The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Humiliation at the Gate

Finished

Evelyn’s face flushed red with anger. “That Eliza! I’m her mother–her legal guardian! Why can’t I collect her admission letter? You people are being ridiculous!”

The admissions officer didn’t bother with pleasantries.

“First of all, Eliza is legally an adult. She no longer needs a guardian.”

“Second, this is the admissions office–not a place for your tantrums. Keep this up, and I’ll have you removed.”

Naomi, clearly unnerved, tugged at Evelyn’s sleeve. “Mom, maybe we should just go…”

Several teachers had already stepped outside to watch the scene unfold.

None of them had ever seen anyone make such a scene at Claire University.

Evelyn lowered her voice slightly, realizing they were attracting attention. “I understand there are requirements here. But since Eliza was admitted, Naomi should be eligible too. Sure, Naomi’s grades aren’t quite as good–but background–wise, we’re the same family!”

The admissions officer could no longer keep her temper in check. “Ma’am, if you keep making a scene, I’ll call security. Leave. Now.”

“You-!”

Evelyn gritted her teeth. “Eliza already cut ties with our family! You’ll regret admitting the wrong person! The Rivers family is one of the most prominent names in Westbrook! Just wait until I tell my husband. He’ll invest tens of millions into this school, and then we’ll see if you still act this arrogant!”

That outburst drew laughter from the bystanders–teachers and students alike.

Tens of millions?

At Claire University, even the average student’s pocket change rivaled that.

The school’s annual budget ran into billions. What could a few tens of millions possibly do?

Still, they managed to suppress their laughter, if only barely.

Evelyn, oblivious to the glances around her, continued her rant.

“The Rivers family doesn’t need evaluation. If we wanted to invest billions, we could! You’d still refuse my daughter a spot?”

“I’m sorry, ma’am,” said the admissions officer, her expression now cold, “but even if your family invested billions, unqualified students will not be admitted. Please leave.”

With that, she made a call to the security office.

Moments later, two guards arrived and seized Evelyn and Naomi by the arms.

“Please come with us.”

“Let go of me! I’m Evelyn! How dare you treat me like this?!”

Evelyn struggled furiously.

Suddenly, a calm yet commanding voice echoed nearby. “Let them go.”

The guards turned to look.

Standing at the entrance was Tyson.

Naomi froze.

That’s Nolan’s uncle…

What’s he doing here?

“Mr. Tyson.”

The admissions officer quickly stood and approached him respectfully. “What brings you here today, sir?”

“Just wanted to look over your admission list.”

“Of course, Mr. Tyson.”

Naomi rushed forward. “Sir! We met before–do you remember me?”

As she lunged toward him, Tyson’s assistant Julio immediately stepped in to block her.

“Apologies. Mr. Tyson does not meet with outsiders.”

Tyson didn’t even raise his head–didn’t spare Naomi a glance.

Naomi panicked. “Mr. Tyson! I’m Naomi–Eliza’s sister! We met at the New Year’s gala at Westbrook High!”

At the mention of Eliza, Tyson’s hand paused mid–motion.

He lifted a finger.

Julio stepped aside.
