Chapter 17 Casanova
Grandmother Dawson held Anna''s hand. "Liam, isn''t Anna beautiful?”
Liam''s expression remained indifferent. However, when he saw that Anna had changed into a more
modest outfit, his lips curled up slightly with satisfaction.
"Yea, not bad. She looks... like an obedient girl."
''Obedient?'' Anna''s contempt for him grew even more. ''I s he hinting that my bite wasn’t hard
enough just now!''
Grandmother Dawson quickly took Bryan''s hand too and ced it together with Anna''s. "I am so
happy that these two can be together.”
Liam''s cold gaze fell onto their sped hands. His eyes became narrower and narrower and he
abruptly let out a cough.
“Cough, cough!”
Grandmother Dawson quickly asked in apassionate tone, "Liam, are you not adjusting well t o
the weather here?”
Liam pointed at Bryan andmanded, "Bring me a ss of water."
As the precious son of the Dawson family, Bryan had never served others before. Nheless,
when it came to Liam Ackman, Bryan was more than willing to listen. He hurriedly let go of Anna''s
hand and left for the ss of water.
Anna wiped her hand ufortably; she genuinely felt that Bryan''s touch was filthy.
Liam noticed her subtle actions and saw the hint of disgust in her eyes. He raised his brows slightly.
Just then, Bryan came back with the ss of water and presented it to Liam with both hands.
"Uncle, your drink."
Liam nced at him. He took the ss and immediately handed it to a maid standing beside him.
Bryan''s expression froze for a second. He smiled awkwardly.
Then, Liam took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands elegantly. He handed the
handkerchief to the maid too.
In his deep voice, he said, "Aunty, let’s start the party."
Grandmother Dawson quickly announced themencement of her birthday party.
The Dawson family had invited many renowned singers to dedicate songs to Grandmother Dawson.
They had also hired a famous band to perform live at the event.
The atmosphere in the garden turned lively. Dozens of celebrities gathered on the stage as if it were
a massive concert.
The moment Liam got off the stage, he found himself surrounded by a horde of singledies. Each
of their faces was glowing red as they stared into his oceandeep eyes, casting flirtatious nces at
the man.
Suddenly, a tall and beautiful woman in a purple dress sauntered toward them with a ss of wine
in her hand.
"Grandma Dawson, happy birthday. I wish you a young and healthy life!”
"Good girl. Thank you. Do visit me often with your parents, dear," Grandmother Dawson smiled and
said.
"Of course, Grandma, we will." Her gazed shifted toward Liam as she said that. She smiled and
extended her lovely hand.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ackman. My name is Selena Flores. I''ve heard about you since ages ago. It’s
such a n honor to be able to meet you today. Do stay for a drink or more."
Selena continued, "The Flores Group had coborated with yourpany before. My father is
Jason Flores."
Anna gazed at Selena. She was gorgeous. Her little dimples showed every time she smiled. Her
long and slender legs were smooth and fair.
Anna mocked quietly, "Already caught a fish in his, huh? Tch, what a Casanova!"
Nheless, an odd feeling of difort overcame Anna. Perhaps she simply could not stand
seeing
yboys like him.
Liam''s expression remained aloof. His ocean-deep eyes showed no hint of warmth. His thin lips
only formed three words.
"Don''t know him."
Having said that, he walked straight past the staggered woman and ambled away.
Anna watched as Selena stood awkwardly at her spot. Her face was shing red and white. Anna
had three seconds of silence for the poordy...
After seeing this scene, the horde ofdies who were eager to approach Liam was immediately
discouraged. Many of them gave up.
Although they, too, were subdued by Liam''s pompous attitude, thedies still ridiculed Selena for
not knowing her ce.
With the help of a maid, Grandmother Dawson sat down at the main table.
The main table was a marble splice long table. It was not particrly wide, but it was very long.
That was to amodate all the rtives of the Dawson family, both close and distant, and their
few highly esteemed guests.
Once Grandmother Dawson had taken her seat, she quickly beckoned everyone else to sit down.
"Have a seat, everyone. Don''t be shy.”
Those on the long table were seated ording to their status. Of course, Grandmother Dawson sat
at the head of the table. On her two sides were the seats of those with the highest status in the
Dawson family.
Naturally, Liam was one of those people. With his status, no one wouldin even if he were to
sit at the head.
Nheless, Grandmother Dawson was an elder, so Liam settled for the seat on the left of hers.
On her right sat the eldest grandchild of the Dawson family-Bryan Dawson.
Beside him was his sister, Amelia Dawson.
Once the members of the Dawson family had been seated, the guests were seated ording to
their family’s ranking.
As Anna was helping her father, Daniel, to his seat, she heard Grandmother Dawson calling out for
her. i
"Anna,e here! Come sit beside me.”
Bryan was about to sit down on Grandmother Dawson''s right when she said that. He froze at the
spot, his face turning slightly red.
Amelia was already in her seat when Grandmother Dawson said that. She had to get up and move
to the next seat to make way for Bryan.
To see that her status in the family had fallen from the second to the third irritated Amelia.
When Amelia noticed that Bryan''s expression was also gloomy, she snickered and mocked quietly,"
Bryan, when Anna marries into this family, she''s be a rank above you! Hehe..."
Bryan felt humiliation at the bottom of his heart. The feeling turned to haze and seeped into his
blood.
Anna hastily declined. If she sat next to Grandmother Dawson, she knew she would arouse the
hatred of many.

Even so, Grandmother Dawson insisted on it. Anna had no choice but to take her seat on
Grandmother Dawson''s right. When she looked up, she saw Liam sitting right across her, gazing at
her.
A chill ran down her spine. She felt the coldness seeping into her heart...
