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
When Liam had arrived according to the map, Anna was already gone.He then followed Anna’s route all the way back to her home. He only drove off when he saw Anna staggering into her house with the servant’s support.He lowered his head to his phone and saw the numerous angry messages Anna had sent. He wanted to delete them but in the end, he just left them.It seemed quite interesting to leave it on his phone.It could be used as evidence to reprimand Anna in the future!Daniel stopped Anna and nagged her when she drunkenly entered the house.“I can’t believe you went drinking and came back so late! This is inappropriate behavior!”Anna lay against Lisa’s shoulder and did not even glance at Daniel. “I went out drinking and eating with Mr. Ackman, do I need to report that to you as well?” “Should I tell Mr. Ackman while we’re eating that my father doesn’t allow me to go out and come back late? Mr. Ackman, quickly finish eating, I need to go home!”Daniel was left speechless an
Chloe stepped closer to Anna and glared at her viciously.“Anna, is it really that pure between you and Mr. Ackman? Better not let me catch you in the act!”“What’s there between us? Why don’t I know about it?” Anna shrugged fearlessly.“I’ve never seen a pure friendship between a man and a woman where they give each other wedding dresses!” Chloe’s face went red with anger.“Mr. Ackman said it’s fine as long as I like it!” Anna smiled.Chloe angrily gritted her teeth.Nicole hurriedly ran toward them and dragged Chloe away and said to her softly, “Enough, stop making so much noise! She has Mr. Ackman’s support now!”“Mommy! Don’t be afraid of her! She has nothing now! So what if Mr. Ackman supports her! They can’t be together judging by their status!” Chloe still refused to back down.“Alright, alright, keep it down. I’m really annoyed!” said Nicole impatiently.“Mommy, what’s wrong?”Nicole waved her hand, “It’s fine, just take care of your baby and don’t cause any more trou
Daniel’s expression became gloomy when he saw the three of them gathered by the study room door upstairs.“What’s all this noise!?” he exclaimed.Lisa was worried that Daniel would berate Anna again without understanding the situation so she hurriedly ran from the kitchen and smiled and spoke.“Ms. Anna, can you see now? That’s great! This is great!”Anna turned toward Lisa as she smiled and nodded at her. The both of them exchanged looks.Lisa subtly nodded her head, she appeared to have understood Anna’s implication.“Anna can see already? This is amazing!” Daniel hastily walked upstairs.Nicole’s body froze as a shiver went down her spine. Cold sweat appeared on her forehead as she held Chloe even tighter.Chloe was confused as she looked at Nicole with uncertainty.“Mommy, what’s wrong?”Nicole quickly shook her head with a pleading look.Daniel got upstairs and looked at Anna with excitement. “You really can see now?”Anna nodded her head. “Dad, I can see now.”Daniel
