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
Everyone had turned their gaze to Liam. Their eyes were filled with questions and curiosity, but most of all, they were brimming with anticipation for gossip.If Liam and Anna had been together for quite a while, it would mean that they were dating even before Anna and Bryan’s marriage had been called off!Liam was Bryan’s uncle!Anna might not be related to Liam by blood, but she still had to call Liam her uncle because of his relations with Bryan.During the press conference, Anna made herself out as the victim in the affair but still showed her full support for Bryan and her sister. Her actions gained her the sympathy of the entire city.If Anna had been in a relationship with Liam long ago, what would that say about her character…Everyone’s gaze shifted onto Anna, who seemed to be at a loss.One of the sisters had seduced the other’s fiance while the other sister seduced her fiance’s uncle—quite evidently, the latter was much more shameful than the former!Their stares wer
Chloe rushed toward Anna and shoved her furiously…“Ah!”Everyone shrieked.Bryan widened his eyes and stared unblinkingly at Chloe and Anna.Initially, he had the chance to stop Chloe, but at the same time, he also yearned to know if Anna’s eyes were truly blind or if she was just pretending that whole time. When he was in Anna’s room, he felt that her eyes were no different from that of an ordinary person. He felt that she could see everything but refused to admit it. However, he had no evidence to prove it.With Chloe pushing Anna, the truth behind her vision would finally be revealed!Anna stared dumbstruck at Chloe who was pouncing toward her. At that moment, she did not know what to do.She could only choose between letting Chloe shove her and getting injured from the fall or dodging Chloe’s attack but ending up revealing the truth behind her blindness.Anna made her decision within that short second. She had chosen to close her eyes and subtle clench her fists, prepari
Anna, too, was shocked.He was buying a bridal boutique for her?Did he not buy all those wedding dresses for her to admire already? How did her gift turn into an entire boutique?It was too…Anna placed her hand to her head. What was going on this time? Did she have a choice to not accept it?When she felt Liam’s assertive and domineering gaze, Anna had no choice but to lower her head compliantly and dispel any thoughts of resistance. She bore it like a complaisant little sheep.The female employees had long been entranced by Liam’s air of superiority. In their eyes, Liam was the only god glowing before them. “I want to be Mr. Ackman’s student too. What a blessing!”“No! I want to yell ‘we are together’! Mr. Ackman pampers Ms. Anna too much!”“I envy and admire her so much! My heart is melting too…”The female employees gazed at Liam and Anna with widened eyes.Just then, an employee approached with two dresses and asked Chloe in a monotonous voice, “Ms. Chloe, shall I pac
