“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.
Nina felt her scalp tingling with fear at Liam’s dark gaze.Mr. Ackman’s aura was too strong!His eyes were like two sharp blades at her throat, causing her teeth to tremble in fear.She shrank backwards and chuckled, not knowing how to answer.Michael looked at the two of them in confusion, “What happened? Nina, what did you lie to him about?”Nina cleared her throat, croaking out a laugh, “No…nothing, hah, uhm…Mr. Ackman must be here to see you, you guys go ahead, I’ll head back in and accompany my mom.”With that, she turned and ran away before Michael could say anything.Nina returned to the ward, hurriedly took out her phone and sent Anna a message.“Mrs. Ackman, save me!!!”When Anna received Nina’s message, she was at Jamie’s bar, sharing a drink with him.The words ‘Mrs. Ackman’ gave her a shock, then she immediately called Nina and realized Liam had found out about Nina and Michael’s relationship.During the conversation, Nina kept calling her Mrs. Ackman, Anna was torn, she d
Michael sat in front of Liam for almost half an hour, but Liam remained silent.Michael was confused, so he attempted to start the conversation, “My girlfriend is cute, isn’t she?”Michael could guess Liam wanted to discuss Nina with him. Liam glanced at him calmly and lowered his gaze to the already cool cup of coffee in front of him.Was Nina really that innocent, or actually deeply manipulative?Even he trusted her lies!Anna that stupid woman, how could she be friends with someone like her? He had to warn her.Michael looked at the cup of coffee too, and said confusedly, “Just tell me.”“How much do you know about her?” Liam glanced at him.Michael froze, why would an uncaring block of ice like him suddenly care about his personal matters?“Why are you asking me this?”Liam stared at him, gaze deep and meaningful, but said nothing.“Alright, I think I know what you want to say. Don’t worry, I’m not so reckless, I know what I’m doing.”“Nina’s mother is gravely ill, she only did it
“Jamie, I’ve seen him before,” Anna suddenly said.Jamie snapped his head towards her, “Where? How did you see him when even I couldn’t?”“During my practical assessment, at Liam’s company.”“What?! He… the person he likes is Liam Ackman, the man you’re with?”Jamie was stunned and forgot to lower his voice, a sharp voice drifting straight into Wilson’s ears.Wilson’s expression darkened like an impending storm. His gaze shot over at them and landing on Anna.She was dead. Anna sighed under her breath.She laughed dryly, waved her fingers, “Hi, what a coincidence, you’re having a drink here too. Enjoy yourself, the owner is a wonderful man. You can even stay the night if you’re too drunk, he’ll accompany you.”Even at a moment like this, she didn’t forget to help out her friend, what a good friend she was.The air around Wilson was ice-cold. He approached her step by side, aquamarine eyes shooting daggers of ice at her.“You’re with him?”To be honest, Wilson had long since known that
Anna looked embarrassed.She was pissed. Her face turned red, like an apple ripe for the plucking.Relive your ass!That was her first time. He had just taken it like that, and he even had the cheek to leave her a cheque! Now, she commended herself for the words she left on the cheque, it was the easiest revenge she had ever taken.She glared at him furiously and murmured, “What’s there to relive? We were just there by chance…”“What did you say?” Liam looked at her meaningfully.Anna gritted her teeth and said, “I said, this bar is run by my good friend, of course I can come here. What about you Mr. Ackman? I am a woman, but you’re a man.”She looked at the men whose eyes were glowing in his direction and smiled slyly.“Look at them, they look like they’re stripping you alive.”Her words made him uncomfortable.She was getting bolder and bolder by the day!He turned back and swept his eyes over the crowd, an ice-cold gaze freezing any adventurous suitors in their seats, bowing their
Anna’s eyes were bright with tears as she glared at him defiantly. Looking at his face that was handsome enough to drive women crazy, a playful and confident smile hanging on his thin lips, she lost her anger for a moment.But only for a moment.Because no matter how deeply in love she was with him, he didn’t love her at all.Liam turned towards her and met her watery eyes, his heart squeezed in his chest.Anna met his dark eyes, the flush on her cheeks extending to her neck.She bowed her head, smoothed her hair back to hide her awkwardness.Liam opened his thin lips, and spat out a few words, “Call me your hubby.”“…”“If you don’t, I’ll eat you up right here, you know I can, we have an agreement.”This damn man.She must have committed countless sins in her past life to be cursed with meeting him.She could’ve had a happy life as Miss Hamilton, but she was tricked into signing the stupid agreement with him.Since he didn’t like her, why would he do this to her?And yet she couldn’t
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
