Chapter 176 Know to Stay in Line
Chloe held her stomach painfully.
"Mom... What now? Will the baby be okay? My stomach hurts so much..."
Nicole hugged Chloe tightly. Her voice was quivering with fear. "Danny, do you see how much
Chloe''s stomach is hurting... What should we do? Let''s... Let''s call the doctor."
Daniel was also frightened. He hurriedly called their family doctor, yet Chloe stopped him.
"Daddy, don’t call the family doctor... If the doctor knows about my condition, it''ll shock the Dawson
family and worry Grandma Dawson. I would bemitting a terrible sin if she falls ill again."
Chloe gazed at Daniel with a pained expression, yet at the same time, she put on a thoughtful and
compassionate look. "If Grandma thinks that Daddy and Mommy didn’t take good care of me...
she''ll get mad at Daddy!
"I’ll be fine after some rest."
Daniel gazed at Chloe. She appeared to be in so much pain, yet she still thought about what was
best for him. He felt gratified.
Although Grandmother Dawson had agreed to let Chloe marry into the family, she only did so
because o f the baby in her. In fact, she was very dissatisfied with Daniel''s failure to keep Chloe
under control, resulting in her robbing Anna of her position.
If something were to happen to the child in Chloe’s womb, Grandmother Dawson would grow hostile
toward him.
"Chloe, are you sure you''ll be fine after some rest? Do you really not need a doctor?” Daniel went
up to her and held her worriedly. "Lie down for a bit. Maid! Pour her a ss of warm water."
Chloe seemed to be feeling better after lying down. The pained expression on her face was slightly
relieved. Even so, she still gazed sorrowfully at Anna.
"Anna, I know that you''re mad about me and Bryan going shopping together... I know I''ve wronged
you...
"But I’m pregnant with a child... How could you hit me i n front of so many people? Waa...
"You even said I was the youngest daughter of this family and was not good enough for the Dawson
family..."
Chloe covered her face as she cried, putting on a wretched act.
"Chloe, Anna said that about you?" Nicole''s eyes turned red too. She hugged Chloe tightly.
Chloe nodded. "She even... She even said that the two o f us only have our eyes on the Hamilton
family''s wealth... She said we... Waa... She said that we were bottom feeders in the family but still
did not know our ce... and made vain attempts to climb the socialdder...
"Daddy, you have to stand up for me! I just refuted a little and she... She hit me... and called me a
shameless bastard...
"Waa..."
Chloe wailed with her hands covering her face.
“There, there, Chloe, don''t cry. It''s not good for the baby ..." Nicoleforted Chloe as she wiped
her own tears away sorrowfully.
"Anna, I''ve been treating you so well all these years. I''ve been more meticulous with you than I was
with Chloe... Even if you think I have not helped you in any way, I still worked hard to raise you...
How could you say... How could you say that Chloe and I..."
She wiped the corner of her eyes as she spoke. From her peripheral vision, she saw that Daniel
was more and more furious. She continued.
"Chloe is still young. As her elder sister, it''s expected o f you to teach her a lesson if she has done
something wrong to you, but... you hit her so hard and said such horrible things... How can the two
of us live on like this?
"Even if you didn’t consider that, you still should have considered the fact that a living being is
residing within her womb right now... Are you trying to end its life?"
Anna watched the mother-daughter duo''s performance silently. She could not help but apud their
ever-improving acting skills.
She turned to Chloe, who was bawling her eyes out in a pitiable state. Chloe wanted to push her
grudge with Jamie onto Anna.
Thus, she directed and acted out a performance all by herself. Not bad!
Anyone who did not know the truth of the situation would surely pity her-perhaps even shed a few
tears!
Anna thought that she must have been too mellow in the past, turning Chloe into the unscrupulous
woman she had be.
"Anna! Look what you have done! How could you do this!” Daniel scolded angrily.
"All this while, I thought you were an educated woman with morals and knew when to take action or
not. I never thought that you could be so unreasonable!" Daniel stared at Anna with scornful eyes.
"Dad, did you forget that I can’t see? How would I know if Chloe and Bryan were out shopping
together? And how could I possiblynd a well-aimed p on Chloe''s face?"
Chloe was staggered.
"Did Chloe purposely stand in front of me and wait for me to hit her?” Anna’s fierce gaze darted onto
Chloe, giving her a chilling feeling in her heart.
Chloe turned her gaze away and started wailing again. "Anna can''t see but others can... You had
clearly gone out with Jamie. When he saw me and Bryan together, the two of you banded together
to humiliate us!”
"Jamie again! Anna, how many times have I told you t o cut ties with thatdyboy? Why won''t you
listen to m e? Did he take part in bullying your sister as well? What good can you possibly learn
from a person like him!" Daniel chided sternly.
"Dad, I''ve also told you many times-he''s my best friend!"
The air surrounding Anna suddenly turned icy-cold and so did her eyes.
Daniel was stunned. His mes of fury poured out ferociously. “Chloe is your little sister! What
happened to your temper and self-control? How could you be so rash and not think about the bigger
picture!"
Chloe''s eyes curved into crescents. In her heart, she was overjoyed. She decided to add fuel to the
fire.
She sobbed, "Daddy, it''s all my fault. I didn''t think about Anna''s feelings. I deserve her ming and
scolding! I''m just worried about the baby in me, that’s all. Perhaps it was the shock that made my
stomach hurt a little..."
Daniel hurriedly sat beside Chloe. "Is it bad? Don’t worry, if you can’t take it, I''ll surely find you a
doctor."
Chloe quickly hugged Daniel’s arm and said in a coy manner, "I''m okay, Daddy. I’ll be fine after
some rest. You must be tired after a day’s work. I feel sorry that I''m making you worry about me.”
Daniel gently patted Chloe''s little hands. He red at Anna and fumed, "Next time, be a good girl
and stay at home! Don''t go outside and cause all kinds of trouble! Don''t make me anxious about
you!
"Just focus on recovery so you can go back to school a s soon as possible! Don’t let Mr. Ackman
come and chastise us again!”
Anna slowly clenched her fists and hid away the chilling look deep within her eyes.
She smiled and said calmly, "Dad, you must think I''m pretty useless right now."
"Anna, how dare you talk to me like that!" Daniel stood up abruptly with a dark expression on his
face.

Nicole hurriedly interjected, "Anna, your eyes still have not healed yet, so it''s not entirely Chloe''s
fault that the Dawson family called off the marriage! Do you think it has nothing to do with your eyes
at all? Don’t think that everyone in this house has wronged you! W e have all been trying our best to
take care of you too!"
Anna nced at Nicole with cold eyes. It seemed that Nicole needed to be reminded that she had
not gotten her revenge on Chloe for injuring her eyes yet.
"Anna, you better know to stay in line!" Daniel fumed.
Nicole and Chloe exchanged nces with each other.
Flowers were blossoming in their hearts from joy.
Nicole hid her delight deep in her heart and put on a concerned expression. "Danny, Anna is just a
child. She still has the temperament of a little girl. Don''t be mad at her. It''s not good for your health
either."
Annaughed wryly in her heart. “Okay, Dad. I''m going upstairs to reflect on my actions now! By the
way, Dad, it''s too early to draw conclusions on some things. No one can know who is the ultimate
victor until the final chapter!”
