Anna looked at Chloe’s snow-white face and waved the bracelet on her arm.“My bracelet is great, not only can I record sounds, it can record videos too! Let me take a look at my video just now.”Anna connected her bracelet to her phone and exclaimed, “Oh, I do have a video! See, I put the bracelet in the drawer and went back to my room, I never touched your bracelet.”Chloe’s face was as pale as a ghost, “Anna don’t try and pay your tricks on me! You took the bracelet!”“Chloe, look at yourself, you look so guilty! I have evidence to prove I didn’t take your bracelet, what evidence do you have to prove you are not framing me?”Chloe glared at her coldly, “Anna! Don’t try and fool me with your flowery words!”“If you don’t believe me, watch the video.” Anna handed her phone to Chloe.Chloe was starting to panic. she swallowed, eyes flitting everywhere.Anna took her phone back.To be honest, she was lying. She didn’t have the video showing her placing the bracelet back into the drawer.
Amelia glared at Chloe angrily.What’s wrong with her?Why was she pretending to be the nice guy when she tried to help her?“Grandma, I will look for the bracelet for you!” Amelia turned and headed outside but she was stopped by her. “Hold on! Where do you think you are going? Heading for a fight? How unladylike!” Grandmother Dawson scolded sternly.“Grandma…”Amelia stomped her feet on the floor, “Why do we still care about our image at this point? That bracelet belongs to the Dawson family, how can we just let it go like this?”“Be quiet!” Grandma Dawson glared at Amelia.Amelia did not dare say anything more although she wasn’t satisfied with the way things were handled.It was clear that Chloe wanted to backstab Anna. Even though Grandma did not fall for the trick, they should not give away their heirloom so easily.Chloe kept blaming Anna while using her baby as leverage. There was nothing Grandma Dawson could do to accuse Chloe.Chloe peeked at Amelia and got a glare in return.
Grandma Dawson held Anna’s hand and motioned for her to sit by her side.“Anna, it has been so long since you last came and visited me.”“I was occupied with my practical assessment previously. Here I am straight after the exam is over.”“About the missing bracelet, sorry for causing you trouble.” Anna still felt bad about the incident.Amelia was angry when she returned and saw how happily Grandma and Anna were chatting.Her grandma was never this kind to her before.Amelia hated Anna deeply from the depths of her heart.Both she and Anna were from rich families, but Anna always got what she wanted unlike her.Anna turned her head and faced Amelia. Amelia quickly looked the other way.Anna smiled gently, her long eyelashes fanning downwards.Although Grandma Dawson was old with bad eyesight now, she knew what Anna was thinking.She held Anna’s hand and patted it lightly, smiling reassuringly all the while.“Don’t bother yourself about it. It’s just a bracelet.” Grandma Dawson said.“I
Anna returned home.Chloe and Nicole were being careful.Anna did not say anything. She wanted to see what the two of them would do next. Chloe’s eyes were filled with hatred when she looked at Anna. She wanted to kill her so badly.Anna intentionally raised her eyes to meet Chloe’s. She was fearless and even nonchalantly smiled at Chloe. “Chloe, you seem to be in a bad mood for losing the bracelet.” Anna was being sarcastic and she knew it.Both Anna and Chloe were clear about what happened to the bracelet.Chloe did not bother to pretend in front of Anna. She caressed her stomach and said sweetly, “The baby in my belly is my trump card.”Chloe was referring to the incident where grandma did not ask to investigate deeper after knowing who lost the bracelet.It did not matter who grandma liked more. In the end, Anna still had to take the blame.Anna laughed, “There is only a limited amount of luck for everyone. Save some luck for your future. If not, you won’t be so lucky next time.”
Anna changed and went outside.Liam’s loud honking had awakened everyone in the mansion.Daniel was wearing his pajamas and stood beside Nicole near the bedroom door. They looked at Anna who was rushing downstairs.“Where are you going, Anna?” Daniel asked.“Dad, I… have something to take care of.”Nicole interrupted their conversation, “How can there be an emergency in the middle of the night? It’s too dangerous for you to go outside now!”“Yeah, Anna. Who’s the noisy fellow outside?” Daniel went downstairs too. Anna quickly came up with an excuse, “It’s Mr. Ackman! That’s because Ackman Group just received a big case. He needs me… to go on a business trip with him.”“Business trip?” Daniel frowned.“Yes! Outstation! That’s why he urged me to pack my things and get ready to leave, in the middle of the night!”Chloe also came downstairs. She smirked, “I can’t believe Mr. Ackman is so willing to train new employees! How can there be no other employee, in a big company like Ackman Group
Nicole kept trying to chase Bruce away.But he was a bum, standing in front of the entrance and refused to leave. “I told you, leave now!” Nicole was starting to panic.“Come on, don’t say that. I was just worried my five million dollars ran away somewhere and came to check on it.” He laughed cheekily.“There are two more days till the deadline, why are you in a rush? I promised I will pay you and I mean it!Leave now! If anyone sees you here and I get in trouble, you won’t get a single cent!”Nicole looked around nervously, afraid someone would see him.He not only refused to leave, he even peeked into the house, sighed, and shook his head, “Nicole, Nicole, Nicole, you sure are living the good life there, aren’t you? Five million is too little, I should’ve asked you for more. Tsk tsk, look at your garden. How grand is that!”“Bruce Walker, you’re just too much!” Nicole gritted her teeth in anger.Bruce swept his eyes across all the items in the garden, eyes shining with greed.“You d
Anna followed Bruce for a long while, but couldn’t find out anything about him. First, he went to the ATMs for some cash, weighed the thick wad of cash in his hands, sucked on his cigarette, then slipped into a club for some fun.Anna wanted to go in, but all of the men that went in didn’t look like kind, model citizens, and her footsteps faltered.She dialed Jamie’s number, “Yes, it’s a club called the Rolling Stones!”“My dear, that’s not somewhere you should be. Don’t go in there! It’s filled with gamblers and drug addicts, the moment you step in, you can’t leave until you’ve left an arm or a leg behind.”At his words, Anna felt a layer of cold sweat forming on her back.Who knew the smiley, kind and friendly middle-aged man would be a drug addict!“I’m not going in there, I just wanted to know, it’s nothing… I’ll drop by for a drink when I have the time, bye.”Annie hurriedly ended the call, avoiding his questions.Anna clutched the steering wheel tightly, throwing a few glances t
Anna stared at the exquisitely wrapped clothing boxes on the coffee table, confusion was written all over her face.What did this mean?Was he here to send her the gowns as a gift?Even if he was, then why? What was the meaning of all this?Anna was thoroughly confused. Daniel smiled and said, “Anna, Mr. Ackman is so thoughtful. This is an honor to you!”“What?” Anna was befuddled.Chloe shot jealous glares at her, a forced and insincere smile on her face, “Anna is so lucky!”Anna looked at Liam.He was wearing an immaculately-ironed tight and well-fitting suit, he always looked meticulous, but only Anna knew how messy he was.His cuffs were slightly rolled up, revealing a muscular forearm, making him look extra sexy.Meanwhile, his long fingers were busy tapping on his phone, looking at her with vague eyes. Anna felt like she was drowning in his deep gaze, she rushed to avoid his eyes. No matter where he appeared, this incredibly handsome man looked like the personification of a be
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
