Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)

Chapter 304 Accessory

Nicole and her mother glanced at each other.

In front of Daniel, none of them spoke.

Because they could tell, Daniel was desperate to collaborate with the Ackman Group. He wanted to tug on the rope that was Liam Ackman.

If Anna could help him secure this rope, he would only celebrate if Anna and Liam grew closer.

Chloe returned to her room, and said to her mother furiously, "Previously Daddy was biased towards me because I could use the baby to secure my position as the future Mrs. Dawson. But it’s the other way round now! Anna is full of tricks indeed, she could land a man like Liam to beat me down! She made him come t o our house on purpose, to show me who's boss!"

Nicole pulled Chloe onto the bed, gently caressing her protruding stomach.

"You are pregnant, don’t get angry! Don’t worry, your belly is your trump card to success. Who knows what the deal is with Anna and Mr. Ackman?"

"But Mom, look at how Dad completely switched his tune!” Chloe stomped her feet in anger.

Then, Chloe lowered her voice and asked, "What about the money? Does Daddy know anything? Is that why he’s not on our side anymore?”

"Don't worry, I've sold the bracelet. The money is in m y hands now! Tomorrow, when I get the chance, I’ll send it to that bastard, and make him get out of our lives!" Nicole answered."

"Chloe, don't worry, I’ll talk to your father, I'll make sure he doesn't put all of his hopes on Anna!"

Chloe nodded, "Mommy, you’re the best!"

Nicole made a cup of tea and brought it to the study for Daniel.

He was reading his work documents and didn't even bother raising his head to look at her.

Nicole hesitated and said quietly, "Daniel, it’ll be perfect if Anna can be with Mr. Ackman!"

"That way, at least we won't feel so guilty about the issue with Bryan..."

Daniel raised his head slowly, his expression calm like the sea on a windless night.

She continued tentatively, "I wonder how far into their relationship they've progressed, and how long this can go on."

"Sigh, if they're just having some fun, then Anna's reputation is ruined. Mr. Ackman is Bryan's uncle after all."

Daniel lay on the back of his chair, took a sip of his tea, but remained silent.

"If they are really in love, then in the future Anna will b e Mrs. Ackman, her status will rise to incomparable heights!"

At her words, Daniel's hands trembled.

Nicole suppressed the gleam in her eyes, and continued softly, "The Ackman Group is worth billions of dollars! The Lincoln Group is nothing in comparison to the Ackman's, it is nothing but a piece o f dust." Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Daniel put down his cup of tea and looked towards his wife.

"I know what you’re trying to say! I won't let Anna marry into the Ackman family, they can't be together!"

Daniel refused to let Anna climb above him, then he would be nothing but an ant beneath her feet.

"The situation now is perfect! As long as I play my cards right, and get what I want out of them." Daniel put down the cup and continued browsing through his documents.

Even though Nicole was glad Daniel didn’t intend to let Anna's relationship with Liam continue, she was still disheartened.

If he could even use his own blood-related daughter this way, what was she and Chloe to him?

It looks like she had to make her own plans for the future.

Otherwise, she would have nothing to show for her years of effort.

Anna sat in the car, uptight and cautious.

Somehow, she felt the dress was too tight, hugging her figure like a glove, exposing her body for all to see.

She didn’t like figure-hugging clothes like these, they were too sexy and seductive.

She stole a glance at Liam sitting beside her. His black suit, tight and immaculate, every little detail sewn to perfection.

He looked serious and calm.

She scoffed under her breath, did he really think of himself as an honorable man?

"What did you say?" He asked her.

Anna panicked, "No... nothing!"

"I heard you saying something," Liam raised his brows inquisitively.

"I said..." Anna flushed red, “I was talking about Nina, I wonder how she's doing, she must be having a hard time in the hospital. I should give her a call."

To hide her awkwardness, Anna hurriedly dialed Nina's number and started catching up with her.

Liam started to grow impatient.

He was bored and Anna kept chattering away with Nina, ignoring him completely. His scowl deepened.

Finally, Nina grew impatient too and ended the call.

Liam held in his laughter, "Your best friend hung up o n you."

Anna clutched her phone tightly in her hands, lips twitching, "I'm the happiest when my best friend hangs up on me!"

Liam's expression darkened, "You're happy?"

"Yes!"

Liam remembered the times Anna hung up on him, his displeasure growing in his chest.

"I'm not."

He suddenly leaned down, and she scurried backward in shock.

James was driving in the front seat.

Liam wouldn't touch her in front of James, would he?

Liam raised his brows, tone cheeky, "I heard... happiness is infectious."

"How... how would it spread?” Her lips trembled.

He lowered his eyes and watched her cherry-red lips, Adam's apple rolling in his throat.

Anna’s breathing stopped, and glared at him with all her might, "Don’t you dare!"

She hurriedly pressed a palm against her mouth.

Liam bowed his head and bit her hand gently, "I’ll eat

you up if you continue disobeying me."

Anna's heart started racing, the sensation of his cool lips on her hand and the slight pain from his bite turning her limbs to jelly.

She hurriedly turned her face to the side in anger, staring at the passing scenery, to hide her bodily reaction.

"I... I know!"

Looking at her shy expression, Liam chuckled lowly.

He decided to stop teasing her and said seriously," Recently, someone has been mentioning Nina to me every time we talk. It seems like his feelings are starting to grow."

Anna turned towards him, eyes bright, and chuckled lowly, "You realized too?"

"Yeah."

At the thought of Michael Hart's helpless expression, h e wanted to laugh.

Even though the Harts weren’t as rich as the Ackman, they were still considered one of the richest families i n the city.

In a family like that, combined with Michael's well-behaved personality, it was difficult for him to find a suitable partner to fall in love with and marry.

In love, Michael was definitely a newbie.

And people like him were easily tricked.

Liam still insisted Nina and Michael were not compatible with each other.

"Feelings are the most unpredictable and unreasonable things, it’s best to stay away from them!" Liam scoffed disdainfully.

Anna’s heart ached.

Were these words meant for her?

Liam turned and met her watery gaze, her beautiful features imprinted in his deep-set eyes, voice magnetic and charming.

"To me, I already have the strength above everything else. Everything and everyone must surrender to me and be controlled in my hands.”

Feelings are just a redundant accessory. In my eyes, those who want to fall in love are just naive and stupid."

H fl

Anna was momentarily speechless.
