"Is it true... what it says? It says that Nina is... She is..."Liam nodded. "It should be true.""But how is this possible? This is so... creepy!"Anna never thought something like this would happen.It was like a plot in a movie, so surprising and shocking.Anna didn't know how Nina would react when she found it out.‘Maybe it was destiny! God let them meet in this way, get to know each other, and even fall in love with each other.’‘However, in fact, God made a joke on them.’‘This, I think, is what people call the trajectory of fate’In fact, even Liam was stunned when he got the result of the investigation.Then, he was grieving for Michael silently in his heart for a moment.Liam rarely got emotional over anything.But this time, what happened with Michael and Nina was so dramatic, so unreal, and yet it actually happened in real life.Anna and Liam both turned their eyes to Michael at the same time. At that moment, there was deep concern and sympathy in their eyes.
The moment Anna arrived at the office the next day, she saw Nina sitting sullenly at her desk and staring vacantly at the computer.Anna walked over and stood behind Nina, looking at the unfinished design on the computer screen."What's wrong? Is there a problem? Let me take a look."Nina dully moved away and leaned on the desk, gazing vacantly at Anna, who was keyboarding.After a few minutes, Anna tilted her head and smiled at Nina."It's done! You can daydream and rest this morning."Nina glanced at the computer and wore a faint smile."This is such a difficult problem, but you solved it so quickly. Anna, you are the best."Anna rubbed Nina's head and said, "After all, my work is not busy at all. Any problems, you can just come to me. I will help you solve it."Nina nodded. "Anna, you are so kind to me."Nina cupped her face in her hands and looked at the prickly pear on her desk. "He once said that I could feel free to ask you for help if I worked as a designer in the com
Chapter 391. Don't Get EmotionalArriving at the restaurant.Nina was still distracted and sullen.Anna pinched her cheeks, "Alright! Let's fill up our stomachs first."Anna ordered a table full of dishes, "Let's celebrate today. We're all officially employed at Ackman Skyhigh Group."Anna raised her glass, and Nina followed suit with a lack of interest.All she wanted to do now was to go back to the hospital and find Michael.To tell him that she regretted it.She really wasn't in the mood to eat now, but seeing Anna's high spirits, she was too embarrassed to spoil the fun.Anna took a sip of wine and put down her glass, ''Look! It's more comfortable to go back to the old place. Familiar environment, familiar boss and familiar campus atmosphere were much better than those moralistic and hypocritical faces in the company.""Especially the signature dish here. I really can't get enough of it. Nina, this steak is your favorite. Have some more."Anna kept trying to enliven the a
Anna told Nina the story she knew about Nina's family."Back then your father and your mother fell in love, but because your grandmother's family, the Baker family, was in trouble and declared bankrupt. So your father abandoned your mother."" At that time your mother was pregnant, and she hoped that your father would save their relationship for her pregnancy""But your father was so determined that he not only forced your mother to abort the baby, but he married his current wife quickly. That was a family marriage.""Your mother was heartbroken. Although the Baker family was bankrupt, it is still an eminent family of intellectuals. They are absolutely not allowed to get pregnant before getting married. They also forced your mother to have an abortion.""Your mom had no choice. She escaped from the family several times, but she was caught back. Later she threatened the Baker family with her life and only then could your grandfather not bear to force her to death, so he broke off the fa
Anna walked along the sidewalk by the campus. It was a familiar path. On both sides of the road, there were grand oak trees.The streetlamps on the sides shed a dim light, stretching her shadow.These familiar scenes caused a sense of sorrow in her heart.Now she had already started to work. A few days later, it would be the graduation ceremony, and Anna would return to the campus to attend the ceremony. That would be a final farewell to her campus life.Back when she was in school, Anna was regarded as one of those diligent and smart students, and many people resumed her as a dull girl.Look at her now! Wearing a fit professional outfit, getting rid of her black frame glasses, taking off her baggy jeans and white shirt, and wearing high heels instead of flats, Anna really felt like she was living another life now.Anna secretly wished she could go back to a few years ago when she was happy and had no worries on her mind. But those days are gone, for good.On such a pleasant eve
Chapter 394 What Are You Going to Do?Bruce took the phone and thought about it, "No! I can not give you the phone, in case you call the police.""Do you want money? Why should I call the police? I am now in your hands. The police will not do me any good." "That won't work either!" Bruce guarded the phone firmly, looking as if he was afraid of being snatched away by An Yinuo.Anna was now tied up, how could she possibly have the ability to snatch the phone?Her fear gradually dissipated.It seemed that Bruce was just a coward though he looked terrifying. She didn't need to fear him."You want the money, but do not let me call home. Then how do you get the money?" Anna asked.Bruce thought for a moment, "I'll figure it out! The initiative is in my hands, not yours! You shut up and don't talk."Anna sneered, "You're a person who really doesn't know any better. Before you were beaten. If I hadn't saved you, do you think you would have survived until now? I'm afraid you would have died in
"What are you going to do?"Seeing the creepy smile on Bruce's face, Anna turned pale with fear.Bruce took off his undershirt and stood in front of Anna half-naked with a scary smile.Anna froze. Bruce’s current look sent a chill through her."Don’t... Don't come over...""I'll call my father now and tell him to prepare money! How much do you want? I will promise to give it to you." Anna was so frightened that she exclaimed.As soon as Bruce heard the word “money”, he was stunned.He had few scruples now, perhaps because he had had alcohol.He picked up the phone and shook it, saying, "Tell me the number, and I'll dial it."Bruce still refused to untie Anna's hands and feet. He was worried that Anna would play tricks."Okay, I'll tell you the number, and you dial it." Anna hid the flash of wit in her eyes.Anna gave Bruce a number.It was not her father's phone number but Liam's.Bruce did not know whose phone number it was, so he dialed it."He turned off the phone!" Br
At Hamilton’s mansionLooking at the hung-up phone, Daniel was so nervous that his hands couldn’t stop trembling.Nicole was standing next to him. She heard the phone and she was thrilled secretly in her heart. But she put on a rather worried expression on her face."What's happened to Anna?""She's been kidnapped. The kidnappers are demanding a ransom of $20 million within an hour." Daniel said."What? $20 million!" Nicole's voice pitched unconsciously.Nicole had just heard their talk on the phone and she had recognized the voice of the man at the other end. It was Bruce.Bruce was so bold and greedy to ask for such a large amount of money. He would not fear that his big appetite would blast his stomach.Seeing Daniel’s eyes turned to her, Nicole said hurriedly, "How did Anna get kidnapped? Danny, is there anyone who has held a grudge against you lately? Or maybe it is your competitor?"Daniel pondered for a while and then he answered in a deep voice, "I don't know. It’s for
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
