Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 72

Marvin pretended not to hear Ashton’s flattery; it was just too insincere.

“The public lecture starts at eight in the morning and ends at ten. Of course, if there are any special circumstances, it can also end early, depending on when Briar completes the assignment,” Marvin said, becoming serious as he discussed the matter.

He took a sip of coffee and asked earnestly, “Ashton, how confident do you think Briar is about passing this public lecture?”

Ashton’s voice was steady. “Briar says she’s one hundred percent confident.”

Marvin was taken aback for a moment. ‘I don’t ask about Briar’s confidence?‘ he wondered.

But before Marvin could inquire further, the TV screen on the wall lit up. It was 7:55, and the public lecture was about to begin.

On the screen, Briar was already there, propping her chin up with her hand as she sat alone in the classroom designated for the public lecture. Several cameras were set up in front of her, ensuring that every move Briar made would be captured from all angles once the lecture

began.

Even with the cameras right in her face, Briar’s beauty remained unmarred.

She was truly stunning. Even with a blank expression, even with a hint of defiance and arrogance in her eyes, and even with her casual posture that seemed more at home than in a formal setting, Briar’s natural beauty shone through.

Joshua was the first to speak. “Briar, a freshman in the Traditional Medicine Department, the public lecture is set to begin in two minutes. Are you ready?”

Briar sat up straight, still indifferent, and nodded faintly in response.
