Chapter 119 Eating Dinner, Not You


    Anna rested in the guest room for a while. After that, she let a maid help her down the stairs.


    Bryan was not home and the marriage discussion was not sessful. Thus, it was not wise for the


    Hamiltons to continue staying in the Dawson family mansion.


    Daniel felt that it was about time to announce their departure to Grandmother Dawson too. That was


    when he noticed Chloe''s disappearance.


    "How dare she run around in the Dawson family''s home! How unruly!” Danielined


    displeasedly.


    He used to think that Chloe was an obedient and adorable little girl. He thought that he could use


    her beauty and toxic personality to find her a good family t o marry into in the future.


    However, the little brat seemed to be growing more and more unruly while bing less likable.


    "Chloe was in the living room just now. Perhaps she had gone to the washroom," Nicole hastily


    exined t o Daniel.


    "What are you waiting for? Go look for her!"


    Daniel red at Nicole, making her tremble in fear. She hurriedly ran off to look for Chloe.


    "Dad, don''t be mad. Chloe is still a child. It''s normal for her to be a little yful." Anna spoke in


    Chloe''s favor.


    Daniel scoffed. "She really doesn''t know how to read the situation and is always making others


    worry about her!"


    Daniel nced at Anna and gazed into her dim and hollow eyes. He sighed internally. In the end,


    Chloe was no match for a girl born and raised in a wealthy family.


    Unfortunately, his elder daughter, who knew how to read the room and knew how to stay in line, had


    lost her vision.


    Anna lifted her head and gazed at the beautiful garden outside the window. Amidst the blooming


    flowers, she could vaguely see Chloe hiding behind the bushes, talking on her phone.


    Although she could not hear Chloe, judging by the vibrant smile on her face and the crescent-


    shaped curves of her eyes and brows, Anna could guess that she must have been talking to Bryan.


    Anna felt her heart being tugged at. She quickly shifted her gaze away and stared in another


    direction.


    Anna had postponed the wedding. Chloe could not resist the temptation to tell Bryan the good


    news.


    She hid behind the bushed, smiling joyously as she held her phone in her hand. "That''s right, she


    said it herself! She said she doesn''t deserve you! Even if she didn''t lose her sight, she still doesn''t


    deserve you!"


    Bryan kept silent for a while. In an ambiguous tone, he asked, "She postponed the wedding? Are


    you sure she said that willingly?"


    "Ya! She said that in front of Grandma and my dad! Isn''t this great, Bryan? We will have more time


    to think about how we can be together now!"


    Bryan was a little distressed. He simply replied," Chloe, I need to go. I''m hanging up.”


    "Hello? Bryan..."


    Chloe pouted. She gazed at her phone with a woeful expression on her face. "Shouldn''t we be


    chatting more after receiving such great news? Do you not know how much I miss you..."


    Just then, Nicole found Chloe. She poked her head hard.


    "You really are bing dumber by the day!"


    "Mommy, what did I do!"


    "Do you think Bryan will be happy about his marriage with Anna being dyed? Yet you are stupid


    enough t o tell him through the phone! Don''t you know this will only make him dislike you more?"


    Nicole tugged at Chloe hard.


    She continued in a whispered tone, "Are you even clear on the reason why he wants to marry


    Anna? With her as his wife, he could take over the entire Dawson family! What will he gain from


    marrying you? He may be sticking to you like glue right now, but men will always put business


    before love. In the end, they will always choose the women that bring them benefits!"


    "Mommy..." Chloe''s eyes turned red. She clung to Nicole''s arm. "You have to help me! I put in so


    much effort just so I can be with Bryan today. I can''t let my efforts go to waste.


    "If one day, Bryan decides he doesn’t want me anymore, I would be left with nothing!"


    "I won''t let you be left with nothing, but right now we must be extremely vignt. We can’t let Anna


    gain any more power!”


    "It''s all Anna''s fault! Both of us are Daddy''s daughters, so why does she have an advantage over


    me in everything!" A piercing look of malice and resentment appeared in the corner of Chloe''s eyes.


    "I must think of a solution. Bryan and the Dawson family belong to me and none other! I will make


    sure she gets stomped below my feet!"


    Nicole returned to the house with Chloe. Daniel shot a n angry nce at Chloe, making her hang


    her head low.


    Daniel brought all of them to Grandmother Dawson''s room to announce their departure. Just as he


    pushed open her bedroom door, she heard Grandmother Dawson''sughter from within the room.

    "Yes, yes. You really do pamper me the most, Liam."


    Liam?


    Liam Ackman?!


    Anna’s entire body shivered. Before she even saw who was in the room, she hurriedly took a step


    backward from the door.


    She hid outside the door, but Liam’s eyes seemed to be able to detect her through the wall. His


    piercing eyesnded on her in one nce.


    "Hamilton, aren’t you gonnae in and say hi to your mentor?" Liam said in an insufferably


    arrogant tone.


    Anna''s whole body trembled. She forced a smile onto her face and felt her way along the walls. She


    acted exceedingly like a blind person.


    "Mr. Ackman, you''re here? If you are, of course, I will greet you. Hahaha..."


    Daniel smiled and quickly came over to guide Anna in front of Liam. "Anna, your mentor is right


    here. Quick, greet him."


    Anna straightened her back and bowed her head in the direction of Liam. "Good evening, Mr.


    Ackman!"


    U H


    The corner of Liam''s lips twitched a little.


    "Mr. Ackman, I am here to say goodbye to Grandma. W e still have some things to do at home, so


    we will be taking our leave." Anna smiled obediently, just like a good student who respected her


    teachers.


    Grandmother Dawson frowned. "Didn''t you say you would stay for dinner? Your uncle is here too.


    It’d be nice to have a big dinner with everyone."


    "It''s okay, Grandma! Let''s wait for Bryan toe back. Then, we''ll have dinner together.” Having


    said that, Anna could see the cold gaze Liam was shooting at her. She yearned to cut off her own


    tongue.


    Bringing up Bryan in front of Liam was like digging her own grave!


    Grandmother Dawson was a little disappointed. "It''s a rare asion that your Uncle is here. I was


    thinking that you could get to know your Uncle better. He''ll be o f great help for your future in the


    business world."


    Anna''s chest tightened. "Haha, Grandma, I’m already very familiar with my uncle. No need to get to


    know him more..."


    "Very familiar indeed." Liam’s chilling voice interrupted her. There was a deeper meaning in the


    words he just said, making Anna quiver all over.


    "You two know each other well?” Grandmother Dawson gazed at Liam and Anna with astonishment.


    Anna was caught in an awkward situation.


    Perspiration was starting to form on her forehead. "U h, Grandma... U-unc..."


    Anna wisely swallowed the word ''uncle''.


    "He''s my mentor and also my next-door neighbor in the hospital, so naturally, I know him well.


    Hahaha..." Annaughed awkwardly.


    "Ah, I see!" Grandmother Dawson smiled. "Anna, do stay for dinner! I know your uncle looks aloof


    on the outside, but he''s actually very friendly."


    Friendly?


    Anna turned to Liam with a surprised expression. She identally saw the mes and ambiguity


    deep within Liam''s eyes. Her heart raced.


    Liam smiled at Anna. "We’re eating dinner, not you. What are you afraid of?"
