Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)
Chapter 158 Reduced to a Laughing Stock

Anna and Nina had a lot of fun at Jamie's bar.

Jamie took out a set of tarot cards then Anna and Nina each drew one.

"Little Annie's card says that true love is by your side, you must cherish the people around you and not miss out on your blessed marriage," explained Jamie.

"Tch! Bullsh*t!" Anna threw away the card in her hand.

"Quick, look at mine, look at mine!" urged Nina eagerly.

"Your card says that you still need some time to meet your true love! You won't have much luck in love recently, and even if you do, it'll only be short-lived."

Nina rested her cheeks against her hands. "I hope I can meet a man as handsome as Mr. Ackman!"

Anna side-eyed Nina. "You like guys like him?"

Nina drunkenly nodded her head.

Anna was instantly shocked. "What!? You like Liam!?"

"What are you talking about?" Nina pushed her tarot card to Anna. "I said I like his type, not him! I would never compete with you."

Anna suddenly blushed. "What nonsense are you saying! What... What do you mean compete with me?" "Stop pretending, judging by your reaction just now, it proves that you like Mr. Ackman!" Nina squinted her eyes and knocked Anna with her shoulder. "Quickly tell us the truth."

Jamie slapped the table continuously. "What? Little Annie is secretly in love? Spill the beans! Humph, I knew you two were acting unusual! The feelings are real!"

Jamie flicked his sideburns. "No wonder he didn't call me the last time I gave him my number. I think both of you are secretly in love!"

"Even if they aren't secretly in love, Mr. Ackman wouldn't like your type!" said Nina bluntly.

"Shut up! What's wrong with my type? It's unique!" Jamie pointed his finger at Anna. "Come on, tell us the truth!"

Anna covered her blushing face and said, "Stop talking nonsense! There's no such thing! Are we still playing or not!"

Jamie shuffled the cards with a mysterious face." Next I'll predict whether or not he's your true love!"

Anna was a little curious and drew a card.

As Jamie was about to explain the card, Nina held her phone and screamed.

"What!?"

"That b*tch Chloe is pregnant!"

Nina quickly showed the latest news on her phone to

Anna and Jamie.

"Three minutes ago, a reporter took a photo of Chloe entering a gynecology examination room! Look at this photo, it's indeed Chloe!"

"My God! This b*tch is really unstoppable once she makes her move!" Jamie clutched his chest, unable to keep calm. "Little Annie, how can you put up with this kind of stuff?"

Anna calmly looked at the news with a half-smile. " Isn't this great? There's a child and it's on the news. Bryan can't deny it this time."

"Even if Bryan denies it, Chloe definitely wouldn't let this matter rest."

"You still have the mood to laugh? Your fiance, the man you're going to marry had a child with your sister!"

Jamie and Nina stared at Anna in surprise.

"Is there something I should be sad about?" Anna shrugged indifferently.

Nina and Jamie exchanged looks. Although it was true that Anna should not be sad over that scumbag anymore, Nina and Jamie knew that Anna was deeply in love with Bryan over the past year. Even if the feeling was gone, she would not be able to heal so quickly, right?

"Little Annie, don't keep it in. If you're sad... You can lie on my shoulder and cry," said Jamie as he tapped on his shoulder.

Nina hugged Anna and said, "Don't worry, the wicked will be punished eventually, they won't get away so easily!"

Anna pushed them aside and laughed. "I'm truly fine!"

She looked down at the black wristband on her wrist. If not for his existence, perhaps she would have laid against Jamie's shoulder and hugged Nina as she cried loudly.

Thankfully the heavens were kind. That person's appearance helped her avoid a lot of pain.

It was just that she did not know...

What was Liam busy with recently?

Why did he not contact her again?

Could it be that he was still angry with Anna about what happened at the river?

However, Charles remained active lately on her phone, occasionally he would tell Anna some random stuff that confused her.

For example, at that moment, her wristband lit up with Charles' message.

"Congratulations, you're on the headlines again."

Anna rolled her eyes. "Crazy."

Chloe was pregnant during that time, and based on her previous rumor with Bryan, everyone knew that this child must belong to Bryan!

Things took such a huge turn for the worse right after the Dawsons and the Hamiltons announced Anna and Bryan's wedding date. Naturally, Anna was on the headlines again as everyone discussed how she was feeling at that moment.

The reporters were searching like crazy for those three who were involved.

Anna looked at Nina and said softly, "I feel that I should show myself to the reporters now."

"What?"

Jamie and Nina were surprised.

They did not understand Anna's intentions, but as long as she wanted to do it, they would give her their unconditional support.

"Nina, let's go to school."

Jamie personally drove Anna to the school.

"My dear, I won't get down the car so that the others won't gossip about our relationship! Nina, take good care of Anna. You'll answer to me if you dare let Anna hurt herself."

Nina rolled her eyes. "You're one to talk. Are you worried that people will gossip that you and Anna are having an affair? Take a good look in the mirror and check your own behavior!"

Jamie quickly looked at the mirror and examined his seductive face. "What's wrong with my behavior? I'm seductive as ever, alright? Hey, how did you guys leave the car? Take care! Call me if there's anything."

"Got it, b*tch!"

Nina supported Anna as they stood in front of the University of Johannes' magnificent front gate. They felt a bit uneasy.

"Anna, are you sure you want to go in? Going to school now, the students..."

"I know, I'll be reduced to a laughing stock."

The sunlight fell onto Anna's eyes which were like spring water, clear and brimming with light, but at the same time, it contained a certain coolness.

Even before Anna stepped through the gates, news of her arrival had already been passed around in the student's group chat instantly.

Everyone scrambled to the gate to take a look at one of the main characters of the most popular events at the time. They wanted to see what her expression was like in front of the public.

Jennifer took the lead and was the first to appear in front of Anna.

She thought she would see Anna's haggard face and sate her hatred. But never did she think that Anna would instead be smiling and had an expression like nothing happened while she talked to Nina beside her with laughter.

"Ms. Hamilton's tolerance is so high, she could even carry a cruise ship in her belly. Everyone, come take a picture! She's one in a million!"

Everyone knew what Jennifer was talking about, and a wave of mocking laughter rang out from all around.
