Chapter 192 Too Deceitful
Anna, too, was shocked.
He was buying a bridal boutique for her?
Did he not buy all those wedding dresses for her to admire already? How did her gift turn into an
entire boutique?
It was too...
Anna ced her hand to her head. What was going on this time? Did she have a choice to not
ept it?
When she felt Liam''s assertive and domineering gaze, Anna had no choice but to lower her head
compliantly and dispel any thoughts of resistance. She bore it like aisant little sheep.
The female employees had long been entranced by Liam’s air of superiority. In their eyes, Liam was
the only god glowing before them.
"I want to be Mr. Ackman''s student too. What a blessing!''''
"No! I want to yell ''we are together''! Mr. Ackman pampers Ms. Anna too much!"
"I envy and admire her so much! My heart is melting too..."
The female employees gazed at Liam and Anna with widened eyes.
Just then, an employee approached with two dresses and asked Chloe in a monotonous voice, "Ms.
Chloe, shall I pack up your wedding dresses?"
The employee''s attitude waspletely different when Chloe first entered the store. This made
Chloe’s heart ache.
How could she be in any mood to buy wedding dresses!
Just as Chloe was about to decline, Anna slowly opened her mouth.
“Since I''ll be the owner of this store soon, I''d like to propose a new rule," Anna smiled and said. Her
eyes were as clear as water.
The owner of the boutique stood beside Anna in an unctuous manner. "Go ahead, Ms. Anna."
Anna nced at Chloe, who stood frozen in her spot. She smiled and said, "Any customer who
comes to this store and tries on a dress must purchase the dress they tried on."
Everyone was confused and taken aback.
Chloe knew Anna''s words were deliberately targeted against her. Enraged, she chided in a high
voice," What kind of dictatorial rule is that? What kind of store makes their customers buy whatever
they try o n? What kind of logic is that!"
Anna maintained a calm and pleasing smile on her face. "Wedding dresses are not the same as
normal clothes. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! If you are not cautious when making a choice,
you would go through one dress after another. This reflects on one''s attitude toward life. It shows
that they are people who are not firm with their decisions. They want toy their hands on whatever
they think can bring benefit t o them, not caring about whether it suits them or not!" 1
Everyone knew Anna was subtly mocking Chloe and Bryan. Suddenly, thunderous apuse
sounded.
The employees all started voicing their opinions.
"What Ms. Anna said is correct! When choosing wedding dresses, you should stay with your choice
from the beginning till the end instead of changing dresses left and right!"
"Exactly! The customers are always going through a million dresses, thinking this is nice, but the
others are nice too. However, in the end, they only buy one, making us run around all day for
nothing."
"With this new rule of buying everything you try, the customers will be more cautious when making
their pick and properly consider which dress suits them best!"
"Exactly! There won''t be any customers who onlye in to take selfies either."
Chloe''s face reddened again. That was because she, too, had taken pictures when trying on the
dresses and posted them onto social media, showing off the joyous moment of shopping for a
wedding dress with
Bryan.
The employee who was holding the two dresses handed them over to Chloe. With a vibrant grin on
her face, she said, "All the customers who shop in our boutique are quite well off. I''m sure you can
afford one or two wedding dresses."
Chloe''s entire body trembled. She red at Anna resentfully, yet Anna continued to smile sweetly
as if she could not see Chloe''s hateful and sinister stare.
Meanwhile, Bryan yearned to find a hole in the ground and bury himself in it. He hurriedly took out
his card. However, just as he was about to swipe it, Chloe stopped him.
"Anna, you still haven’t be the boss of this bridal boutique, so your rule shouldn''t be
implemented yet,” Chloe grumbled as her lungs heaved heavily. She was not fine with being
trampled over by Anna like that. She had to find a way for her to take a breather.
Unexpectedly, she was only humiliating herself again.
"Since Mr. Ackman has already expressed his intention to buy the store, Ms. Anna will be the owner
of the boutique right this instant!" The owner of the store knew how to read the air well and sided
with
Anna.
"Chloe, just buy the dresses. It’s not like Bryan can’t afford them." Anna put on a faint smile as her
eyes twinkled.

Enraged, Chloe yearned to howl her heart out, yet all she could do was clench her teeth and endure
it.
Bryan red at Chloe furiously. He hurriedly handed his card to the employee then courteously
excused himself from Liam.
"Uncle, it''s gettingte. I''ll have to head home to have dinner with Grandma."
Liam nced at Byran, then nodded.
"Uncle, I shall take my leave first!" Having said that, Bryan strode toward the exit without even
ncing back.
Chloe noticed that she was being abandoned again. She hurriedly said goodbye to Liam. Then, she
shot a hateful nce at Anna again before scurrying toward the exit to catch up to Bryan.
Anna was exhausted-not because of her fight against Chloe but because she had tried on 127 hefty
wedding gowns. She apuded her own strength for still being able to remain standing for so long.
"I''m so hungry." She turned to Liam and rubbed her empty little belly.
Liam raised his brows. "Your treat."
"Why?”
Liam nced around at the huge and luxurious bridal boutique. "Compensation."
"You did it at your own will!" Anna was annoyed.
"Think of it as a rebate," Liam replied.
"No rebates! You''re the one who wanted to give this to me. Who would ask for a rebate after that!
It’s illogical! You''re too deceitful!”
Liam was walking in front of her. As he gazed back at Anna, his lips curled up into a charming
smirk. "I am a businessman. There''s no way I''ll make a loss out of a transaction!”
"A transaction? Do you mean you want to get some benefits from me?" Anna mumbled.
Liam ced his hand to his heart. "I’ve given so much of my blood, sweat, and tears. You have to
compensate me. You need to know that when ites to human rtions, you must reciprocate the
gifts and kindness of others."
"What rtions do you and I have? You''re the one that took the initiative to buy me a birthday
present, yet I have topensate you for that? Who the hell does that!" Exasperated, Anna pouted
her dainty lips.
"The 127 wedding gowns are birthday presents, but the bridal boutique is not! So..." Liam paused.
His lips curled up into a mischievous smile. "If you don’t want t o treat me to a meal, you can
compensate me in other ways too."
Anna could feel the ambiguity in his gaze. She hurriedly hugged herself and red at him with
vignt eyes.
"Fine! Dinner it is!”
Just as Anna was about to follow Liam out of the boutique, an employee chased up to her with her
handbag in hand.
"Ms. Anna, you forgot your handbag."
Anna hurriedly thanked the employee. To her surprise, the employee whispered to her with flushed
cheeks.
"Mr. Ackman is so good to you. If you can, go out with him."
Anna''s cheeks instantly flushed red. "You’ve misunderstood! All of you have misunderstood us."
"We can all tell that the warmth and pampering which Mr. Ackman shows you is enough to melt
everything away!"
Two more employees came up to them and smiled brightly as they told Anna, "All our hearts have
melted! Ms. Anna, a blessing hase knocking on the door. You must not let it slip away!"
"Don''t worry about it being unconventional! Mr. Dawson has wronged you! You should rub it in his
face!"
"Be Bryan Dawson and Chloe Hamilton’s aunt and trample them to death! You have our
support!"
"That''s right! We all support you!"
Anna blushed. She left the bridal boutique.
Liam was waiting for her in front of the car. Behind him was a field of bright light which made his tall
and attractive figure glow brilliantly.
Anna tilted her head and shed him with a smile as splendid as a blooming flower. "Let''s go for
dinner. Let me make it up to you well."
