Chapter 331
“Ariana has been on a break for months. And how is she gonna take the exam with an Injured hand? Let's get her
to drop out of college for the sake of our graduate rate.”
Christopher gave out orders and hung up, not allowing Derek to put in a word.
Derek stared at the phone and grumbled glumly, “Why did you sendto do the dirty job? How about you do it
yourself?”
Despite the complaints, Derek did not waste a minute carrying out the task. He decided to plan out a speech and
deliver the news to Ariana tomorrow.
At the stime, Christopher dialed Evelyn's number and spoke to her warmly, “Evelyn-our dear president of
the student council-I've made the library look into the security footage regarding the trouble Ariana started
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttoday, and we confirmed that she had struck first.
“I've ordered Mr. Stewart to get Ariana to drop out of school. You have nothing to worry about now.”
Meanwhile, Evelyn seemed to have predicted Christopher switching sides. She didn’t seem surprised at all.
Anyone knew to take the side of those whom they'd benefit from.
“Right. Thank you for upholding justice, Mr. Gail.” With that, she hung up.
Brennan asked her, “What makes you so happy?”
“Just sgood news.” She beamed.
Ariana made the stupidest mistake by calling off her marriage to Brian. In Gleaston, where one’s background and
connections mattered, she had rendered herself worthless without Brian as her
fiancé.
Evelyn felt great after Christopher made that promise.
The next day, Ariana received the call from Derek early in the morning. Although he worded it carefully, she
could tell that he was convincing her to drop out of school.
“Mr. Stewart, is this your opinion, or is it Mr. Gail's idea?”
Derek’s heart dropped to the floor, but soon, he recovered. No matter whose idea it is, the incident has
happened. Evelyn said you started it, and we saw you grabbing her wrist on the security footage.
“If news gets out, your reputation will take a hit. Besides, your grades are fluctuating. The graduation exam this
year is going to be tough. Aren't you injured in the hand too? There is no point in sitting for the exam. It would be
better to drop out of college for your reputation.”

Derek patiently laid out the pros and cons for Ariana, but she thought it was ridiculous. She had proven her
innocence in front of Christopher yesterday, but he insisted on blaming everything on her.
She replied, “Mr. Stewart, please tell Mr. Gail not to worry about me. | will pass the graduation exam. | will not
bow down to tactics to makedrop out of college.
“If Mr. Gail thinks | hurt the other students, | suggest he gets the police involved in the investigation. If the police
conclude that | have indeed hurt my peers, the school can expel me.”
Derek grew impatient in the face of her stubbornness. “Ariana, I'm talking nicely to you now. Please grow up, will
you?

“You staying in college will hurt our graduation rate. Besides, we'll all look bad if news gets out. It's much better
to take our advice and leave school. Given your family background, you can always go abroad to kickstart your
career. Why would you stay in Glea College?”
