"That can't be possible. Mr. Anderson said that my chances were the same as Avery Sheen's. How could Matthew possibly not have heard my name? Could you ask again?" Annie was anxious. She felt as if she had been struck by lightning, because she could never imagine that Brady Anderson would set her up behind her back.
"I've asked very clearly. They have honestly never heard of your name. That's the absolute truth. I have to go now since my cousin is busy. I can't talk much longer."
"Cousin... Cousin, could you please find out exactly what happened? I really want to know the truth." Tears welled up in Annie's eyes, and she was very serious this time.
Upon hearing her sobs, her cousin felt distressed, but eventually promised to help: "Alright, alright. Tell me everything that happened, and I'll find out more for you later."
Annie took a moment to recount to her cousin everything that had happened over the past few days, including the "bullying" she had endured.
