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

Chapter 214 What Are They Trying to Do?

Liam walked toward the podium accompanied by Principal Mason.

Principal Mason respectfully invited Liam to have a seat followed by the rest of the school administrators.

Principal Mason tapped on the microphone and coughed. He drank some water and then he spoke officially.

"My fellow students, the meeting is about to begin. Please maintain silence."

The venue was already so quiet that one could hear a pin drop when Liam appeared but Principal Mason still seemed to be unsatisfied.

"Stop lowering your heads to your phones! Your Gorgeous Anna is in a meeting, there won’t be any lucky draws in the group chat."

The crowd erupted with laughter the moment Principal Mason finished his words. Anna suddenly blushed then quickly lowered her head and covered her forehead as everyone looked in her direction.

Principal Mason cleared his throat and looked toward Liam and handed him the microphone.

The students below stage immediately corrected their posture and gave Liam their full attention. They looked like they were expecting something special.

Liam's deep gaze shifted toward the crowded venue as he easily focused on Anna who sat in the crowd.

Anna's entire body trembled as she quickly lowered her head to avoid Liam's cold and terrifying gaze.

Principal Mason saw that Liam had kept silent and laughed. "Mr. Ackman, look at how great the student's attitudes are! Not bad, not bad! That’s truly worthy of gratification!"

Principal Mason then said a few words of encouragement to the students before their internship which annoyed the crowd.

Everyone, especially the female students, eagerly stared at Liam. They wanted to look at every part of Liam if they could, inside and out, and immediately lunge at him...

Everyone waited for a long time but Liam still did not speak and simply stood there looking cold and distant.

The students slowly started discussing with one another, "What is Mr. Ackman thinking about?"

"Why isn't he announcing the internship’s contents yet? Then we can stop wasting our time listening to the principal's nonsense.”

"What’s going on with Mr. Ackman? Who is he looking at?" Everyone followed Liam’s gaze and looked toward Anna.

Anna quickly lowered her head and talked to the female student beside her as a facade.

"Hey, your clothes look nice, where did you get them?"

Jennifer crossed her arms and glared at Anna. "Anna, are you mad?"

Anna awkwardly stretched the corner of her lips. What luck, the person who sat beside her was her enemy, Jennifer!

"How unlucky, can't believe I'm sitting next to you!"

"Yeah! It's really unlucky,” said Anna as she swallowed her saliva.

"If it wasn’t for Mr. Ackman being on stage, I would’ve switched seats long ago!" Jennifer rolled her eyes at Anna.

A couple of female students on the other side of Anna tugged on her and said, "Gorgeous Anna, ignore her, she's just jealous of you! She keeps speaking ill of you i n the group chat."

"I’m jealous of her?" Jennifer raised her voice.

"If it's not jealousy then what else could it be? You're jealous that Anna has someone like Charles willing to hold lucky draws and spending so much money to see her smile!"

Jennifer angrily pointed at them and said, "Just a few lucky draws is enough to sway the lot of you! So unambitious! So unrefined and short-sighted!"

"Jennifer, if you're so ambitious then you shouldn't be participating! I still remember that you’ve managed to snatch at least a few hundred thousand, right?"

"What? A few hundred thousand is a lot!" Anna covered her mouth in shock and turned and glared at Jennifer. "You took so much of my lucky draw prize money!"

Jennifer froze for a moment and then got angry. "Did you guys not win a lot as well? That fool has so much money but nowhere to spend it. Since he likes spreading his wealth so much, I'm helping him by claiming it!"

The crowd stared at her with disdain. "She still dares call us greedy for taking advantage while she's just the same!"

Jennifer was so angry that her face turned red hot. She stared at Anna and insulted her. "Anna, I heard that you went blind and canceled your marriage! No wait, your sister stole your fiance and even had a child with him! I thought you would be hiding in your house and afraid of meeting people, I didn’t think that you would be such a resilient cockroach."

Anna chuckled and looked toward Liam who was sitting behind the podium and spoke to Jennifer softly.

"You need to be taught a lesson for what you just said! You took my lucky draw and yet you still dare insult m e! I heard that Charles said that anyone who dares to slander me will be sued for scamming." "A few hundred thousand..." Anna pondered for a few seconds. "I wonder how long your sentence will de."

Jennifer was so angry that her expression changed." Anna!"

"I'm right here, there’s no need to shout. You’ll be punished if you disturbed the school administrators o n the stage!"

Jennifer trembled in anger and said, "No wonder your fiance cheated on you and your sister betrayed you, no one wants a woman like you! You'll spend your entire life as a nun!"

Anna felt a little pain in her heart.

At that moment, Nina’s voice came from behind.

"Jennifer, are you keeping up the record of not brushing your teeth every day? I think you've succeeded, your mouth needs flushing. Potty mouth!”

Everyone around stifled their laughter as they raised their thumbs at Nina.

"That's so awesome!"

"You said it right!"

Jennifer’s face suddenly turned redder as she gritted her teeth. If not for Liam and the school administrators being on the stage, she would have ripped Anna and Nina to shreds.

Anna turned around and saw Nina's bright smile." Anna, you're finally back!" "Nina! I thought you wouldn’t come.” Anna was happy as well.

"I had something going on so I was a few minutes late," said Nina smilingly as she patted Anna’s shoulder as a show of support. "The mighty Anna's powerful comeback!"

"Of course I have to make my comeback," said Anna with a grin.

Principal Mason cleared his throat again and the students quickly fell silent.

The principal coughed again and took the microphone in front of Liam.

"Alright! Let me explain the arrangement for the internship assessment."

"Firstly, the assessment is going to be different from previous ones, Mr. Ackman from the Ackman Group will be the chief examiner. Although this was mentioned before, I still wanted to remind all of you."

"Mr. Ackman is known for being strict. If any of you is caught cheating, your results would be null and void. I n fact, don't even dream of getting your graduation certificate."

The people below the stage whispered, "We still don’t know what’s the assessment?"

Principal Mason took a stern look around the crowd and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy." Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Secondly, there's going to be three questions for your assessment. Every question is set by Mr. Ackman himself with his full involvement throughout the assessment. So, your performance will be recorded by the Ackman Group and ranked according to your scores."

Anna looked at Liam who kept quiet the whole time, what was going on with him that day? He remained silent the whole time, was he sick?

He must have overworked himself and now his body was worn out!

The student beside her said softly, "Isn't Mr. Ackman busy? Why is he following us throughout the whole process?"

"It must be of great importance to him, quiet down and listen!"

"Thirdly, the assessment's content is unrelated to the specialization you’ve studied. The main reason is to train your soft skills, all of you need to be prepared."

The crowd exchanged looks with one another in confusion.

"What!?"

“Not related to our specialization? What are they trying to do now..."

At that moment, Anna was even more certain that Liam was coming for her!
