Anna and Nina had a lot of fun at Jamie’s bar.Jamie took out a set of tarot cards then Anna and Nina each drew one.“Little Annie’s card says that true love is by your side, you must cherish the people around you and not miss out on your blessed marriage,” explained Jamie.“Tch! Bullsh*t!” Anna threw away the card in her hand.“Quick, look at mine, look at mine!” urged Nina eagerly.“Your card says that you still need some time to meet your true love! You won’t have much luck in love recently, and even if you do, it’ll only be short-lived.”Nina rested her cheeks against her hands. “I hope I can meet a man as handsome as Mr. Ackman!”Anna side-eyed Nina. “You like guys like him?”Nina drunkenly nodded her head.Anna was instantly shocked. “What!? You like Liam!?”“What are you talking about?” Nina pushed her tarot card to Anna. “I said I like his type, not him! I would never compete with you.”Anna suddenly blushed. “What nonsense are you saying! What… What do you mean comp
Anna stared ahead blankly.She was still a blind person to the public. She acted as if she did not see the sneering look on their faces.“Jennifer, what do you mean by that?” Anna put up a face of ignorance.Jennifer immediately burst into laughter. “Oh my God! Ms. Hamilton, don’t tell me you still don’t know that your sister is pregnant with your fiance’s child?”Jennifer raised her voice loudly as if she was worried that the students around her could not hear her as she laughed and gloated over Anna’s misfortune.“What did you say?”Anna instantly went pale, and her voice could not be restrained from trembling.Everyone’s laughter became even louder.“Anna really is the dumbest woman in this world!”“The entire Johannes City knows that her sister and Bryan had an affair, and yet she doesn’t know anything!”“You think you’re so high and mighty, so smart. And yet you still don’t know that your sister is pregnant with your fiance’s child!”“Geeky Anna studied till she became
Anna followed Liam into the counselor’s office.Nina was left outside and felt anxious.Although she knew that Liam would not harm Anna, Liam’s expression was dark and exceptionally terrifying.Jennifer walked closer and was stopped by Nina.“What are you doing here!”“I’m looking for Mr. Ackman.”“Stay right here! Mr. Ackman is busy now.”“Busy with what?” Jennifer glanced at the office door which was shut tight. “Anna can’t be the only student that Mr. Ackman cares about!”“Jennifer, if you think that you won’t make Mr. Ackman is mad by going in there now, you are more than welcome to try!”Nina stood in front of the door with one hand on her hip.Jennifer grumbled and cursed as she turned around and left. “Watchdog!” “You!”Jennifer left the hallway but hid under the stairway around the corner.She wanted to see if there was anything fishy going on between Liam and Anna!Anna nervously stood in front of Liam as she held her hands tightly. She lowered her head and wait
At that moment, Chloe was locked up in the Dawson family mansion.At first, Chloe was lying in the hospital’s examination room, but before the doctor could begin the check-up, a group of reporters who heard the information from an unknown source suddenly barged into the room and started taking pictures.The servants that Grandmother Dawson sent quickly protected Chloe as they left the hospital. The consequences would be unthinkable if a reporter had caught up to her.The reporters noticed that Chloe was having a gynecological check-up and the doctor who was doing the check-up was a famous specialist in the hospital.The news of Chloe’s pregnancy was immediately published by the reporters, making it a big deal known by everyone.Chloe lowered her head as she stood miserably in front of Grandmother Dawson.Bryan kept a cool face, occasionally he would glance at Chloe with bewilderment.Grandmother Dawson sat upright on the sofa as she looked at Chloe’s gentle and obedient behavior
Bryan slammed Chloe onto the floor and grabbed onto her collar and pulled her back up.“Trying to trick me with your pregnancy! Alright, Chloe, let’s see if you really have my seed inside your belly!”As Bryan fiercely spoke, he placed his hand over Chloe’s belly and slowly applied force.Chloe was so terrified that her face went pale. She shook her head incessantly as huge drops of tears fell.“Bryan… No, no… This is your flesh and blood!”Chloe sobbed loudly and pleaded repeatedly.“Bryan, I’ve been with you for so long and I’ve sacrificed so much for you, you can’t treat me like this…”“This is your child, your flesh and blood, you can’t be so cruel, Bryan…”Bryan went mad and lost his sanity at the thought of possibly losing his status as the heir of the Dawson family, and becoming people’s laughing stock in the future, and being criticized as an illegitimate son.Just as Bryan raised his fist and swung toward Chloe’s lower abdomen, Amelia opened the door and entered the r
Daniel was shocked to see Anna enter and quickly stood up. “Anna, you’re back.” “Dad! Don’t say a thing. Now that it has come to this, I’ll tell Bryan that I’m calling off the marriage. I’ll give my blessings... To Chloe and Bryan.” “Anna… This whole incident is Chloe’s fault, but... she’s pregnant now…” Daniel worryingly looked at Anna. “I know, I don’t blame anyone!” “But I have a request, I wish to go over to the Dawson residence now and talk with Grandmother Dawson about this.” Daniel suddenly frowned and said, “What do you want to talk about?”“I refuse to let this quietly die down! I’m the eldest sister of the Hamilton family and the future successor of the Lincoln Group, I can’t throw my reputation away without a fight!” said Anna coldly. Daniel wanted to stop her but she left before he could say a word. He lit up another cigarette, the small flame dimmed then brightened as he huffed and puffed while he looked as if he was hesitating. “If I let Anna say things
Anna’s press conference was held at the banquet hall of a luxurious hotel.The press and media have arrived beforehand, holding all sorts of cameras while awaiting Anna’s arrival.In the waiting room.Anna wore a long black dress, she looked frail and especially haggard.She had foundation makeup on her face and looked pale, her eyes had no light, yet she radiated the elegance and grace she was born with.“Ms. Anna, two more minutes till the press conference begins, please get ready,” said a staff member who pushed open the door.“Alright, got it.”Anna stood up as she spoke and wore her sunglasses.Suddenly, her wristband lit up. This time it was a text from Liam.“Looking forward to your perfect finale.” Anna’s lips smirked a little, she grabbed her phone and quickly replied. “Can you treat me to a meal?”“Sure, I’ll treat you to one. The meal is you.”“...”There was not a time when this man was not dirty!You could not count on him to behave like a friend who treat
“Congratulations to Little Annie’s first victory!”“Cheers!” Jamie and Nina raised a glass to Anna in celebration.Jamie’s bar was closed for the day so they could drink to their heart’s content as there were only three of them in the huge bar.Anna drank a sip of juice and her face was filled with joy. She did not look like she had just cried her eyes out at the press conference.Anna had a bite of lamb skewers and asked, “Was it the both of you who posted online about Chloe causing my eye injury?” Jamie and Nina shook their heads together.“I did think of posting, but you said that this whole thing was kept under control by your father. Didn’t you say that you did not wish to expose it to retain the Hamilton family’s reputation?” said Nina.“I haven’t had the chance to write anything and there’s already rumors spreading everywhere online,” Jamie said as he munched on some lamb kidney.Nina snatched it away from Jamie, “Give me that, it’s a waste on you!”“Give it back!
