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

Chapter 183 She Didn't Love You

Chloe had hired paparazzi to tail Anna. Although they saw Anna entering Liam's car, they only got a blurry photograph of Anna from behind. It had no potential o f becoming breaking news at all.

However, Liam threw them off too quickly. That was the only photograph she got.

Chloe was furious that she could not get anything on Anna at the first attempt. "I don't believe that their relationship is as simple as mentor and mentee!”

She called the paparazzi again and instructed them to keep an eye on Anna twenty-four-seven. She wanted them to watch her every move. If anything suspicious was to occur, they must report to her immediately.

After that dinner with Liam, Anna had been cooped up in her room for days again.

Chloe was growing impatient.

"Mommy, when I went to the Dawson family dinner two days ago, Grandma Dawson brought up Anna in front of everyone! She said that the Dawson family had wronged her and will compensate her accordingly in the future. They don't want the outsiders calling them heartless and unjust."

Nicole inhaled sharply. She covered her mouth and whispered, "The fact that Grandma Dawson said all those in front of the entire Dawson family must mean that she plans to provide Anna with extremely generous compensation."

"Exactly! I haven’t even married into their family yet! Will they give everything to Anna instead?" Chloe caressed her belly with both hands. "All that wealth belongs to me and my child! No one can take them from us!"

"But who would dare to oppose Grandma Dawson's words! Who can make her change her mind?" Nicole cried anxiously.

Chloe was also growing vexed. "The worst part is that Grandma Dawson is not the only one who thinks we have wronged Anna-Bryan thinks the same too!

"There's only one solution-we must find a way to let Grandma Dawson know that Anna and Bryan's wedding was not called off just because of him! In reality, Anna had wronged Bryan too!

"That way, Grandma Dawson won't think that they owed her anything and naturally, will not compensate her either!"

"But Chloe, Anna doesn't seem to have done anything wrong to Bryan."

Chloe clenched her fists tightly. "I don't believe she’s that innocent! Even if she didn’t, we will make it seem as if she did!"

Ever since Bryan heard about Grandmother Dawson's arrangements, he had been doing all sorts of charity work in the community. He needed to cleanse others' views of him and, at the same time, rebuild the Dawson family's reputation.

The Dawson family had invested heavily in a charity foundation. Bryan even named it 'Anna's Promise Foundation’. In an interview with news reporters, Bryan explained the meaning behind this project.

"While I was still in a relationship with Anna, we once discussed plans to establish a charity foundation aiding the education of children living in rural areas. Back then, we had decided on the name, Anna's Promise Foundation, entailing our unbreakable promise to help those who are in need.''

Everyone was shocked by Bryan’s commitment to doing charity in the name of Anna.

"Mr. Dawson, is this your way of apologizing to Ms. Anna?" a reporter asked.

Bryan lowered his head with remorse. "I have certainly made mistakes in our relationship, but I have also given her my genuine love. Now that the mistake has been made, I have no choice but to try and make amends.

"I will hand over this foundation to Anna after it is stabilized. This will be my compensation for her."

The crowd of reporters broke out into a loud commotion the moment Bryan said those words.

The Dawson family poured millions into the foundation. Along with other sponsored investments, that charity foundation had become an organization with immense funding. One could well imagine the amount of profit it would bring.

Bryan said another word of apology to Anna in front of all the reporters. His sincere manner had gained the forgiveness of many.

The press conference had come to an end. Just then, Bryan received a call from Chloe.

"Bryan, it has been days since we last saw each other. I miss you so much... Will you come to visit me at my house?"

Hearing Chloe's coquettish tone made Bryan's heart skip a beat. He loosened his tie and lounged comfortably on the sofa.

“Chloe, I have been quite busy these few days. Be a good girl and stay at home, alright? Take good care of the child. The doctor had said that you can't do any rigorous exercise in the first three months."

Chloe grumbled coquettishly, "Bryan, you’re so bad! Do you think I only want to see you for that? I genuinely miss you. I want you to keep me company for a while.

"The baby misses its Daddy too. Do come and visit us."

The child was Bryan's soft spot. He needed the child s o he could take over the Dawson family sooner.

"Alright, I'll head over right now!”

Chloe hung up happily and glanced in the direction of Anna’s room. Her eyes sparkled ominously...

Bryan was willing to give such a huge foundation to Anna. That was something Chloe would never allow to happen!

Bryan sped to the Hamiltons’ home in his car.

Chloe darted toward him with a bright and cheerful smile on her face.

"Bryan, I miss you so much! Did you miss me?” Chloe landed a kiss on his cheek.

"I missed you too. I want to lay you on a bed right now.”

Chloe's face reddened. She pounded on his chest gently and said in a coy manner, "Humph! How can you still be so naughty now that you're a father."

Bryan smiled. "Is Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton not home?”

"They went out. I think they'll only be home at night. Being home alone is so boring. It's awesome that you're here to keep me company!" Chloe affectionately hugged his arm.

"You really are a little devil.” Bryan kissed her cheeks.

Chloe wrapped her arms around his neck. Her alluring body slowly slithered onto his.

Bryan hurriedly pushed her away. He glanced upstairs in the direction of Anna’s room.

"Uh... Is your sister home?”

Chloe felt jealous. "Bryan, are you afraid that Anna will be unhappy if she sees us together?"

"Why would I be afraid of that!” Bryan scoffed disdainfully. "We’ve already broken up! Besides, she doesn't care." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"I just think..." Bryan was a little hesitant. "Perhaps we shouldn't be so brazen in front of her. We’ve wronged her after all."

Chloe was a little annoyed, yet she still smiled and said, "Bryan, she has no value to you anymore! Why would you think you still owe her something?

"Bryan, she didn’t even love you!"

Bryan grew a little mad. "What did you say?"

"She threw out all the roses that you got for her! I’ve seen them lying on the field behind the house with m y own eyes!"

"What?" Bryan scrunched his brows tightly together. His disbelief was evident on his face.

"I was worried that you’ll be sad, so I never told you.”

Chloe noticed that Bryan's expression was getting darker and darker. The look of delight in her eyes grew more and more intense.

"It's not just that! She has even hinted at me that she doesn't like you. She wished for us to be together! She deliberately pretended to be the victim in front of the reporters and made us the target of everyone's anger and insults. She wanted to be the good guy. In truth, she has a lot of ill will in her heart! We have all been deceived by her. She had never planned to marry you i

n the first place."

Bryan’s expression had darkened to its limits. He glared in the direction of Anna's room door with eyes a s cold and as piercing as swords. His gaze threatened t o penetrate through the door.

The corner of Chloe’s lips curled up. She leaned into Bryan's ear and whispered.

"Bryan, I'm not sure if I should tell you this, but there's something that I've been suspicious of for a long time."
