Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)
Chapter 272 Future Lady of the House

"Yeah, Jennifer, when will you pay up?"

"Don't forget, 50 million dollars and work as a slave for a year!"

"She can't get out of it; we have video evidence. Ha-ha 99

The students started discussing amongst themselves.

Jennifer opened her mouth and looked at Liam's cold expression. She couldn't say a word. Her body trembled, almost falling. Luckily, Mindy caught her and steadied her on her feet. "Jennifer, stop, you lost..." Mindy looked at her worriedly.

Jennifer stared at Anna, Hatred flowed in her eyes, but with Liam there, she didn't dare say anything. She forcibly suppressed her rage.

The crowd started laughing, everyone taking turns to congratulate Anna.

Jennifer gritted her teeth in anger, fire shooting out of her eyes.

Nina laughed and said, "Jennifer, when are you going to pay up? Don't think about getting away!"

"Jennifer will never do that! It's just 50 million, it's nothing to the Wurst family!" Mindy stood in front of

Jennifer and shouted.

"Unlike someone else who's nothing but an empty shell!" Mindy glanced towards Anna; it was obvious these words were aimed at her.

Anna laughed lightly, "Don't say that, it's 50 million dollars. Even if her family is loaded, it will be difficult to pay such a huge sum in cash." "Anna, don't be too happy! Jennifer isn't a sore loser!" Mindy's arm was tugged sharply by Jennifer, and Jennifer glared at her.

Mindy was scared into silence, "Jen..."

"You stupid thing! Stop running your mouth!" Jennifer screamed.

Mindy bowed her head and shut her mouth tightly.

Nina hooked her arm through Anna's, "They're fighting amongst themselves!"

"Ha! Jennifer must feel like jumping off a building now, ha-ha..." Nina laughed.

"The top three winners please report to the Ackman Group a week later. That's it for today, everyone can leave now." Finch broke the argument. Everyone gathered around Anna, filled with excitement.

Jennifer was left all alone, scorned and embarrassed. She used her remaining energy to head for the exit, but after just two steps, someone called out to her. "Jennifer, don't even think of running away! When will you pay up."

"Exactly, come on, it's time for you to honor your word.

The students all started shouting, gathering around her.

"Come on, we're waiting for our money!"

Jennifer looked at all the faces surrounding her and swayed on her feet, her face pale as snow.

Anna looked at Liam who remained where he was, looking like he was enjoying the show. This evil man must be waiting for Anna to receive the betting money and treat him to a good meal. "Jennifer, enough with your tricks! Pay up!" The students urged her impatiently.

Nina jerked Anna's arm, motioning for Anna to urge Jennifer to collect on their bet.

Anna glanced at Liam discreetly again, a delighted smile on his face. She scoffed.

The students were starting to get agitated again.

"Come on! It's time for you to realize the bet!"

"That's right, wake up!"

They produced the video they recorded on the day of the bet and showed it to everyone in the vicinity as evidence.

Jennifer was dumbstruck. Faced with the ridicule of the crowd, her mind buzzed, she looked at Anna and opened her mouth. Wj H

Accordingly, everyone glanced towards Anna, waiting for the main character to enter the scene.

Liam glanced at her too, watching how she would collect her debts.

But no one expected her to say, "Forget it."

The air froze, everyone was stunned speechless. Eyes filled with disbelief, they stared at Anna in shock.

"What?!" The crowd shouted in unison.

"How can you let this go?" The crowd was enveloped in a frenzy.

"We waited so long, looked forward to this day for so long, you can't just waive the bet like this!"

"Exactly! Anna, if you were the one who lost today, she definitely wouldn't let you off so easily!" Nina agreed.

Liam raised his eyebrows and looked at Anna. His gaze deepened.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but she wasn't tempted at all?

Anna looked calmly at Jennifer who was staring at her with an identical expression of disbelief, "Your ears are still working, I said forget it." "You... why..." Jennifer was stupefied.

"We are classmates after all, we spent the last four years together, there's no point in fighting to the death over an internship."

Anna glanced towards Liam, "I think the final goal of Mr. Ackman's assessment is not to choose the first-place winner but to determine a person's character, and whether he or she has the grace to accept his peers."

Liam gazed at Anna, praise filled his eyes.

Jennifer felt so ashamed she wanted to burrow into the ground and disappear. Her face turned paler than before.

The crowd was silent.

Anna thought she had ruined the atmosphere and felt awkward, but right then the students started singing her praises.

"Anna's the best!"

"Anna's right! We don't have to spoil our friendship of four years for a bet!"

"We're all still friends! When everyone is tired from work, at least we'll still have our friends to gather and relax with!" "Ha-ha! Anna's right!"

The students crowded around her, their faces full of smiles as they stared at her in admiration.

Liam stared at Anna who was also smiling from ear to

ear, and his lips curved into a slight smile.

This little woman was indeed smart, he had to give it to her.

Jennifer stared at Anna listlessly, a bundle of emotions running through her, she was relieved and yet felt disgraced. Jennifer laughed self-deprecatingly. Her cold gaze swept across Anna and made her way out of the crowd wordlessly. "Hey! What's wrong with her?"

"Exactly! Whatever, forget her, let's go and have some fun, the past few days have been exhausting!"

"Come on, Anna, even the second place is gone, you can't leave us too?"

Anna laughed and said, "What do you want to eat? My treat!"

The crowd roared in approval, "Anna's the best!"

Anna turned and looked at Liam but he had already left, the spot where he stood now left empty. Her heart squeezed in her chest. "Come on, let's go for karaoke!"

Anna was almost pushed out of the lobby by her enthusiastic classmates.

Olivia watched the disappearing crowd, stared at Anna's retreating back, and smiled softly.

"Ms. Hamilton does indeed have foresight. She'll do great things when she joins the Ackman Group." Finch rarely praised her students.

James laughed. "Of course! She's our future lady of the house!"
