Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)
Chapter 130 Rest Assured, I Won't Hurt You

Anna annoyedly tossed her phone aside. She massaged her painful wrist and silently cursed Charles, calling him a lunatic and a pervert.

A few seconds later, her phone chimed again.

Anna could not hold back her curiosity. She grabbed her phone and saw that it was a text from Charles.

Anna's heart stopped. It was impossible to block his account!

How odd!

Charles:

Anna sweated profusely. Was he asking about her blocking him or what?

Why was that man so mysterious? It was as if every message he sent had a deeper meaning unfathomable to Anna.

Charles waited but did not get a reply from Anna. He wisely predicted that she did not understand the meaning behind his text. Thus, he asked blatantly. When Anna saw this message, she yelped out of shock and threw her phone away.

"Ah!"

She quickly scanned her room. She was definitely alone, but why did she feel like a pair of eyes were staring at her the entire time?

How freakishly terrifying!

Charles:

The hair on Anna's body all stood on end when she felt a chilling aura around her. She quickly hugged herself tightly and swept the room with her eyes.

Could Charles see her?

Her phone chimed twice again, but she did not dare to touch it.

She once heard that some hackers could hack into others' phone cameras and see them from the other side of the screen.

Was her phone hacked? That would explain why Charles could never be blocked.

Petrified, Anna frantically switched off her phone and tossed it far away. Finally, she could let out a sigh of relief.

"Could that spendthrift be a hacker? He must have hacked into my phone! No wonder he had so much money to give out!"

Anna hugged herself tightly. Still feeling cold, she wrapped a woolen blanket around herself.

When she finally calmed down, she suddenly thought of Charles's words again.

The real reason behind her blind act...

It was definitely to get back at Chloe and delay her wedding with Byan!

There was no way she would marry Bryan!

However, the situation she was in seemed to be worse than before. She could not take over the company and thus, could not gain power and status. Without those, how could she escape from this whirlpool? All that while, she had only been thinking about retreating to advance and to proceed with caution, one step at a time. Unfortunately, her strategy seemed to have rendered her trapped in a swamp, unable to escape.

Anna knocked her skull a few times. "I really am stupid! All this while, I've been wasting time! There's no meaningful progress at all."

However at that moment, what else could she do besides struggle to defend herself?

Suddenly, Anna's wristband rang. She anxiously glanced at the electronic display on the wristband. There was a text floating on the top of the screen.

"Do you think I won't be able to reach you just because you've turned off your phone?"

The sender was Charles!

Anna's eyes shot wide open. The color drained from her face as she inhaled sharply. Her entire body froze.

She hastily pulled off her wristband. Just then, another message came in.

[I dare you to take off the wristband!]

Charles's menacing and overbearing tone made Anna stagger.

"W-w-what do you want? To threaten me? To blackmail me?" Anna yelled hysterically.

Charles replied swiftly. [Of course not. It's just fun.]

Fun?!

Anna widened her eyes so much that they could pop right out of their sockets. She yearned to pull Charles out from the screen and beat him to a pulp. [Be a good girl. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it.]

Even her soul was trembling.

What exactly did he mean?

It was as if the man could see her every action. She felt like a pair of huge invisible hands was trapping her in a cage.

"Who are you?" Anna questioned.

Charles did not reply.

"What the hell do you want?

"Why are you and what is your aim?"

Charles still did not reply.

Fear grew in Anna's heart. Even a tiny wristband could be hacked? On top of that, it was the high-tech wristband Liam gave her!

Anna inhaled sharply again. "You're Liam Ackman, aren't you?"

Charles did not reply.

Anna frantically tried to take off the wristband. Just then, the wristband made a beeping sound of warning. Following that was a message from Charles.

[I've warned you to never take off this wristband! Try it if you dare!]

Anna went mad. "What the hell do you want from me!"

[Rest assured, I won't hurt you. As long as you're obedient.]

Bryan could not reach Anna. He frantically rushed through his work and hastened home.

However, he did not rush to Anna first. Instead, he darted him to question Grandmother Dawson.

"Grandma, why did you agree to delay the wedding?"

Those few days, Bryan had been distraught by this and paid no attention to his work.

Grandmother Dawson composedly shot a glance at him. "Bryan, everything I do is for the benefit of the

Dawson family. What do you think our employees will think of you after seeing you disregard the company and rush home like this? How can I trust you with our family matters in the future?" Grandmother Dawson was guilt-tripping him again!

"Grandma, I..." Bryan lowered his head a little.

He yearned to become the head of the Dawson family soon so he would not have to be restricted in every way.

However, without Anna's Lincoln Group acting as his pillar of support to raise his status in the Dawson family, he would always remain an illegitimate child in their eyes. It would be difficult to even preserve his status as a prominent son of the Dawson family.

"Bryan, there are already a lot of people gossiping about Anna's blindness. If she never regains her vision, you have to understand that she will never take over Lincoln Group."

"But Grandma, she's the only successor to the Lincoln Group!"

"But she has lost her vision. Do you think the senior shareholders of Lincoln Group will agree to hand the company over to a blind successor?"

Bryan lowered his head slowly. "Grandma, I... I'm worried about Anna too."

Grandmother Dawson sighed. She held Bryan's hand.

She said earnestly, "Bryan, Anna is doing this for your benefit too. She's a thoughtful child. I don't want this either, but for the sake of our family, and for the sake of the company, we have to accept it." Bryan kept silent for a few seconds, then pointed out," But Grandma, if I marry Anna now, Daniel will become my father-in-law. Lincoln Group will be under his control, so I still end up being the son-in-law of the head of Lincoln Group..."

"Shut it! How many more years do you think Daniel can live? When he gets old, who will take over Lincoln Group?"

"I'll be Anna's husband by then. The company should still go to Anna, so in a way, it will be ours?" Bryan's mind was full of schemes.

Grandmother Dawson shot a glance at him. "So you plan to take over the entire Lincoln Group."

Bryan was a little embarrassed. "With Anna as my wife, everything she owns should be mine too."

"Do you think Grandfather Lincoln is so indulgent? He had been overseas for so many years, yet he still has Daniel on a tight leash. Daniel helps him manage the company yet does not dare to take over it himself. Do you think Daniel is voluntarily doing him a favor just because he is his father-in-law?"

"Grandma, do you mean..." Bryan's voice gradually grew softer.

"I am worried that if Anna never regains her vision, Grandfather Lincoln will appoint a new successor. If that were to happen, we have to call off your marriage with Anna," explained Grandmother Dawson.
