Chapter 356 Protective Measures


    Bryan pulled Anna into a guest room and closed the door.


    "Bryan, what are you doing? This is your home."


    He grabbed her arm and pinned her to the wall, so she couldn''t move.


    "You got together with my uncle during Grandma’s birthday right here in my home, didn''t you?"


    "I spent a few days thinking about it and I finally remembered. That night Ryan Sanchez slept in


    your room but you weren''t there. In the end, the person who vouched for you was my uncle."


    "Everyone thought my uncle was a righteous man, he wouldn''t lie, but looking at it now, he was just


    covering up for you and your dirty deeds!"


    Anna struggled against his hold, "Let go of me, let go o f me now! If you don''t let me go right now, I’ll


    scream! Let Grandma know what you''re doing to me."


    "Great, go on and shout! Call Grandma, and let her know about the dirty rtionship between you


    and m y uncle!"


    Anna was afraid.


    Her rtionship with Liam was, after all, an ugly affair.


    Even though the public was rife with spection, as long as the parties did not admit it, their


    statements were nothing but empty spections.

    That’s why Grandma suddenly gave her the bracelet.


    She must have noticed this!


    But Anna couldn''t guarantee how Grandma would treat her once she found out about her and Liam.


    And her rtionship with Liam wouldn’tst time.


    A yearter, the agreement would be terminated.


    Liam would leave her, she would have to bear the pressure of public opinion again and in the end,


    she would be the only one who suffered.


    It was better to hide this matter now and keep it a secret from everyone.


    At least she could then maintain her own image and sessfully take over the Lincoln Group in the


    future. That was her n.


    Bryan’s fingers knocked into the jade bracelet on Anna’s wrist.


    He was stunned.


    Chloe had long sinceined to him, saying that Anna had stolen Grandma''s bracelet, the


    family heirloom.


    "This bracelet is really with you!"


    Anna was furious and finally shook him away.


    "This was just given to me by grandma. It''s not what you think, I didn''t steal the bracelet!”


    "Also, if your intelligence is limited to this, it seems that you will not have much room for


    improvement in the future."


    If someone else talked to him like this, he would have been infuriated.


    But now, he liked her cold look.


    "Anna, when you put on the bracelet Grandma gave you, does it mean that you still care about me?


    Do you want to be mine?"


    Bryan looked at her thin, pale wrist, the bracelet shining in the reflection of the light, and he was so


    happy that he wanted to hug Anna and kiss her deeply.


    Anna quickly held her hands up against him.


    "Don''t touch me."


    Bryan was a little annoyed, a crackle of mes bursting out of his eyes.


    “Hmm, it seems like you’re loyal to my uncle.”


    Anna wanted to pull the door open, but couldn''t no matter how hard she tried.


    He grabbed her thin wrist again and pulled her back towards him.


    He clutched her shoulders roughly and said with a shout, "Anna, let me tell you, everyone says my


    uncle doesn''t like women and that he likes men instead, but I know another version of the story. Do


    you want to hear it?"


    "What... what version?"


    Every time she was faced with Liam, she would be fragile and sensitive, splintering into pieces


    with a single touch.


    She looked at him, panicked, somehow, she had a hunch that enormous pain was on its way.


    "Some say my uncle was once hurt by a woman, that''s why he doesn’t like women anymore!"


    Anna couldn''t hold it in anymore, a wave of pain bursting through her.


    No woman could ept the fact that the man she loved had loved another woman before.


    "My uncle just received a call from a woman and left very anxiously."


    "You didn''t see the expression on his face, he looked a s if the earth was about to be destroyed."


    Bryan exaggerated the story, admiring the pain on Anna''s face.


    "He doesn''t love you at all, and yet you still gave your heart to him, why are you so stupid?"


    Anna raised a hand and pped him on the cheek with all her might.


    "You betrayed me, what right do you have to say that t o me?"


    Anna’s bloodshot eyes were filled with tears, and yet she still stubbornly held them in, not letting a


    single tear fall.


    Because of his betrayal with Chloe, he knew he had wronged her.


    Bryan stroked his stinging cheek, nced at Anna but didn''t say anything, opened the door, and


    strode away.


    She leaned against the wall, wiped the dampness from the corners of her eyes, and forced her


    tears back into her eyes.


    She wouldn''t cry!


    "Anna Hamilton, you have known for a long time that he doesn''t love you, why are you crying! Why


    are you hurting?"


    "You are so stupid Anna, why are you so stupid!"


    Chloey on the hospital bed, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she was pped by her


    mother.


    Ignoring her stinging cheek, she grabbed her mother''s arm and asked anxiously.


    "Mom, what did the doctor say? My child, is he okay?"


    Hearing her words, her mother’s temper rose even further, and said sternly, "Your child? You’re


    lucky to b e alive, and you still want your child? How foolish are you!"


    "What?! Mom, what do you mean? That’s impossible, I can''t live without my child, no, no..."


    Her face was pale. She looked panicked as her body shuddered. Terror sprouted in her chest then


    spread t o her icy limbs.


    "What are you doing, dressed this way? You know you are pregnant, and yet you can''t bear it for a


    little while? And now, the child is gone. What are you going to use to tie down Bryan, what do you


    have to take to stand firm in the Dawson family!"


    Nicole was so angry she felt like her body was going to burst into mes.


    When the doctor in the unlicensed clinic she found announced to her that the child was gone, she


    knew they were done for.


    Everything was over.


    Nicole looked at her dazed daughter, despair flooding through her too.


    Chloe was her daughter. When something like this happened, the one who suffered was Chloe


    herself.


    Moreover, their top priority now is not to me her, but to quickly find a way to hide this matter.


    She sighed and sat down by the bed, "What happened yesterday?"


    "The doctor told me that in there, you have men''s semen in you"


    Chloe was so embarrassed, her face flushed red.


    She thought she was pregnant, so she didn''t take any protective measures...


    Chloe moved her chapped lips and cried out, her cries sounding heart-wrenchingly painful. 1


    Seeing her like this, Nicole felt distressed and anxious, she kept patting her shoulder, "My dear, are


    you still in the mood to cry at this time?


    The doctor said, your child showed signs of abortion, i f it wasn’t too intense, it would not have


    harmed the child at all.


    You dug your own grave, my dear Chloe!"


    "Mom, you can help me think of a solution, right? Quick, think of a solution! What should I do? What


    should I do? I''m finished, I''m really finished, without the child, the Dawson family will kick me out!"
