Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)
Chapter 181A Handsome Reward

Anna could feel the air surrounding them turning colder and colder.

"Anna, do you know what are the consequences of offending me?" Liam stared into Anna's eyes. His deep eyes grew more and more distant.

Anna felt her chest tighten. She slowly lowered her head.

"Of course, I wouldn't dare to offend you! You know too many of my secrets. If you ever want to exact revenge on me, I'll be sent into the pits of hell, never to come back again."

Liam's expression turned even grimmer. What was that little lady saying? What did she see him as?

Did she think he was some bastard who would want revenge over every petty thing?

"You are even more vigilant than me!" Liam scoffed coldly.

Anna kept silent for a while, then called for a waiter to bring them a bottle of red wine.

She poured a glass of wine and downed the entire glass.

Liam frowned. What was that woman doing?

She poured another glass. Liam thought that it was for him. Unexpectedly, she downed the entire glass again.

After gulping down a few glasses of wine, Anna's face slowly turned red. She swayed around as she went to Liam's side.

She raised her hand and placed it on his broad and muscular shoulders. The strange feeling of warmth she felt on her palm surged toward the deep end of her heart.

That man...

Every time she touched him, she felt as if her heart was melting. She yearned to dive into his embrace and hold him tightly, never to let him leave.

Alas... she had no place at all in his heart.

Anna opened her mouth. She had a million things she wanted to say, yet at that moment, she could not utter a word.

"Have a drink with me," she said.

Liam narrowed his eyes and shot her a glance. He picked up his glass and drank the wine. Having done that, he stood up. The ink-black shadow cast by his tall figure encapsulated the entirety of Anna's dainty body.

She looked up, gazing at the man that was almost 190 centimeters call.

His tall and bulky figure was dressed in a well-tailored suit. The way he kept both hands in his pockets made him seem somewhat unruly.

He had an expensive watch on his wrist and the buttons on his shirt were all neatly done, giving off an aura of extraordinary nobility and grace.

Shifting her gaze upward, she saw his handsome face with chiseled edges and prominent features.' Unrivalled beauty' could not even begin to describe the man's otherworldly allure. "This feeling... It's so pleasant..."

Her lips slowly curled up into a smile while her eyes turned hazy. She lifted her hand, wanting to feel his face, yet lowered it again in the end.

Liam took a step closer to her. Her intoxicated little face was reflected in his gloomy eyes. "Anna Hamilton, it is so hard to decipher you."

He had aided her from the shadows in so many ways. Did she think she could be this carefree without his help behind the scenes?

Not only was she ungrateful, she even coldly pushed him away.

"Is it? Hehe..." She chuckled and hid from his frightening gaze.

"I'll give you one chance-never a second," he said vaguely.

She did not quite understand what this 'chance' was referring to, but she knew it had something to do with that.

"Am I that attractive to you?" She looked up at him again with eyes filled with puzzlement. She wished that he could give her a genuine answer.

"What do you think?"

Again with the ambiguous answers!

"Hehe... it seems like... perhaps... it's not like that..." She brushed her hair and turned away to leave while she was still swaying on her feet. However, Liam grabbed her and pulled her back. His overbearing kiss landed on her forcefully.

She struggled and pushed against him, yet her body was powerless while in a drunken state. The moment she felt his breath and his taste, she fell into a complete trance.

She clung to his neck and pressed her body firmly against his broad embrace. She responded to his kiss passionately. It was as if the passion buried deep within her heart was pouring out all at once... Liam was staggered. The flames within him were ignited abruptly. His warm hands slithered onto her slender waist, gliding around her curvy and petite body.

She had lost all ability to think. She was no longer worried about whether she had a future with him or not; she simply wanted to submit herself to him from the bottom of her heart-just this once. This once and never again!

Liam turned around and pressed her onto the pure white table.

"You ate my steak. Are you waiting for me to devour you now?" Her burning red face was reflected in his deep dark eyes.

Her scalding little hands tugged hard at his shirt, unbuttoning it.

Liam was taken aback by her sudden initiative. He grabbed her warm little hands and wrapped them tightly in his large hands.

"What is the meaning of this?" He said in a dull and hoarse voice. He was holding down the flames within him with the last bit of reasoning he had.

"Don't you want me? Isn't this what you want?"

She pulled her scalding little hands away from his and placed them on his skin, slowly igniting flames across his firm chest. 1

He grabbed her hands again and pressed them onto the table. His ink-black pupils constricted bit by bit.

"Don't think you're the only woman I want!" His voice abruptly turned cold and carried hints of anger within.

Anna's whole body trembled. The haze in her eyes dissipated a little.

"Anna Hamilton, aren't you too full of yourself!" Liam chided.

He suddenly let go of her, buttoned up his shirt, and strode away without looking back.

Anna was left dumbstruck.

After being staggering for a long while, she clambered up slowly and hugged her cold empty self. Slowly, she squatted down to the floor.

She had no idea what had she done to annoy him.

She was left alone in the huge and empty restaurant. A sense of abandonment abruptly emerged in her chest, filling her heart with nothing but coldness.

After a long while, she stood up sluggishly and plodded out of the restaurant.

It seemed like Liam had really left. Not even his shadow could be seen on the empty streets. The only thing that remained was the dim streetlights that stood quietly in the night. She had truly been abandoned!

A tearing pain spread from her chest-it was as if she had been stabbed with a knife.

Turned out, being apart from him was such an agonizing experience!

Anna looked up. Her hair fluttered as a breeze blew by. Her drunken mind was gradually becoming clear.

She gazed at the star-filled night sky, ridiculing herself, "Anna, oh Anna. In reality, you are not brave at all, nor are you strong."

In the Dawson family mansion.

All the important and influential members of the Dawson family were present at the family dinner organized by Grandmother Dawson. They were all there to get to know Chloe, the future young lady of the Dawson household. It was also an opportunity to lay a solid foundation for Chloe's marriage into the family.

Of course, Liam was a crucial figure that had to be present. However, he had not shown up even after a long time.

Grandmother Dawson had called him twice-not only did he not pick up his phone, he even turned it off.

Everyone was whispering among themselves, saying how Liam was humiliating Grandmother Dawson!

Chloe was exceedingly delighted to be the main character of the dinner that night. Nonetheless, Liam's absence made her uncomfortable.

She thought that James picked Anna up from their home because Liam wanted to bring her to the family dinner at the Dawson family mansion. However, seeing that the two still had not shown up, Chloe wondered if they were secretly going out on a date.

A wicked look flashed across her eyes. She subtly sent a text to a reporter she had bribed beforehand. [Look for Anna Hamilton right now. Bring me firsthand photos of her and you will be rewarded handsomely.]
