On the first-floor lobby of the Grand Lexus Hotel.
The students had all gathered there-some with smiles on their faces while others with expressions of despair.
When Nina saw Anna, she hurriedly ran over to her. Her heart ached when she saw the gauze wrapped around Anna’s hands.
"Anna, did Mr. Ackman make things difficult for you again? How did this happen?”
Anna retracted her hands and smiled. "I'm fine! He didn't make things difficult for me. It was my carelessness that got me injured."
Liam's constant lectures were slowly making her spit lies out of her mouth.
Urgh!
That deceitful, two-faced man!
He wanted to take advantage of her yet somehow made her willingly accept. He truly was commendable.
"Mr. Ackman is horrible. How is this not considered making your life difficult?" Nina grumbled softly as she held Anna's dainty hands sympathetically.
Jennifer marched over to her arrogantly. A vibrant smile bloomed on her face when she saw the sorry state that Anna’s hands were in.
"Haha... Ms. Anna, what happened to you? Oh, you're s o delicate! I bet yesterday must have been horrible for you. Did you get all your marks deducted?"
Nina glared at her furiously. "Jennifer Wurst, enough with the mockery. You’re not any better! I heard that a guest had left because of you!"
Jennifer widened her beautiful eyes and said in an endearing voice, "Nina Scott, what are you screaming about? You are just a little chihuahua fawning over Anna Hamilton. When she loses, let's see how you can intimidate me with your connections to her!"
"You...!"
Nina’s eyes turned bloodshot from rage.
Anna pulled Nina behind her and gazed at Jennifer coldly. "Nina, some rabid dogs just like to bark, and we should let them! Otherwise, they might go crazy and start biting people! We even need to get vaccinated if things take a turn for the wurst!"
"Anna Hamilton! Who are you calling a rabid dog?" Jennifer rushed up to her wrathfully.
Anna was amused. "Rabid dog? You even admitted it yourself,"
Everyone else burst out into laughter too.
Furious, Jennifer wanted to fight it out with Anna. However, Mindy stopped her.
"Jennifer, the supervisor is arriving soon. Don’t cause trouble.”
"Listen well, Jennifer. Nina is the greatest friend I've ever had in this lifetime! In the future, she will be a thousand or even a million times better than you! As for me, I won’t lose to you because you don't have the right to make me lose yet!"
"Just you wait, Anna Hamilton! One day, I will make you kneel and be my slave!"
Just then, James came in. The crowd instantly fell into pin-drop silence. That was because Olivia was following behind him with a stern and emotionless face.
"Quiet down and stand properly! Look at yourselves! Your lines are crooked and you can't even stand upright! What is this? Do you want your marks deducted again?" Olivia scolded coldly.
Everyone hastily stood straight.
Jennifer glared hard at Anna, then turned away and returned to her spot.
James flipped open the mark sheet and read out their marks.
"Mindy Kolher, twenty marks deduction, leaving you with eighty marks.
"Jennifer Wurst, ten marks deduction, left with ninety marks.
"Nina Scott, thirty marks deduction, left with seventy marks.
"Anna Hamilton, sixty marks deduction, left with forty marks."

The crowd instantly broke out into a commotion.
"What happened to Geeky Anna? Why did she have so many marks deducted?"
"Who is the guest for her team? Isn’t it a little too cruel? How could they have the heart to do this to such a beautiful woman?"
"God, I thought I was doing horribly. Who would have thought she is doing worse than me! I feel more at ease now."
"At ease my *ss! Did you forget how much you betted o n Geeky Anna?"
"Sh*t! I’m doomed..."
U H
Jennifer turned in Anna's direction and scoffed coldly. She had an extremely conceited expression on her face.
