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

Chapter 148 Hurt Myself

Anna waited for Liam's answer for a long time, but unexpectedly, he ended up laughing.

His laughter was so disdainful that it made Anna's expectation instantly disappear without a trace.

"I don't need love!" said Liam.

That word was quite unfamiliar to him, it was an emotion so unfamiliar that he never thought of touching it or having it, it never even occurred in his mind.

That was why he found it surprising and amusing when Anna asked him this question.

"Oh," said Anna plainly. She did not say anything else nor did she have the courage to look at him again.

"Then why are you helping me?" She could not help but ask softly.

"I felt that it wasn't exciting enough when you only called your father to catch them cheating. A good show must have the appropriate impact, it won't be a good show if it doesn’t blow up in a snap!"

"Just like that?"

"If not then what do you think I did it for?"

"It's late, I should go home!"

"You're not jumping into the river anymore?" teased Liam.

"When did I want to jump into the river!"

Liam could not help but laugh when he saw that she was like a lion cub again. "I'm glad you're not."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

As Liam was preparing to send Anna back, he received a sudden phone call and immediately had a troubled look on his face.

Anna looked at him strangely and only heard him say over the phone, "Yes, I understand, I'll go right away."

Anna did not ask him what happened as she knew that he would not tell anyway.

This man was very shrewd, he never tells anyone the truth directly and earnestly. It was hard to say whether he was a closely guarded man or he distrusts everyone around him.

Should he be described as overly alert or sly?

Anna was shoved into the car by Liam just as she was deep in thought. He ordered James to personally send her home safely.

In the end, he went beside her ear and said softly, "I'll let you go for now, my little lady.” 1

Anna's body trembled as she looked toward Liam, but he had already closed the car door and walked away.

Anna gazed at his tall and handsome silhouette through the car window, both his legs were so alluring. She wanted to have him for herself and hug him like a teddy bear.

However, this man was like a wisp of wind that could not be captured, seemingly moving between the fingers but turning to nothing when grasped.

James personally brought Anna back home.

Daniel hurriedly welcomed them and respectfully thanked James. "Thank you Mr. James for bringing Anna back. Thank you so much!"

Daniel wanted to invite James in for a cup of tea but h e declined.

"Mr. Hamilton, Sir told me to give my regards on his behalf."

Daniel was stunned. What did this greeting from Liam mean?

James did not explain and left after he respectfully nodded at Anna.

Anna could not help but feel displeased with this master and servant pair, both of them were alike in their coldness.

"Anna, where did you go? Our calls couldn't get to you either. I looked for you everywhere, I'm worried sick."

Nicole ran over as she pretended to worriedly check o n Anna. She wanted to give Anna an affectionate hug but she stepped back and avoided it.

"What were you worried about? Worried that TH hurt

myself out of desperation?"

There was no need for Anna to appear friendly with Nicole anymore. Even if she were to berate Nicole, Daniel would not say a word.

Nicole seemed a little upset but she still smiled and said, "Anna, don't say such things. You wouldn’t hurt yourself, right? Chloe..."

"Don’t bring her up! I don't have such a sister!" Anna brushed her shoulder against Nicole and walked off with Lisa's support.

Nicole looked embarrassed as she quietly glanced at Daniel. Seeing that Daniel had not reacted, she forced a smile and continued following Anna.

"Anna, I was honestly worried about you. You can't just leave without saying a word, your eyesight isn't well."

“Oh right, Anna, how come it was Mr. James who sent you home? What did you go out to do?" Nicole continued to pursue the question.

Daniel also had such a question. Anna faced her father and explained, "I was in a bad mood, so I called a cab to drive me around. It so happened that Mr.

Ackman called and told me that something is going o n in the school and wanted me to go there. That's why James sent me home."

Daniel smilingly said to Anna, "It would seem that Mr. Ackman thinks highly of you, make sure not to let him down."

It was then Daniel further felt that Liam truly had the intention of having Anna in the Ackman Group after graduating. That was why he was so intent on training her.

However, Anna's eyes...

Would Liam accept a blind person to work in his company?

"Dad, it's my fault for making you worry."

"It’s fine, it's fine, you're back safe and sound."

Daniel seemed a little solemn, his mind kept thinking about the greeting James had conveyed on behalf of Liam.

What did it mean?

Daniel was like a man trying to understand God's plan, he finally came to a few conclusions in mind after much thought.

Firstly, Liam was insinuating that he has Anna's back now and that no one was allowed to offend her.

Secondly, Liam was teasing that the daughter that Daniel had taught so well went as far as to snatch Anna's fiance, and this vexed him.

Did people not say that Liam was interested in Bryan? If that was the case then Daniel was considered to have offended Liam.

Thirdly, Liam could possibly be threatening him. Implying that Chloe and Bryan's situation must be

handled properly.

At that moment, Chloe came down from her room. She hurriedly rushed downstairs when she saw Anna and cried out loud.

"Anna, don't ever hurt yourself, it’s all my fault. You can beat or scold me if you want, but you must never hurt yourself..."

Anna glanced at Chloe sideways and spoke in a contemptuous tone. "It would seem that you had hoped that I hurt myself."

"Anna, how could you say such a thing? I was truly worried about you!"

"What are you doing down here! Go back to your room!" Daniel saw Chloe and his rage welled up uncontrollably. He was also worried that Chloe would trigger Anna and cause a mess again.

Chloe suddenly feared up. "Daddy, I'm here to apologize to Anna."

She looked toward Anna tearfully and said, "Anna, I'm sorry... But Bryan and I are truly in love, please give us your blessings to be together!"

Anna chuckled coldly. "Give you my blessing? With such an embarrassing method?"

"If you guys want to be together you can just tell me. Why did you have to do such a thing to pressure me, Dad, and the entire Hamilton family?" "Don't you know that you have to put the Hamiltons

first, and your needs second?"

Daniel looked at Anna with admiration, she was truly his daughter. Even though she was wronged, she still thought about the family’s interests.

Chloe held back the hatred in her heart, Anna really knew how to be a good person!

"Anna, I know I was wrong, but I really love Bryan. Can you hand him over to me, please?"

The disgust in Anna's heart rushed to her eyes and her voice became even colder as she saw the act Chloe put on. "Hand him to you? Chloe, only you could brazenly say such a shameless thing!"

Anna sighed soon after. "I would like to give you guys my blessing, after all, you’re my sister. Even though I hate you, I can't bear to see how unhappy you guys are. But do you think the Dawsons would agree?" A plan flashed through Anna's eyes.
