Anna had walked along the street for a long time. Suddenly, a car stopped in front of her, blocking her path.She looked up and saw Liam striding out of the car.Without saying a word, he grabbed her and stuffed her into his car.She widened her eyes in shock. “What are you doing!”Liam glanced at her. He started the engine without uttering a word.“Where are you taking me!”Anna was reminded of the day Liam devoured her whole in the car. Filled with terror, Anna hugged herself tightly and glared at him with vigilant eyes.“Aren’t you afraid that someone will snap pictures of you ambling along the streets!” Liam’s voice was still frigid without warmth. “It’s not like I’m doing anything shameful! What am I supposed to be afraid of!” Anna fumed.Liam shot a glance at her from the corner of his eyes. Finally, Anna remembered that to the outside world, she was a blind woman. Casually strolling on the streets at night would surely arouse others’ suspicions. She rolled her eyes a
Chloe had hired paparazzi to tail Anna. Although they saw Anna entering Liam’s car, they only got a blurry photograph of Anna from behind. It had no potential of becoming breaking news at all.However, Liam threw them off too quickly. That was the only photograph she got.Chloe was furious that she could not get anything on Anna at the first attempt. “I don’t believe that their relationship is as simple as mentor and mentee!”She called the paparazzi again and instructed them to keep an eye on Anna twenty-four-seven. She wanted them to watch her every move. If anything suspicious was to occur, they must report to her immediately.After that dinner with Liam, Anna had been cooped up in her room for days again.Chloe was growing impatient.“Mommy, when I went to the Dawson family dinner two days ago, Grandma Dawson brought up Anna in front of everyone! She said that the Dawson family had wronged her and will compensate her accordingly in the future. They don’t want the outsiders ca
“What is it?”Bryan’s eyes turned gloomy.Chloe lowered her voice even more and whispered into Bryan’s ear, “Bryan, don’t you think there’s something odd going on between Anna and your uncle?”“What are you saying!” Bryan’s brows knitted tightly together.“Bryan, I’m serious! Uncle has always been hostile toward Anna, but lately, he seems so concerned about her. He even came here to visit her! Moreover, he went to her room and they spent a lot of time there alone!”Bryan was vexed. “Shut up! There’s no way!”Although Bryan was not close to his uncle and did not even dare to breathe too loudly in front of him, he still could not accept the possibility that his uncle might have been involved with his ex-fiancee.“Chloe Hamilton, I’m warning you, you better keep your mouth shut! Don’t offend the man that should never be wronged! Otherwise, no one can protect you!”Seeing Bryan’s enraged expression and heavily heaving chest, she hurriedly tried to soothe him.“Bryan… Don’t be mad…
Anna did not know about Bryan’s arrival. She was busy having a video call with Jamie in her room.Jamie was dressed in all black that day. He appeared a little haggard without makeup on his delicate face.His hair was also messy and unkempt, making him appear somewhat depressed. He rested his chin on one hand while the other stroked the edge of his wine glass.Even in that state, Jamie still gave off a peculiar sense of indolent beauty.Anna’s heart ached as she gazed at the screen to see Jamie’s lack of his usual spirit. At the same time, she was quite curious about that handsome foreigner. What kind of person could drain the spirit out of a fighter like Jamie?“Babe, I’m in a bad mood.” Jamie drank a sip of wine.“You couldn’t win him over?” asked Anna.“No, I couldn’t even find him. It’s as if he had vanished into thin air.”“Perhaps he went back to his country?”“No, to find him, I asked some friends to ask around in airline companies. There was no record of him enteri
Bryan pressed Anna onto the bed. Anna struggled and pounded her fists against him. Even so, he would not let go.“Anna, listen to me. As long as you’re willing to be with me… I don’t care if you’re blind. I can make Chloe abort her child and let you bear one. That way, Grandma will surely accept you.“Do you not understand the situation you’re in right now? There’s no way you can successfully take over Lincoln Group without being the future lady of the Dawson family! Right now, you have nothing!“I am the only person who can help you! Only I, Bryan Dawson, can save you!”“You f*cking bastard!” Anna cursed. She struggled against him with all her might, yet her strength was nothing compared to Bryan’s.“What status does Chloe have? You’re more clear on that than me! How could she ever be worthy of me? If it weren’t for the child and Grandma’s dream of holding a great-grandchild, what right would she have to marry into the Dawson family!“Anna, we are the true perfect couple! You
“Anna! Put the knife down!” Shocked, Bryan’s face turned pale.“Get out! Get the hell out of my room!” Anna yelled and hissed.“Alright, alright, alright! I’ll get out! Please don’t be rash!”Terrified, Bryan hurriedly unlocked the door.Chloe rushed in instantly and grabbed Bryan. She turned to Anna, who was holding a knife on the bed.“What are you two doing? Why is the door locked? What’s with the knife? What were you planning to do?” Chloe hurriedly stood in front of Bryan, shielding him.Bryan’s expression changed. “Nothing at all! Your sister wants to eat some fruits!”Bryan frantically gestured at Anna, hinting at her to not tell Chloe what happened in the room. After a while, he remembered that Anna probably could not see. He shook his fist in rage.Anna scoffed internally when she saw Bryan panicking. She slowly put down the fruit knife.“Indeed, I want to eat some fruits,” Anna confirmed.Naturally, she did not want Chloe to find out what happened either. Otherwise,
Liam took Anna and sped toward the bridal boutique in his car.When they got out of the car, Anna tried to escape. However, Liam grabbed her.She looked up to be met with his cold and overbearing gaze. All of her stubbornness and perseverance were broken down little by little.Liam strode into the bridal boutique with Anna. An employee greeted them immediately.“Welcome! May I know what style of wedding dress you are looking for? The wedding dresses in our boutique are all designed by top-class designers. Every dress is one of a kind.“If you two can let me know the type of style you like, I’ll be able to introduce some dresses to you.”The employee had a courteous smile on her face. Even so, Liam did not even glance at her. His piercing gaze scanned the interior of the bridal boutique.Anna gazed at the expertly crafted wedding dresses displayed within the store. A calm smile gradually appeared on her face.Those beautiful white dresses were the biggest dreams of every woman.
Chloe came out of a fitting room in the boutique. Dressed in a white and puffy wedding gown, she appeared like a beautiful princess.“Bryan, how do I look?” Chloe smiled cheerfully. However, Bryan simply stared blankly at her.For some reason, seeing Chloe dressed in all white reminded him of Anna’s who was also dressed similarly during Grandmother Dawson’s birthday party.It was the same kind of white, but although Chloe still looked amazing in her gown, her beauty was nothing compared to that of Anna’s.Only vibrant and sexy colors suited Chloe—they made her look especially seductive and alluring.A color of purity and innocence did not suit her at all.Even so, Bryan still smiled and complimented, “Gorgeous. You dazed me for a while.”Chloe flashed him a shy smile. “Bryan, you’re always so good at making me happy.”As she chuckled, the smile on her face suddenly vanished. She stared at something behind Bryan with a dumbfounded expression. Her face gradually turned paler.Br
