Chapter 190
‘Annalise, you’re so despicable.” Gwen was furious. Annalise opened her bag. She took out a set of cosmetics and a hand towel. She said, “I was wrong to splash the makeup remover on you. This set of cosmetics is my way of apologizing…” Smack!
Gwen slapped away the cosmetics in Annalise’s hand. Her eyes were red. “Who cares about your cosmetics? Huh? Is my face worth as much as those cosmetic products? You ruined my face and pretended to act nice afterward. How can there be such a shameless bitch like you? You have the face of an angel but the mind of a demon.”
Annalise narrowed her eyes slightly. How did she ruin Gwen’s face? Was she a demon? She had only splashed some makeup remover. It was harmless to the skin. How did it ruin Gwen’s face? And who was the innocent-looking demon? She sincerely offered Gwen that set of cosmetics.
But since it was confirmed that Gwen had acne on her face, there was no need for Annalise to be ruthless. After all, her team had won the bet between the modern and traditional medicine teams. She had offered Gwen those cosmetics to give her a way out. But in the end, Gwen did not appreciate it. Annalise bent down to pick up the cosmetics. When Gwen saw Annalise picking up the cosmetics, she sneered. “How petty. You live surrounded by many creature comforts, but you can’t let go of a few cosmetic products.”
Annalise found that funny. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a drawn-out tone, “Ms. Raven, it’s fine if you don’t want it. There’s no need to throw such a big tantrum. However, I understand that since you have a hyperactive liver, you might lose your temper on occasion. Ms. Raven, if you trust us, I can take your pulse and give you a prescription to reduce your liver activity… And I won’t charge you.”
“Are you crazy?” Gwen cursed again and quickly ran away. Earlier, she was in a fit of anger and spoke without thinking. She had wished she could tear Annalise apart. But now that Gwen had calmed down, she grew increasingly anxious. She was afraid that Julian would treat her like how he treated Abigail.
She had called Annalise crazy before quickly running away to touch up her makeup. Besides, she had to think carefully. Was there any way to salvage this bet? If there was not, how would she explain it to Leo? When Mina saw what had happened, she could not help but burst out in laughter. She liked Annalise’s personality.
Annalise was efficient, straightforward, and savage. Even without Annalise’s excellent medical skills, Mina loved her personality above all else. “Hey, Anna.” Mina took the initiative to greet Annalise. “Hello.” Annalise nodded at Mina. Anna, did you study modern or traditional medicine under Professor Woods?” Mina asked.
“I’ve studied a little of both,” Annalise said. “Oh, I see. Will Professor Woods be joining us today?” Mina asked again. Mina had half a mind to change her major and study traditional medicine instead. I think he would,” Annalise said.
“I see. Alright, please go ahead, then,” Mina said immediately when she saw Julian waiting for Annalise. “Okay.” Annalise walked over to Julian’s side. Mina immediately went over when she saw Leo looking at her with an ugly expression. He was the first speaker of their modern medicine team. “Was there acne on Gwen’s face?” Leo asked Mina. “Yeah. Look at this.” Mina took out her phone.
She had taken a photo of Gwen’s face while watching the commotion, so the acne looked obvious. Leo’s expression suddenly turned cold. “I shouldn’t have trusted her.” “It’s too late now.” Mina spread her hands. Leo’s expression became even more terrible. In the washroom… Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Gwen did not have any spare clothes to change into. She wiped the makeup remover on her clothes, washed her face, and took out her cosmetics to reapply her makeup. When she was putting on her makeup, she suddenly thought that since her makeup was so flawless, as long as she refused to admit that she had acne, what could Annalise do to her? How could she give Annalise another chance to splash that makeup remover on her?
Gwen took out a flask from her bag. It was filled with concentrated herbal tea. She took a few more gulps. Perhaps her acne would disappear after a few more hours. At that time, she would take the initiative to remove her makeup and make Annalise unable to defend herself.
Forget it, Gwen thought. She decided to put on her makeup first and deal with it when the time came. After half an hour of carefully putting on her makeup, she looked at herself in the mirror again and again. At last, she looked flawless. She took her bag and left the washroom. “Ms. Raven, we’ve been waiting for you a long time.” Annalise raised her eyebrows when she saw Gwen.
“Let’s move on to the next item on the agenda. Yesterday’s debate between traditional and modern medicine has ended. And today, we should focus on the next agenda. Treating patients,” Gwen said.
Annalise chuckled. “There must be a beginning and an end to everything. Yesterday’s debate between our teams has indeed ended. However, the outcome is determined by our bet today. Ms. Raven, you can now announce that the traditional medicine team has won.” “Ms. Barton, do you see any acne on my face?” Gwen raised her face.
Gwen had already thought it through. In a while, she would announce to the public that Annalise had schemed against her. Not only had Annalise splashed makeup remover on her, but she had also smeared two red marks on Gwen’s face and said they were pimples.
Mina rushed over. “Gwen, you have to be honest. What’s the point of doing this? There was acne when you removed your makeup, but you’re refuting it now. Why? Are you going to have everyone tell you to remove it again? Isn’t repeating the same thing tiring? Can we not resort to such pointless things?” Gwen was speechless. She lowered her voice, forcing herself to speak through gritted teeth. “Whose side are you on?” “I’m on the side of justice,” Mina said. Gwen said nothing. She only thought, “Fuck you, retard.”
At first, Mina had agreed to go against Annalise. However, not only did Mina not oppose Annalise, but she also dragged Gwen down. Mina continued, “Gwen, a bet is a bet, after all. Let’s admit that we’ve lost…” “I didn’t lose…” “Gwen, we have to be truthful. Many of us saw the pimples on your face after your makeup was removed.” “When did I get pimples?”
“Here. I’ve taken pictures of everything.” Mina took out her phone. Then, Mina showed her phone to everyone. Everyone was unwilling to look at her phone. They started discussing among themselves. “That’s so pointless.” “Exactly. She’s not honest at all.”
“Don’t bet if you can’t afford to lose. Did I say anything after losing my 7.5 million dollars? How disgusting.” Everyone fell silent afterward. Gwen frowned. She wanted to say that this was just a bet between her and Annalise. It did not count as anything else. However, Gwen knew that her earlier actions were shameful. She had already fallen from grace.
She could only seek her revenge during the competition later on when they would start treating the patients. Thinking of this, she said to Annalise disdainfully, “Yes, I have acne. Your team has won this bet, and the points will be yours. We can move on to the next agenda and start treating our patients.” “Ms. Raven, before that, please use the microphone to tell everyone that the modern medicine team has lost yesterday’s bet,” said Annalise.
