In the middle of the stage.

Grandmother Dawson gazed at the guests beneath the stage with kind and tender eyes. Her face glowed with a light tinge of red.

“Thank you all for attending this old lady’s birthday party!”

The guests applauded.

“In conjunction with this party, I’d like to introduce a special guest to all of you. I believe you all would have heard of him.

“You know him by his many sobriquets: the Ackman prince, the business genius, the ice-cold general… Hehehe.”

All the guests gasped at once.

They had awaited this moment for so long—finally, the mysterious man’s face was revealed for all to see.

Discussions broke out among the guests.

“The Dawson family sure is proud. I can’t believe the Ackman prince personally attended Grandmother Dawson’s birthday party!”

The ladies among the guests squealed.

“He’s so handsome!”

“I really like him…”

“I hope I can have a drink with him later.”

There were even women plotting to create an ‘accidental’ drunken adventure with him later that night.

Meanwhile, the men were discussing possible business opportunities. “The Ackman Group is a massive international group. They’ve been mainly investing in overseas ventures these few years. I’ve heard they’ve made it big in other countries.”

“If their overseas ventures are so successful, why did they come back?”

“A good portion of the company is still operating from within the country after all.”

“Their son came back to take over all domestic businesses. With that done, he has pretty much taken over the entire family business; he has become the true man of the Ackman household.”

Having heard that, the guests all inhaled sharply again.

“The Ackman family’s business can no longer be considered a simple corporate group—it was an empire.”

Anna was dumbfounded. She did not expect the gay man, who took away her first time while she was drunk, would turn out to be the infamous Liam Ackman!

Liam stood elegantly on the stage, exhibiting the grace a true nobleman should have.

He stood in silence, not uttering a word—like a king watching his kingdom from up high, waiting for his subjects to bow their heads.

His pair of deep dark eyes penetrated the crowd, brushing past even the ladies who were all busy twirling their hair in an effort to compete for his attention.

Finally, his gaze landed on Anna, who was sitting quietly in the row of seats furthest away from the stage.

She was like the silver moon hanging brightly in the sky—even amongst the countless guests, he could always spot Anna in her white dress.

Anna could feel his gaze on her. She panicked and turned away, avoiding eye contact.

“What’s wrong, Anna?” Chloe stared at her curiously.

Anna quickly stood up. “Nothing.”

“Anna, you think the Ackman prince is really handsome too right? He’s so hot. Too bad rumor has it that he’s gay!” Chloe shook her head in disappointment.

Anna’s heart stopped for a second. An image of his relentless actions in bed appeared in her mind…

‘Is he really gay?

‘There must’ve been a mistake somewhere…’

Chloe held her hands together firmly, gazing dreamily at the dashing man standing on stage. “If only there’s a way to turn him straight.”

Anna was annoyed. Chloe already has Bryan, yet she was still aiming for Liam!

A strong possessive urge suddenly overcame Anna; she would never let Chloe lay a finger on Liam.

The revelation that followed gave Anna an even greater shock.

On the stage, Grandmother Dawson called out Bryan and Anna’s names into the microphone.

Bryan swiftly came to Anna and walked to the stage with her hand-in-hand. Chloe ground her teeth in rage.

Grandmother Dawson’s sounded through the speakers again.

“Bryan, Anna, this is your uncle.”

‘What?

‘U-u-uncle?!’

At that moment, Anna was heading up the steps that led to the stage. Hearing that, she almost fell off the stairs. Luckily, Bryan’s reaction was quick enough to catch her.

“Anna, are you alright? You look terrible.”

After a long pause, Anna shook her head.

Grandmother Dawson beckoned them to the stage and introduce Liam to them with a bright smile. “Quick, greet your uncle.”

“...”

Anna felt as if blood was curdling up in her chest. She could almost spew out blood.

At that moment, she felt a sudden urge to kill herself.

On the contrary, Liam’s expression showed nothing out of the ordinary. He even looked her up and down with curious eyes.

“Aunty, this is?”

Anna yeared to ask, ‘You pervert, did you lose your memory?’

Grandmother Dawson smiled as she turned to Anna. “This is Bryan’s fiancee; my future granddaughter-in-law.”

Although Liam was smiling on the surface, his gaze unmistakably turned cold after hearing that. “Ah, Bryan’s fiancee.”

Grandmother Dawson urged Anna, “Anna, quick, greet your uncle.”

Bryan, too, was smiling and pressing her. “Anna, this is your uncle.”

Anna stared at Liam’s infuriating face. She could not bring herself to call him uncle.

‘How could he be my uncle? He acts nothing like an elder!’ Anna thought.

‘He’s clearly just a no-good philanderer!’

Liam gazed at her calmly. His deep eyes were a mystery—they showed no hint of his emotions.

Anna opened her mouth but struggled for a long time before she could softly utter out the words.

“Hi, U-u-uncle.”

Liam widened his eyes slightly. His face remained expressionless as he acknowledged her greeting with a simple ‘mmm’.

A million swear words filled Anna’s head.

‘Mmm my *ss!’

    Grandmother Dawson held Anna’s hand. “Liam, isn’t Anna beautiful?”Liam’s expression remained indifferent. However, when he saw that Anna had changed into a more modest outfit, his lips curled up slightly with satisfaction.“Yea, not bad. She looks… like an obedient girl.”‘Obedient?’ Anna’s contempt for him grew even more. ‘Is he hinting that my bite wasn’t hard enough just now!’Grandmother Dawson quickly took Bryan’s hand too and placed it together with Anna’s. “I am so happy that these two can be together.”Liam’s cold gaze fell onto their clasped hands. His eyes became narrower and narrower and he abruptly let out a cough.“Cough, cough!”Grandmother Dawson quickly asked in a compassionate tone, “Liam, are you not adjusting well to the weather here?”Liam pointed at Bryan and commanded, “Bring me a glass of water.”As the precious son of the Dawson family, Bryan had never served others before. Nonetheless, when it came to Liam Ackman, Bryan was more than willing to listen

    Anna took her seat beside Grandmother Dawson. In front of her sat Liam, and beside her was Bryan.Bryan forcibly curled his stiff lips into a smile, holding down the discontent in his heart. In a soft tone, he inquired, “Anna, you just came out of surgery. Is there any food you need to avoid?”Having such a compassionate fiance made Anna the envy of many women.Even so, Anna simply replied with a short mumble.Among the guests, someone whispered, “That’s a Hamilton for you. Already stepping over our heads the moment she arrived.”“Haha, well, she’s the successor of Lincoln Group after all. Although the Lincoln Group has been a little shaky these few years, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. That’s where her status lies.”“Ah, so that’s what makes her so special.”A profound look appeared in Liam’s eyes. His complex expression made it hard to decipher his true feelings.Sitting opposite of Liam, Anna felt immensely nervous and uncomfortable.The dining table was n

    Bryan staggered. His shock was evident in his expression.When Bryan saw Liam’s ice-cold eyes, he felt a chill down his spine. Bryan hastily removed his arm from Anna’s seductively thin waist.The scene confused everyone. The garden instantly fell into pin-drop silence. Liam’s expression was colder than ice.It was as if every living thing had been rendered frozen by him.Anna was also taken aback. What was Liam thinking? Was he intentionally arousing the suspicion of others?Even the smile on Grandmother Dawson’s face turned rigid. She curiously looked Liam up and down.“Liam?” she called out softly.Liam did not reply. His expression remained dark and his eyes were still fixed on Anna.The atmosphere suddenly turned tense; everyone could feel the heaviness in the air.The guests exchanged glances, then came to an epiphany…Liam Ackman was gay—he was not used to seeing intimacy between men and women. It must have been a terribly uncomfortable scene for a gay man like him to

I was simply trying to establish good relations with your uncle because I want to be with you.”Bryan’s expression somewhat resembled a smile. His eyes were dull and murky. “Chloe, let me ask you something: did Anna figure something out?”He had seen immense changes in Anna’s behavior lately; he almost could not recognize her anymore.The only thing left unchanged about her was her identity. Otherwise, it was safe to say that Anna had morphed into a completely different person!Chloe maintained her sweet smile. “It can’t be. Anna looks fine to me. Bryan, perhaps you’re overthinking.”“Chloe, you better not play games with me, alright? Be a good girl and when I become the head of the Dawson family, I’ll make s

    Ryan busted into Anna’s room and locked the door behind him.He hurried into the bedroom, then saw Anna tossing and turning uncomfortably on the giant bed.Her long dress was rolled all the way up, exposing her long and fair legs and the pure white undies between her slender thighs.Her hands were constantly tugging at her collar. Her red lips parted again and again as she whimpered, “Hot… It’s so hot…”Ryan felt his throat tighten and his body burning up. He hastily took off his clothes.“You little vixen. Clearly such a naughty girl yet you pretend to be a saint…” With a wicked smile, Ryan pounced onto her. Anna let out a soft grunt when she felt the sudden weight on her body.With much effort, she opened her heavy eyelids and saw a man’s face through her blurry eyes. Her hands immediately started pushing against him.“Who… Who are you… Don’t touch me…”She yelled at the top of her lungs, yet the sounds she produced were nothing more than soft whimpers. It excited him even

His blood was rushing to a particular part of his body.As his nimble fingers were about to move her panties to the side, Anna suddenly snapped out of her trance.She pushed him away with all her might, but without him supporting her, her legs gave in and she slipped right down to the floor.“Ah…” she shouted.She grabbed onto him out of instinct. Unexpectedly, one of her hands landed on his belt while the other grabbed firmly onto his erect shaft. A certain something of his was pointing right at her face.“Hehe, someone’s in a hurry,” he chuckled and teased.Anna felt her body on fire. Her cheeks were so red that it was as if they were dripping out blood.She hurriedly let go. Before her butt touched the ground, Liam grabbed her waist and pulled her back up.Her scalding face was buried against his firm chest.Even th

I won’t.” She looked adorably innocent as she shook her head. At that moment, she felt as if the flames of hell were burning in a particular part of her body. Tormented by the heat, she only cared about finding relief as soon as possible.Liam put on a contented smile. He no longer needed to hold himself back.

Blood rushed downward to a particular organ of his.“Last night, I… I drank too much. I can’t remember what happened… How could you take advantage of me… You bastard…”Anna’s eyes felt warm. Her eyes, which were as clear as spring water, were suddenly hidden behind a cloud of mist.“Take advantage of you? Bastard?” Liam scoffed. “I didn’t mean for last night to happen! I… I drank too much…” Anna choked as she protested.Seeing this, Liam’s heart softened. He did not have the heart to tell her the truth. Last night, if he had not helped her, if he had not been her antidote, she might have been swallowed whole by her own raging flames.“You’re a shameless and despicable bastard!” Anna scowled. Her heart ached terribly.Liam’s expression gradually turned cold. “Anna Hamilton, was I too gentle with you?”No one had ever spoken to h

This is designed for my beloved woman."Anna blushed and glared at him, "You kept it a secret at that time. You are so cunning!""I want to give you a surprise!"

Liam said gently. Anna was unhappy and pouted, while she still looked sexy and charming with her eyes dropping. "That doesn't mean excessively light food, right?" "Well, chicken noodle soup does have very little chicken and noodles. If you are recovering well today, I will put more chicken and noodles in the soup for you tomorrow." Liam took the spoon, gently blew at it and carefully placed it before Anna's lips. Anna had a mouthful, and then her eyes swept over the small table next to her. Liam immediately sent some appetizer to Anna's mouth, "This is also what I had the cook prepare specially for you, I
