Liam stared at Anna’s sleeping form and shook his head helplessly.“This girl, why does she like to sleep in bathtubs so much? I even have to worry about you when you’re taking a shower. The moment I take my eyes off you, who knows what will happen?”Liam lifted her out of the bathtub, wrapped her up with a towel, and placed her on the bed. Then, he dried her hair slowly with a dry towel.Anna was fast asleep, comfortable and snug, yet she suddenly dreamed of Nina advising her solemnly, “You have to be careful when dealing with Mr. Ackman, keep your guard up at all times. The moment you let your guard down, he’ll devour you whole…”Anna was shocked awake, noticing Liam sitting beside her in nothing but a towel, revealing his beautiful body, and immediately she felt her hackles rise.“You, you… what are you doing?”“What am I doing?” Liam held a first-aid kit in his hands, “What do you think I’m doing?”Anna glanced down at her arm, the bandages were open and unwrapped, did he change he
Early the next morning, Anna was still deeply asleep, but she was rudely awakened by the ring of her phone, she fumbled around and grabbed her phone.“…who is it?”Nina’s agitated voice drifted from across the phone, “Anna, come to SN quick, I have good news for you!”“What good news?” Anna rubbed her eyes sleepily. “Our proposal has been approved!” Nina shouted happily.“What? Approved?” Anna sat up in surprise, all traces of sleep gone.“This morning, Mr. Ackman sent an email to the company, personally approving the proposal! He even gave us a special reward, come quick!”Anna was so happy she could dance on the spot! She jumped off the bed, she thought Liam was home but the huge house was empty, his form was nowhere to be seen.“It’s still so early, and he already left!”Anna was slightly disappointed, but in the blink of an eye, she rushed into the bathroom to prepare for the day and rushed to SN as fast as possible.Nina was waiting for her at the entrance. At the sight of her, s
Everyone looked towards Anna.“Anna Hamilton is pretty daring; how could she sell the sample? That’s considered cheating! She’ll be kicked out!”“She’s also taking a risk, what if it doesn’t sell? Then she can’t earn a single cent!”“Anna Hamilton is the successor of the Lincoln Group, their main businesses lie in advertising and entertainment. Which advertising company wouldn’t give her some extra leeway? With a word, many of them would give her their money willingly and buy her samples.”“No wonder she earned so much money.”“Even so, she’s the top of the class, our designs are nothing compared to hers!”“It’s still cheating!”Many of her classmates started to look at her disdainfully, requesting for Olivia Finch to punish Anna and Nina.Olivia glanced towards Anna, “Hamilton, did you cheat?”Anna frowned, “What’s considered cheating?”“…”“…”The crowd was silent for a moment and then burst into roaring laughter, “She doesn’t even know what’s considered cheating, that’s just ridicul
Anna’s lips curved into a smile, eyes alive with the fire of hope, looking at Jennifer unblinkingly.“Jennifer, the person who cheated, is you!”“What are you saying?!” Jennifer was so angry her tone climbed a notch.Anna laughed and walked towards her, her voice calm and steady, so all her classmates could hear her.“To earn a high salary, you worked as a chest model at a lingerie company!”Their surroundings exploded in a cacophony of noises. “She’s the daughter of the Wurst family, a socialite through and through. How could she be a chest model, just to place first!”Jennifer blushed till the tips of her ears were red, “Anna Hamilton! Shut up! Who… I never did that!”“I have photos as proof, they’re original, not photoshopped. It shows your face clearly!” Anna raised her phone up high.Her classmates’ eyes shone brightly, “Let me see, let me see!”“Send it to the class group, we can all share it!”Nina laughed, “That’s right Anna, send it to us! We want to see what she’s hiding und
“What photos?” Anna was confused.Jennifer screamed in fury, “Anna Hamilton, don’t play dumb in front of me!”Anna finally realized, “You’re talking about the photos of you modeling as a chest model?”“Where did the photos come from? The advertising company promised to keep it a secret! Besides, originals like this would never be circulated to the public!” Jennifer glared at Anna like she wanted to kill her if she could.Anna laughed, “That’s true, you’re the pearl of the Wurst family, if the photos were circulated, you’d be ruined!”“That’s right, everyone will be thinking whether your family has fallen? For you to take on work like this to earn money.” Nina added. “Anna Hamilton, where did the photos come from?!” Jennifer shouted in anger.“Shush, lower your voice, people might hear you. You’re the one who’ll be embarrassed, I don’t mind at all.” Anna faked concern and put her finger on her lips in a shushing motion. Jennifer was about to explode at any minute.“You’re still not ans
Anna arrived at Fitzrovia Hills on time at 5 pm, Liam’s mansion.Even though she didn’t know what he wanted this time, but it was all for the best. She had something she wanted to say to him.When she rang his doorbell, she was initially worried he would eat her up like dessert but after the past few days, she wasn’t so worried anymore.He seemed to defy her expectations; he didn’t just want her to fulfill his physical needs.Unexpectedly, the door to the mansion was merely pushed closed and opened with a light touch. She entered the mansion to find the room completely quiet. There was no noise at all, only the sunlight filtered through the windows and landed on the black floorboards, reflecting warmth.She called out quietly. “Mr. Ackman?”There was no reply.She walked further inside, “Mr. Ackman?”Once again, there was no reply.When she was approaching the bedroom, the door behind her slammed shut, and she was enveloped in a hug from behind. Immediately a cool kiss landed on her
Anna was determined to go against Liam.Liam pointed at his cheek innocently and said, “You kissed me, you must take responsibility.”Anna almost vomited blood, “I’ve been kissed by you countless times, why don’t you take responsibility?”“I did!”“When? Where? I didn’t see you doing so!”“You’re so heartless, what can you see!”“Hmph! Excuses!” Anna pursed her lips, turning her face to the side.Liam stared at her full, pursed lips, and swallowed, “If you do this again, I…”Anna could feel the changes in his body, she hurriedly changed her expression and said to him sternly, “I’m serious! I want to use my own abilities, and gain my rightful place as number one! I don’t want anyone thinking I cheated and took the easy way out; I also don’t want to feel any traces of guilt when I finally make it.”“Besides…” Anna lowered her eyes, long lashes fluttering, “The reward I got this time, I didn’t win fair and square. Although the proposal that was approved in the end was a completely new ide
Early the next morning, Anna was once again rudely awakened by her ringing phone.She was fast asleep, initially planning to sleep as long as possible on her rest day. She cursed the person who disturbed the sweet dreams and so her tone when she picked up the call was rude and angry. “Who the hell is it? What do you want, calling at such an ungodly hour!”“Anna, how can you still be sleeping! Get up, the assembly is at 9 am!” Nina’s anxious voice sounded from the other side of the phone.“What nonsense are you saying? Today is our rest day!”“They changed the date all of a sudden, the final assessment is being held today!”“What?”Anna raised her leg and kicked at the space beside her thinking she would kick Liam, but instead, there was nothing beside her but pillows and blankets. Liam was nowhere to be seen.Anna sat up immediately, the space beside her was empty. She rubbed her eyes sleepily, “Nina, you’re sure I didn’t hear you wrongly?”“No!”“But isn’t today our rest day, or did
Chapter 860 The EndThree years went by. Liam held a press conference and announced earth-shattering news."All my properties will be transferred to Anna." This news made a sensation in the whole city, which shocked Anna."I object it."After Anna got off work and went back home, she walked into Liam's study, emphasizing every word. "I won't accept a single cent of your properties! My own company is very big now. I don’t lack money."Liam frowned unhappily and said coldly, "This is my love for you." "I only need this one." Anna held tightly the diamond necklace that Liam asked her to design, a satisfied expression. Liam looked at the diamond necklace and smiled."This is yours. This is designed for my beloved woman."Anna blushed and glared at him, "You kept it a secret at that time. You are so cunning!""I want to give you a surprise!" Liam gently held Anna's shoulder and was about to kiss her when a clear voice rang at the door."Mommy, Daddy, what are you doing?
Chapter 859 Will Be HappyUp to now, Sherry still remembered that Michael was totally drunk and called Nina's name for the whole night after he proposed to Tania successfully.Seeing that Michael was so sad, Sherry and Michael's father were worried about Michael.Sherry and Michael's father discussed it in private. Since Michael was so sad, they would better fulfill his wish."It doesn't matter for us to publicize what happened in the past. Your father and I don't care about it as long as you are happy."Sherry stroked Michael's cheek gently. Her tone was filled with love. "You're our only child... We were worried that you would estrange from us if you knew that we were not your birth parents, but you have known about it for many years. You are still so filial, obedient and excellent. We are very glad...""I'm Nina's aunt. Of course, I hope she will be happy. So do you, my dear son.""But what outsiders will say about Dad and you?" Michael was reluctant to publicize these things
Chapter 858 Pretending to Be Happy All the Time"I know that you love Michael very much. Since you love each other deeply, why do you separate because of misunderstanding?"Tania looked at Nina with tears in her eyes.Nina took a step back in shock, "What are you saying? Impossible!""You are no blood relations at all... Maybe I misheard. But that's what I heard at that time. If you don't believe me, you can ask him about it.""Michael was worried that if the news that he wasn't the biological child of the Hart family was exposed, it would affect Dean Hart's reputation... That's why he didn't dare to mention it. He could only separate from you and hide his secret..."Tania choked while saying, "Actually, I really love Michael. I really don't want to be separated from him... Am I stupid? If I pretend that I don't know, could I be with him?"Tania's eyes were red from crying, "But if I don't tell you about it, I would be really sad. I think I've done something really bad...""I
Chapter 857 I Have No Place in His Heart By the time Ethan knew about it, Anna had been sent to hospital by Liam. Anna choked smoke and was in a coma now. Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time, and she was fine now. When Ethan visited Anna at the hospital, Liam was feeding Anna chicken noodle soup. "The doctor said you have to eat something lighter." Liam said gently. Anna was unhappy and pouted, while she still looked sexy and charming with her eyes dropping. "That doesn't mean excessively light food, right?" "Well, chicken noodle soup does have very little chicken and noodles. If you are recovering well today, I will put more chicken and noodles in the soup for you tomorrow." Liam took the spoon, gently blew at it and carefully placed it before Anna's lips. Anna had a mouthful, and then her eyes swept over the small table next to her. Liam immediately sent some appetizer to Anna's mouth, "This is also what I had the cook prepare specially for you, I
Chapter 856 It's My FaultThe yellow-haired man was coaxed to drink a few glasses of red wine and finally got tired of waiting.Seeing him walk towards her slowly, Anna backed away in fear."Can you wait a minute? I want to know who wants to ruin me. Can you tell me?"The yellow-haired man sneered. He grabbed her shoulder and dragged her towards the round bed behind him."I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"Anna was pinned down by the man.At that moment, Anna's heart was beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest."Let go of me. You hurt me..." Anna tried hard to struggle."Can you be gentle? I'm so painful..."The yellow-haired man was about to kiss her neck when Anna kicked him away with all her might.The yellow-haired man's eyes widened with pain, "How dare you kick me? You've been lying to me! Fuck!""Don't touch me." Anna widened her eyes in horror and in a cold sweat."Aren't you afraid I'll get back at you when I get out?"Th
Chapter 855 You Know How to Have Fun!Anna was so terrified that she hurriedly put her arms around her chest to protect herself.Someone started tearing her clothes. She kept shaking her head and shouted, "Let go of me... If you dare to touch me, I will make you pay a heavy price...""Ah...""Aren't you afraid that Liam will kill you? If he finds me, he won't let you guys go!!!""You'd better let me go now!""Don't scare me. Don't you think I really dare to touch you?" The yellow-haired man had someone bring the pills, "Make her take the pills quickly. Then she'll listen to me."...Liam was searching for Anna anxiously."Have you found Anna?" Liam was driving while calling James."Not yet! There's no surveillance near the park!" James was also distressed.Liam had an extremely cold face, with a crazy and tyrannical aura around him. He said, "No matter what method we use, we must find her now!""Okay! Mr. Ackman!"James hurriedly ordered people in the whole city to search
Chapter 854 I Have Got Nothing But MoneyAnna huddled herself up in a corner.She could only feel safe in this way.There was another woman at the place. The man with yellow hair was forcing the woman to shoot an adult movie.The woman was struggling and crying like crazy. Suddenly she fell to her knees in front of the yellow-haired man, crying and begging him."No, I can't do this... I really can't.... Please let me go... At least we had been together. You can't do this to me..."The yellow-haired man kicked her ruthlessly, and the woman was lying on the ground in pain and couldn't get up."Bah! I slept with you for one night, and you want to bargain with me? Get the hell into the room and do your job!"The woman huddled herself up, and she cried more desperately.The man apparently lost his patience. He picked up an iron bar and struck the woman cruelly.In an instant, the woman's shrill cries and pleas resounded throughout the empty and dilapidated factory.Anna shuddered
Chapter 853 Why Didn't He Come to Rescue Her?Anna's mouth was covered, and then she was put into a sack."Let go of me!" She struggled violently but was dazed by the people behind her with Ecstasy.When she opened her eyes again, she found it was so dark that she couldn't see the surroundings clearly."Are you awake? Get ready for work."Suddenly a man with yellow hair walked up to Anna and threw a book into her arms.Anna unconsciously took it and looked around nervously.The place seemed to be an abandoned and shabby factory."Where is it?""This is our studio." The yellow-haired man stared closely at Anna and smirked.Anna looked around defensively. She found some men in the corner were seriously reading the book in their hands.Anna also looked down at the book in her hand. Surprisingly, it was a script!But she had a bad feeling that something terrible was going to happen."I didn't promise to work with any studio." Anna was uncomfortable for the yellow-haired man ke
Chapter 852 Why Isn't Mommy at Home?A complete family... Anna almost stayed up all night because of what Gemma said. Who were the members of her family?She had thought that her family members were her father, her mother, Nicole, Chloe, her grandpa, Grandmother Dawson, Bryan...And Liam. Finally, it was Ethan.These people all appeared in her life, but then they all gradually separated from her.Now that the whole Hamilton family left only Gemma and her.Who else could be called her family?She slowly picked up the marriage certificate with Liam. Both she and Liam looked strange in the photo on the marriage certificate. In this photo, her expression looked like she was forced, much like the one on their first marriage certificate about four years ago.Their story seemed to have been repeated all over again.A few years later, they were back where they started.Anna touched the photo gently, she could clearly feel that Liam had been taking good care of her in recent d
