Amelia lifted her shirt over her head.Michael was so furious his face turned purple and hurriedly averting his eyes.“Respect yourself, please!” He shouted.Amelia pursed her lips, slowly taking her seat, pointing to her chest, “My heart aches, I need you to comfort me.Aren’t you a medical genius? Dabbling in every area of medicine, and excelling at it too! You definitely know a bit about cardiology.”Michael was so angry; he felt his chest tightening.How could this woman be so thick-skinned?He was obviously chasing her away, and yet she insisted on staying.Were the Dawsons all so thick-skinned?“Miss Dawson, the cardiology I’m referring to usually requires surgery. We will cut open the heart with a surgical knife and then poke around in it until we find the malfunctioning part and remove it. If it isn’t a clean-cut, blood might just start pouring out, shocking the doctor until his hand slips and the heart falls to the floor, breaking into bloody chunks…”Michael said, voice viol
The night passed in a blur of pain and pleasure for Anna.She only stirred awake when the afternoon sun shined high in the sky. Liam was gone.All that was left beside her were crumpled bedsheets, evidence that he spent the night here. Anna was delighted to see him gone, she jumped off her bed and rushed into the bathroom to clean herself up.Even the pain in her body seemed to lessen instantly, she felt refreshed and comfortable.After she finished her shower, she walked out of the bathroom and saw the empty bed, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.Why did he leave without saying a word?Will it still be the same as before, after sleeping together, days would go by without a single word from him? As if he disappeared into thin air?Although there was an agreement between them, she must make herself available at his beck and call.But deep down, she was still a little down and disappointed.How she wished that they were dating.She was his girlfriend and he was her boyf
“You forget your former boss the moment you finish your assessment?”Ethan Collins!The man who was as gentle as a dove!Anna was pulled back down to earth and said laughingly, “How could I forget Director Collins, you helped Nina and me so much!”“He-he, don’t say that. The two of you did me a huge favor too. How was your competition? Did Mr. Ackman try to make things difficult for you again?”“Yeah, Nina and I are joining the Ackman Group soon.” She purposely avoided answering his last question.“Great, that’s good.”He sounded a little disappointed.But it was gone in an instant, he always sounded calm and easy-going, it was hard to tell his emotions through a phone call.“Right, I called you to ask whether you’d be interested in a design project? The pay is pretty good.”At the mention of good pay, Anna nodded happily.It would be a good opportunity for Nina to earn some extra money. “How long would it take? I need to discuss this with Nina.”“We’ll discuss the specifics in person
Hospital.Anna walked to the entrance to the ward and heard Nina’s bell-like laughter drifting out from the ward.Nina was on vacation today too so she didn’t have to rush to report for work at the Ackman Group. She could use her time to care for her mother.Anna didn’t expect Liam to have such an understanding and humane side to him.She pushed open the door.Melissa was in a very good condition today. She engaged in conversation with Nina, she even smiled and addressed Anna with a wave.Anna smiled and engaged Melissa in small talk, then, Melissa started to lose focus again.She pointed at Anna and said, “Why are you here! Did you come to visit me?”“You’re so lucky, you still look so young, and I’ve aged so much.” Melissa touched her face.Anna frowned in confusion, she wanted to ask Melissa who she mistook her for.Melissa leaned back on the bed carefully, “I’m tired, Miss Lincoln. Take a seat, I’ll chat with you when I wake up.”Miss Lincoln?Anna looked at Nina in shock, but Nina
Anna froze under Nina’s stare.“Because she saw me? It can’t be.” Anna pointed to herself blankly.“But she pointed at me and called me Miss Lincoln.”“Miss Lincoln?” Michael frowned.“Who is she?”Nina shook her head, “I don’t know either, this is the first time Mom has mentioned her.”Michael remained silent for a long moment, then his eyes brightened, “I think I’ve figured out how to treat her.”“How?” Nina looked delighted.“I think this Miss Lincoln is the key to discovering the core of her disease.”“But I don’t know who Miss Lincoln is.”“These few days when the psychiatrist performed psychological profiling on her, he realized there’s a locked-up part of her mind. As long as we can unlock this area, and make her face it head-on, it might be the key for her to achieve full recovery.”Nina was confused, “But what can I do now?"“Nina, think about the words Mrs. Scott said in the garden just now! It sounded like a woman died because of her.”“She blamed the woman’s death on herse
Nicole whispered in her daughter’s ear for a few minutes, and Chloe started laughing happily.“He-he, and I was worried once she entered the Ackman Group, her position in your father’s heart would rise. If this incident sees the light, she will be enveloped in scandal.”Hatred shone in Nicole’s eyes.“By then only your father, the rumors about her in society and amongst the Dawsons would be enough to drown her.”“The past few days, your father has been praising the little bitch non-stop, complimenting her for winning first place and entering the Ackman Group.”“Hmph, who could guess his daughter would commit such a taboo, we’ll see how he’ll praise her after news spreads!”Chloe smiled gleefully and scoffed, “Last night she was throwing her relationship in my face, saying they can be together because they’re not related by blood. We’ll see how long more she can stay this arrogant!”“Hah, blood relations? To rich families like this, pride and honor are what they care about. Once rumors
As soon as she returned home, Anna focused her efforts on producing the design.It was rare of Liam to find the kindness in his heart to grant her a short vacation for a few days, so she didn’t have to go report to work at the Ackman Group immediately. She spent those few days’ time drawing a rough draft of her design.The money they earned from this project would help pay Nina’s mother’s medical bills.That was the only way she could help her now.Anna bit her pen in her mouth, the overhead lights shining above her, she wracked her brain with the ideas for the design and in the meantime took some time off to call Jamie.The project Ethan gave her was about designing an advertisement for luxurious wine. Jamie ran a bar; he would know more about wine than she did.“Tell me, what does red wine symbolize? Some say it symbolizes someone’s virility, the redder it is, the stronger he is.”“But in my eyes, red wine symbolizes charm and seduction! Look at that deep red color. So similar to a
Bryan was indeed busy managing the various affairs of the company, but behind the scenes, he had his own plans.In front of Grandma Dawson and the bunch of old shareholders, he was the fast and reliable future CEO.At the same time, he was busy planting his own men into the company, building his power and influence.After all, when he took over the family, by then he would be the successor to the Dawson family empire. The head of the household.If he didn’t have men loyal to him, he would be suppressed by the other shareholders.However, work was work. A lecherous pervert like him still couldn’t change the habit of fooling around with women. Chloe was pregnant so he could only vent his lust on other women.Of course, after the incident between him and Chloe was exposed, he grew more cautious. He stopped bringing the women back to his villa but frequented hotels instead.In a room.He was naked, him and an equally naked woman enjoying each other’s bodies, engaged in the final act…Unde
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
