Chapter 12 Getting Naked Already? How Blunt of You


    All the guests were discussing Grandmother Dawson''s special guest.


    When Anna overheard their conversation, she felt ripples forming in her heart.


    Although she did not know Liam Ackman personally, she had definitely heard of him before.


    Liam was a mystery among the upper ss. He was the prince of the Ackman family’s billion-dor


    empire-a man loved by God himself.


    Countless rumors surrounded the man, among which included word that he was a cold-blooded


    man who would destroy hispetition without hesitation.


    Only a few years had passed since he took over the family business. In those few years, the


    Ackman family steadily rose up the global wealth ranking and had then joined the top ten billionaires


    list.


    A distinguished man like him naturally had tens of thousands of women chasing after him. After all,


    he was tall, handsome, and rich-down to the bone.


    However, all those were merely rumors. Liam never appeared in the media. Even if he did, it would


    just be a blurry picture of his tall figure from behind.


    In the upper ss social circle, countless women dreamed of marrying into the Ackman


    familybing Liam Ackman''s wife. There was no greater honor than that.


    Much to their dismay, the golden boy had no interest i n women. In fact, he was a gay man who


    frequented gay bars.


    Bryan stood beside Anna, constantly asking her if she was tired and if she wanted to rest. His


    tender and loving act was the envy of many bystanders.


    Chloe stood on the other side of Anna. She clutched tightly onto her handbag. Turning to Anna,


    Chloe smiled. "Anna, Bryan is so nice to you. I''m so jealous! Bryan, after you both get married, will


    you treat me with such kindness too?"


    Bryan turned to Chloe and smiled warmly. "You''re Anna''s little sister. That makes you my sister too.


    I''ll definitely treat you as family."


    "Bryan, you''re the best!" Chloe shed a sweet smile at him.


    Standing between Bryan and Chloe, Anna felt immensely ufortable. She yearned to choke


    those two-faced bastards to death.


    Anna turned away and left. Bryan quickly followed behind. "Anna, where''re you going?”


    Anna did not even bother to look back.


    She simply spat out, "Bathroom."


    Chloe’s coquettish voice sounded from behind. "Bryan To her surprise, Bryan did not even look


    back. Instead, he followed Anna to the bathroom.


    Enraged, Chloe was subtly grinding her teeth.


    Bryan had caught up to Anna. "Anna, why didn''t you tell me about your surgery? I could have kept


    youpany at the hospital. I could have taken care of you.”


    Anna''s gaze was cold. In her eyes, any care that Bryan showed was nothing but an act.


    Bryan noticed her indifferent attitude. His chest tightened. "Anna, what''s wrong?”


    Anna smiled and replied, "Nothing at all! Can''t you see I''m fine?”


    Bryan gazed into her beautiful bright eyes. His heart skipped a beat. He never knew how beautiful


    her eyes were without her sses.


    He muttered to himself for a while, then quietly asked, "Hmm, Anna, a few days ago, did you..."


    Bryan stopped and never continued.


    Anna turned her head toward him and asked softly," Did I what?”


    Bryan’s star-bright eyes stared straight into her gorgeous irises. He did not want to miss out on a


    single twitch on her face; he wanted to take in every emotion she disyed.


    Nheless, to his disappointment, Anna kept on her faint smile, her expression not changing the


    least bit.


    Seeing that Bryan was keeping quiet for a long while, Anna questioned, "What were you going to


    say?"


    "Uh... N-n-nothing!”


    Anna turned away and went into the bathroom. Bryan left promptly after.


    As he walked away, he turned back and gazed at the bathroom again-suspicion filled his heart.


    ''Was she the one that left the knife in front of my bedroom?’ he wondered.


    The incident almost scared him to death!


    Bryan had pondered upon it for a long time. He settled on the assumption that Anna was too meek


    to do something like that. Perhaps a maid had misced the knife when she was cleaning the


    house.


    However, when he thought about her cold behavior toward himtely, he realized that there was


    much about this woman he could not unravel.


    The old Anna would disy all her emotions on her face, making her extremely easy to read, but


    the new Anna...


    She had abandoned her dull appearance and blossomed into a beautiful rose, taking everyone by


    surprise.


    Bryan''s lips curled up slightly. Her eyes glimmered


    with interest.


    "Hmm, interesting."


    In the bathroom, Anna stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection. Finally, she could wipe off


    the smile on her face that made her cheeks ache.


    Quietly, she whispered to herself, "Anna Hamilton, there is still a long path ahead. Stay strong."


    The party went on for two hours.


    Anna''s eyes were getting ufortable. She followed a maid to the guest room.


    Anna entered the guest room that the Dawson family had prepared just for her. She took off her


    high heels, giving her sore feet a break.

    Wanting to take a bath, Anna took off her dress.


    As she was taking off her dress, the captivating voice o f a man sounded from a far corner of the


    room.


    "Stripping the moment you came in. How blunt of you."
