For more than two years, Anna Foster had been provoking and picking on her without restraint, and Olivia Parker had always ignored her, letting her be. But after hearing her second sentence, Olivia Parker finally wiped away the hot tears on her face, took one last look at William Carter on the playground, and slowly turned her head.

Her limpid eyes were tinged with red, but her cold gaze stared indifferently at Anna Foster, making Anna Foster feel a wave of fear in her heart.

“I’m telling you all, my brother is not a loser!”

Her voice was like an oriole singing among willows—cold as ice, yet filled with undeniable confidence!

Chapter 009 The Bet (Part 1)

When Charles Evans saw Olivia Parker turn her head, and finally saw her delicate, tear-stained face from the front, his pupils contracted and his breath caught instantly!

The fresh, ethereal beauty of Olivia Parker, like a mountain after rain, was something neither the stunningly gorgeous Grace Brooks nor the flirtatious and brazen Anna Foster could possess!

This was precisely the biggest reason why Olivia Parker could attract Charles Evans so madly, making him determined not to give up until he won her over!

Charles Evans quickly concealed the greed in his eyes, and in the blink of an eye replaced it with a warm, caring smile as he said to Olivia Parker, “Lingyu, what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Anna isn’t very good with words, don’t take it to heart…”

His attempt to please her was obvious.

Anna Foster had originally hoped Charles Evans would back her up and say a few words against Olivia Parker. But seeing Charles Evans say this, she immediately snorted in anger and pulled her arm out of Charles Evans’s.

“Hmph, so that fool is your brother? Sorry, I never knew!”

No matter what, Anna Foster had achieved her goal of hurting Olivia Parker, and she was quite pleased with herself. She deliberately lifted her chin at Olivia Parker, her face caked with foundation showing a look that begged for a slap, and said indifferently.

“Anna Foster, I’ve never wanted to go against you. Don’t think that just because I’m Olivia Parker I’m afraid of you! I’ll say it again: my brother is not a loser. Please show some respect from now on!”

Anna Foster looked utterly disdainful and mocked, “Your brother isn’t a loser? Didn’t your brother come in dead last again this time? Isn’t your brother beaten up every day? Laughed at every day? And he still wants to chase after Grace Brooks? He should take a look at himself in the mirror! If that’s not a loser, I don’t know what is!”

Anna Foster pressed her advantage relentlessly, repeating “your brother” over and over, not even bothering to use William Carter’s name. Clearly, she had finally found Olivia Parker’s weakness and was mocking her to the extreme.

Olivia Parker was so angry she could hardly speak: “You!…” She wanted to defend William Carter, but had no way to refute.

Because this time, Anna Foster had truly hit her sore spot, leaving her with nothing to say.

“All right, all right, Anna Foster, that’s enough. We’re all classmates, you should consider Lingyu’s feelings too…”

Charles Evans saw that the other classmates were gathering around with unfriendly expressions, afraid that Anna Foster would provoke everyone’s anger, so he hurried to intervene.

Although Olivia Parker came from a poor family, she studied very hard, and her looks went without saying. As the class study monitor, she was always eager to help classmates who struggled academically, so she was very well-liked and respected in Class 1, Grade 12.

You could say that Olivia Parker was the dream girl in the hearts of most boys in Class 1, Grade 12. Seeing her being viciously attacked by Anna Foster now, they were all visibly displeased.

But Anna Foster didn’t see it that way. Relying on her family’s wealth and convinced that her charm was second to none, she figured these classmates wouldn’t dare touch her, so she became even more arrogant.

“Charles Evans, are you my boyfriend or hers? Are you helping me or her? What’s wrong with me saying her brother is a loser! Hmph, loser, toad!”

Olivia Parker’s eyes turned red with anger. She bit her lower lip hard, her breathing rapid, her delicate body trembling violently. She raised her hand and pointed at the arrogant Anna Foster, so furious she couldn’t even speak!

Seeing Olivia Parker so upset, Charles Evans actually felt a twisted pleasure inside. “Hmph, you pretend to be a saint with me. If I didn’t want you to fall for me completely, I’d have had my way with ten girls like you already!”

But on the surface, Charles Evans still wore a look of concern for Olivia Parker and helplessness toward Anna Foster. He frowned in feigned distress and was about to speak, when suddenly a commotion erupted from next door in Class 2, Grade 12!

“Place your bets! Place your bets! The little gambling god Robert King is the banker—bet on how many laps that fatso can run! One lap pays double, two laps pays triple… five to ten laps pays five times, more than ten laps pays twenty times! If you guess wrong, you lose, no refunds!”

The “little gambling god” of Class 2, Grade 12, Robert King, son of the deputy chief of the Qingshui City Public Security Bureau, one of the four notorious troublemakers at Qingshui No. 1 High School, was a born gambler, especially idolizing Chow Yun-fat’s God of Gamblers, and called himself the little gambling god.

Since entering high school, he had bet on almost every possible contest!

Including all kinds of test scores, the winners of the school sports meet, soccer and basketball games between classes—if it could be bet on, he’d bet on it!

This guy was tall and strong, wore a floral shirt and jeans, sported the flowing hairstyle of Chan Ho-nam from Young and Dangerous, and was wild and unruly by nature. Although he skipped class to go online, fought, gambled, and chased girls, he rarely bullied the weak.
