Chloe rushed toward Anna and shoved her furiously...

"Ah!"

Everyone shrieked.

Bryan widened his eyes and stared unblinkingly at Chloe and Anna.

Initially, he had the chance to stop Chloe, but at the same time, he also yearned to know if Anna's eyes were truly blind or if she was just pretending that whole time.

When he was in Anna's room, he felt that her eyes were no different from that of an ordinary person. He felt that she could see everything but refused to admit it. However, he had no evidence to prove it. With Chloe pushing Anna, the truth behind her vision would finally be revealed!

Anna stared dumbstruck at Chloe who was pouncing toward her. At that moment, she did not know what to do.

She could only choose between letting Chloe shove her and getting injured from the fall or dodging Chloe's attack but ending up revealing the truth behind her blindness.

Anna made her decision within that short second. She had chosen to close her eyes and subtle clench her fists, preparing for Chloe to pounce onto her and bracing herself for the pain of the fall... However, at this time of imminent peril, Liam darted toward Anna and held the woman on the platform in his arms. He pushed Chloe away with his other hand.

"Ah!"

Following the scream, Chloe fell backward...

Anna felt the world spinning around her. Before she knew it, she had already fallen into a broad and firm embrace.

Her eyes shot open only to be met with the tense expression on Liam's handsome face. Anna's heart could not help but skip a beat.

He...

He saved her!

When Bryan saw Chloe falling, the color instantly drained from his face. He rushed forward to catch her.

There was no way he would let anything happen to the child in Chloe's womb! Otherwise, he would be left with nothing!

Liam hugged Anna tightly in his arms. He glared at Chloe furiously. His voice was as cold as the devil's.

"Ms. Chloe, are you trying to commit assault?"

Chloe leaned against Bryan's embrace, staring terrified at Liam. Her face was as pale as paper.

"I just..." She simply wanted to check if Anna's eyes were truly blind.

She had harbored this suspicion in her heart for a long time. Nonetheless, no matter how many times she probed Anna, she still could not get conclusive evidence. However, if Liam was to accuse her of aggravated assault, the incident would turn into a huge deal that involved breaking the law and going to court!

"Uncle... It wasn't..." Chloe shook her head frantically and tried to explain, yet for a moment, she could not think of any appropriate explanations.

Bryan hurriedly explained, "Uncle! Chloe's dress is too long. She accidentally fell just now! It wasn't intentional! She has a baby right now. Why would she try to harm others?"

Bryan deliberately brought the child into the conversation. He had hoped that Liam would value the child in Chloe's womb for the sake of Grandmother Dawson and forgive Chloe because of that. Liam's ink-black pupils slowly constricted. The expression on his face was menacingly frigid.

"How dare you do something like this in front of me, M s. Chloe!"

Terrified, Anna's heart shuddered. Tears welled up in her eyes as she shook her head frantically. "Uncle... I didn't... It really wasn't intentional!"

She did not think that Liam would step in and save Anna from danger. On top of that, his speed was incredible.

Chloe's heart thumped violently with fear. She clutched her trembling hands tightly onto Bryan, hoping that he could protect her.

Otherwise, Liam's gaze could kill her right then and there.

Anna leaned against Liam's embrace and gently held his large hands. She shook her head lightly.

Liam's brows furrowed together lightly. He took a glance at her with his chilling eyes.

"Forget it," Anna muttered.

Liam's brows knitted together again, yet he did not say a word after that.

Seeing this scene made the spectators' disdain toward Chloe grow even deeper.

Not only had she stolen her sister's fiance, she even dared to bully her sister in front of so many people! Who knew what kind of heinous crimes she must have committed against Ms. Anna in private! Everyone started whispering among themselves.

"B*tches like her need to be taught a lesson!"

"I hope Ms. Anna's eyes can heal soo! Otherwise, she would surely be bullied to her death!"

"Poor girl! Luckily, Mr. Ackman was there to protect her!"

"Don't you think they make quite a good couple? I hope they can be together. They're like a match made in heaven! They make an even better couple than those you see on movie posters!"

The employees all clasped their hands together and gazed at Anna and Liam with expressions filled with blessings and admiration. It made Anna blush.

"Apologize!" Liam commanded coldly.

Chloe inhaled sharply and glared at Anna, who was still in Liam's arms. She clenched her teeth hard with resentment.

There was no way she would apologize to Anna in front of everyone!

Liam's eyes grew even darker. "I won't say it a second time."

Chloe's whole body trembled. She felt a chill down her spine. She opened her mouth but no words could come out.

She hated Anna to the bone. Apologizing was not something she could bring herself to do in front of so many strangers. "Chloe, hurry up and apologize to Anna!" Bryan scolded.

"Bryan..." Chloe was growing even more irritated.

Why was everyone so against her? Anna was only faking her frailty and deceiving everyone. Why was it that a woman like her could be deemed to be the most innocent?

Anna was secretly delighted. She gently pushed away from Liam's embrace and stood with her back straight. The snow-white wedding dress on her body was like a blooming lily. It remained spotless and captivatingly beautiful.

Anna gently lifted her chin. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips. "Since Chloe didn't do it on purpose, she shouldn't have to apologize." Anna's magnanimous attitude helped her gain even more of the spectators' support and admiration. Meanwhile, Chloe received nothing but contempt. "She almost injured her yet still refuses to apologize!"

"I cannot begin to imagine how evil a person must be to be so unrepentant!"

"She already stole her sister's fiance and had a child with him. There's nothing in the world that she won't d o!"

"There's a rumor online saying that Ms. Anna's vision loss was caused by her evil sister. I bet there's a high chance of it being true!"

Their gossiping made Chloe's face turn green with anger.

"Anna! I'm sorry! I was wrong!" Chloe finally managed to squeeze out some words of apology. Even so, her body was trembling with fury.

Anna smiled faintly. "I know you didn't do it on purpose! I forgive you."

Chloe was about to lose her mind from rage, yet all she could do was endure it.

Bryan was already all red from humiliation. He glanced at Chloe. The disdainful look in his eyes could not be concealed.

That disgraceful woman dragged him into a pit of shame with her!

The owner of the boutique saw that the atmosphere was still tense and awkward. He hurriedly laughed and said, "Mr. Ackman, your 127 dresses are ready. Should I send them over to Ms. Anna's home right away?"

Liam took a paper and pen from him and wrote down Anna's address. Having done that, his expression froze for a second. He spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"I want to buy this bridal boutique."

The owner staggered. "What?"

Then, he grinned from ear to ear. "Mr. Ackman wants to buy over my store? That's great news! Does the Ackman Group intend to dabble in the wedding gown business?"

Liam glanced at Anna. "It's a gift for my student, Hamilton, to play around with."

Liam's words sent the room into pin-drop silence.

That bridal boutique was the best in Johanness City. Nonetheless, when compared to the Ackman Group and its gigantic businesses and family, the store was nothing but a tiny piece. Even so, he was buying over a boutique for someone to play around with?

Was that not a little extreme!
