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

Chapter 166 Meet a Horrid End

Initially, Anna wanted to ask if he was Liam.

However, she was afraid that Charles would end up not being Liam at all. If that was the case, asking him that might even arouse suspicion regarding the secret relationship between Liam and her. Thus, Anna decided to probe him with the nickname 'Crazy Voyeur’.

As expected, Charles got angry.

Charles did not send her any more messages after that.

Anna rested her cheek on her palm and scrolled through her chat log with Charles. That man harassed her almost every single day.

Who the hell was he?

There were times that she thought it was Liam, but it was hard to believe that a man like Liam would do something so silly.

The relationship between them was lukewarm, yet he could not have gone to the extent of opening a Facebook account just to pester her, right?

Anna scrolled through the comments online chastising Chloe and Bryan. They were as abundant a s snow.

Anna would not believe it if someone were to say there was no conspirator behind this incident.

She wondered who was constantly helping her from the shadows.

She clicked into Liam's contact, almost calling his mobile. In the end, she resisted.

She hurriedly called Nina instead to dispel her urge to contact Liam.

"I'm sorry, Anna, but my mother has fallen ill these few days. I don't have time to keep you company.”

"What happened? Is it serious? Is there anything I can do to help?” Anna inquired worriedly.

"It’s okay, Anna. It's just a bad cold. She burns up quite frequently.”

Anna's heart ached when she heard Nina's exhausted tone. "Nina, you have to take good care of yourself too. Don’t tire yourself out. And you can't be working longterm at the Earldom Club. I have some money. Take it for now.”

"It's okay, Anna. I've been saving up recently. We have enough to get by."

Nina had always been worried that others might think she was friends with Anna because of her money. Hence, she never borrowed a penny from Anna.

Anna knew Nina's temper well. She never dared to say much to her when it came to money.

"You must tell me if you need anything, okay? Don’t try to shoulder everything by yourself." Anna was still a little worried.

"Alright, I know. I'm hanging up now."

Anna put down her phone and gazed outside the window.

She thought that her life so far could be considered fortunate—at the very least, she never had to worry about money.

Nina, on the other hand, not only needed to find the means to feed herself, but she also had to take care of her sickly mother. Her life was tough, yet Anna could not do anything to help.

She texted Jamie to see if he could help Nina in any way as she changed her clothes. She was about to head downstairs to look for something to eat.

Just as opened the door, she heard Nicole's voice from downstairs.

"Mr. Ackman, what brings you here? Come in!"

Mr. Ackman?

Anna hurriedly gazed downstairs from the thin gap of the slightly ajar door. However, she could not see anything. She quickly pressed her ear against the gap and listened carefully to any movements downstairs.

Which Mr. Ackman?

Was it Liam Ackman?

Her little heart suddenly thumped wildly.

Liam appeared at the Hamiltons' home with a cool expression on his face. Taken by surprise, Nicole hurriedly yelled.

"Danny! Mr. Ackman is here!"

Daniel hastened out of the study room.

He, too, was shocked by Liam's arrival. He hurriedly went forward to welcome him.

"Mr. Ackman, what brings you here? Please, have a seat. Nicole, what are you standing there for? Go make some tea."

Liam glanced upstairs, then sat down on the sofa.

His silence and cold expression made Daniel anxious.

Daniel rubbed his hands together uneasily. "Uh, Mr. Ackman... You came all the way here..."

What for?

Daniel did not dare to ask those two words.

"Home visit," Liam said nonchalantly.

Home visit?

Anna's heart shuddered. What a lousy excuse!

He was a mentor, not a primary school homeroom teacher!

Daniel was also flabbergasted.

Home visit?

When did Anna's teachers even need to see her parents?

Moreover, Liam was only her mentor. Even if Anna had done something wrong, it should not have been Liam knocking at their door!

Daniel subtly glanced at Liam's cold and handsome face. He sweated profusely.

Did Anna do something to evoke Liam's fury? Would it affect her offer with the Ackman Group?

Daniel was falling into dismay. Just as he was about t o ask something, Liam interrupted.

"Where is Ms. Hamilton?"

Nicole came out from the kitchen and placed a tea set on the coffee table. Just as she was about to pour a cup for Liam, Daniel shot a glance at her and replied.

"Anna is in her room. Do have some tea first, Mr.

Ackman. We will call her down right this instant."

Nicole darted up the stairs. Her heart was drumming anxiously.

Liam came all the way here to see Anna. What could b e the meaning behind this?

"Anna, Mr. Ackman is here. Hurry up and come downstairs."

"Okay."

Anna grabbed the door handle nervously. Her palm was covered in sweat.

Only god knows what was wrong with that overbearing man!

Why did he appear in her house all of a sudden?

She did not know Liam's motive, but she knew it was nothing good.

Should she pretend to be sleeping and not head downstairs?

If she did that, Liam would surely burst into her room t o look for her.

If that were to happen...

It would be even more dangerous to be alone with him in a bedroom! It would be easier for her to deal with him when surrounded by everyone downstairs.

Anna tidied the clothes she was wearing, opened the door, and headed downstairs.

Chloe had long been standing dutifully in the living room. She greeted Liam as 'Uncle'. Her eager manner was revolting.

Liam maintained his ice-cold expression. He did not even glance at Chloe, turning her eager act into a solo performance.

Anna’s gaze suddenly met with Liam's deep and mysterious eyes. Her entire body froze and she almost turned away and ran out of instinct.

However, she saw a murderous intent emerge in

Liam's eyes as if telling her.

"Woman, if you run, you’ll be dead meat!”

Anna swallowed hard. She bit the bullet and greeted," Good afternoon, Mr. Ackman!" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Oh,” Liam acknowledged her greeting in an indifferent tone.

Anna forced the corner of her lips upward into a smile.

Liam's dispassionate expression seemed to have softened a little.

He announced, "I am here today for a home visit.

"Ms. Hamilton is a valuable student that the university has been nurturing. The university has high hopes and expectations for her. I do not wish for her to encounter any problems while recovering at home."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They could not wrap their heads around where Liam's words arose from.

Daniel quickly nodded. "Of course, of course. We have always been taking good care of Anna. You can rest assured, Mr. Ackman.”

"Uncle, don't worry, Anna is doing very well here! She eats well, drinks well, and sleeps well!" Chloe chuckled coquettishly.

Liam's distant eyes darted onto Anna. "You must be a Sagittarius, Ms. Hamilton. Seeing how lazy you are."

How could that woman still eat well and sleep well in this situation! It was the first time he had seen anyone so heedless!

Anna shot a piercing glance at him.

"If I remember correctly, your birthday should make you a Sagittarius too, Mr. Ackman."

Liam’s expression darkened. The entire atmosphere turned awkward.

Chloe was secretly delighted. Anna had offended Liam; she would surely meet a horrid end!

"Haha, Mr. Ackman, don’t mind her. I've spoiled her... Have some tea," Daniel hurriedly smiled and said.

Suddenly, Liam chuckled, taking everyone by surprise. "It seems like you pay a lot of attention to m e, Ms. Hamilton. You even looked into my birthday to check my sign. It looks like we are quite compatible.”

Dumbstruck, everyone stared unblinkingly at Liam, pondering upon the meaning behind his words.

Anna yearned to find a hole in the ground and bury herself in it. She quickly laughed and said, "Haha, of course. I'll be working in Ackman Group after graduation after all. Surely, I should get to

know my future boss a little more."

Liam nodded with pleasure. He gazed at her with earnest eyes.

Suddenly, Liam stood up. He went up to Anna.

"Take me to your room. I'd like to have a look around." "What?!" Anna almost fainted.
