As soon as Bryan’s fingers made contact with Anna, her eyes narrowed and she quickly drew her hand back.Bryan chased after her hand and caught hold of it, clasping it tightly within his large palm.“Anna, my uncle is family after all,” said Bryan affectionately. He completely missed the icy cold look in Liam’s eyes.Anna could already sense the surrounding air getting colder. She continued to struggle and was finally able to snatch back her hand.Bryan maintained his warm, tender smile. Anna was the sole focus of his attention right now, there was no one else in his eyes.Naturally, he did not notice Liam’s stormy expression.“Anna, do you like it here?” asked Bryan softly.Anna nodded her head in response. “The environment here is lovely.” Inwardly, she added another sentence, ‘Or it would be if Liam wasn’t here making the atmosphere so tense.’Bryan’s face was lit up by a smile as bright as the daylight. “I’m glad that you like it. We should come here more often in the futur
Liam looked at Anna with a smile. He held the wine glass in his hand and waved it in front of her elegantly.Anna was completely clueless right now about the meaning behind Liam’s actions! If it were not for the fact that Bryan was here, she would have thrown the contents in her wine glass right at Liam’s face in anger!“Uncle, how could we let you toast us first? That would be too disrespectful as your niece and nephew. Uncle, allow me to toast to your good health.” Bryan rushed to his feet and raised his glass.Liam’s expression froze momentarily, so quickly that it was practically imperceptible. “You need to drive later so you shouldn’t drink wine.”This was clearly a rejection!Bryan smiled awkwardly and mopped up the tiny beads of sweat on his forehead. Anna also felt second-hand embarrassment and felt so uncomfortable it was as though she were sitting on a bed of nails.Liam then politely said, “Miss Hamilton, a toast to your good health.”As he spoke, Liam’s foot once a
Anna did not stop pummeling Liam with her fists. However, she was quickly subdued by Liam.“Let go of me! Let go of me! Hurry up and let go of me!”A deep kiss landed on her tender lips, sealing her mouth so that she could no longer make a sound.Anna gradually became caught up in the action and could not stop herself from letting out a seductive moan.“Mmm…”Liam smiled a satisfied smile and kissed her even more passionately.Anna bit him in embarrassment. Instantly, a sickly sweet taste came from the tip of her tongue.Liam felt the pain and released Anna’s luscious red lips.“How dare you bite me again!” raged Liam.“Kiss me again and I’ll be sure to bite you once more!” threatened Anna coldly.Anna’s beautiful eyes were filled with anger. As she met his eyes, she could see her red face reflected in his deep, black eyes.Liam chuckled and said in a mischievous tone, “The more you struggle, the more I feel like playing.”Anna felt incredibly frustrated. However, she knew
Anna and Bryan had just arrived at the cinema when Anna’s cell phone started to ring. It was an unknown number. Anna answered it warily.“Hello?”“Hello, I’m the new director of the University of Johannes. I’m calling you to inform you that you need to come here right now to attend the meeting on the fifth floor of the main building at the university.Anna was stunned. This voice sounded a little familiar but she could not place the voice right at that moment.“What meeting is this? Is it really urgent?”After all, it was already 10 p.m. Did she really have to go to school at this time at night for a meeting? It was a joke right?She heard the person on the other side of the phone started to get angry, “Get over here right now!”Bryan saw Anna’s frowning face and asked, “What’s wrong, Anna? Has something happened?”Anna was deep in thought. It did not matter what type of meeting it was, it was a good excuse to ditch Bryan. Her mood improved leaps and bounds at the opportunity.
Liam Ackman! As soon as she heard his name, Anna’s entire body instantly tensed up. Why was he here at her university dormitory!? Could it be that he had come here to teach her a lesson for switching off her phone?Anna looked up reluctantly to confirm if the person surrounded by all these women was actually Liam. In the end, she managed to see a tall, strapping figure and catch a glimpse of the outstandingly handsome face of Liam Ackman among the crowd.He wore his usual cool and indifferent expression as he stood amongst a sea of admirers. His eyes were emotionless, as though he were in a separate world from all the admirers cheering around him.James walked out of the dormitory and respectfully reported to Liam, “Mr. Ackman, she’s not here.”In an instant, Liam’s expression seemed to become even colder. Liam slowly turned his head round. Anna was caught by surprise and ran to hide behind a large tree.Liam’s cold eyes swept across the faces of the crowd of women. His cold and
Nina carried her plate of noodles over and asked, “Anna, what’s this singing thing?”“It’s just a wristband,” Anna answered in an unbothered tone. However, she could not help but break out into a smile. She quickly took out her eye drops and applied them to her eyes.“It’s such a beautiful wristband.”“Oh, it’s not pretty at all! It’s all black and doesn’t look good at all.”“If you don’t think it looks good, you should give it to me. I like listening to this ‘Jingle Bell’ song. It’s so cheerful and instantly changes one’s mood.”“I’m not going to give it to you.” Anna quickly put her hands behind her. She looked as though she was worried that Nina would snatch her precious treasure.Nina pursed her lips as she ate her noodles. “Looks like you value it a lot! It must be a gift from a guy. Quickly tell me if you’ve found a new handsome beau. Are you guys dating?”As soon as Anna thought about Liam’s rapidly changing expressions, as well as his passionate behavior in bed, she shud
“Anna Hamilton! Who are you calling dog!?”Jennifer Wurst stormed over and pointed at Anna while she screamed. Anna looked at Jennifer coolly. This woman had always had a problem with her and was constantly picking fights with Anna.Nina looked at Jennifer then turned to look at Anna and said, “Some people seem to be pretty self-aware.”Anna laughed. “It seems that way.”Jennifer felt a surge of anger. She smiled snidely. “Anna, you must be so pleased now that you’ve had plastic surgery! However, everyone in the school knows that you’re just an old nun and you have a lap dog that follows you all day!”“You!” Nina was furious. She was just about to retaliate when Anna stopped her and casually said.“Nina, only a rabid dog will bite as soon as they see people. We’re going to be late for class. We should go.”Nina started to laugh. “That’s true. A crazy dog always makes the most noise!”Jennifer got so mad that her face went red. She rushed forwards and stood in Anna and Nina’s wa
Nina’s eyes sparkled as she fluttered her eyelashes at Anna hopefully. “I’m not going to tell you, you busybody!” Anna lightly tapped her forehead and smiled sweetly.Anna would not reveal who Jennifer had gone to the hotel with. However, if Jennifer continued to talk about Anna and Ryan, she might accidentally ‘leak’ some information.They walked to class together. Everyone in the class gave Anna a once over then grouped to have whispered discussions. Even without listening to them speak, she could guess that they must be discussing what happened between her and Ryan.This matter occurred at the Dawson family mansion and it involved Anna and another man. The man was a known playboy so it was a huge scandal for her to be caught with him.Anna took a deep breath and acted as though she had not heard anything. Otherwise, the story would become more warped until it became a version that was nothing like the truth.After the class ended, Nina read a group message and quickly pulled
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
