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
Liam turned on the monitoring system on Anna’s side and listened carefully to the sound at that end.He was so driving fast that he couldn't wait to show up in front of Anna.Bruce's smug voice came from the other end of the phone."I can enjoy my rest life with 30 million dollars.""Hah....""I didn't expect Ms. Anna from Hamilton’s family to be so valuable. I really did the right thing this time."As the distance getting closer and closer, Liam's face became ruthless. He sneered, "I'm afraid that you have money but you have no life to spend it."He did not know how Anna was doing now, there had not been any sound.Thinking of that man hitting her earlier, the anger in Liam's chest flared up.He must cut off that man's hands and feet and turn him into a stick! Bruce would pay a heavy price if he touches his woman.……Anna now felt light-headed and was shivering with cold.She seemed to have a fever. How could she be sick at a time like this?She gripped her fist hard and pierced he
"Now, you can only trust me!"Bruce tightened his grip on Anna and pressed the dagger fiercely against Anna's slim white neck.Anna was also very scared now. But as Liam was here, she suppressed her fear soon. "Trust him. Since he promised you, he will definitely keep his promise," Anna said in a weak voice.Liam saw the trust in Anna's eyes. His chest seemed to tighten, and he suddenly had an indefinable feeling.He was desperate to take Jessica into his arms and protect her carefully instead of putting her in danger.The police officers outside were still shouting, "A sniper is ready now. You’d better release the hostages as soon as possible."Seeing the infrared rays outside the window keep sweeping around him, Bruce completely panicked."Don’t you dare come over and touch me. Otherwise, I will kill her!" The dagger in Bruce's hand was trembling.Anna was choked by him and had difficulty in breathing, her beautiful little face crinkling up.Liam panicked. "What are you go
Slowly Anna opened her eyes. The white-painted ceiling and the dazzling bulb light came into her eyes. She was in a daze. It was like a few months ago when she had been hospitalized for an eye injury. She hurriedly closed her eyes. It took quite a while for her to recover herself. Then gradually she opened her eyes again. There was pain everywhere in her body. Her head ached as well, and her consciousness was in chaos. She tried to recall her memory. But all she could remember was that she had passed out and fallen into Liam's arms, and after that, she had no idea. "Anna, you're awake?" An elderly and compassionate voice sounded in her ear. Anna turned her head and saw Grandmother Dawson looking at her concernedly. "Grandma..." Anna strained to open her mouth and made a hoarse sound. Her throat was dry and sore. Grandmother Dawson patted her on the shoulder and said tenderly, "Don't be in such a hurry to talk, Anna. You are still too weak. You need to rest. Let grandm
