Chapter 301 Just Bear With It

• Ariana's POV:
• Jeremy rebutted with righteous indignation in his tone. "I'm not afraid of wagging tongues. You've done nothing wrong. It isn't fair that you've ended up as fodder for gossip just because you dated Stefan Jablonsky."
• His words had left me speechless. Unfortunately, any kindness being shown to me right now felt like another weight on my shoulders. My past with Stefan had already crushed me. I wasn't sure if I would be able to escape his shadow.
