Liam finally managed to drill a hole on the wall that he was satisfied with. It was a hole large enough for him to put his hand through and also observe everything in the next room.Liam smiled in satisfaction and blew on the electric drill in his hand, looking like a cowboy that had won a duel.James stood behind him and after hesitating for quite a long time, he cautiously opened his mouth, “Mr. Ackman, we could have installed a hidden camera next door… Wouldn’t that have been much simpler?”Liam’s smile froze for a second on his lips. He then turned back to look at James.“When did you become so clever?”His tone was calm and indifferent, yet, James seemed to hear a tinge of coldness in it. The corner of James’ lips twitched and three deep lines appeared on his forehead. It was as though a murder of crows had flown across his head.Was he clever or has Liam lost a few points of his IQ recently?After all, it was said that love could make one lose their sense of reason and mak
Chloe walked up to Anna’s bed, took her hand, and said coquettishly, “Anna, of course, I’ll focus on my studies. However, I’m not as amazing as you are. You’re the top student in every subject and well-deserving of the title of top student!”“Anna, you know how they say that it’s a blessing for a woman to be ordinary? After all, if a woman is too outstanding in her studies, she won’t be able to marry a man that she can depend on for her whole life. What’s the point of all that studying then?” said Chloe as she suggestively looked at Bryan.Bryan felt a little embarrassed and averted his gaze to look outside the window. Chloe was a little unhappy with him. Every time that she brought up the topic of marriage, Bryan would look disinterested. Chloe silently clenched her fists as her eyes filled with a cold light.Anna could read between the lines of Chloe’s words and soundlessly withdrew her hand, smiling coolly.“It’s good to marry but one should be capable! In this society, it's t
Chloe placed the freshly-washed grapes on the table before Anna. After that, she wiggled her slender figure as she sat down lightly on Bryan’s lap.Without waiting for Bryan to push her off, she wrapped her hands around Bryan’s neck. She whispered in front of him, “It’s okay. Anna can’t see this.”After she finished speaking, her soft little hands began to gently stroke the area between his legs, making Bryan feel a different sort of excitement.At that moment, the hospital door was pushed open and a deep voice suddenly rang out. “What are you both doing?”Chloe was so frightened that she stood up from Bryan’s lap. All the color drained from her face.Bryan’s complexion did not look much better than Chloe’s. He went so white he was practically see-through.“Un-uncle… Uncle…” Bryan was so terrified that his heart was pounding wildly. His voice was all choked up.Liam glanced at Anna who had remained quiet. He did not speak plainly. He was a little worried that Anna would be hur
Anna understood the situation that she was in right now. She was powerless. Each step she took felt like walking on thin ice. If she wanted to take control of the Lincoln Group, her only choice was to rely on borrowed power.Liam’s fingers tightened momentarily, eliciting a sense of pain. Anna struggled forcefully but was unable to escape from his grip.“What’s wrong? So he can touch you but I can’t?”When he recalled how she had taken the initiative to let Bryan touch her, was it really necessary for her to struggle this much when he was just holding her chin?“Liam Ackman. What’s your plan? Why does it concern you who I allow to touch me? Who are you to me? What right do you have to control me?“Woman, don’t you know what’s good for you!? Your eyes aren’t working right but is your heart blind as well!?” Liam’s expression was grim and cold.Numerous women had wanted to start a relationship with him but he did not spare them a single glance. This little woman that he had bedded
“I hate people that pretend to be deaf when I talk!” Liam fumed.Anna could feel his boiling rage. She opened her eyes instinctively, staring at him with equally wrathful eyes.“If you hate it so much, you can always choose to leave!”She could not understand Liam at all. If he hated her so much, why would he not leave her alone!While Anna did appreciate the care and concern he showed her, she still could not stand his insufferably arrogant attitude. He always acted as if she owed him the world!Liam gazed at Anna’s beautiful eyes. They were still as clear as water despite the tinges of red that remained. Seeing her eyes brought him remorse.“Can you see now?”Anna quickly shut her eyes. “No, not at all!”An odd feeling of joy emerged in his heart. His expression softened and his tone turned warmer. “It’s good that you can see now.”Anna covered her ears. “I can’t see. I can’t see. My eyes hurt…”She could not believe that brute would tear away her bandages in a fit of rage!
Anna quickly struggled with both hands.“No, no, no!”“A woman always means ‘yes’ when they say no!”“Nonsense! Stay away from me!” Anna covered her mouth tightly.Liam batted away her tiny hands and inched closer and closer to her. His handsome face magnified before her eyes.“Pervert! You damn pervert… Y-y-you…”Before Anna could finish, his forceful and overbearing kiss landed on her lips again. That was her punishment for angering him. His erect sword pressed against her scabbard under the blanket. His heavy breaths made Anna’s face redden and her heart thump.Flustered, she closed her eyes and heard Liam’s cold voice sounding beside her ear.“Little lady, what are you getting excited for?”Anna quivered, snapping out of her daze. She scrambled backward but lost her balance and fell off the bed. She yelped as she fell.Liam reached out his long arms. He scooped her up from the floor and pulled her straight into his embrace.The perfect contours of his face appeared rig
Liam began the story in a distant tone.“Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit that saw its mother being eaten alive by a wolf in rabbit’s skin. However, the little rabbit chose to hide and not make a peep. Because it knew that even if it distracted the wolf by making some noise, his efforts would still be in vain as its mother would still be eaten alive…”“After that, the little rabbit still lived happily with the wolf in rabbit’s skin, calling the wolf ‘Mommy! Mommy!’. Until one day, the little rabbit grew up into a tiger and ate the wolf alive, exacting revenge for its mother.”Liam’s story sounded harsh and emotionless, yet it gave Anna a shock.“Are you trying to say… I should hide my true capabilities?”“No! I’m saying you must face catastrophe with a calm attitude!”‘Facing catastrophe with a calm attitude…’Anna lifted her head, wishing to take a look at Liam. However, the bandage around her eyes made it impossible to see anything. She could not feel Liam’s express
Liam gazed out the window. As Anna stood up from the bench, a nurse quickly went over to help. The two of them slowly headed back toward the direction of her room.“She should be able to remove her bandages today,” Liam muttered under his breath.“That’s right, sir. Ms. Hamilton will finally be able to see again!” James was happy for her too.Chloe and Bryan stepped into the elevator and ascended to the twentieth floor. The moment the elevator doors opened, Bryan hastily let go of Chloe’s soft, petite hands and strode out of the elevator.Immediately after exiting the elevator, Bryan was staggered by the sight of Liam dressed in a grey suit.Chloe, who was following behind, ran straight into Bryan. “Ouch!”“Bryan, why did you stop?” Chloe pinched his waist with her tiny hand.“U-u-uncle… What are you doing here…” Bryan stammered. He quickly smacked Chloe’s hand away.“I’m admitted to this hospital. Why else would I be here!” Liam’s voice was cold.After that, Liam’s gloomy gaz
