Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)

Chapter 253 Where Did the Photos Come From?

Anna's lips curved into a smile, eyes alive with the fire of hope, looking at Jennifer unblinkingly.

"Jennifer, the person who cheated, is you!"

"What are you saying?!” Jennifer was so angry her tone climbed a notch.

Anna laughed and walked towards her, her voice calm and steady, so all her classmates could hear her.

"To earn a high salary, you worked as a chest model at a lingerie company!"

Their surroundings exploded in a cacophony of noises.

"She's the daughter of the Wurst family, a socialite through and through. How could she be a chest model, just to place first!”

Jennifer blushed till the tips of her ears were red," Anna Hamilton! Shut up! Who... I never did that!"

"I have photos as proof, they're original, not photoshopped. It shows your face clearly!" Anna raised her phone up high.

Her classmates' eyes shone brightly, "Let me see, let m e see!"

"Send it to the class group, we can all share it!"

Nina laughed, "That's right Anna, send it to us! We want to see what she's hiding underneath her clothes!"

Nina glanced towards Jennifer...

Everyone's eyes traced hers and looked towards her. Jennifer was so furious she crossed her arms across her chest and scolded, "There's nothing to see!"

"Just show us! You took the photos to show people, didn't you?" Everyone chimed in happily, excitement written across their faces.

Anna smiled evilly, "You guys want to see?"

Everyone nodded enthusiastically, "Of course! We want to see badly!"

"Anna Hamilton-" Jennifer shouted in anger.

Anna laughed lightly and tucked her phone away, "I won’t do something as shameless as that!"

"Anna Hamilton, are you threatening me?" Jennifer was so angry her face was as red as a tomato.

"When did I threaten you? You said you didn't do it? Then why are you afraid?"

"Anna Hamilton!" Jennifer gritted her teeth, continued holding her head up high, "Even if I did it so what? I earned a living with my own abilities, not like you, cheater!"

"You said I cheated, but you did too!" Anna retorted.

"How did I cheat? I used the 100 dollars as principal and earned the 100,000 dollars salary with my own hard work and labor!"

"If what you said is correct, then why don't we all just g o work as prostitutes? Is that right?" Nina snapped.

Everyone nodded in agreement, "It's not right at all."

Jennifer stomped her feet furiously, "I worked as a model, what's wrong with that? You sold the sample w e did in school as practice, that's cheating!" Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Anna smiled lightly, "So according to your logic, you used your body, the beautiful figure you gained over the years to earn a profit, and that’s not considered cheating?"

"Anna Hamilton, you!" Jennifer stammered, infuriated. "Don't try to get yourself out of this by clever wordplay! You're obviously the cheater!"

"Alright then, let everyone decide! I used my sample film to gain employment, in the end, the idea I sold was a new sample I made in the last three days. If I'm considered a cheater, then you, who used your figure you cultivated over the years to earn a profit, are also a cheater!"

Everyone was confused by her words, discussing the issue amongst themselves.

"Then... I think both of them cheated!"

"It doesn't make sense!"

"That's right, they both use their own ability to earn their profits, I don’t think it's cheating!" "If I'm considered to be cheating and my assessment results declared invalid, then Jennifer, yours should b e too! Because you didn't earn the profit with the 100 dollars as principal, but your body!" Anna looked towards Jennifer and shook her head lightly.

"It's just normal, I guess they would have to put a lot of effort into post-production, photoshop it properly before it can be used in the advertisement."

"Anna Hamilton!" Jennifer gritted her teeth so loudly the sound of the cracks should be heard, her eyes red with anger.

Anna burst out laughing, "I'll accept whatever punishment Ms. Finch deals me. What about you?"

Jennifer was so furious her whole body was shaking, not a single word leaving her lips.

Olivia glanced towards the bustling students, "That’s i t, quiet down! Now, please vote, who do you think should be disqualified?"

Their classmates glanced at each other and whispered amongst themselves.

"I don't think they cheated! Even if they did, both of them are equally guilty."

"I don't think they cheated too, some of us worked as waiters, some as salespeople. If they’re considered cheaters, so are the rest of us..."

"I agree, I don't think they should be disqualified.”

"Alright, both of their results are still valid,” Finch ordered.

Jennifer almost exploded from anger, eyes glaring straight at Anna. She wanted nothing more than to cut her up into tiny little pieces and cook her for dinner.

Jennifer put her foot into her own mouth. She was faced with a difficult choice, either she would be disqualified together with Anna or be satisfied with second place, and she still had the chance of finishing first at the final assessment.

"Alright! I'll announce the final results of this assessment."

The students quietened down.

Finch continued.

"The true purpose of this assessment is not to see how much money you made in the end, but to test your teamwork and cooperation!"

"What? Teamwork and cooperation? Didn't the rules forbid us from helping each other?" The students whispered amongst themselves again.

Finch coughed twice, to ensure the students remained quiet, "Even though you were forbidden from helping each other, but two of you worked in a team, and your results as a team were taken into consideration. The only team where both members earned the same amount of money, was Anna Hamilton and Nina Scott." "That's why first place goes to Hamilton and Scott!"

The moment Finch finished, thunderous applause sounded in the lobby,

Anna and Nina held each other’s hands tightly, smiling happily.

Finch continued.

"Even though Jennifer Wurst earned 100,000 dollars and placed second, but her teammate Mindy Kohler only earned 600 dollars, it's obvious both of them didn't work together. 30 points will be deducted from Jennifer, everyone else will have 20 points deducted.”

"Why?" Jennifer shouted in protest.

Finch glanced at Jennifer out of the corners of her eyes, "Because you didn't cooperate with your teammate, the difference between the two of you is staggering!"

Jennifer continued to protest, but Finch ignored her complaints.

"Alright, you now have one day to rest and recuperate. Gather here at 9 am the day after tomorrow, for the final assessment. All of you go home and rest, be prepared for your final assessment."

Even though the deduction of their marks saddened all of them, they were glad to get a day's rest.

"Since the beginning of the assessment, I haven't had a good night’s sleep! Finally, I can go home and take a good nap!"

"But why does it feel like Ms. Finch is telling us to enjoy the rest while we can, the final assessment will b e a cruel one..."

"Oh my gosh! Are they trying to kill us? The first two were already cruel enough. I'll die if they upped the ante..."

Anna couldn't help but curse internally, Liam’s assessments would only get tougher and tougher.

Anna dragged Nina and ran outside, but Jennifer suddenly appeared, blocking their path, eyes staring a t her, full of hatred.

"Spill it! Where did you get the photos from?"
