Not eating you...

Liam's words were really letting everyone's imaginations run wild!

Everyone turned to Liam in shock. Their expressions were full of confusion and awkwardness.

Anna yearned to look for a gap in the floor to bury herself in. At the same time, she wanted to pounce onto Liam, rip him up into pieces, knead them into a ball and toss it away.

Grandmother Dawson turned to Liam, then to Anna. Anna's heart raced with fear. She was afraid that the sharp old lady would notice some clues about them.

Anna quickly laughed and explained, "Ah, Mr.

Ackman is always so scary! He always looked like he's about to devour us, students! He's the scariest mentor i n the whole university. Every student will be struck with terror whenever they see him. Hahaha..." Liam's expression turned dark and so did his gaze.

Anna quickly said, "It's rare that Mr. Ackman is here to see you, Grandma. We won't be disturbing you any longer then."

Liam's face darkened even further. His eyes grew a few degrees colder.

Anna could feel a chill down her spine. Her surroundings turned cold as winter. She hurriedly turned away and felt her way toward the door.

However, after taking just two steps forward, she felt a s if she had lost all strength in her body. Her legs could not move another inch.

That was because she could feel two pairs of icy knives stabbing at her back, forcing her to freeze. She felt a cold breeze on the back of her neck. Anna was afraid that if she had taken another step forward, she would be decapitated.

Anna closed her eyes and hesitantly walked in reverse. She took a deep breath and turned around, flashing a vibrant smile at Grandmother Dawson.

"Dinner sounds good."

Grandmother Dawson grinned from ear to ear. "Good, good. We are a family after all. We should have a rowdy dinner together. I love it when the house is lively."

Daniel let out a sigh of relief. He could finally smile.

Naturally, Daniel would not want to let go of this opportunity to have dinner with Liam and establish a better relationship between them. Besides, he could use the chance to put in a good word for Anna so she could work in Ackman Group when she graduated. Then, all would be well.

Nicole and Chloe exchanged glances with each other. They felt like Liam held some animosity toward Anna, yet at the same time, they could not shake the feeling that Liam treated Anna differently from everyone else.

If Liam had some kind of admiration toward Anna, the pillar Anna was leaning on would become even larger and even harder to topple.

Chloe let her thoughts flow for a while. Then, she carefully observed Liam's gaze at Anna. She furrowed herbrows.

Chloe could not help but feel that there was something odd in the way Liam looked at Anna.

Although his eyes were as cold as ice, and yet his gaze, exceedingly overbearing, there was still a discernible look in his eyes that mirrored that of a lover's gaze.

Could she be imagining it?

Dinner went smoothly. Liam only talked to Grandmother Dawson from the beginning till the end. He did not even glance at Anna, making Anna feel as if she was not that important in his eyes anymore. She was glad that Liam was not making her life hand, yet at the same time, she was disappointed by the man's fickle heart.

After dinner, Grandmother Dawson dragged Liam into the living room to chat.

"Liam, are you recovering well? While you were in the hospital, I wasn't in the best of health either, so I didn't visit you all that while." "It's nothing serious. I was just admitted for a regular check-up. No need to worry about me, Auntie."

"You were admitted for so long just for a regular check-up? Are you sure you're alright?" Grandmother Dawson gazed at Liam worriedly. She was afraid that he was lying to her.

Liam was in no hurry to reply to Grandmother Dawson. Instead, he glanced at Anna from the corner of his eyes.

Anna was puzzled by his gaze. The corners of her eyes twitched a little.

Why was he looking at her? What was his problem! She had nothing to do with it!

"It's really nothing serious. My eyes were just a little uncomfortable, that's all. It's probably because work has been a little tiring recently," Liam replied.

Anna almost burst out laughing. 'This is karma!'

His eyes must be uncomfortable because he was looking at things that he should not have seen!

Liam glanced at her with eyes as sharp as knives. Anna quickly pressed her lips tight together and buried her urge to laugh out loud.

Everyone chatted for a little while longer. From time to time, Daniel pushed Anna toward Liam with an expression that indicated his intention for Liam to take care of her.

Anna felt as if she could die from awkwardness.

However, in front of so many people, she could only smile respectfully at Liam. She did not dare to act even a little hastily.

"Of course I would take good care of her. Her performance truly is commendable, but..."

Liam deliberately dragged out the word and paused. H e gazed at Anna with an indecipherable look in his eyes.

"She's a little rebellious, which makes me worry about her."

'Tch! What is he saying! That old man makes it sound like I'm worrying him to death!' Anna thought.

"Oh, hahaha..." Daniel laughed. "Anna, make sure you listen to Mr. Ackman next time. You can't upset him."

Liam was pleased with Daniel's words. His eyes curved a little.

He gazed silently at Anna, then said, "Did you hear that, Hamilton? You must listen to me and never upset me."

"Of course, of course. I wouldn't dare to upset you, Mr. Ackman." Anna quickly laughed and nodded. The sweat on her back had already seeped through her clothes.

'Listen to me and let me do whatever I want to you.

'That must be what that huge pervert is thinking!'

As they were leaving the Dawson family's home, Liam followed them out too.

Anna was scared that she would not be able to escape from Liam, so she hurried away in quick steps with Chloe guiding her. Although she did not want to experience Chloe's driving again, she was even more afraid of falling into the hands of that pervert, Liam.

She would rather deal with Chloe, the little wolf in sheep's skin, than dance with the big bad wolf that was Liam.

Just as Anna was getting into Chloe's car, Liam's overbearing voice sounded from behind her.

"Hamilton, get in my car," he ordered.

Both Daniel and Nicole turned to Liam in shock.

Nonetheless, he did not feel as if he had done anything wrong at all. On the contrary, he was confident and self-righteous.

"We're heading to the university. There's an internship flowchart I want to give you," said Liam.

"But it's already so late. Tomorrow, I'll..."

Before Anna could finish, Liam interrupted, "I don't have time tomorrow!"

UH

"Anna, hurry up and thank Mr. Ackman. Go on. Go with him," Daniel prodded.

Chloe turned to Liam, then to Anna. "Uh, Uncle... Anna's vision is bad. It's inconvenient for you to take care of her. Why don't I accompany Anna there?"

Liam's piercing cold eyes darted toward Chloe, making her inhale sharply. All the hair on her body was standing on end.

"My car has no space for women."

The only way his words could be more insulting was if he added, 'Even if you were the eldest daughter, you still aren't worthy of sitting in my car!'

Chloe's face flushed red. 'So Anna isn't a woman?'

Liam entered his car coolly and opened the door to the front passenger seat.

Daniel quickly helped Anna into his car and even helped her buckle her seatbelt.

He smiled at Liam and said, "Mr. Ackman, I'll leave Anna to you! Thank you for your care towards her. One day, I will be sure to visit your home to thank you personally." Following that, Daniel reminded Anna, "You have to listen to Mr. Ackman, okay? Don't be stubborn! Mr.

Ackman is personally driving you to school to get your internship flowchart. It's a very important item! Remember that he's doing this for you out of respect for Madam Dawson."

"I... I understand, Dad."

Anna forced a stiff smile onto her face. She yearned to grow a pair of wings and escape.

She did not want to face Liam alone. Did they not know he would devour her whole!
