Anna stared ahead blankly.
She was still a blind person to the public. She acted as if she did not see the sneering look on their faces.
"Jennifer, what do you mean by that?" Anna put up a face of ignorance.
Jennifer immediately burst into laughter. "Oh my God! Ms. Hamilton, don’t tell me you still don't know that your sister is pregnant with your fiance's child?"
Jennifer raised her voice loudly as if she was worried that the students around her could not hear her as she laughed and gloated over Anna's misfortune.
"What did you say?"
Anna instantly went pale, and her voice could not be restrained from trembling.
Everyone's laughter became even louder.
"Anna really is the dumbest woman in this world!"
"The entire Johannes City knows that her sister and Bryan had an affair, and yet she doesn't know anything!"
"You think you're so high and mighty, so smart. And yet you still don’t know that your sister is pregnant with your fiance’s child!" "Geeky Anna studied till she became dumb! If her sister said that she had an immaculate conception, she might even believe her..."
"Hahaha..."
A wave of derisive jeers rang out around Anna.
"All of you shut up, shut up "
"You're all lying! Why would Chloe be pregnant with Bryan's child?!” Anna shouted in agitation. She clutched Nina with both her hands so tightly that she frowned in pain.
"It can't be, it can't be... This can't be real." Anna feared up as she shook her head incessantly.
"Nina, this can’t be real! Tell me this isn't true..."
Nina was deeply influenced by Anna's act and choked up with tears in her eyes as she spoke.
"Anna, you mustn't be too depressed, I didn't want to lie to you but... That's the truth, you have to hang in there, Anna!"
Anna suddenly took a step back, her face was pale without any hint of color.
"It can't be... How could this be... Bryan always treated Chloe like his own sister..."
"Chloe is my sister, how could she and Bryan..." Anna sobbed in pain.
Everyone stopped laughing when they saw that Anna was deeply hurt and dejected.
"Look at her, what a pity."
"Yeah! Double betrayal by the person closest to her and the person she loved the most."
"That’s a cruel blow."
"Chloe and Bryan are really inhumane!"
Everyone started berating Chloe and Bryan as they surrounded Anna and comforted her. Some also gave her tissues.
Jennifer noticed the shifting of the tides and pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Anna with her arms crossed.
She said arrogantly, "Anna, do you feel horrible? Do you feel your chest tightening, getting stuffy, and difficult to breathe?"
"It's fine, it’ll all be over soon! You’re so tolerable, you'll surely get through this easily!"
Anna murmured miserably, "This isn’t true... This isn't true..."
"Haha..." Jennifer laughed with satisfaction. "It's most likely that the incident at the restaurant was planned by your sister and your fiance. They want everyone to know about this and force you to call off the wedding."
"But you're dumb and agreed to bring forward the wedding. Do you think that you can hang onto an unfaithful man like that? Anna, you're really dumb." "What's the use of studying to be the best in every subject? Burying yourself in books has long been redundant in today's society! Now your relationship is ruined, and your life has also become a failure!"
Jennifer enjoyed seeing how defeated Anna looked as it helped vent the hatred in her heart.
"Haha... There's no use crying at this point. No one will pity you, you idiot!” Jennifer continued ruffling Anna.
Everyone said to Jennifer at once, "Keep your words to yourself, she’s going through a tough time!"
They then consoled Anna.
