Chloe held the torchlight in her hand and took a step closer to Anna. Her grin was especially smug and flamboyant.“Anna, why aren’t you opening your eyes? What are you hiding from?” Chloe said in a whispered tone. Her voice was brimming with excitement. “If Daddy was to find out about this, what do you think he’ll think of you? What do you think he’ll do?”“Find out about what? About you shining a torchlight into my eyes?” Anna’s lips curled up. Her expression did not reveal the slighted hint of panic.“I’ll tell him about how much your eyes hate the light and how you’ve faked your blindness all this while! I can’t believe you tricked your own family! You tricked Daddy! How could you do that while he sees you as his obedient and compassionate daughter!”Anna maintained her calm smile. “Did my eyes react to the light? That’s amazing news! I must go to the hospital and ask if this is a sign of me regaining vision soon!”“Anna, stop acting already! Do you dare to open your eyes?”
Anna annoyedly tossed her phone aside. She massaged her painful wrist and silently cursed Charles, calling him a lunatic and a pervert.A few seconds later, her phone chimed again. Anna could not hold back her curiosity. She grabbed her phone and saw that it was a text from Charles.Anna’s heart stopped. It was impossible to block his account!How odd!Charles:Anna sweated profusely. Was he asking about her blocking him or what?Why was that man so mysterious? It was as if every message he sent had a deeper meaning unfathomable to Anna.Charles waited but did not get a reply from Anna. He wisely predicted that she did not understand the meaning behind his text. Thus, he asked blatantly. When Anna saw this message, she yelped out of shock and threw her phone away.“Ah!”She quickly scanned her room. She was definitely alone, but why did she feel like a pair of eyes were staring at her the entire time?How freakishly terrifying!Charles:The hair on Anna’s body all sto
Bryan was starting to lose his cool when he heard that he might not be able to marry Anna.All the while, Anna had been his greatest hope at boosting his power and maintaining his status.Besides…He was already impatient to have that arrogant and aloof little lady. He constantly thought about the cold expression on her dainty face and the fairness and tenderness of the skin on her delicate body. His heart could not help but skip a beat when he thought of her receiving pleasure beneath his body.He must get that woman; he must have her yielding to him beneath his body.“Grandma, I’ve already been engaged to Anna for so long. Everyone knows about it already. If we don’t get married… The Dawson family will be criticized by everyone around. If that happens…”“Bryan, you’re being rash again! Right now, Anna is the one that suggested we delay the wedding. We are merely doing things according to her wishes.”“So you mean to say, we must let Anna call off the wedding?” Bryan asked anxi
“Anna, you look like you’re feeling much better today. You must be bored out of your mind these days. Let me take you out for some fresh air.”Bryan stood attentively around Anna, like a caring and affectionate fiance.Anna turned her head away slightly. She did not want to see Bryan running circles around her. “It’s quite nice in the house. I don’t feel like going out.”Chloe commented in a cute voice, “How can she be bored with us taking care of her! Right, Anna?”She did not want Bryan to take Anna out either!Anna’s lips curled up slightly. She gazed at Anna’s beautiful dainty face and said, “But it’ll be nice to go out for a stroll too.”Charles was right. Not every action could bring her luck, but taking no action would surely bring her no luck.It was time she made the first move instead of waiting to counter others’ attacks. Otherwise, she would be no different than a turtle hiding in its shell.“I’ll go with Anna!” Chloe offered hastily.Displeased, Bryan furrowed his
With the maids of the Dawson household busying themselves in the kitchen, the living room was empty, allowing Chloe to be bolder.Chloe placed her dainty hand on Bryan’s leg and slowly slid it upward, gently massaging his inner thigh.Bryan wanted to push her hand away, but at the same time, it felt so good. He held Anna’s hand with one hand while the other slithered around Chloe’s waist. Anna acted as if she could not see a thing. She clenched her fist so tightly that her knuckles turned white.She could see them stepping more and more out of line. Rage was about to burst out from her heart, yet she bottled it up deep within her.Aroused by Chloe’s seductive touch, Bryan gently rubbed her thigh with his large hand and squeezed her smooth and tender skin. Chloe could not help but let out a soft moan.“Ah…”Bryan immediately covered her mouth. His eyes darted toward her with a warning gaze.“What happened?”Anna asked, turning her head toward Chloe. Her stare made Chloe’s ches
In the dining hall of the Dawson family mansion.Naturally, Grandmother Dawson sat at the head of the table.As usual, Liam sat on the first seat to the left of Grandmother Dawson.Liam had taken over Bryan’s usual seat. Logically speaking, Bryan’s seat should be beside Liam’s, one rank below him in the family hierarchy.However, Bryan was too afraid of him. He hurriedly sat on the seat across Liam. Luckily, Amelia was not home that day. Otherwise, she surely would have mocked him about the seating positions.Needless to say, Anna’s seat would be next to Bryan’s while Chloe’s would be beside Anna’s.Anna was like a river separating Chloe and Bryan. Resentment welled up in Chloe’s heart and it became evident in her eyes.“Anna, what would you like to eat? I’ll take some for you,” Bryan offered in a tender and compassionate tone.Anna could feel the intense jealousy exuded by the sister beside her. She smiled and said, “I’d love anything that you put on my plate.”She felt reg
Anna raised her head and glanced at Liam, who was sitting opposite to her.She could not decipher the riddles bounced around between Liam and Grandmother Dawson.“Eat more.” Liam gestured at the food on her plate.Anna held back her urge to burp. She mumbled quietly, “Didn’t you come all the way here just to eat the food from the Dawsons’ kitchen? They prepared all this food for you, but I don’t see you eating much at all.”On the other hand, she had eaten quite a substantial amount of food. Her little belly was already bulging.Liam shot a glance at Anna. “It’s enough for me to fill you up.”Anna’s cheeks grew warm. Why did his words sound so disagreeable? Moreover, it was the kind that could easily be mistaken as an inappropriate innuendo!“What are you waiting for? Eat up,” Liam commanded coldly.The corner of Anna’s lips twitched. “I can’t eat anymore! Eat by yourself.”She stood up, wanting to leave. However, Liam stopped her.“Where are you going?”“The washroom!” She
When Grandmother Dawson found Bryan in the washroom, she did not say anything. Instead, she turned away and returned to the dining hall.In the dining hall, she flashed a kind smile at Anna. “Anna, I wanted to ask you to stay for a while, but something came up that requires my attention. I might have to go out…”Anna knew that Grandmother Dawson was asking her to leave. Before she could finish, Anna quickly smiled and replied.“Grandma, I still have to complete some exercises for my foreign language class. I shall be taking my leave now.” Anna yearned to escape from Liam as soon as possible. Otherwise, that pervert might come out with some sort of plan to devour her again.Hearing that, Bryan quickly offered, “Grandma, I’ll send Anna home.”He yearned to escape from Grandmother Dawson’s reproach. He thought that he could use Anna as a shield. Unexpectedly, Grandmother Dawson opposed it.“Let Liam send Anna home. Liam, would you mind sending your student home?” Grandmother Dawson
