No right to say ‘no’!What a domineering man!Anna felt the pain in her heart worsening. Her gaze turned aloof and his, cold.“Mr. Ackman, perhaps you felt that it was thrilling to be with me because I was Bryan Dawson’s fiancee! Now, the marriage between the two of us has been called off. I am no longer your nephew’s fiancee. The thrill of danger should have also died down by now!”Liam’s eyes turned colder and scarier. A dense and dark air surrounded him. He was like a demon that descended from the depths of hell—standing above all with a petrifying aura…“Anna Hamilton, all this while, women were the ones chasing after me. You are the first one to push me a thousand miles away! You better learn what’s good and what’s bad for you!“I’ve told you before, without me, you’ll plummet to unreachable depths! You can only rely on me!“Without me, you have nothing!”His icy voice bombarded her, making her heart shudder.“So? You just want a toy, don’t you?”She gazed at him with ho
Distressed, Chloe turned to Daniel. Nonetheless, he did not even glance at her, Thus, she had no choice but to turn to Nicole for help.Nicole shot a glance at Chloe. After that, Chloe hurriedly took a step forward and called out in a pitiable tone.“Uncle…”She wanted to demonstrate her innocence and acted as if she was a victim that deserved pity. However, the second her act started, Liam interrupted coldly.“Mr. Ackman, I hope you can keep your promise to me from before!”Daniel smiled awkwardly. “Rest assured, Mr. Ackman. I will definitely take good care of Anna so she can return to campus soon! After all, she is my daughter. I won’t let her suffer.”“Indeed. After all, one should always leave the best things for their family.”Liam’s words clearly indicated that Nicole and Chloe were not part of the Hamilton family, so Daniel should have paid more attention to Anna.Nicole and Chloe turned pale. However, when faced with the high and mighty Liam Ackman, the two had no choic
In the coffee shop.Just as Anna had taken the first sip from her coffee, she saw a red beam of light shining from the table across from her. The fragrance of an enchanting woman diffused from that direction.She focused her gaze and almost spit out the mouthful of coffee she just drank.Jamie was wearing a fashionable skin-tight red suit. There was even a black lace collar buckled around his neck with a bell attached to it. His slightly curled fringe hung casually in front of his brows. His eyes were caked with makeup more dazzling than a woman’s. Jamie rolled his eyes at her.“Tch, you’re so heartless. You only came for coffee! You didn’t even want to budge when I asked you here to pick a fight!” Jamie fanned himself with a miniature fan in one hand while keeping his other wrist limp.“Who do you want to fight?” Anna forcibly swallowed the sip of coffee in her mouth.“Who else can it be!”“That Prince Charming that dumped you?”“Bah! Why would I fight him! I can’t even love h
“Bryan, my hubby~”A disgustingly coquettish voice was picked up by Jamie’s phone and sounded through Anna’s phone speakers.Jamie had started a video call with Anna before he kept his phone away.Anna could hear clearly every sound in the clothing store.Hearing Jamie say ‘hubby’ instantly gave Anna goosebumps.“Hubby, why are you here? Didn’t you say you were out of town on a business trip?”Jamie rushed toward Bryan and smiled amorously.“Oh, I know! You must be here to buy gifts and surprise me at home, right?“Mmm… You sneaky man…”Jamie spoke as if everything he said was true. He even pinched Bryan’s dumbstruck face as he talked.Anna rested her face on her palm. She suddenly felt a certain frigidity…Jamie’s sudden appearance threw Bryan into a daze. He hurriedly hit Jamie’s hands and rubbed his face hard.“Who are you? Who’s your husband? I don’t know you.”“What’s going on? Who are you?” Chloe quickly rushed up to them and hugged Bryan’s arm as she stood in an aut
“Hahaha…”Anna and Jamie were in the stairwell of the shopping center. They laughed until they were out of breath.“Jamie, how did you think of that? You even called him hubby! Hahaha… I’m gonna die laughing…”“I bet that relieved your anger! This is nothing! I’ve only used ten percent of my powers. But seeing my Little Annie laughing so cheerfully, I truly regret not giving that scum a few slaps too.”Jamie massaged his wrist. “But he is quite a big and tall man. I was afraid I couldn't beat him in a fight. But slapping that b*tch is already quite satisfying!”“Hahaha… that’s true. Jamie, you’re the strongest and boldest person I know!” Anna could not help but show him a big thumbs up.Anna laughed and laughed, then suddenly stopped and gazed at Jamie with a serious expression. “Thank you.”Jamie was taken aback. He watched as mist slowly gathered in Anna’s eyes. He gently tapped her forehead and rolled his eyes at her.“Little dummy, why are you thanking me so much today!”
Chloe held her stomach painfully.“Mom… What now? Will the baby be okay? My stomach hurts so much…”Nicole hugged Chloe tightly. Her voice was quivering with fear. “Danny, do you see how much Chloe’s stomach is hurting… What should we do? Let’s… Let’s call the doctor.”Daniel was also frightened. He hurriedly called their family doctor, yet Chloe stopped him.“Daddy, don’t call the family doctor… If the doctor knows about my condition, it’ll shock the Dawson family and worry Grandma Dawson. I would be committing a terrible sin if she falls ill again.”Chloe gazed at Daniel with a pained expression, yet at the same time, she put on a thoughtful and compassionate look. “If Grandma thinks that Daddy and Mommy didn’t take good care of me… she’ll get mad at Daddy!“I’ll be fine after some rest.”Daniel gazed at Chloe. She appeared to be in so much pain, yet she still thought about what was best for him. He felt gratified.Although Grandmother Dawson had agreed to let Chloe marry int
Anna’s words made Daniel’s expression darken even further.He pointed his fingers shakingly toward the top of the stairs. His lungs heaved heavily.“Just a child? She didn’t sound like a child at all when she was lecturing me!”“Ah… Anna sure has a bad temperament. No matter how mad she is at me, she still shouldn’t take it out on you,” Nicole mumbled as she tried to soothe Daniel’s anger.“There, there. Calm down…”Daniel exhaled and fumed, “This temperament of hers must have developed because I spoiled her as a child!”Chloe came over too and hugged Daniel’s arm. “Daddy, it’s all my fault. I was the one that wronged her. Anna had always disliked Mommy and me—her tantrum is justifiable after an incident like this. Please don’t blame her.”Daniel turned to Chloe but did not say a word.Chloe continued, “Daddy if there’s anyone to be blamed, it’s got to be me! If I didn’t pity Bryan… while he was drunk and grieving… the incident today never would have happened.“I felt sympathy
With Daniel’s urging, the Dawson family swiftly fixed a date for Chloe and Bryan’s wedding.This made the people on the internet, who strongly supported Anna, start hurling insults at Chloe and Bryan again. Even so, the deed had been done and the marriage was confirmed. After a few days of uproar, the netizens gave in.It had been two days since Anna left her room. All her meals had been brought to her by Lisa. Although she seemed to have been relegated to the background in the house, she thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility it brought. She could finally study in peace and prepare herself to return to campus.Lisa would advise her from time to time, “Ms. Anna, Sir only did this in a fit of anger. If you say a few words of appeal to him, I’m sure he will let you out. You are his daughter by blood after all.”Anna’s chest tightened the moment Daniel was mentioned.Her father had thoroughly broken her heart. Her strategy to advance by retreating could not compete with a sudden pregnanc
