15 Finally Finding Her Voice
Adriana slumped onto the worn couch, her mind a haze of exhaustion and disbelief. Deep down, she had anticipated this outcome, yet the sting of it still cut sharply.
Her fingers trembled slightly as she ended the call, her gaze fixed on the muted screen. Without uttering a single word to Matthew afterward, she remained silent, fully aware that once his mind was made up, there was no turning back.
He was immovable, unyielding.
If he had been willing to sacrifice her for Natasha once, she knew he would do it again—and again if necessary—without hesitation.
A slow, heavy sigh escaped Adriana’s lips as she rose, a throbbing ache pulsing behind her temples. She moved toward the door with quiet determination.
If Matthew wouldn’t stand by me, then I have no choice but to stand up for myself.
I refuse to give up so easily.
No influential allies, no powerful connections—none of that mattered anymore. My life might not hold much value to others, but it still belongs to me alone.
Meanwhile, at Langford Group’s sleek headquarters, Matthew stood by the towering window, staring down at his phone with a furrowed brow. A strange mix of frustration and an unfamiliar pang of guilt churned in his chest.
He attempted to call Adriana again, but her phone was off.
Matthew clenched his jaw tightly. She just doesn’t understand what’s best for her.
Rubbing his forehead, he sank into his chair, the dull ache behind his eyes intensifying.
Back then, I wasn’t strong enough to protect Natasha. That’s why she ended up marrying William. Now that she’s back, I have to make things right.
I owe her. After everything she endured overseas, I need to make amends. Whatever Natasha wants, I’ll give it to her.
As for Adriana… I’ve already done more than enough over these past four years. I provided her a place to live, paid for her education, and covered all her expenses. Isn’t that enough?
I’m even willing to offer her something in exchange for the overseas spot. Whatever she asks for, I’ll give it.
Yet beneath it all, a quiet fear lingered—losing Adriana too. Still, in his mind, she could never compare to Natasha. Adriana was simply easier to manage. She demanded less and cost less.
At Haldoria University, Adriana stepped into the advisor’s office alone, the sterile room feeling colder than usual.
“Adriana… the university’s decision is final. The spot’s been given to Cheryl,” her advisor said cautiously, avoiding her eyes. “Try not to dwell on it. As compensation, we’re offering you guaranteed admission to graduate school here.” His tone was carefully measured, attempting to soften the blow.
Everyone knew Adriana deserved that spot.
“There were four placements,” Adriana replied firmly, pulling out a printed copy of the rules. “The university said selections would be based on grades. It clearly states that the top scorers get first pick. I ranked number one—so why didn’t I get any of them?”
The advisor glanced nervously around the room before pulling her aside, lowering his voice. “Adriana, don’t stir up trouble. Some things are beyond your control. Decisions like this come from higher up. There’s nothing we can do.”
“Then I’ll take this public,” Adriana said, her breath coming heavier as she glanced toward the hallway. Reporters were already gathering outside. “I’ve contacted the press. I want the university to explain themselves.”
The advisor’s face froze in shock. He hadn’t expected her to fight back so fiercely.
If this story of favoritism, corruption, and injustice spread, the entire university would be in jeopardy.
“Adriana, stop this now! Get those reporters out of here!” he pleaded, panic creeping into his voice. “Please, just send them away. I’ll talk to the higher-ups.”
“This isn’t just about the placement anymore,” Adriana said, her eyes red but unwavering. “If they can do this to me, they’ll do it to others.”
The reporters had already begun live streaming. One stepped forward, directly questioning the advisor. “Adriana ranked first and has the best qualifications. According to the rules, she should have received a placement to study abroad. Why was it given to someone else?”
Adriana took a slow breath and looked the advisor squarely in the eye. “I’m sorry you’re caught in the middle, but I need to be honest. I recorded our conversation from yesterday.”
The advisor’s face flushed with anger. “Adriana! You know it’s illegal to record someone without their permission!”
She gestured to the room around them. “This is a public office. Recording here is allowed.”
He looked as if he might explode, his face pale with fury. “Fine. That placement was supposed to be yours, but you’re just an orphan. Do you really think you can take on the entire university? You’re being ridiculous!”
Then, turning to the reporters, he barked, “All of you, out! Who let you in here? Where’s security? This is private property, and you’re trespassing! Are you trying to get yourselves fired?”
Pointing sharply at Adriana, his voice was harsh and threatening. “I’m warning you—if this turns into a huge mess, don’t even think about graduating!”
Adriana had anticipated this line of attack. “You’ve pulled this card on other students before—like Georgette Watson. Remember her? She dropped out in her second year, struggling with depression. You picked her because she came from the countryside and was easy to control. You gave her opportunity to Cheryl and scared her into quitting. She went back home after that. How many futures have you destroyed by now?”
For years, Adriana had remained silent, aware she was just another student without support or connections. She had never dared to challenge those in power.
But this time, she refused to back down. She was finally ready to stand up for herself.
It didn’t take long for the story to explode across social media.
The public was furious over the university’s corrupt behavior. Adriana released wave after wave of evidence—voice recordings, documents, undeniable proof. Her experience struck a chord with students everywhere. Even Georgette, who had disappeared from university life, returned online to share her story of mistreatment by the advisor and Cheryl.
Within hours, the university was overwhelmed by backlash.
The PR team scrambled to release a vague statement, attempting to spin the situation. They insisted that high grades or strong portfolios didn’t automatically guarantee selection for the overseas program.
But they failed to grasp how badly things had spiraled out of control.
Then Adriana posted her entire portfolio online. Soon after, internet users uncovered Cheryl’s submission—and exposed her for hiring someone else to create the entire project.
The revelation that Cheryl had plagiarized and purchased her work spread like wildfire.
Meanwhile, Adriana’s portfolio was undeniably excellent. No one could dispute its quality.
At that moment, the university lost all control over the narrative. Panic swept through upper management. One leader called Cheryl directly, ordering her to step aside and give Adriana the placement—or face even worse consequences.
Furious and desperate, Cheryl stormed to Natasha.
Natasha had never anticipated this. Adriana had proven she knew how to fight back—and strike hard.
As the trending posts were taken down, Natasha hurried to Langford Group to find Matthew.
She entered his office, worry etched across her face. “Anna’s social media is exploding. Everyone’s blaming Cheryl now. My aunt said… Cheryl’s been crying nonstop. She even said she doesn’t want to live anymore.”
Her voice cracked as she fought back tears. “Matthew, please… can you talk to Anna? Ask her to give the placement to Cheryl. I’ll pay whatever it takes. I’ll beg if I have to.”
Matthew was stunned. He hadn’t expected Adriana to resist so fiercely.
“I’ll handle it,” he said, pulling Natasha into a brief embrace, his heart heavy for her. After seeing the news online, he snapped at his assistant, “Delete that post—immediately! Block every account sharing it. And bring Adriana here. I want to speak with her.”
The assistant nodded quickly and left without hesitation.
Natasha looked up at Matthew, hope flickering in her eyes. “This opportunity means everything to Cheryl.”
Matthew nodded solemnly. “Don’t worry. I’ll talk to Adriana and convince her to step back.”
A soft, trusting smile spread across Natasha’s face. “I know you will.”
