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
Chloe left the bridal boutique and chased after Bryan to the parking lot.“Bryan, wait for me! Why did you leave me behind again!”Chloe scurried up to Bryan and grabbed him.Bryan pulled away his arm and pushed Chloe away. He pointed at his face and chided in a bitter and hateful tone.“Do you not feel embarrassed? I’m utterly humiliated by you!”“Bryan! How could you blame me? It’s Uncle and Anna that’s purposely targeting us!”“It’s you, not us! You’re that one who’s being a disgrace!” Bryan took a deep breath, trying his best to keep his voice level. “Do you think you can hold your nose in the air just because you’re now my fiance and carrying my child? Do you think you can consider everyone else to be beneath you just because you’re part of the Dawson family?“Look at the things you’ve done! You pushed Anna while so many were watching! You may not be ashamed, but I sure am! How could you do something like that!”“Bryan, are you not curious about whether Anna has truly lost
The restaurant that Liam chose was a high-end restaurant.Its extravagant interior made the restaurant seem like a palace.Anna sat across from Liam, glaring at him disgruntledly.That man was constantly cooking up schemes to trick her into bed! How utterly despicable! When the waiter handed them the menu, Liam did not even glance at it before spitting out three words.“The Royal Banquet.”“...”Anna almost spat blood.She hurriedly flipped through the menu to check the price of a Royal Banquet in such a high-class restaurant.However, she could not find it at all.“Miss, the Royal Banquet is a set dinner. Each set is four hundred and sixty thousand dollars. I shall take your order to the kitchen now.” Having said that, the waiter politely excused himself from the table.Anna choked. She fell limp onto the table and pointed her finger weakly at Liam.“Can you even finish such a huge set? How can you waste food so recklessly! Don’t you know that wasting is the greatest cr
Anna rushed out of the restaurant, hailed a cab, and immediately got in.Micheal wanted to stop her but the cab had long been driven away.“Mr. Ackman, Old Man Ackman, the great Ackman prince, how did you make her storm off like that?” Micheal showed Liam a million thumbs-ups.“She just treated us to a meal. At least be a gentleman and send her home! Shouldn’t you make sure she gets home safe?”Liam gazed down at the white paper in his hands. It was not an IOU but simply a blank piece of paper.Even so, that naive little lady still believed him!It seemed like he really could trick her into bed with him at any time. “Mr. Ackman, are you listening to me? It’s already late. It’s not safe for a girl to be out at this time alone,” Micheal pointed out.Liam curled up his lips and smiled. He gazed in the direction in which Anna left and said in an ambiguous tone, “What are you afraid of? She will never escape from the palms of my hand!”With the GPS tracker in Anna’s wristband, he
Jamie quickly snatched the wine bottle from Anna’s hand.“What are you doing? Are you trying to ruin yourself? You can’t drink this wine like that! You’ll get drunk, my dear!”Anna wiped her lips and suddenly laughed.“I won’t get drunk! Today I’m happy so I want to have a glass to celebrate, look at you being scared!”Jamie plopped down in front of Anna and stared at her. “Is it? Are you going to tell me or not?”“Tell you what?” Anna pushed aside Jamie’s charming face.“Quickly tell me the truth, exactly who it was!”Anna angrily glanced at him and immediately fell back into silence.After a long time, Anna lowered her head and spoke extremely softly.“Jamie, if a man said that he doesn’t like you, but will still be attentive, caring, and even wants to have you as his possession, what does he mean by that?”“Have you slept with him?” asked Jamie.Anna blushed and appeared constrained.“That means you’ve slept with him,” said Jamie as he smacked the table.“...”Jamie lo
