Anna could not help but despair when she heard all the things the people in the ward said.Anna did not expect to see that she had no one who genuinely cared about her.Nonetheless, she tried her best to maintain a faint smile as she presented an exquisite-looking box to Grandmother Dawson.“Grandma, I left in a hurry last night and forgot my phone. That’s why I didn’t contact any of you. This is a birthday present I got for you. See if you like it, Grandma.”When Amelia saw Anna trying to get on Grandmother Dawson’s good side, she instantly sneered, “Anna Hamilton, do you think Grandma will forgive you just because you got her a gift? There’s no gift in the world that the Dawson family can’t afford, so don’t try to curry favor with us!”Liam’s cold eyes darted toward Amelia, making her hold her breath in fear.His gaze was like an invincible pair of hands choking at Amelia’s throat. No one heard a squeak from her after that.Nicole stared eagerly at the antique box in Anna’s ha
Bryan’s arms were wrapped around Anna.He showed affection toward her in front of everyone to put Grandmother Dawson at ease with their relationship, assuring her that the incident with Ryan did not create any lasting impact. After all, he could not risk Grandmother Dawson calling off the marriage.Secondly, he wanted to shut Amelia up as Grandmother Dawson was inclined to believe her if she were to spill the secret between him and Chloe.Lastly, it served as a warning for Chloe to take it down a notch and stop fanning the flames. That day’s incident would not escalate further than this.“Anna, next time, ask me to go with you. It’s dangerous for a woman to wander out alone at night. I’m your fiance. You can share your burdens with me.”Anna could see the frost in Liam’s eyes. Liam stared at hers as if he were about to gobble them up at any second.She tried to push Byran away, yet he responded by hugging her even tighter. He even brought his lips close to her ear and whispered s
Bryan tried his best to hide the hostility in his expression. He smiled as he exited his car and opened the door for Anna.“Anna, let me send you home,” he offered in a gentle tone.Anna simply glared at him. “No thanks. I’ll stay here and take care of Grandma.”Having said that, she glanced at Amelia then went back into the hospital.Bryan subtly clenched his teeth. His eyes were filled with melancholy.Amelia burst out with laughter. “Oh, this is just too funny! Bryan, it looks like your fiancee isn’t very fond of you at all!”Bryan accusingly pointed at Amelia. “You better keep your mouth shut! Otherwise, I might ‘accidentally’ reveal all the shady things you’ve been doing in private!”Amelia’s expression changed abruptly. The gaze from her beautiful eyes turned piercingly sharp.“Bryan Dawson, I dare you!”Bryan shrugged. “What am I supposed to be fear? As you said, an illegitimate child like me would surely do humiliating things!”Amelia did not dare bicker with Bryan an
Bryan grabbed Anna’s arm. His stance clearly demonstrated his desire to confront her.Anna lifted her head and gazed down the long corridor. Light penetrated the window at the end, shining through the fog in her heart and illuminating the agonizing darkness within.Nonetheless, there were still some things that Anna was not ready to face head-on.She was afraid that once the truth was out in the open, she would not be able to pretend that she did not care.“Anna, if you have something to say, just say it. Your cold shoulders are making me uncomfortable.”Anna felt her heart being squeezed. Bryan did not even bother pretending anymore.She took a deep breath, turned her head, and smiled at him. “I just had LASIK surgery, so I’m not feeling well. Have I been neglecting you? I’m so sorry for that.”Of course, Bryan could hear the detachment in her tone. Even so, when faced with her tantalizing smile, he could not think of anything to say and simply smiled.“Alright, that’s good to
Bryan returned to Grandmother Dawson’s ward.He was met with Grandmother Dawson’s stern gaze the moment he entered.The nurse and caregiver quickly bowed to her and excused themselves from the room, leaving the room to Bryan and Grandmother Dawson.“Grandma…”Bryan greeted timidly. He hung his head low, like a child who had made a mistake.“Bryan, you’re too reckless!” Grandmother Dawson scolded.“How could you do something so rash! Do you not have one bit of control over your anger!”“Grandma, Ryan Sanchez was found naked in Anna’s room! As her fiance, how could I have kept my composure!“At that time, I… I could only feel the wrath burning within me! There was no way I could control it!”“You’re too hot-headed! In a situation like that, lashing out will only make it seem more certain that Anna had done something horrible to you! You’re only making a fool of yourself!” Grandmother Dawson yelled.“Grandma, I’m a man!”“Apart from that, you are the grandson of the Dawson fami
Anna arrived at home.Daniel was sitting on the sofa, glaring at her with an infuriated expression as she entered the house.“You still have the dignity to come home?” Daniel fumed.His ear-piercingly sharp and booming voice reverberated across the vast living room.Nicole and Chloe were standing beside Daniel. Even they were hanging their heads low, trembling in fear. They stood obediently like women who did not even dare to speak loudly in front of the man of the house.“Danny, don’t be mad. Anna has already explained herself to Madam Dawson. It’s not her fault… It’s not like she had done anything improper.”“That’s right, Daddy. Don’t be mad at Anna. She’s been through a lot today. Besides, there was no way that Anna invited a man into her room in the Dawson family mansion. She’s not that kind of person!”Both Chloe and Nicole were trying to soothe Daniel’s anger, pretending as if they were trying their best to defend Anna.However, it further stoked Daniel’s anger. “Who do
Bryan arrived at the Hamilton family home bright and early in the morning. Just as before, he would come bearing 99 red roses as a gift each day. Anna lay on her bed, not wanting to bother heading out to meet him. She did not want to see Bryan. Every time she saw him, she felt as if there was a thorn in her heart. The song in her bracelet began to play. It was the sound of children singing ‘Jingle Bells’, reminding her to use her eye drops. She could not help but laugh as she rushed to put on the eye drops. Anna closed her eyes and lay on her bed. Her mood instantly improved as she listened to the cheerful music play.Right at that moment, the doorbell rang.Chloe’s voice rang out from outside her door. “Anna, Bryan is here. Mom and dad have asked you to come down.”Anna did not respond. Instead, she waited for the music to finish playing before she slowly got up and went to wash up.Anna opened the door and stepped out, only to see Chloe’s adorable smiling face.If this
Bryan drove Anna to the hospital. It was supposed to only take 30 minutes to get there but they had still not arrived even though Bryan had been driving for more than an hour.Anna started to feel a little annoyed. She put on her sunglasses to shield her eyes from the intense sunlight streaming in from the windows.“What’s up with you today, Anna?” asked Bryan. He maintained his patient demeanor and warm, sweet smile.“I didn’t sleep well last night.” Anna did not want to speak to Bryan so she leaned against her seat and closed her eyes.Bryan quickly took off his coat and carefully draped it over Anna. “Be careful to not catch a cold,” he said.“I don’t need this. It isn’t chilly,” replied Anna coldly.“Anna, please don’t be like this. I’m only doing this because I care for you.”“Yeah, I know.” Anna responded to his words indifferently then said, “You should focus on driving.” Bryan suddenly braked, bringing the car to a halt. “Anna, I’m going to buy you some fried chicken.
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
