Built His Empire Then Watched It Burn When He Cheated novel Chapter 700

Pepper and Gianna twisted the story and accused Anneliese first. Once the crowd heard their version of events, they immediately looked at Anneliese with disdainful, condemning expressions and murmured among themselves.

Pepper shot a look at the staff, signaling them to hurry up and clear Anneliese out to restore order.

The staff quickly stepped forward and spoke harshly to Anneliese.

"If the system doesn't have your information, then you're not registered! Making a scene won't change anything, and you definitely don't get to steal someone else's competition spot. Leave immediately, or we'll call security to remove you by force!"

Hearing even the staff say this, the crowd became even more convinced that Gianna and Pepper were telling the truth.

Looking at Anneliese's strikingly beautiful face, people began to assume she was the type who used her looks to charm professors and steal opportunities.

They just assumed that she had failed to even complete her registration properly and was now throwing her weight around to take someone else's place!

…

Listening to the criticism aimed at Anneliese, Gianna felt like the sting on her face mattered less. She watched Anneliese coldly, waiting for her to leave in humiliation.

Instead, Anneliese showed no panic and remained calm as she took a large step toward the crowd.

A sudden sense of unease hit Gianna, and Pepper reacted even faster.

She couldn't let Anneliese speak.

Pepper snapped at the stunned staff, "What are you standing around for? Are you waiting for her to lie and disrupt the competition?"

Unfortunately, she was still too late.

Before the staff could drag Anneliese away, Anneliese's clear voice rang out.

She pointed straight at Gianna. "Let me introduce her to everyone. She is Gianna Malone, the heiress of CM Logistics, one of the two main sponsors of this competition.

"Ms. Malone personally admitted that she canceled my competition eligibility on purpose. That's why I finally lost my patience and slapped her."

The crowd exploded.

All the looks of disdain and condemnation that had been aimed at Anneliese instantly turned toward Gianna.

Compared to one contestant being barred from competing, someone openly abusing power and rigging the rules in a national-level competition was far more shocking and infuriating.

Anneliese was not afraid of escalation.

Media reporters, participants, and influential figures were all present.

If Gianna dared to pull something like this, then Anneliese would make sure she became famous for it.

Gianna was still aiming for first place. Even if she won now, the doubts would be even louder. D*mn you, Anneliese.
