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

Chapter 316 Fell for Her

Without anyone or anywhere else to vent her anger, Chloe thrashed her room.

Until there was nothing left to throw, she pressed a palm to her aching belly and sat on her bed.

She kept repeating Anna’s words in her mind and felt a surge of panic rise in her chest.

She wouldn't tell Grandma, would she?

If she did, she was done for!

Even though Grandma Dawson was willing to shut one eye to the truth, it was all because she had no concrete proof.

If there was solid proof, Grandma would be forced to open both of her eyes wide.

After pondering the question for a long while, she still couldn't figure out a plan.

She muttered under her breath, "Anna, you sure are funny! If you knew the truth, you would definitely go t o Grandma and tell on me! You must be lying, trying to scare me!"

Right then, the pain in her belly worsened.

Suddenly, Chloe felt afraid.

Recently, the pain in her belly had worsened and occurred more frequently.

She forgot about her anger, fumbling through the drawers to find the medicine used to protect the fetus, and hurriedly washed it down her throat with water.

She remained silent and waited for a while, the pain i n her stomach seemed to subside.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

She sighed a breath of relief.

She gazed out the window at the pitch-black night sky in hatred.

Because Liam's car was parked under a tree around ten meters from the entrance to their house.

"Anna Hamilton, I don’t believe people will accept your twisted relationship with Liam Ackman!"

"I don’t believe Grandma will accept the two of you!

"Even if she does, Daddy will definitely not!"

Chloe picked up her phone and contacted the paparazzi she hired before.

"Follow Anna Hamilton again. As long as you can give me useful pictures, I will reward you handsomely."

Anna entered Liam's car and urged him to drive away.

Liam laughed, revving up the engine.

"Are you that impatient?"

"What do you mean impatient? I don't understand! But what are you doing at my house again?"

Liam stole a glance at her out of the corners of his eyes, "What do you think?”

"How do I know what you want!"

Anna had just engaged in an all-out war with Chloe. She was exhausted, both physically and mentally, she didn't have the energy to play mind games with him.

"You're in my car now, that's what I wanted."

Anna rolled her eyes at him, "I’m really exhausted and tomorrow I have to report for work at your company. I'm completely drained. I'm not an insomniac like you either, I can't stay awake and remain fully energized without sleep."

"I don't like you calling me an insomniac."

"Then you're a patient."

"I don't like that too."

"You can't sleep! This should be fine, right!"

Liam insisted on denying the truth, "I just couldn't fall asleep, the night is still young.”

Anna glanced at her wristwatch, "It’s already III! It's late! Early sleepers are already fast asleep!"

Liam continued focusing his attention on the road," For night owls, the fun has just started.”

Anna glared at him, "You must have been living a messed-up life, that's why you've grown into the habit of not being able to sleep at night!”

Anna was reminded again of the 'her' the seductive woman mentioned.

She wondered how badly she was tortured by Liam until she couldn't take it anymore and left him.

Liam didn't say anything but asked her instead.

"How do you plan to thank me?"

His words came all of sudden.

Anna froze, "What?"

Liam glanced at her out of the corners of his eyes, " What did you say?"

Anna scoffed, "I won’t thank a black-hearted man like you."

Liam raised his brows.

Anna continued, "You brought me to the Earldom Club, precisely because you knew Ryan was there and wanted to teach him a lesson. You did it on purpose, why should I thank you."

"I wasn’t referring to that," Liam answered.

"You purposely brought me to the cruise ship party because I would be working at your company soon. When I went out to discuss business deals, I could use your name and it would be easier for the deal to be completed. It's all to benefit you, so why should I thank you." "I wasn’t referring to that either."

Anna was confused, then what else could it be?

But she understood.

Liam brought her to the cruise ship party to expose her to the circles of the uber-rich, building her social connections.

It would help her immensely in the future when she took over the Lincoln Group. She could not see a single drawback to this plan.

"I won’t thank you!" Anna repeated angrily.

"Why?" Liam continued his battle of wits with her.

Anna gritted her teeth, staring at his sculptured face unblinkingly, and said proudly, "Firstly, you won’t bring me to the party for no reason! Even if you won't admit it, it's because it'll be easier for

me to secure deals for you in the future after I join the Ackman Group."

"That's also because you want to kill off the rumors that you’re gay! You want to make yourself straight!"

Liam felt like he was going to vomit blood.

"Secondly, you purposely acted like you were sad and downtrodden as if you were riddled with problems because you wanted my sympathy, so I would accompany you to the bar for a drink, and run into Ryan Sanchez."

"Thirdly, I'm highly suspicious that you already knew about Nina working there, that's why you've always been against the idea of Nina and Dr. Hart getting together."

Liam listened to her analysis of his psyche and laughed quietly.

"If I didn't want her to be with Michael, why didn't I just invite him to the club to take a look, that’s much simpler and more direct, isn't it?"

Anna pursed her lips, "There are two possibilities."

"One, it’s because you see Dr. Hart as a good friend, you don't want him to get hurt. Even though there's nothing much going on between them and Nina didn't do anything with that man."

"But you know Dr. Hart has fallen for her."

"The other possibility, Nina is my best friend. Maybe you were worried I would be unhappy if Nina really did that..."

Her voice gradually softened.

"That’s why, while we were teaching Ryan a lesson, you took the opportunity and exposed me to the truth

H

"Even though I would be unhappy, compared to the alternative, this was the better option."

Anna stole a glance at the light smile lines at the corners of his lips as if he didn't care about anything she was saying.

Instantly, Anna felt frustrated, and she said unhappily,

"But, I think the possibility of the second scenario being true is near impossible.”

"Hah, why?"

Liam felt this little woman was sometimes brilliant but at other times as stupid as a donkey.

Even though her analysis made perfect sense, when h e heard her utter the word ‘impossible’, a sour aftertaste filled his mouth.

As if she was pointing at his nose and saying, "You don't care about my feelings at all."

Anna was a little down.

She remembered his past actions and words, sorrow surging through her uncontrollably.

Then she added bitterly, like a woman wronged," Because I am nothing more than your pet, you have no feelings for me." u n

Liam's breathing stuttered and he started feeling irritable.

He stepped on the brakes and stopped the car at the side of the road.

He leaned towards Anna, looking into her bright eyes, and said solemnly, "I told you to thank me, but it’s not for any of these.” "Then what is it?"
