Chapter 215 Silent as the Grave
Chapter 215 Silent as the Grave
The school auditorium immediately erupted in chaos.
Everyone discussed, "Unrelated to our specialization?"
"This is the first time I've heard an internship assessment being separate from its corresponding specialization."
"Was I struck by lightning? I'm completely stunned!"
Anna was shocked as well, her mind flooded with Liam’s warning to her...
"Do you think you can escape?”
My God!
What exactly was Liam trying to do?
Ruin her?
Anna’s confidence was instantly shattered! She was the top student in her specialization, but she dared not guarantee that she was just as great in other topics!
If she had known this earlier, she would have accepted Liam’s help...
She even promised that she would succeed and scolded him fiercely!
Jennifer’s face had a complacent smile as she shifted her gaze toward Anna. "Humph! You’re finished! The
number one position is mine!"
Anna stared at Jennifer and said, "The assessment hasn't even begun, don't get too excited!"
"The assessment's venue and topic will be announced during tomorrow's gathering. The internship duration is one week," said Principal Mason.
Principal Mason finished his words and glanced at Liam beside him whose face stayed completely emotionless. He had no idea why Liam was so cold and terrifying on that day.
Principal Mason wanted to ask Liam if he had anything more to say but he dared not do so. He dared not end the meeting either without Liam's approval so he continued looking for something to say.
"Everyone get some good rest tonight."
"This assessment is going to be a great opportunity to test your social survival skills."
"Keep your heads up, don't complain of hardship!"
"Well...” Principal Mason then looked toward Liam. "M r. Ackman, why don't you say a few words."
Liam remained silent and emotionless as he stared in Anna’s direction.
Anna felt that Liam was going to pierce two holes in her as she waited excruciatingly for the principal to announce their dismissal.
However, Principal Mason kept looking at Liam with a smile and waited for him to speak.
There was no idea what was wrong with Liam on that day. He refused to speak and made everyone tense.
The students were groaning in distress, not because of the internship, but rather it was because they just placed all their bets on Geeky Anna.
Would Anna still succeed if the specialized knowledge was not applicable in the assessment?
Nina snuck closer to Anna and asked, "Anna, it looks like Mr. Ackman is constantly staring at you."
Anna pretended like she did not know. "Oh? I don’t see it, you must be mistaken."
Liam was unhappy that Anna kept avoiding his gaze. He suddenly stood up and stomped off the stage and left in a showy manner.
Everyone immediately exchanged looks. "What's going on with Mr. Ackman?"
"I don’t know, looks like he's angry!"
"Who offended him?"
"It's not us."
Principal Mason saw that Liam had left and quickly exclaimed, "Dismissed!" He brought the school administrators and hurriedly chased after Liam.
Anna let out a deep sigh and slumped against her seat as she wiped the sweat off her forehead.
Jennifer stood up with her arms crossed and snorted," What’s wrong, Geeky Anna? You must be scared now! Your face is so pale from fear! Just say that you're scared and give up on this assessment!"
"Who said I'm scared!?” Anna angrily glanced at Jennifer. This woman was so annoying, her constant babbling made Anna’s head hurt.
Jennifer chuckled loudly and said, "If you’re brave enough, do you dare have a bet during the internship? The loser will become the winner’s slave for a year!"
Become a slave?
What kind of bet was this!
"Anna, just say whether or not you have the guts to do i t!" said Jennifer as if success was at hand.
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Is Jennifer crazy? That’s such a huge bet!"
"Yeah! Gorgeous Anna has always been the top student!"
"Isn't she walking into the lion’s den by competing with the top student?"
Jennifer looked like she had a well thought-out plan and raised her head high. "Anna, do you dare to compete or not!"
Anna met Jennifer’s provocative gaze and softly said two words, "How boring."
Jennifer felt like she was punched in the chest as the fiery rage inside her was close to bursting out.
"Anna, are you scared? You coward!"
Anna stood up and said, "Jennifer, you're so childish!"
"Anna! Just admit that you're scared, there's still time for you to admit defeat. Next time you see me, you better move out of my way. Get far away from me wherever I go, alright?"
Everyone felt a little displeased. "Why is Jennifer crossing the line further and further?"
"Yeah! I can't bear watching this!"
"Gorgeous Anna, you should compete with her. You definitely wouldn't lose judging from your
capabilities. We'll see how she can keep up her arrogance then!"
"Exactly. Gorgeous Anna, there's no need to be afraid o f her, you have our support!"
"The legendary Charles is supporting you too!"
The students laughed as they chanted, "Charles!"
Anna felt embarrassed and annoyed and said," Jennifer, the number one position has always been mine!"
"Don't overestimate yourself! Let me tell you this, Anna. Don't think that you can be all high and mighty just because you have a rich kid giving you lucky draws! At the end of the day, you were still abandoned by the Dawson family! Your marriage was canceled even before you could join their family!” said Jennifer.
Nina rushed forward and said, "It's Anna who called off the engagement, not the Dawsons! Be clear with your words, Jennifer! Stop polluting the place with your stench!”
Everyone snickered at Jennifer.
Jennifer's looked uneasy and she grunted coldly," Nina, move aside, I can't be bothered to argue with you. I only want to ask Anna whether she has the guts to compete or not!”
"Fine!"
Anna shouted.
"Anna!" Nina worriedly looked at her and continued," She’s doing it on purpose, don’t let her provoke you! Let's ignore her!"
Anna looked at Jennifer coldly and said, “A slave for a year, right?"
Jennifer flipped her burgundy-colored hair and glanced at Anna and said, "Precisely!" NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Anna suddenly raised her voice. "However, I have another condition.”
"What condition?” asked Jennifer.
Anna smiled lightly like a blooming flower and captivated many eyes with her beauty. "Besides becoming a slave for a year, the loser has to pay the
winner 50 million, any objections?"
The whole place was as silent as the grave.
Everyone was taken aback by Anna’s powerful aura.
The sounds of saliva being swallowed could be heard i n the auditorium.
It's 50 million! It's not just a few thousand or tens of thousands!
Although the Wurst family is one of the renowned families in Johannes City, it would still be a little difficult to wager 50 million in cash all at once!
Meanwhile, everyone knew that Anna was the eldest daughter of the Hamilton family and the successor to the Lincoln Group, but what she had on hand was barely enough. She has enough money for living expenses and to splurge, but 50 million was a lot of money and she might not be able to fork it out.
Everyone privately discussed among each other and agreed that this was going to be an exciting show!
Suddenly, the crowd became heated by the uncertain struggle between the two of them. They were so excited as if the winner would share a part of the winning with themselves.
Nina looked at Anna with panic and fear. "Anna, what are you trying to do?"
