Chapter 168 I Don’t Want to Face Another Defeat 

Chapter 168 I Don’t Want to Face Another Defeat 

My comments only made Kate even more upset, especially since the had already felt embarrassed in front of me earlier. Now, she had found a way for Anna to step into the spotlight 

So, she spoke with a touch of assurance, “It seems Ms. Gardner is not happy with my daughter. If you have any concerns, why not join the competition yourself? 

1 silently grumbled to myself. How do you know I haven’t entered? 

Naturally, to you, even the Queen herself wouldn’t compare to your precious daughter. 

I smiled and replied, “Mrs. Sander, I think you’re misunderstanding me I’m simply a bit curious. Is Mi Sander really the ‘S? Could there have been some mix–up?” 

Out of nowhere, I rated doubts that no one had considered before. Anna shot me a sharp look. demanding. “What are you implying?” 

A brief flicker of panic flashed in her eyes. Only she knew Chloe’s secret, and now that I had openly challenged it. Anna felt a surge of guilt and unease. 

Since the moment I was reborn, she had been losing her grip on the situation. 

It is the unknown that people fear the most. 

I was determined to slowly dismantle her mental defenses! 

Kate immediately shielded her daughter, acting like a protective mother, and asked, “Ms. Gardner, what kind of grudge do you hold against our family? Why are you so obsessed with my daughter?” 

I calmly responded, “Mrs. Sander, please don’t overreact. Didn’t everyone see the competition registration form? There’s someone listed with the initial ‘S‘ participating, but Ms. Sander is competing under her real name. So’who exactly is this ‘S? 

The moment I spoke, everyone’s expressions changed, 

Fiona also turned to Anna, her eyes filled with confusion, and asked, “What’s going on here?” 

“What else could it be? Some people are clearly trying to exploit the situation, deliberately using my daughter’s name to trick others. Anna, I told you to compete under the initial “S” 

Anna shook her head and said, “It doesn’t matter. A fake can’t become real, and real can’t be fake. This is just someone trying to get attention online by using that name.” 

She was certain the other person was a fraud, believing it was impossible for anyone to use the name since Chloe was already dead. 

Sorry, I did die, but then I came back to life. 

If Anna were revealed as a fraud during the competition, the reactions of those at the Sanders would be quite entertaining. 

This was Anna’s key attempt to preserve her dignity.

I kept my composure and remarked, “The design of the ‘S looks totally different from what we’ve seen before. It’s likely just a coincidence that it shares the same initial” 

Despite this, Anna remained intrigued by the newly registered artwork 

Upon seeing the title, her eyes widened in shock. 

Kate also leaned forward for a better view, saying. “The title is New Beginni 

The entire painting was vibrant and full of color, a stark contrast to the earlier dark tone, making it unlikely to raise any doubts about me. 

True geniuses may reach a certain point, but they will never be trapped in a single style for long 

And I was the student who was considered exceptionally talented by the teacher, 

When I felt down, all my artworks reflected that, dark, Bolated, and sorrowful. 

Now that it’s a new beginning, it’s time for something different. 

Anna fixed her gaze on my latest artwork, her expression intense. 

She assumed submitting my artwork to the competition would secure her the top prize. What she didn’t anticipate was the rise of a new “S“. Even if it wasn’t Chloe, the talent was undeniable, making her feel 

uneasy. 

Fiona, unfamiliar with art, only cared about the benefits Anna’s fame could bring to the Hudsons. The identity of “S” didn’t matter to her in the slightest. 

“Alright, enough talking. Let’s go eat,” she said. 

Kate adjusted her expression and replied, “Yes, let’s wait and see how the competition turns out.” 

Auna headed to the restroom, and I trailed silently behind her. I overheard her making a phone call, murmuring. “I need you to investigate the origins of S 

But how could she possibly uncover the truth? This competition was a private event, not a global one, with no rules about revealing the participants‘ identities. Anyone could anonymously submit their artwork. 

At best, all she could obtain was a reference number. 

I quietly slipped away and returned to stand by Carter’s side. 

As I approached, he offered me a piece of nougat. He said, “Here, try this. It’s really good.” 

I took a bite, savoring the sweet and delightful flavor that felt as comforting as honey. 

“Carter, have you heard anything new about Anna lately I asked. 

He gave a helpless shrug. “Last time, I managed to catch her off guard, but now she’s switched phones and is more cautious when she goes out. I can’t get recordings as detailed as before.” 

Anna took a heavy hit last time, so it’s no 

rise she’s being extra cautious now.

“What’s wrong? Worried you can’t beat her?” 

“Not worried, but she’ll definitely start creating a buzz before the competition. 

I know Anna too well. She isn’t the type to sit around and accept failure. 

If she can’t locate this mysterious “S“, she’ll undoubtedly turn her focus on me instead. 

As expected, shortly after leaving the Hudson Residence, clips of me surfaced online. 

The video captured the moment I questioned Anna, “Is Ms. Sander truly S?” 

What was originally a global, open competition suddenly became a focal point for the netizens, who viewed S as the artist to represent the nation in the next round. Even before the event began, doubts were already being cast on me. 

Previously, the internet was already buzzing with heated discussions, and now all the criticism is directed at me and the mysterious “S” participant who has yet to make an appearance. 

A flood of people swarmed my social media, leaving behind a barrage of hateful comments. 

“Hey, Anna is hosting her own art exhibit. If she’s not S then are you? Do you not own a mirror or have any sense of reality? Take a good look at yourself” 

“If you think you’re so talented, why not enter the competition yourself? If you can’t, then just stop running your mouth.” 

“If Anna turns out not to be S, I’ll livestream myself splitting a coconut with my bare hands.”
