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
Terrified, Anna quickly stopped James from leaving the car.“No, don’t go! What fresh air do you need! It’s not like the car is stuffy! Let’s leave right now. I want to go home.”James turned to Liam, then to Anna. In his heart, he lamented being caught in the tug of war between those two.It was a difficult position to be caught in the middle of them!One of his long legs had already stepped outside the car door. At that moment, he had no idea if he should leave or stay.“What are you thinking about?” Liam asked Anna again.He yearned to know what was in that tiny head of hers!Anna covered her face awkwardly. There was no way she would tell him she was thinking about the wild ‘exercise’ they did in the car last time. It would embarrass her to no end! She quickly composed herself and gazed at Liam with a serious face. She spoke in a deep tone.“You’re the one behind today’s incident, aren’t you?”“What incident?”“Don’t act dumb! You know more about it than me!” Anna rolled
That time, Daniel was truly enraged.Chloe had wronged Grandmother Dawson. Moreover, Daniel’s ability to control his own daughter had been insulted. It felt like a slap to the face!Chloe cried for a long time. Even so, it did not evoke a hint of sympathy in Daniel. In fact, he was growing more and more annoyed by her.Seeing that Daniel’s fury was real, Nicole did not dare to say a word either. She could only cast a worried glance at Chloe.Anna’s expression was aloof. She silently watched as Chloe bawled her eyes out. She suddenly felt like Liam deserved a thumbs up. Every move he made always dealt astronomical damage. As expected of a god!Anna returned to her room with Lisa’s help. She glanced at the black wristband on her wrist. To her surprise, there were no messages from Charles.In the end, she had no idea why that wealthy brat made her go to the Dawson family mansion.A while later, Chloe burst into her room, just as Anna had expected. Chloe pointed at her with a fierce
When Bryan noticed Anna’s arrival, he quickly took over from the waiter and personally helped Anna to the table he had reserved.“Anna, you look so beautiful today.” Bryan gazed at Anna with affectionate eyes. Anna smiled silently. Bryan was a huge liar. She did not put on any makeup and came out in her casual clothes that day, yet he could still spit out the words ‘you look so beautiful today’.The people dining beside them turned to Bryan and Anna with glances of admiration.“Quick, look! It’s the eldest daughter of the Hamilton family and the son of the Dawsons.”“I heard that Ms. Hamilton’s eyes have not healed completely yet. From the looks of it, her injury must be serious. She even needs someone to guide her.”“She can’t have turned blind, right?”“Nonsense! The Lincoln Group is so wealthy! There’s no way they would let their successor, the future CEO of their company, turn blind!”Like an elegant gentleman, Bryan cut Anna’s steak for her and even personally fed the cut
Bryan’s expression turned dark. He yearned to push Chloe away, yet he did not dare to make any large movements. He was afraid that Anna might notice something.From the beginning to the end, Bryan did not even glance at Chloe. Finally, Chloe got mad.“Bryan, do you hate me? If so, I better leave.”Bryan wanted nothing more than for Chloe to leave. “Chloe, if you’re bored, why don’t you go shopping? I can stay here and take care of Anna.“Rest assured that I will take good care of Anna. You have nothing to worry about.”“Anna! Do you hear what Bryan is saying! Are you shunning me for being the third wheel?” Chloe’s eyes turned bloodshot with rage.The moment Chloe mentioned the third wheel, Anna was reminded of Liam.Once, she had come to Maison’s for a date with Bryan too. Throughout the entire meal, Liam was the third wheel. Even so, he did not feel out of place at all. In fact, he acted as if he was the main man at the table.She subconsciously stroked the black wristband on
Chloe rushed toward Bryan and hugged him.“Bryan, don’t leave me! I love you... I wouldn’t be able to live without you, Bryan!” Chloe’s tears soaked the silk shirt Bryan wore, she was choked up and her soft voice made it hard not to feel affectionate toward her. Bryan felt a little soft-hearted but it was only for a fleeting moment.“Chloe, I’ve said this before, you have to pull yourself together. Do you know the consequences now that Grandma knows about this?” Chloe shook her head incessantly. “Bryan, all I know is that I love you and I can’t leave you! You’re everything to me, there’s really no way for me to live without you...” “Bryan, I’ll follow everything you say, but you mustn’t leave me!”“No matter how long you wait for me, I’ll wait. As long as you won’t leave me...” said Chloe as she cried.Bryan slowly turned around as he wanted to wipe the tears off Chloe’s face. However, she immediately lunged forward and kissed him. Bryan was taken aback, he then hugged Ch
Anna was a little confused. What was Charles talking about?What gift? What did he mean by my “little lady”? What was I supposed to be satisfied with?His tone and the way he used the word “little lady”, why did it sound like Liam?However, would Liam be so bored as to create a WhatsApp account and contact her occasionally? He even spent a lot of money for her in the group chat.She felt that Liam would not have the free time to do such things, nor the energy to put in such effort to make her happy.Although Anna disliked Charles for appearing and disappearing out of nowhere, the lucky draws he hosted in the group chat managed to stop her schoolmates from gossiping about her. As the saying goes, there was no such thing as a free lunch. There was also that time when people were gossipping about her in the group chat and Charles wanted to report them as accomplices to a scam. That completely shocked all the students in the school.Daniel gave Chloe a call after he brought Ann
Chloe had just arrived home when she heard Daniel yell. “Chloe, get over here!”Chloe was completely stiff as she hastily looked toward Nicole who winked at her. She felt her heart drop as her legs started to tremble.Chloe cautiously walked closer and saw Daniel standing in the living room with a sullen look on his face.“Daddy…”“Don’t call me Daddy, I don’t have a daughter like you!”Chloe’s eyes suddenly turned red and her voice was choked up as she spoke softly. “Daddy… What did I do? How could you say something like that…”“What’s going on between you and Bryan!” growled Daniel furiously.Chloe’s body trembled all over as she looked toward Nicole for help.Nicole quickly chimed in, “Danny, please calm down, you’ll frighten Chloe like this...”“Frighten her? I think she has a lot of guts! Didn’t it occur to you to be afraid when you had a tryst with your sister’s fiance in the restroom! It turns out that I was the one frightened by him instead!”Daniel grabbed a cup an
