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

Chapter 150 I Swear

Bryan and Daniel were very happy to see Anna finally opening the door.

"Anna, you're finally willing to see me.” Bryan excitedly ran toward Anna.

While Anna said to Daniel, "Dad, call Chloe here, the three of us will discuss this properly."

Daniel frowned and said, "Anna, you..."

"Dad, since this matter is between the three of us, then it's best if all three of us can talk it out."

Daniel awkwardly looked at Bryan as he pondered whether the situation would collapse beyond control i f Chloe saw Bryan.

"Anna, in the end, this is still a matter between you and Bryan. You guys can talk it out if there's any misunderstanding, it's best not to involve other parties."

Anna could tell that Daniel was a little biased toward Bryan and tilted her head and chuckled. " Misunderstanding? Dad, since it’s a misunderstanding, then the person involved should b e here to explain clearly to eliminate the misunderstanding."

"Anna, can you not do this?" Bryan looked at Anna dejectedly with pleading eyes but Anna pretended as i f she did not see anything.

"What do you want me to do? Happily tell you that I’ll pretend nothing happened? This is as far as I’ll go. If you want to talk then let’s all talk together. If not then we won't talk!"

Anna finished her words and wanted to turn around and return to her room but she was held back by Bryan. She hastily shook off his filthy hand.

"Don't touch me!"

Daniel saw the confrontation between Anna and Bryan, that was the truest release that was too late to conceal which made Daniel worry.

If Anna was in such a predicament with Bryan, could they still get married?

"Anna, Bryan is doing it for your own good, he's worried about you..." Daniel did not even know how to speak on behalf of Bryan anymore. He glared at Bryan with dissatisfaction yet it was inappropriate to state it.

"This is the only condition I have!" exclaimed Anna coldly.

Bryan awkwardly looked at Daniel but he had no choice but to agree for the time being that the three of them talk.

Anna, Bryan, and Chloe sat on the sofa in the living room. No one was willing to speak up first amidst the awkward atmosphere.

Daniel and Nicole were in the garden outside. Daniel was pacing back and forth while Nicole kept looking toward the mansion.

They were very anxious. Daniel was worried that Anna's relationship with Bryan would be messed up, while Nicole was worried that Chloe could not win over Bryan’s and they would go their separate paths.

Meanwhile, in the mansion, Anna finally spoke up.

"You guys don't want to say anything?" Her voice was cold like solid ice that would never melt.

Chloe looked at Bryan, while Bryan looked at Anna.

One of them seemed sad and full of grievance, while the other was begging for forgiveness.

"Anna..."

"Bryan..."

Bryan and Chloe spoke up at the same time, and then both of them shut up at the same time.

Bryan side-eyed Chloe, giving her a hateful and cautionary stare.

Chloe pouted with resentment while her eyes started t o well up. She stared longingly at Bryan and had hoped that he would not leave her, but instead what she got was his heartless indifference.

Anna suddenly stood up. "Since you guys still haven't thought about what to say, then I'll wait till you're done thinking and ready to speak.” "Anna, where are you going?" Bryan quickly stood up a s well.

"I’m going to the restroom, are you following?" said Anna coldly.

Bryan was dejected. "Anna, it's inconvenient for you to go alone, I’ll bring you there."

"No need!" Anna fumbled her way toward the restroom.

Bryan wanted to go after her but Chloe tugged on his arm and shook her head incessantly.

Bryan forcefully shrugged Chloe away, but instead, she tightened her grip.

Anna went into the restroom and closed the door and the corners of her lips slowly curled into a smirk.

She wanted to give Chloe and Bryan an opportunity to discuss their next step.

If they broke off their relationship, Anna would not be able to reasonably cancel the engagement with Bryan and make Grandmother Dawson feel guilty about her!

Once Grandmother Dawson feels guilty, she would not have to rely on the marriage with the Dawsons to get assistance from them when it was her turn to take over the Lincoln Group.

Chloe held onto Bryan and said anxiously, "Bryan, what's the meaning of this? You’re throwing me aside just like that?"

"What do you want? Money? What else! As long as you completely break off with me, I'll give you anything you want! Bryan glared at Chloe fiercely which made her heart ache.

"I don’t want anything, all I want is you!"

"Stop dreaming, Chloe, we're finished! Completely finished!"

Chloe shook her head incessantly. "No! There's still hope for us!"

"How many times do you want me to tell you this, we're finished, stop pestering me!"

Chloe was at the limit, she looked at Bryan's emotionless face with sorrow. "Bryan, don't force me! You were the one who approached me from the start, you're also the one who got me drunk and slept with m e!" This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"If you weren’t willing, then why did you agree so easily? Stop pretending, Chloe. It's clear to me what your intentions are!"

Chloe's tears slowly streamed down her face. "Bryan, don't make me hate you!"

Bryan was extremely annoyed as he finally pushed Chloe away. "Don't cry in front of me, I’m really annoyed right now! It's all because of you that we ended up in this situation today!"

Chloe suddenly stood up and strode toward the door.

Bryan was surprised and hurriedly rushed forward to stop her. "What are you trying to do?"

Chloe wiped the tears off the corner of her eyes and stared at Bryan with despair. "There are reporters outside, and I'm not afraid to tell them that you got me drunk and took advantage of me!"

"I want everyone to know what kind of person you truly are!"

“Chloe, enough!" Bryan quickly covered her mouth as she struggled to remove his hand.

“Since you're so heartless, then don’t blame me for my disloyalty! You want to protect yourself but so do I! You have the title of the Dawson family's young master while I have nothing! I have nothing to fear either!"

Bryan always knew that Chloe had her own agenda, else she would not have gone behind her sister's back t o be with her fiance.

Bryan had already known that Chloe planned to marry into the Dawson family. However, he only treated her a s a plaything and not something serious.

“Chloe, listen to me, I'm not the one who wants to break it off with you. It’s Granny, it's everyone forcing me to break it off with you! Do you understand?"

Chloe's anger gradually subsided as she heard Bryan's gentle tone and said with a sorrowful voice, "Bryan, who can force you to do anything you don’t want to? You’re the Dawson family's young master, the sole heir of the family."

"Chloe, you don't know this but Granny told me that if I don't handle this situation properly then she'll change the Dawson family’s heir!"

"What?" Chloe was startled.

"Exactly! Although I'm the only male descendant in the family, I still had a legitimate older sister! She has always been eyeing the position of the Dawson family’s successor."

"Didn't Granny say that the Dawson family business would be passed down to the males and not the females?" Chloe still doubted Bryan's words.

"That was before! Now that this happened, it affected the family a lot! Our family's shares have started dropping! Granny also fell sick out of anger, I don’t have a choice!" Bryan rubbed his forehead in distress.

"Chloe, you have to understand, Granny can’t accept you into the Dawson family at this moment!"

"You’re the one who seduced me in Granny's eyes. You're the one who caused me to embarrass the Dawson family and let Anna down!"

Chloe’s tears started flowing again. "Bryan, do you know how much I love you? For you, I'm willing to sacrifice my life!"

"I know you love me! But there’s no other choice now! I f I have nothing, what can you gain from being with m e?" "But Bryan... Do you still want me?"

Bryan quickly nodded his head. "Yes! Of course I do! How could I truly give up on you!"

Bryan dared not reject her at that moment, else it might make Chloe rush to the reporters and spill the beans.

"But... What are we going to do now? Granny wants you to marry Anna soon to quell the rumors, doesn't that mean... We really have to split up?" Chloe stared a t Bryan with anticipation as her tears were starting to fall.

Bryan sighed helplessly. "Chloe, I have a plan to salvage this situation. Are you willing to help?"

"How can I help?"

Bryan thought for a moment and held Chloe's hand as he spoke sincerely and seriously. "Tell the public that you're the one clinging onto me. I was unwilling, that’s why we had an altercation in the restroom but the reporters misunderstood our relationship."

"Bryan... You want me to be the scapegoat?" Chloe’s face went pale.

Bryan was a little anxious. "What else is there to do? What can you get if you ruin me and I have nothing left?"

"You don't have anything to begin with, you don’t have to inherit the family business nor do you have any family legacy, what's there to be afraid of? We're not the same, I'll truly have nothing left if my reputation is ruined!" "Chloe, you must look at the big picture and not just what's ahead. Do you understand?"

Chloe gritted her teeth and said, "What can I get out of this if I followed what you said?"

"After all this has settled down and I've secured my position as the Dawson family's young master, I’ll definitely marry you into the family."

"How about you and Anna? Aren't you going to marry her?"

Bryan quickly lowered his voice and said, "Chloe, that's just to humor Granny! Do you think I'll really marry Anna? I'm just the same as you, I'm deeply in love with you. Only you can be my wife!"

A faint smile finally appeared on Chloe's teary face. She wanted to fall into Bryan's arms but was stopped b y him.

"Chloe, as long as you get this done, I'll fulfill what I promised you," said Bryan.

“You won't marry Anna?"

"Definitely not!"

"You guys won't bring forward the wedding?"

"How could I agree to bring forward the wedding with her!" Bryan guaranteed further.

A smile finally appeared on Chloe's face. "Bryan, make sure you keep your word once I take the fall for this

situation."

"I promise, I swear that I will keep my word."
