Chapter 252 Excuses!
Everyone looked towards Anna.
"Anna Hamilton is pretty daring; how could she sell the sample? That''s considered cheating! She’ll
be kicked out!"
"She''s also taking a risk, what if it doesn''t sell? Then she can''t earn a single cent!"
"Anna Hamilton is the sessor of the Lincoln Group, their main businesses lie in advertising and
entertainment. Which advertisingpany wouldn''t give her some extra leeway? With a word,
many of them would give her their money willingly and buy her samples."
"No wonder she earned so much money.”
"Even so, she''s the top of the ss, our designs are nothingpared to hers!"
"It''s still cheating!"
Many of her ssmates started to look at her disdainfully, requesting for Olivia Finch to punish Anna
and Nina.
Olivia nced towards Anna, "Hamilton, did you cheat?"
Anna frowned, "What''s considered cheating?"
The crowd was silent for a moment and then burst into roaringughter, "She doesn’t even know
what''s considered cheating, that’s just ridiculous!”
"What a weighty exnation!"
Anna nced at Jennifer, and said loudly, "The design sample I made for the advertisingpany
is a brand-new proposal, I did not sell my sample."
"Who would believe you?" Jennifer scoffed, "Anna Hamilton, cheating is still cheating! No matter
how you try to phrase it, you still cheated!"
"Do you have any evidence?" Anna questioned her instead.
"The fact that you sold the samples is all the evidence I need!"
"Do you have any evidence?" Anna continued.
"...what evidence?" Jennifer was slightly confused.
"The evidence that I sold the samples.”
"The fact that you sold the samples is all the best evidence!"
"You need to produce evidence to prove that I sold the samples, right?"
Everyone nced towards Jennifer, "That''s right! Jennifer, show us some evidence, so we can be
convinced."

Jennifer was furious, "Anna, if you didn’t sell the samples that you made in school, how could you
write a new proposal within two days and sell it for 300,000 dors with Nina!
You both definitely sold the samples you had in school! I have eyewitnesses who saw Nina running
back to school to take the USB sh drive, and you published the advertisement online!"
Nina was growing scared now.
She didn''t expect Jennifer would use the fact that they sold the samples against them. If they looked
into the assessment rules, it seemed like their actions did indeed constitute cheating.
"The assessment rules are clear, to use nothing but the 100 dors as principal, and yet you sold
the samples you designed previously, to make a profit and perform well in the assessment. And you
insist that''s not cheating?" Jennifer was firm in her words.
"Ms. Finch, we didn''t cheat..." Nina looked panicked.
Anna patted her shoulder lightly, and used her eyes to convey her message, ''Don''t worry''. She said
firmly, "If I intend to use my professional knowledge to earn me a living, I have to use my work to
prove my skills, only then will I be epted by an advertisingpany! I published an
advertisement online to search for employment, how is that considered cheating?"
"Excuses! Those are just excuses! I heard you approached the advertisingpany to sell your
samples and not gain employment!" Jennifer started screaming.
"Bring us the person who gave you all this information, so we can ask him face to face!" Anna
stepped forward, gaze fixed on Jennifer.
Jennifer knew everything she did, could it be she had someone following her?
Jennifer looked guilty and avoided Anna’s gaze, "The truth is the truth! There''s no need for any
further questioning!"
"Without proving it through questioning, it''s nothing but empty rumors!"
Anna had long been suspicious of Jennifer, it didn''t seem like her to openly take a bet against her, it
wasn’t how she would usually act.
Even though the past few years in university, she had been enemies with Jennifer, this was the first
time she had made such a confident deration of war.
Anna couldn''t help but feel suspicious of her.
"Anna, you cheated! Don''t try to exin anymore! Ms. Finch, I do not ept the results of this
assessment!
I don’t believe Anna can earn so much money within three days and get awarded points for a good
performance! She must have hidden some trick up her sleeve!"
Nina rushed towards Jennifer angrily, "Jennifer! You don''t have evidence so don''t spout nonsense
like this!"
"I’m not talking nonsense; I''m just telling everyone the truth!"
"We didn’t sell the samples! If you don''t believe us, you can investigate yourself!"
"Investigate? You already sold your proposal, it’s considered a business secret now, how can I
investigate?" Jennifer still looked confident as a birdmitting itself to the air as if she knew
everything.
Anna scrunched her brows together, could it be Jennifer had some insider information?
It didn’t matter, her results in this assessment were purely the fruits of her ownbor. She didn’t feel
it was wrong of her to ept the 150,000 dors as payment.
"Anna Hamilton! I''ll tell you onest time, the rules of the assessment are that you should only use
the 100 dors as principal to earn a profit, and not use your professional knowledge to do so! If
that’s eptable, all of us here are design majors, we can earn tons of money!" Jennifer kept
hammering on.
Her ssmates felt Jennifer was right, "If that was eptable, we wouldn’t lose so badly!"
"Exactly! If one of our designs were bought by an advertisingpany, we could definitely earn
more for our designs!"
"So, it seems like Anna Hamilton did cheat." "Jennifer, you''re just harping on the terms!" Nina was s
o angry, herplexion turned pale.
"So what? I can’t stand to see cheaters like you win the first ce! Ms. Finch, you have to punish
them ordingly, dere their results invalid!" Jennifer stood firm, not willing to let the issue go.
If she could bring down Anna and her 150,000 dors, she would ce first again in this
assessment.
cing first in two rounds of assessments out of three, she would be the champion!
Everyone started to reprimand Anna, saying that she didn’t deserve to be at the top of the ss.
She was nothing but a bookworm, useless when it came to the actual world. It was her fault they
lost all their money.
Anna was stuck too, even though she wouldn’t admit she cheated, but under Jennifer’s relentless
questioning, she was at a loss on how to exin herself.
Moreover, thinking about it carefully, her approach was indeed simr to cheating. Although the final
design was a brand-new idea, she did use the original sample.
Nina was growing listless, she whispered to Anna, "We epted too much of the reward, otherwise
she wouldn''t be jealous of us!
Don''t tell me Mr. Ackman is trying to y you for a fool again!"
Anna shook her head, she didn''t know what ideas he had in his dark, little mind.
"There''s no free lunch in this world. Sigh, it seems like we were yed like fools again!" Anna
sighed.
"What’s wrong with Mr. Ackman? Every time it looks like he’s helping you but in the end, it causes
you nothing but trouble. And they say women are hard to read, he''s the worst!"
"Because he''s an asshole!"
"Ms. Finch! I beg you to punish Anna Hamilton!" Jennifer shouted.
Olivia nced at Anna, "Hamilton, do you have anything else to add?"
Anna shook her head, "I still don’t admit I cheated!"
"Alright then, we''ll let your ssmates vote and decide. Those who think Anna Hamilton cheated,
please raise your hands.” Olivia said strictly.
Unexpectedly, more than half of her ssmates raised their hands.
Anna looked defeated.
Jennifer stretched her neck as high up as possible and looked down on Anna gleefully. "Anna
Hamilton, you lost! 50 million dors, one year as my ve, when are you going to fulfill your
promise?"
At this moment, Anna''s phone rang.
She lowered her head and took a nce, in an instant, her eyes brightened, and she dered
loudly, "Ms. Finch, I think Jennifer cheated too!"
Once again, the crowd was thrown into a frenzy.
