Listen Audiobook Version:



"Look who I've bumped into-Ariana Torrey, who's just been dumped by Brian Lodge!" Lila deliberately raised her voice, attracting everyone's attention in the otherwise silent library.

Ariana did not want any drama. She bent over, ready to pickup her books, but Maddie stepped hard on her hands with her high heels. As if that weren't enough, Maddie smugly ground her heel down with a cruel twist of her ankle.

A searing pain shot through Ariana's body. She struggled to get up-not that Maddie would let her.

Lila smirked. "You've flaunted your status as the future Mr. Lodge on campus. Now that the engagement has been called off, why aren't you showing off as Ariana Torrey instead?"

"She is a nobody now. Everyone knows the Torreys are on the brink of bankruptcy. Their family business is on the verge of failing. She's reached her end after Brian Lodge called off all their business partnerships and their engagement. I bet she can't even pay her tuition fees." Madale put on a mocking smirk.

Evelyn immediately intervened, "Maddie, stop it. Allow Ariana to get up."

"Huh? Eve, you're too kind. You were supposed to be with Brian Lodge, but Ariana shamelessly took him from you! She deserves everything that has happened to her now! She's the reason you and Brian parted ways. Stop speaking up for her!!

As Maddie spoke, she stepped harder on Ariana's hand. Before long, bruises started to appear across Ariana's skin.

"If she's willing to apologize to you, we'll forgive her and put everything in the past."

"Yeah! Get her to pick up all our books she's knocked off our arms!"

Lila and Maddie gleefully made suggestions as they stared down at Ariana, who seemed fangless without Brian's backing. She was no threat to them at all.

Everyone in the library watched the drama unfold with bated breaths.

At that moment, a cold voice rang from behind, "What are you doing?"

Maddie immediately moved her leg away out of fear, but Ariana's hand was severely bruised and now swollen.

Books scattered around the floor.

"M-Mr. Kingsman..." Maddie's face paled when she saw the stern look on William's face.

William had always been the most gentlemanly and kind among all the professors. Everyone knew him as the CEO of Kingsman Co. and Brian's rival.

With just one word, William could get a student expelled.

Fear crept up Lila too.

She quickly explained, "It was Ariana! She bumped into us, knocking our books out of our arms, but refused to apologize! We're just teaching her a lesson!"

"Yeah! It's all Ariana's fault!" Maddie mindlessly shifted all the blame to Ariana.

Earlier, rumors about the relationship between William and Ariana had spread like wildfire across the campus.

Evelyn regained her composure and went up to William. "William, this is our fault, but it's true that Ariana ran into us in the first place. So...

"Evelyn, we're at school. Please address me as Mr. Kingsman."
