Chapter 137 That Two-Faced Man!

Terrified, Anna quickly stopped James from leaving the car.

"No, don’t go! What fresh air do you need! It's not like the car is stuffy! Let’s leave right now. I want to go home."

James turned to Liam, then to Anna. In his heart, he lamented being caught in the tug of war between those two.

It was a difficult position to be caught in the middle of them!

One of his long legs had already stepped outside the car door. At that moment, he had no idea if he should leave or stay.

"What are you thinking about?" Liam asked Anna again.

He yearned to know what was in that tiny head of hers!

Anna covered her face awkwardly. There was no way she would tell him she was thinking about the wild ' exercise’ they did in the car last time. It would embarrass her to no end! She quickly composed herself and gazed at Liam with a serious face. She spoke in a deep tone.

"You're the one behind today's incident, aren’t you?"

"What incident?"

"Don't act dumb! You know more about it than me!" Anna rolled her eyes.

"I don't know anything."

Anna ground her teeth. "What is your purpose for doing this?"

Liam turned to James, who was sitting in the driver’s seat. He asked, "What is your purpose for doing this?"

James had a troubled expression on his face. He wiped away the beads of sweat on his forehead. "Mr... Mr. Ackman..."

'Can Mr. Ackman not amuse himself at the expense of his subordinate? He was the one that ordered me to do

it!’

"I just said add something to their food. I never said that kind!" Liam had an ambiguous expression on his face.

"Then what kind were you talking about?" James was staggered.

"You can add salt, chilies, wasabi, laxatives, poison, all sorts of..."

"That’s enough, Liam Ackman!" Anna was enraged." How does Grandma finding out about this benefit you i n any way?"

Liam's brows scrunched tightly together. He glared at Anna. 'Throwing a tantrum in front of me? How dare

she call me by my full name!’

"So what, if she finds out about it? If they have the guts to do it, why would they be afraid of someone finding out?" Liam grumbled angrily.

It was true that Liam never specified to James what h e should add to their food, but there was no harm in him choosing that either. After all, the little affair was bound to be revealed sooner or later.

In fact, it would cause them even more distress if they had to keep sneaking around in the shadows.

Was that little lady getting mad at him because of Bryan?

"Revealing their affair would only cause the entire situation to collapse. What good would that bring you? Why would you want to get yourself involved in this mess!" Anna wanted to know if Liam did it for her sake or simply did it out of pure boredom.

However, her tone and choice of words did not sit well with Liam. It only made the flames of fury in his heart burn even fiercer.

"Anna Hamilton, I don’t know if you're acting dumb to make others lower their guard or are you seriously this stupid!"

"I may be stupid, but at least I know not to overstep m y bounds!"

"What would you know about that?" "Letting Grandma know about it might be too big of an emotional blow to her! What if she collapses again..." "Do you think she will let that happen?" Liam’s voice turned hoarse.

Anna staggered. Grandmother Dawson's emotional intelligence was indeed not something to be underestimated.

"The dumbest person here is you!" Liam might have said that, but in his heart, he was wondering how Anna could be so kind and innocent.

Everyone was busy scheming against each other, yet she was still wasting her time worrying about others and thinking from their perspectives.

Liam's heart suddenly ached for her. He yearned to pull her into his embrace and give her the pampering she deserved.

James noticed Liam's gaze toward Anna gradually heating up. He could not bear being the third wheel any longer. He hurriedly found an excuse.

"Mr. Ackman, I-I... I really need to pee!" Having sat that, he quickly hopped out of the car and ran away.

Anna wanted to stop James but Liam had pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly.

"I'm helping you. You should learn to be more grateful."

"Helping me?" Anna's heart softened a little. Even so, she maintained her stubborn act. "Why don’t you just help me become the CEO of Lincoln Group then?"

"You wanna fight tigers even though you're incapable of it?"

11 H

Did he have no confidence in her?

Anna pouted her dainty lips. "I will try my best to better myself. I believe in myself and I know that I will, one day, succeed in taking over Lincoln Group and becoming its CEO!"

Liam kept silent for a second. "You’re just a woman."

Anna’s heart shuddered. She felt a sourness spreading from deep within her heart.

“So what, if I’m a woman? We can do whatever men can." Anna forced a bright smile onto her face. Her eyes glistened beautifully.

Liam looked down and gazed into her eyes. He gently brushed his finger across her curled and luscious eyelashes. The prickly sensation on his fingertips was enchanting.

His heart raced and he hugged her tighter.

He wanted to hold the little lady in his arms forever. His heart ached, seeing her constantly trying to act strong. He wanted to shelter her in his broad embrace and keep her away from the wind and storm.

"I’ll have to look at your performance before I help you."

His lips curled upward. As he gazed at her fair and beautiful face with deep, profound eyes, the smile on his lips turned ominous.

Anna's face abruptly reddened. She grumbled quietly," Pervert!"

"What did I say? You're the one with a twisted mind!"

"..." That two-faced man!

Every second of the day, he was setting up traps for her!

Liam touched her nose with his finger affectionately." Alright, I won’t toy with you anymore. Let's get you home.

"You better be a little smarter. Don't make me worry about you needlessly.”

James was wandering around deep in the wilderness by the street. Suddenly, he saw the car leaving. He darted onto the street and chased after them.

"Mr. Ackman! Mr. Ackman, I'm still here!"

Nonetheless, the car had long been driven away, leaving him far behind.

Stranded on the road, James pouted dismally.

It seemed like Ms. Hamilton was the only person and thing in Liam’s eyes. After meeting her, he had long forgotten about that assistant of his.

Liam arrived at the Hamiltons’ home. After watching her enter the house, he spoke to the man he thought was in the backseat.

"James, take the wheel."

However, there was no reply.

He turned to the back and was surprised to see that the backseat was empty.

"Where's James?"

Only then did Liam realize he had left James behind o n that street! Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Chloe was sent home by the Dawson family's driver. The driver passed on Grandmother Dawson's message to Daniel without missing out a word. Hearing that, a huge flame of fury burnt within Daniel.

“Chloe, what did you do in the Dawson family mansion? You have angered Grandmother Dawson!"

Naturally, Chloe did not dare to say that Grandmother Dawson might have discovered her little affair with Bryan. All she did was shake her head.

"Daddy, I didn't... I didn't do anything."

Daniel asked Anna about it, but Anna also shook her head. "I don't know, Dad. You should ask Chloe about i t."

Anna could not bring herself to speak of the nasty things Chloe and Bryan had done.

“Chloe, why are you being so unruly lately! I'm disappointed in you!" Daniel reproached in a booming voice.

"Daddy, I was wrong. I will surely... I will surely be obedient from now on. Don’t be mad, Daddy..." Terrified, Chloe started crying.

She was scared out of her wits. Grandmother Dawson seemed to hate her a lot. If her father were to grow to dislike her too, she would have no chance of turning her situation around.

"Daddy, I'll change! I promise I'll change!” Chloe sobbed and begged.

Daniel shot a fierce glance at Chloe. "If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for disregarding our relationship as 'father and daughter'!"
