Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)

Chapter 114 Because You're Dumb

"Let’s try it.” Liam put his arm around Anna's shoulders and brought her into the car.

"You can try it with yourself, you pervert!" Anna tossed her hands around frantically.

Liam chuckled playfully. His eyes were as bright as stars. "What are you afraid of?"

"This has nothing to do with fear! It’s about... It’s about you being a perverted bastard! Let go of me!" Anna pushed against his chest, grinding her teeth in rage.

Liam kept laughing. Exasperated, Anna shook her little fist. "You perv. You perv!”

Liam stopped toying with her. It turned out that he only leaned onto her to buckle her seatbelt.

Anna's face had once again flushed red. She did not dare to even glance at him.

Liam got into the car and drove off.

On the road, Anna was very quiet. She stared blankly out the window.

It began to drizzle again. Rain pattered onto the car window, turning the scenery outside gloomy.

The somber weather reflected Anna’s emotions perfectly.

Liam took a glance at her. He suddenly pitied her for

all the things she had to endure. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Are you still sad?" he asked in a low tone.

Anna shook her head. "I've gotten past sadness a long time ago."

She no longer felt grief for the things Bryan had done t o him. The only thing she had left in her heart was resentment and disgust.

"Then what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about how those two can be so brazen!"

Liam almost burst out laughing. "Anna Hamilton, do you have a brain?"

Anna was confused. "What do you mean?"

"They can be so brazen because they don't see you as a threat at all! That's why they can parade their infidelity without fear! It's so simple, yet you can't figure it out. Here you are, wondering how they can be so brazen!" 1

'Uh...'

"You're right! That's what I mean too! I wonder why they think I can easily be pushed around!" Anna clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

"Because you're dumb!"

U H

Liam's expression was dark. Deep within his inkblack eyes, a penetrating look flashed by.

Anna pouted angrily, not saying a word.

Why did that man always have to say such hurtful things? If she was as wise and intelligent as him, she would have escaped from this mess a long time ago.

Just then, her black wristband rang abruptly. A cheerful song played...

Anna snapped out of her thoughts and lifted her wrist, gazing at Liam. "Did you choose this song?"

"You don't like it?"

"It's alright. It's just..."

"Just what?"

A sly look flashed across her eyes. "It's just a little childish."

U H

The smile that Liam just put on froze instantly. He turned to her, about to lash out. However, he saw that Anna was scouring her bag for something. After a while, it seemed like her search was unsuccessful. She closed her bag and gazed blankly out the window again.

Anna noticed that the car was slowly coming to a stop. She turned to Liam to see that he had opened the car door and got out of the car. He hurried away with quick steps.

When he came back, his suit was covered in glistening beads of rain. He handed her a small and white bottle of medication.

Anna took the bottle confusedly. Turned out, it was the brand of eyedrops she always used. Her heart filled up with warmth, which seeped into her blood and spread throughout her entire body.

The big boss personally got out of his car and walked through the rain to get her eye drops!

On that rainy day, the moist and cold atmosphere around her disappeared.

She opened the bottle and dripped two drops into her eyes. She closed her eyes gently and grinned from ear t o ear.

"Thank you.”

"You're overthinking this. I just don't want my woman to look at me with bad eyes."

U H

He ruined it again!

By the time Liam sent her home, it was already seven o'clock at night.

The drizzle finally stopped. The grey clouds in the sky had also cleared away, revealing the bright stars in the night sky.

Liam glanced at her with profound eyes as if he wanted to say something. Even so, in the end, he turned around and entered his car without saying a

word.

Anna watched as he drove away in his car. She also had something that she wanted to say, but his car was already far away from her.

"Drive safe..." She mumbled to the car that was a long distance away.

Anna rang the doorbell. Lisa hurriedly welcomed her home and helped her into the house.

To Anna's surprise, no one was at home except for Lisa and a few other maids.

Daniel and Nicole must have been out on a romantic date.

Chloe had run off on her date at noon after leaving Anna alone at the hospital. That girl sure was impatient!

Anna returned to her room and lay on her bed, not bothering to turn on the lights. She stared blankly at the ceiling in the dark. There was not even a faint glow in those beautiful eyes of hers.

Ding!

A message from 'Crazy Voyeur' came in.

[Retreat to advance, smart. Aggressively trying to attack, dumb]

Anna stared at those words for a long time. The suffocating feeling in her chest was gradually dispelled. She felt a sense of clarity in her chaotic

mind.

In her current situation, it was difficult to advance.

Her father, Daniel, did not want to give up his authority. The mother-daughter duo, Nicole and Chloe, was after everything that she had. Bryan only had eyes on the fact that she was the successor to Lincoln Group. He wanted to use her as a stepping stone to take over Dawson Group.

Chloe was eager to turn her affair with Bryan into a huge scandal. That way, the marriage between Bryan and Anna would be ruined and she could take her place instead.

Thus, she kept clinging onto Bryan and acted unscrupulously in front of Anna and even in public places.

As for Daniel, Nicole had been whispering poison into his ears for many years, making him distant toward Anna.

If Anna did not use the Lincoln Group to hold down Daniel, her place in the house would plummet even further.

As for Grandmother Dawson...

She was an intelligent only lady. Before Anna could officially marry Bryan, there was no way Grandmother Dawson would support her in taking over Lincoln Group!

At that moment, she had to fight alone. She was treading on thin ice—she ought to proceed with caution, one step at a time.

She finally understood the purpose of the show Liam put up for her earlier that day. It was for her to see clearly the kind of attitude the people around her bore; it was to give her the determination to pull herself together and stand up for herself.

Did Liam arrange that show for her because he was worried that she still harbored feelings toward Bryan, and thus, did not have the heart to hurt him?

Anna chuckled. She clicked into the message Liam sent and replied. [It looks like you don't trust me!]

Who knew this man could feel insecure too!

"Don’t you know that my heart is already taken? There’s no way I'll harbor feelings for anyone else!” Anna gazed at Liam's number on her phone and sniffled a little.

When she thought about everything Liam had done at that time, and the countless days and nights he had spent at the hospital, Anna's heart felt brimmed with joy.

At midnight, Chloe frantically knocked on Anna's door.

"Anna, I'm so sorry. An emergency came up so I had to leave you at the hospital! When I went back, you were already gone! I almost got a heart attack. I'm so glad you got home safe, Anna!”

Anna knew that Chloe was just putting on an act for Daniel. She was afraid that Anna would tell on her, making Daniel displeased with her.

"It’s okay, Chloe. I need to learn to be independent too. I can’t rely on the people around me forever." Anna smiled at Chloe, like a kind-hearted older sister.

Chloe was staggered. Her smile grew wider. "I’m so glad you don't blame me for it! Anna, from tomorrow onwards, I will stay by your side all day long. I won’t leave you for even a second!”

Daniel was satisfied with the interaction he just saw. He returned to his room with a smile.

The expression on Chloe's face gradually turned cold." Anna, I will surely take good care of you."

"Thank you, Chloe.” Anna smiled faintly. Her gaze was calm like the crystal clear water of a lake.
