Chloe was so angry her face turned pale.In her wildest dreams, she never expected Kelly would be here to do Anna’s makeup.She was the bride, the main star of the show, why was the master doing Anna’s makeup instead?She was even asked to leave the room, to empty the space for a bridesmaid like Anna.Chloe was furious.By then, two of Kelly’s assistants had already approached her and thrown her out of the room.Chloe wanted to scream at the top of her lungs, but many of her relatives were now in her home, so she had to maintain her composure in front of her guests.She could only suppress the anger in her chest and led the few makeup artists back to her room.Nicole felt uneasy the whole time.She took the chance whilst Daniel was entertaining guests and slipped into her daughter’s room.“My daughter is getting married today, all the suffering I’ve gone through my whole life has been worth it. At least I got my daughter a good husband.Nicole looked at Chloe in her white gown, tears w
It was impossible for Anna to share the same car as Bryan.She didn’t want to be the source of gossip in town and she desperately wanted to avoid Chloe’s inevitable ridicule and sarcastic comments.She only planned to endure it until the wedding was over, then her duties would be completed and she would no longer have anything left to do with Chloe.Chloe could enjoy her role as Mrs. Dawson and Anna herself would happily remain as the only Miss Hamilton.But Bryan clung to her tightly. “Anna, Chloe is pregnant now, you can also take care of her in the car! I need to drive so I can’t do it.”His reason sounded logical and plausible, but it also put Anna in a hard spot.If she said no, that would mean they weren’t as close as what her father portrayed them to be.A moment ago, her father was just bragging to his guests about how close the two sisters were, that Anna was sad her sister was getting married and leaving her house, he even lied that Anna shed tears over Chloe!But if she sai
No one could guess what Chloe wanted to clarify in public.But Anna had a gut feeling that Chloe was going to drag her down to clean up her own image.Sure enough.Anna smiled helplessly and innocently at the guests seated beneath the stage, the flashing light bulbs of the journalists.“To be honest, Bryan and I never betrayed Anna. Anna was only engaged to Bryan because to strengthen the bond between our families, they didn’t love each other.”Bryan whispered under his breath, trying to stop Chloe, “Don’t talk nonsense at a time like this, shut up and get off the stage with me.”Of course, Chloe ignored his attempts.In front of the crowd, Bryan didn’t dare to act out or argue with her.Chloe continued saying into the microphone, “I am the one Bryan really loves, we have been dating secretly for a long time, we just kept it a secret from our families!Anna knows about us, and she often created opportunities for us to meet each other.Our relationship was exposed when journalists photo
Seeing Chloe’s terrified expression, Anna was delighted.She was always worried about the consequences and never returned Chloe’s attacks head-on.Lisa was right, she was too soft, and could never take the necessary action.In Liam’s words, she was only giving her enemies a chance to attack her.“Anna, of course I’m not afraid of a mere servant. I’ve been standing throughout the ceremony, I don’t feel well, I need to rest.”With that, Chloe clutched onto Bryan and headed for the steps.But the journalists stopped her.“Mrs. Dawson, please explain yourself before leaving.”“That’s right, tell us the truth.”The reporters held out their microphones towards Chloe.“Was the servant the one who was fired by your family for causing Miss Anna to lose her eyesight?”“Do you share some unforgivable secret with that servant?”“Why did your expression change the minute the servant was mentioned?”Chloe panicked.“I have no idea who that servant is! How can she be related to me in any manner? Don’
Anna hugged Liam from behind, pressing her face tightly into his broad back.At this moment, she felt like her heartbeat and breathing had become one with his.She curled her lips, smiling like a happy little woman.“Because we have an agreement.”Liam’s good mood was instantly splintered into pieces, he pushed her hands away.“It looks like the terms need some amendment.”Anna hid her hands behind her back, a smile blossoming across her face like the first flowers of spring.“Bring it on, I’ll find a way to meet you match for match!”Liam cocked his head and glared at her, “You are only insolent to me.”"Because you are different from them," Anna said seriously."Because of our agreement!" Liam roared.Anna nodded, “Exactly! Because of our agreement, no matter how I treat you, we have an agreement, you’ll never fire me!”“Don’t forget, it’s only valid for a year!”With that, Anna poked her tongue out at him mischievously, “Do you think you’re losing out? But don’t worry, I won’t take
“Mr. Ackman, Mr. Ackman, wait! Don’t leave!”Daniel rushed to stop Liam’s car.Liam frowned, his voice cold, “What is it?”At his dagger-like gaze, Daniel like his chest was being shredded to pieces. He almost blurted ‘it’s nothing’ unconsciously and let them go.But he clenched his fists, finding some of his pride as the elder of the two, “It’s late now and Anna is exhausted, we should take her home.”Liam’s brows screwed even tighter together.“Mr. Hamilton, are you saying you do not allow me to bring Anna to my company to report for work?”Of course, Daniel didn’t dare say no. He prayed and hoped that Anna would work as an intern at the Ackman Group and delay her return to the Lincoln Group.This way, he could buy more time to plant more of his men in the company.But things didn’t progress the way he expected them to.He never expected Liam and Anna’s relationship to develop into something else entirely. Liam was famous for being gay!What happened? Why would he fall for a woman
“What are you two doing!”Nina and Michael turned back to see Amelia standing at the entrance to his office, eyes widened in fury, pointing at the two of them, infuriated.Nina pouted, muttering under her breath, “You are highly sought after indeed, in just a moment’s time someone is here for you.”Michael felt a headache coming on at the sight of Amelia. Nina’s teasing comment made him want to dig a hole and bury himself in it.He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose awkwardly. He just commented offhandedly, he never expected it to come true so quickly!Karma was a bitch indeed. In the space of a few quick breaths, Amelia strode over in front of them, her heels clicking on the floor.Noticing their laced fingers, she asked him questioningly, “Michael, who is she?”Amelia recognized Nina, she met her when Anna was hospitalized.She wanted to know who she was to him!Michael was irritated by her questioning attitude as if he had wronged her. His voice turned cold, “Miss Dawson
Bruce struggled with his wheelchair and called out Chloe’s name.Chloe was ready to head home with Bryan in tow but turned around anxiously at the sound of her name.Seeing his face splattered with bruises, she sucked in a cold breath.“Who is he?” Bryan frowned and looked at Bruce.Chloe hurriedly tugged at his sleeve to leave.“What’s wrong, Chloe? Who is he? Why does he know you?”Chloe grew uneasy, her heart raced in her chest trying to think of an excuse to feed Bryan.“Bryan dear, have you forgotten? News about us has splattered across the newspapers! Everyone in Johannes City knows us!”Bryan still had his head turned towards Bruce.Because Bruce was struggling fervently in the wheelchair, even urging the pushers to push him faster to catch up with Chloe.Somehow, Bryan felt there was something weird about the man littered with injuries.But he couldn’t place his finger on the exact reason why.He didn’t know this man at all, and his bruise-littered faces didn’t seem familiar.
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
