Chapter 309 Don’t Do That Sort of Stuff
Liam passed the fruit knife to Anna.
Anna clutched the knife in her hands and turned to face Ryan.
Ryan was terrified. He clutched his face in his hands, and screamed, "Ms. Hamilton, I'm sorry, I made a mistake! I will never target you again!”
"It's all my fault! It's my stubbornness! I will change! I won't pester you anymore!"
"I was obsessed with you, I threatened Jennifer Wurst t o target you!"
"I know I made a mistake!"
"I will reflect on myself! I shouldn’t have tried to do that to you! It’s all my fault, it really is..." Ryan lifted his hand and slapped his mouth with every word.
Anna clutched the fruit knife tightly in her hands, her eyes cold and unfeeling.
Liam leaned into the leather sofa, a vague smile curling his lips.
Suddenly, Anna burst out laughing, "The night has definitely been interesting."
Seeing her smile in the dim glow of the lights, she looked beautiful enough to start a war. He couldn’t help the surge of lust that flowed through him.
He quickly shook his head, clearing his mind of those dangerous thoughts, and inched forward towards her. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
"I swear, from this day onwards, I will disappear from your sight completely! We can pretend as if nothing ever happened!"
"No, no, no, nothing did happen between us in the first place! I beg you, Ms. Hamilton, please, give me a chance..."
Ryan lowered himself to the ground, begging Anna.
Liam opened his mouth and said coldly, "Anna, even if you killed him here tonight, it won't be traced back to you.”
His ice-cold eyes stared at Ryan emotionlessly.
"I will take care of his body and make sure there are n o traces."
Ryan was terrified, his soul almost escaping his body, right now he would do anything to obtain her forgiveness.
"Ms. Hamilton, I'm sorry...I made a mistake...I'm really sorry..."
"From the bottom of my heart... Forgive me, I beg you, forgive me please..."
Ryan started sobbing. All traces of the rich arrogant playboy that he was in the past were lost.
Anna gradually unclenched her fist.
The fruit knife dropped to the floor with a thud.
"Get out! I don’t want to see you ever again.” She said quietly.
"I promise, I swear, I will disappear from your sight completely, you will never see me again..."
Ryan scurried out of the room as if he had just escaped death.
Anna remained at her spot, looking at the fruit knife o n the floor, and was reminded of Bryan.
Previously in her own home, Bryan also almost...
Back then she had pointed a fruit knife at him too and successfully protected herself.
Since when were there so many wolves circling around her?
Suddenly she felt cold and lonely. She craved a warm hug to seek some warmth.
She looked at Liam who was sitting on the sofa. He looked at her inquisitively as if asking her why she let Ryan go.
She smiled lightly, uncorked the bottle of red wine on the table, and took a sip.
”82' Lafite, it tastes perfect. Expensive too, want some? It’ll be a waste not to finish it." Anna smiled and said t o him.
Liam didn't move.
"I thought you wanted a drink?"
Liam's pupils shrunk slightly, "Are you blaming me for lying to you?"
Anna shook her head, "Not really, I was just wondering ... I trust every single word you say... but in the end, behind everything you said, lies a shocking truth.”
"It feels like..." Anna frowned and thought for a moment, "As if I was on an amusement park ride, one second I'm flying in the sky, and the next I've dropped to the ground. It's exciting and also...”
Her expression turned calm.
"The whiplash is too strong; I'm worried I won't be able to handle it.”
"I'm helping you get your revenge." He replied."
He was trying his best to consider her feelings, that's why in the car he didn't tell her they were going to see Ryan.
But it seems like she couldn't accept such a lie.
"I hate him! How can he try to do that to me! But I...” Anna took another sip, "I have to face the truth, he did do that to me! I feel so ashamed, I want to forget everything!"
Liam stood up and pulled her into his arms.
“From this day onwards, he won't appear anymore! In Johannes City, the Sanchez Group will no longer exist.”
He wanted to tell her...
'From this day onwards, I, Liam Ackman will protect you, no one can harm you ever again.'
Anna was reminded of the telephone conversation she overheard, Liam said something buying up their shares, and making him disappear.
Was he referring to the Sanchez Group?
Her mood lightened, her heart skipping in joy because she clearly felt his concern and care for her.
But all these weren't enough to stitch the rip in her heart.
Instinctively, she tightened her arms around him.
Because to her, this man was like a gust of wind.
He came unnoticed, without any signs or warnings, but also left unnoticed.
She didn't know when she could catch hold of him.
Just like she didn't know what methods he employed t o throw a tarp over the entire incident, covering it up. That day in the karaoke center many of her classmates saw her and Ryan together in the room...
And yet, not a single word was leaked to the general public. As if it were just a nightmare...
Anna looked at the various bottles of expensive wine o n the table and laughed.
"How I wish Nina were here, she could get a hefty
bonus from all these wines!"
Seeing as she still had the mood to crack a joke, he knew she must be feeling much better.
"Do you want another drink?" Liam asked her sweetly.
Anna chuckled, “Can I?"
"Just the one."
Anna nodded fervently, "Cheers!"
"Wait, wait." Liam suddenly stopped her.
"Why?" Anna was surprised.
"Let's order two of the most expensive bottles in their collection."
"Why waste all that money?" Anna blinked, her big eyes clear as the afternoon sky on a cloudless day.
"The room is billed to Ryan," Liam said smoothly.

Anna gave him a thumbs up.
He was the billionaire CEO of the Ackman Group, and yet so frugal.
Liam only allowed her to drink two glasses, then led her out of the room, intending to head home.
The moment they pushed open the door, the noise from the neighboring room drifted into the hallway.
They could vaguely hear a man's voice screaming and scolding a woman, whilst she cried and begged for his
forgiveness.
"Who the hell do you think you are! Don't you know what I'm here for?"
"I paid for you, so you have to act according to my wishes!"
Anna looked towards the commotion, she saw a man waving his fists about in the air, looking furious.
Liam was worried the sight would scare her and sped up his footsteps.
Anna wanted to rush after him but the woman's cries drifting into her ears made her stop in her tracks.
"I'm not that kind of worker... I'm just a hostess... I don't do anything more... sobs..."
