Chapter 313 Might Not Be a Bad Idea After All
Liam stood outside Nina''s house for a long time, only turning to leave after ensuring the lights were
turned o n in her house.
As he walked, his mind drifted to Anna, how she looked when she was angry, and how she tried her
best to tter him. Heughed and shook his head.
Her sincerity and love for her friend were admirable qualities.
But he still felt a little jealous.
Why didn''t she care about him as much as she did her friend?
Even if it were only for one day, if he could be the person she cared about the most, that seemed to
be a pretty good thing.
He lifted his head and looked at the first rays of sunshine peeking through the clouds.
Suddenly, he found himself looking forward to that day...
Nina returned home and started sobbing her eyes out.
Anna sat beside her, apanying her friend with a single word, crying along with her.
Anna didn''t know about what was said between Nina and Liam, she thought Nina was just crying
because of the incident in the club.
"Nina, don''t worry. With Mr. Ackman behind you, that man wouldn''t dare trouble you anymore."
"Quit your job at the club, and stop going there. I''ve discussed it with Mr. Ackman. If you have any
problems in the future, just talk to him. Even if he won''t help you, he won’t just leave you to die."
Anna hugged Nina tightly in her arms, and decided, n o matter what problems her best friend faced
in the future, she would share the burden with her.
She already had an agreement tying her to Liam, Nina was nothingpared to the trouble he
brought her.
Nina cried for a little while more, sniffed, and said in a soft voice, "Mr. Ackman isn''t all-powerful
either... I don''t want to trouble him. The one he likes is you, he’s only obligated to you alone."
"Who told you he likes me! He doesn''t like me!" Anna was reminded of how he denied it every time
this issue was brought up and an ache shed through her heart.
She waved the negative emotions away and continued encouraging Nina.
"He is all-powerful! Even if he isn''t, he is inparison to the two of us!
Just think about today, he just stood there and all our problems were solved! The man didn''t even
dare let
out a single peep!"
Anna remembered how in all the time she had known him, no matter what problem she faced. No
matter how tough the situation became, as long he was there, they were all resolved with a wave of
his hand.
That man...
Besides the fact that he didn''t like her, he didn''t have any other shorings, did he?
The perfect man that he is, he must have countless admirers?
But where did his heart actually lie?
"In this world, there’s only one man like him. Anna, you have to appreciate him." Nina wiped her
eyes dry and said, her voice thick and raspy with use.
Anna pursed her lips and said nothing.
The only thing that tied them together was an agreement.
There was nothing to appreciate.
But thinking about it, forming an agreement with a man like him seemed to be quite a good idea.
At least she didn''t lose out!
But she knew the agreement woulde to an end one day.
By then, he wouldn''t belong to her anymore.
Or more appropriately, he never belonged to her. He just needed her temporarily.
Then when he didn''t need her anymore, who else would he need?
The ache in her heart increased, red rimming her eyes.
"Anna, what''s wrong?" Nina could sense the change in Anna''s emotions.
"No, nothing! The sun is up, why don’t you take a nap? You still have to go to the hospital. Don''t cry,
it’s all in the past! I can pretend I didn’t see anything, nothing happened.
We are best friends, you don’t have to feel ashamed. Friends are meant to understand and treasure
each other, and not look down on or sneer at each other."
Nina enveloped Anna in her arms, voice stuffed with emotion, "Anna, I''m so d I have you."
The incident in the nightclub was taken care of without leaving a single trace.
Nina quit her job at the club, and everyone promised there would be no rumors or murmurings
about her.
Anna knew the master behind the scenes was Liam.
Tomorrow was the day they were scheduled to report for work at the Ackman Group.
The various incidents that urred in the past few days were enough tost her a lifetime.
She was exhausted, to say the least.
First, she was tortured by Liam and didn’t sleep at all the whole night, then she apanied him to
the cruise ship party, then they went to the Earldom Club t o take revenge on Ryan, and then she
met Nina...
Anna just wanted to go home and take a nap, and report to work at the Ackman Group in her best
condition.
But s, the heavens had their own ns.
"Oh, dear Anna, you didn''te homest night.”
Chloe approached her, studying her from head to toe." Why are you so tired? Where did you go to
partyst night?
I heard the cruise ship party ended at 1 amst night, even if it took you an hour to reach home, you
should’ve been home by three, no?
It’s noon now, how are you only justing home now?"
Anna suppressed the yawn that was fighting to break out of her, "Why are you busy poking your
nose into m y life when you should be focusing on the baby?"
"It''s like I want to keep track of your schedule, but this morning a few invitations came in the post for
you. They''re all invitations to parties, and millionaire parties at that!" Chloe said jealously.
“I wonder who you were withst night! The invitations have been drifting in like snowkes!" Of
course, Chloe didn''t know the situation on the cruise shipst night.
Parties like those were usually kept top secret, even if they all hailed from the upper echelons of
society, they were also further divided by ss and prestige.
Based on the Hamilton''s wealth and influence, they didn''t even stand a chance at entering the deck
of the ship.
Even the Dawsons didn''t.
But even if Chloe asked her who she met at the party, the topics of conversation, Anna would have
to say she didn''t remember.
Because all the guests in the party were the big yers in the industry, out of reach for her.
They just addressed her politely because of Liam.
And all of her concentration had been focused on Liam, and the mysterious ''her'' the seductive
woman mentioned.

"Now that you''vended Mr. Ackman, the world does look different." Chloe gritted her teeth, taking
another step closer to her.
Annaughed, "What is the point of this naked jealousy?"
"I’m jealous of you? Do you think the two of you willst? He''s just having fun! Or he’s just using you
as arm candy, don''t you know he doesn''t like women?"
Anna wanted to rebuke her words so badly.
Not only did Liam like women, but his lust also could never be satisfied.
But, she would never say that aloud.
She yawned tiredly, "You''re right, I was so busy socializingst night, I''m exhausted.”
"Oh right, I met a president of a bank, President Lee, h e said someone bought a big insurance n
for a bracelet. That''s weird, why would someone buy an insurance n for a bracelet?" Anna could
clearly see the moment Chloe''s face turned pale.
Annaughed softly, "Chloe, maybe you should focus o n the baby! Haven''t you heard of the phrase
‘the brave die first''? And you, my dear sister, are too brave for your own good."
"All that you deserve, you have already enjoyed. Sometimes it’s better to stop when things are still
going your way, don''t you think?"
Anna stepped past Chloe and headed upstairs.
She knew Chloe and her mother had ns for the bracelet.
She didn''t want to get involved in their issues, but if they continued forcing her hand, they had no
one else to me but themselves.
