Chapter 50 Heaven and Hell
Chapter 50 Heaven and Hell
Principal Mason saw that Liam had spoken up to end the meeting and rushed to add a sentence. "Everyone leave now to prepare for this. We'll inform you about the schedule for the internship at a later date. You're all dismissed!"
Anna was forced to stay behind. As everyone left, they all looked at Anna as though they wanted to stab her t o death right there and then. This was especially true o f the female students.
Some of the students were happy to see her potential downfall.
"Ha, she was hoping to butter him up but now that she's offended him, she’s dead meat.”
"Oh, I wish I could stay behind to see how bad it's going to be for her."
"Shut up! It's her strategy. She did such a surprising thing to get Mr. Ackman's attention."
Several of the female students started laughing. "Do you really think that Mr. Ackman won't be able to see through her little trick?"
"Even if she stripped naked, Mr. Ackman wouldn't be interested in her. After all, he's gay!"
Nina looked at Anna worriedly. "Anna... will Mr.
Ackman give you a hard time now that he’s asked you
to stay behind?
"I... I don't think so." Anna felt Liam's fierce, cold gaze o n her and could not help but shiver.
"We should just leave together, Anna. You shouldn’t stay behind." Nina grabbed Anna's hand and gently tugged at it.
'Leave? If Liam let her leave so easily, he wouldn't be Liam Ackman anymore!' thought Anna.
"Nina, you should head back first. He's a big CEO and now he's also a tutor at the university. He won't do anything untoward to me. I think... I think he’ll just tell me off slightly."
Nina was still extremely worried.
"Hurry back, Nina. I'll be alright.”
"In that case, be careful. Don't be too impulsive." Nina entreated Anna to be careful then turned to look at Liam who was standing at a distance.
Even though she could not see the expression on his face clearly, she could sense the imperious aura emanating from his body. Nina walked out with the rest of the students when Jennifer suddenly blocked her.
"Anna is really shameless! Now that she's had plastic surgery, she goes around seducing men everywhere.” 1
"Anna did not get plastic surgery!" Nina gave Jennifer the side-eye.
"Hurry back and tell Anna that the position of first place in this internship is mine! Tell her to stop using these underhanded tactics to approach Mr. Ackman!"
Nina scoffed. "You should take a good look at yourself. You won’t stand a chance against Anna in competing for first place!"
Anna was the top scholar in all subjects. No one had managed to surpass her academic performance yet.
"Jennifer, not everyone gets to be called the top student!"
The expression on Jennifer's pretty face changed. " You poor peasant! How dare you talk back to me like this! I'm going to make sure that Anna loses tragically!"
"Miss Wurst, please have some self-awareness! You shouldn't be too confident when you make grand declarations, just in case you might be forced to eat your words." Nina scoffed and left in a huff.
Jennifer clenched her fists tightly and shrieked, "This time, I won't lose!"
Jennifer looked in Liam's direction and played with her long, wavy red hair as she smiled flirtatiously at him. She had fallen for that powerful man.
The only way that she would get a chance to get closer to him would be to get into the Ackman Group. She believed that she could turn him straight! In her world, no man would not fall at her feet!
However, Liam's gaze was still fixed on Anna. It was like Anna was the only person in his eyes. Jennifer was so infuriated that she gritted her teeth secretly." Anna, just you wait!"
The huge auditorium slowly emptied. Liam slowly walked towards Anna. He walked down the steps with a graceful, elegant gait.
Anna felt her heart beat faster and faster while her legs trembled. She was angry at her own failure. She clenched her fists forcefully, took a deep breath in, and straightened her spine.
Her mind was working at high speed to come up with a plan. However, she knew that this unreasonable Ackman prince was extremely calculative. How could he let her get off easily?
Liam came to stand before Anna. His dark shadow completely enveloped her slender figure. Anna raised her head slightly to look at him.
She saw the teasing and provocative look in his eyes and felt her knees go weak. If it were not for the support of the seat behind her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Only a few seconds passed as he looked at her. However, it felt like an eternity.
Liam finally opened his mouth to speak. His magnetic voice echoed slightly in the auditorium.
"Was it really funny?" "No... It wasn't funny." Anna rearranged her face and put on an extremely serious and proper expression.
Liam cocked an eyebrow as he continued to stare at her unblinkingly. His gaze was brazen and piercing. H e looked as though he could see through the clothes that she was wearing right down to her bones.
"What... What are you looking at!" stammered Anna in a panic.
The corner of Liam's mouth curved slightly. He drawled in his deep, husky voice. "Tell me what you think I'm looking at..."
As he spoke, his gaze landed upon Anna's impressive bosom. Anna quickly shielded herself. She wished she could gorge his eyeball out.
In the auditorium, even though all the students had left, Principal Mason and all the upper management of the university were still there. Anna did not dare to act too presumptuously.
She could only mouth out the words, "I'll bite you!" to threaten Liam. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Liam raised his eyebrow and smiled sinisterly. "Good.” a H
Anna felt her whole body heat up involuntarily. She wished that she could pounce on him and viciously bite him to vent her anger.
Liam turned to leave.
Anna was in shock. Was he going to let her off like
that?
Thank goodness!
Anna was so happy that she clapped internally. She waited until Principal Mason and the upper management of the university had finished escorting Liam respectfully to the door before she turned to leave quickly.
"Anna Hamilton.” Principal Mason's voice called out from behind her.
Anna’s footsteps froze in place suddenly. She had a bad feeling about this.
Principal Mason's old, wavering voice continued to speak behind her. "Mr. Ackman is waiting for you at the office on the sixth floor. Hurry over there right now."
U H
She had fallen from heaven down to hell in an instant.
Liam Ackman was a demon. How could he have let her off so easily!? She was too naive!
Principal Mason chuckled as he walked over. He assessed Anna from top to toe then said. "Not bad. Not bad at all."
Anna erupted in a cold sweat. When she saw Principal Mason's meaningful smile, she instantly broke out in goosebumps.
What did Principal Masons 'not bad’ mean?
"Hurry up. Don't keep Mr. Ackman waiting for too long. He's now the largest shareholder of our university. We can't afford to offend him! Mr. Ackman will play a huge part in whether you're able to graduate or not!"
Anna immediately felt immense regret for her impetuous actions. When did that fellow become the largest shareholder of the University of Johannes? The Dawson family was supposed to be the largest shareholder of the university!
She dragged her heavy feet and climbed up to the office on the sixth floor. She stood outside the office door and found that she did not dare to push open the tightly shut door.
If she entered, that would be like stepping into a trap o n her own accord, like a lamb serving itself up to a tiger.
She hesitated as she wondered if she should turn around and run away. After all, there was no one holding a knife to her neck. Did she really need to go i n?
Just as she was about to turn around and escape, Liam’s deep, husky voice rang out from inside the office.
"Hurry up and get in here!"
