Anna believed that she would be squeezed dry by Liam if this went on.

She did not have the strength to escape this house, so she decided to rely on her wits.

Just as Liam was about to push himself against her again, she rolled her eyes back and fainted.

"Anna, Anna!"

Liam called out her name twice but he could not wake her up.

Liam frowned as he looked at Anna's pale face. He thought that he must have worn her out this past day and night.

"I've told you to let me take care of you."

Liam sighed and carried Anna and gently placed her down on the bed. He made a phone call to the family doctor to have him come give Anna a body check-up. Anna became nervous. If the doctor checks her body, then would he not see the bruises all over her? Her innocence would be gone when that happens!

Her relationship with Liam could not be hidden anymore!

As Liam got up to open the door for the doctor to enter, Anna quickly got off the bed and hid in the study

room.

Liam saw that Anna was not in the bedroom anymore and hurriedly looked for her all over the house.

It was hopeless, his house was too big. There was no way to easily replace someone who was intentionally hiding.

When Liam entered the study room, Anna successfully escaped to the living room. She grabbed her bag from the sofa, put on her clothes, and quickly headed toward the door to escape.

Liam heard the sound of a door closing and knew that Anna had escaped.

"This damn woman!" Liam's expression immediately darkened which scared the doctor so much that he quickly lowered his head.

The doctor did not think that Mr. Ackman, who was never close to women, actually brought a woman home! He was Liam's dedicated family doctor, this was the first time he had seen Liam bring a woman back home after serving by his side for so long.

The doctor could not help but stifle his laughter. It would seem that Mr. Ackman was healthy after all! The doctor could finally lay down his worry.

"What are you laughing at!" growled Liam.

The doctor trembled in fear and quickly shook his head. "Mr. Ackman, are you feeling well? Do you need me to give you a check-up?"

"Get lost!"

The family doctor quickly carried his first aid kit and escaped in a hurry!

The doctor wiped his head full of sweat after he left the house and whispered with a smile, "I have no idea which beauty is capable of tempting Mr. Ackman and successfully turning him straight!" Chloe was already at home when Anna arrived in a cab.

She sat on the living room sofa and waited for Anna with an arrogant look on her face.

Anna ignored her and went straight up the stairs, but Chloe's cutesy voice came from behind her.

"Anna, you're back!"

Anna did not turn around and she continued up the stairs.

She was in a bad mood at the moment. Her entire body was sore because of that damned man, all she wanted was to soak in a warm bath and have a nice sleep.

"Anna, what's the meaning of this?" Chloe went after Anna.

"What do you want!?" said Anna impatiently.

Chloe grunted and said, "Don't be so cold, Anna! We're all family. Daddy always said we have to live in harmony."

"I'm sorry, there's no way I can be harmonious with you!" said Anna coldly.

Chloe held back the anger in her heart and said," Anna, are you going back to your room? I'll follow you."

Anna glanced at Chloe with an emotionless expression. "What are you going to my room for?"

"To get the bracelet! You can't have forgotten about it so quickly?"

Anna burst into laughter and said, "So you're here for the bracelet! How could I forget! You must have planned this for so long to secure your position in the Dawson family." "This bracelet belongs to me now no matter what!"

Anna could not be bothered to argue with this lowly person. She went back to her room and retrieved the jewelry box from the drawer. She then took out the bluish-green emerald bracelet from inside and gave it to Chloe.

Chloe quickly put on the bracelet and admired it on her fair wrist. The bracelet's bluish-green color was so vibrant that it looked like it could drip water. A bright light shined from Chloe's eyes.

From that day onward, she possessed the Dawson family heirloom! No one would dare think that she was illegitimate!

"Alright, that's enough! Please close the door when you're out!" said Anna without even glancing at Chloe.

Chloe crossed her arms and raised her chin. "Anna, where have you been for the past day and night? Why didn't I see you anywhere? I even thought that you didn't want to hand the bracelet over and purposely went missing!"

Chloe's annoying voice irritated Anna's ears.

"I don't think where I went is any of your business, right? You're just the Dawson family's future young lady, you're not the head of the Hamilton family!"

Chloe was shocked and she said, "I've already become the Dawson family's young lady. Do you think I'm far from becoming the head of the Hamiltons?" "Then we'll have to see if you have such capabilities!"

Anna glared at Chloe sharply but she fearlessly smiled and caressed her belly.

"With this trump card in hand, there's nothing that can stop me! I dare not say that I can get anything I want, but it's close to that."

Anna's gaze slowly shifted toward Chloe's stomach as she sighed. "Don't cross the line! Think of it as doing some good for your child!"

Chloe unconsciously clenched her jaw as she heard Anna's words.

Bryan kept saying the same thing to Chloe, telling her to not cross the line!

Anna and Bryan had already broken up, but the way they spoke was still the same!

Chloe angrily slammed the door and left.

Lisa brought some fruits to the room and said to Anna softly, "Ms. Anna, why do you keep letting Ms. Chloe bully you? Grandmother Dawson had already given you the bracelet, and she didn't plan to ask for it back after breaking off the engagement. This means that she intended for you to keep it as compensation."

"Chloe is using her child as leverage. She said that the emerald can help with the child's development and Grandmother Dawson believed her. The child is Grandmother Dawson's number one priority, and besides..." Anna lowered her head and continued, "I don't want to argue with her, the child is innocent after all."

"But she's relying on her pregnancy to do anything she wants! She'll bully you if you keep letting her get away with it!" said Lisa worriedly.

"I've given her the bracelet she wanted, and she's marrying into the Dawson family soon! Meanwhile, I'm preparing to return to school for my internship, we won't have many opportunities to meet! I think if I keep giving in and be careful, she won't do anything toward me."

"You're going to let the incident where she hurt your eyes go?" Lisa was unwilling to give in.

Anna's expression was filled with unstoppable hatred. "How could I let it go! But until the child is born, I don't intend on starting any unnecessary conflict with her!"

Lisa sighed and said, "Ms. Anna, you're too generous! That child, she had it when she had an affair with..."

Lisa stopped halfway and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Ms. Anna. I've misspoken!"

Anna walked to the front of Lisa with a smile and held her hand. "It's fine! I don't care about that anymore! They don't have a place in my heart anymore, that's why I don't mind."

Lisa looked at Anna with a smile. "Is it that you're in love with someone worthy of spending the rest of your life with? It's Mr. Ackman, isn't it?"

Anna's face suddenly blushed. "No, definitely not!"

"Judging by your reaction, I'm sure it is!" Lisa laughed.

They did not realize that Chloe was eavesdropping from the other side of the door.

"Alright, Anna. You do have something going on with Mr. Ackman!"
