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

Chapter 171 Just to Denounce Them?

No right to say 'no'!

What a domineering man!

Anna felt the pain in her heart worsening. Her gaze turned aloof and his, cold.

"Mr. Ackman, perhaps you felt that it was thrilling to b e with me because I was Bryan Dawson's fiancee!

Now, the marriage between the two of us has been called off. I am no longer your nephew's fiancee. The thrill of danger should have also died down by now!"

Liam's eyes turned colder and scarier. A dense and dark air surrounded him. He was like a demon that descended from the depths of hell-standing above all with a petrifying aura...

"Anna Hamilton, all this while, women were the ones chasing after me. You are the first one to push me a thousand miles away! You better learn what’s good and what's bad for you!

"I’ve told you before, without me, you'll plummet to unreachable depths! You can only rely on me!

"Without me, you have nothing!"

His icy voice bombarded her, making her heart shudder.

"So? You just want a toy, don't you?" Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

She gazed at him with hopeful eyes. She yearned to find a tiny bit of the answer she wanted within those cold and wrathful eyes of his.

Even so, there was nothing on his face besides the frigidity of the deep ocean.

"What do you think?" he responded with a question.

Anna smiled faintly. She closed her eyes, pressing her lips tightly together and not saying a word more.

She was afraid of the agonizing pain that might well u p in her heart if she saw the indifference in his eyes again.

The pain was like a rusted blade thrusting in and penetrating right through her chest. Even her breaths would shake.

Seeing her aloof manner made Liam's flames burn to their absolute limit. He flung her onto the bed. His gaze turned infinitely cold.

At that instant, he had locked away all his emotions and glanced at her with the gaze of a stranger.

"Fine. Anna Hamilton, I'll grant you your wish!"

Having said that, he turned away and strode out of the room.

Anna watched as he left. Finally, the wetness in the corner of her eyes spread out. Huge droplets fell onto the bed, splashing as they hit the surface.

Let it end like this!

It would be best not to start something that she knew she was never going to have.

The things that he wanted were not the things that she wanted!

She could not give him the things he wanted; he could not give her the things she wanted either...

Liam left Anna's room. Just then, he saw Lisa coming with a plate of fruits.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ackman.” Lisa moved to the side t o let him pass.

Seeing his expression, which was as cold as ice, made Lisa worry. "Mr. Ackman, did Ms. Anna upset you?"

Liam suddenly stopped in his steps.

Lisa hesitated for a while, then said in a humble tone," I am just a maid but I can tell that you care a lot about Ms. Anna..."

Liam did not reply nor did he turn his head back. His spine turned stiff.

"Ms. Anna..." Lisa checked her surroundings. When she noticed no one was around, she continued in a lowly tone, "She has lost her mother and had her fiance snatched away by her Ms. Chloe. She was forced into her current state... Ms. Anna truly deserves pity..."

Lisa started to choke up as she spoke.

"You are a man of incredible status and power, Mr. Ackman. Your appearance in Ms. Anna's life and your teachings and concern toward her are all great things."

Lisa genuinely hoped that her precious Ms. Anna would end up with Liam Ackman. It would be incredibly good news if that were to happen!

"Unfortunately, she can’t tell good from bad!" One could hear the untamable rage in Liam's impassive voice.

"Mr. Ackman... if I may be so bold as to ask a favor..." Lisa uttered cautiously.

Liam turned to Lisa confusedly. "What is it?"

Lisa hesitated a little again. Her voice became even lower. "I know I am just a measly maid and I shouldn't be requesting anything from you, Mr. Ackman...

"But Ms. Anna is still young. She has lost her mother a t a young age and in truth, life hasn’t been easy for her all these years. If she had done anything to upset you i n any way, I hope that you can be forgiving and not hold any anger toward her."

Liam's brows knitted more and more tightly together. The pressure he exuded made Lisa hand her head low. She grew even more fearful.

"Mr. Ackman, I noticed that... you seem to care about M s. Anna a lot-that's why I gathered my courage to say this to you."

Liam's flames of fury burnt even fiercer.

Even a maid was able to see his concern toward Anna, yet that woman still heartlessly pushed him away.

"I have watched Ms. Anna grow up. I know her temper better than anyone else. A girl thrown into these circumstances will inevitably build walls around herself for protection. She has never felt a sense of security... So a lot of times, she would shut herself away... in fear of getting hurt."

The frost in Liam's eyes gradually thawed a little.

"Seems like you do care a lot about her." Otherwise, a maid would not dare to say such things to him.

Lisa chuckled embarrassedly. "Unfortunately, I'm just a measly maid who can't do anything to help.”

"It's rare to have someone as earnest as you by her side."

Liam continued.

"Tell her that I've never cared about her. She's simply too weak! How can a person by my side be so useless!"

Having said that, Liam marched down the stairs.

When Daniel saw Liam coming downstairs, he immediately went to greet him again. Both Chloe and Nicole followed behind him.

"Mr. Ackman, have you sent your documents? Do stay for lunch. Anna's mother is a great cook."

Daniel would never let go of a chance to get closer to Liam. If he could, he would grab Liam's arms and force

him to stay at their house forever.

In that case, not only would the Hamilton family prosper, but their status in society would also become nigh incomparable.

Nicole hurriedly agreed, "That's right, Mr. Ackman! It's a rare occasion for you to visit. Food is already being prepared in the kitchen.”

Naturally, Nicole wanted to establish good relations with Liam too.

After all, Chloe was engaged to Bryan because of her pregnancy. However, her status was unstable and they needed a strong powerful man for support.

If she could get on Liam’s good side, it would benefit Chloe tremendously even if he merely put in a good word for her with Grandmother Dawson.

Liam glanced at the eager expression on Nicole's face, then glanced upstairs. Finally, his insidious gaze fell onto Chloe.

"There’s no need. I need to get back to the office for a meeting."

Liam's gaze made Chloe's heart skip a beat. She hurriedly took shelter away from his hostile eyes.

Daniel was a little disappointed. He chuckled dryly.

"Mr. Ackman, you're such a busy man, yet you took time to show concern toward Anna. Thank you for your hard work! One day, I'll be sure to bring Anna to your home to thank you personally."

"Indeed, it is quite worrying. At first, I wanted her to return to campus as soon as possible, but because of all these recent incidents, a lot of progressions in school had been delayed because of her." Liam glanced at Daniel with indifferent eyes.

Daniel felt his chest tightened. He hung his head low shamefully.

"It's my fault for not taking good care of Anna..." Daniel mumbled.

"It's good that you know that."

Those simple words almost suffocated Daniel.

"There have been a lot of things to handle in the company lately, so I've been a little busy... I've been very worried about Anna too..."

Liam nodded impassively. "It seems Ms. Chloe is less worrisome. She got pregnant with a child of the Dawson family before you even knew about it."

The hairs on Daniel and Chloe's bodies all stood on end. Their faces turned ashen.

Was Liam there just to denounce them?
