Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 126

Chloe trembled in fear. The conceited expression she had instantly vanished from her ashen face.

"D-d-daddy..." Her lips trembled as she struggled to speak.

Daniel hurriedly helped Anna up from the stairs." Anna, are you hurt? Let me take a look."

Anna massaged her reddened wrist and shook her head. "I'm fine, Dad."

"How can you say you're fine when it's all swollen like that!" Daniel glared at Chloe. "Speak! What the hell happened here! What were you two doing on the stairs!”

By the time Daniel noticed the commotion on the stairs, he only saw Chloe and Anna fighting on top of the stairs. It looked as if Chloe was trying to push Anna down the stairs.

Daniel had never expected his obedient and adorable younger daughter to be so wicked!

"D-d-daddy... I..." Even her voice quavered with fear.

"Dad, it's not Chloe's fault. She wanted to help me up, but the floor was too slippery and I lost my balance on my own.” Anna quickly tried to get Chloe pardoned.

Chloe clenched her teeth in rage. However, with Daniel around, she did not dare to utter a word.

"The floor is slippery...” Daniel glanced at the top of the stairs and noticed that there were oil splotches on the floor.

"What is the meaning of this!" Daniel roared.

Chloe's shoulders shuddered. "I-I-I... I don't know."

Daniel glanced sternly at Chloe’s pale face. His expression was as dark as ink. "You don't know? Do you honestly not know?"

Terrified, Chloe shook her head non-stop. Her crystal clear eyes turned misty. "Daddy... I honestly don't know..."

"Is that so? Why were you two pushing and shoving each other on top of the stairs?"

"Daddy, it’s Anna who..." Chloe stopped abruptly. Her face turned even paler.

The corner of Anna’s lips curled up slightly. "Dad, Chloe really did only try to help me. Don't blame it on her."

"Stop talking in her stead!" Daniel fumed angrily.

"Daddy, you’re wrongly accusing me. I didn't do anything..." Chloe waved her hands frantically.

"Do you think I’m blind just because I’m old! You think I didn't see you two fighting on the stairs?"

"No, Daddy, let me explain..." Chloe's voice started to quiver. Tears welled up in her eyes as she gazed at Anna with even more resentment.

Anna locked eyes with Chloe. Her expression was as cold as ice. "Dad, I trust Chloe. I'm sure she isn't responsible for the oil on the floor."

"Lisa meticulously sweeps the floor every day. I have personally instructed all the maids in the house to not wax the floor in fear that Anna might fall. So how can there be oil stains on the floor!" Daniel panted heavily from rage. His gaze toward Chloe was filled with even more hatred.

"Chloe, Anna is your sister. How could you do something like that to her! I'm utterly disappointed in you!"

"Daddy, I didn't! I really didn't do anything! Anna is framing me!"

Smack!

After hearing the loud and crisp sound, Chloe felt a burning pain on her cheek.

She stared at Daniel with disbelief. Her lips trembled." Daddy, you... you hit me?"

"All my life... you've never hit me once..." She could not accept the fact that her father just hit her.

Daniel's gaze toward Chloe was filled with disappointment. "You sister kept trying to get you spared! When exactly did she frame you? Look at the things you've done all this while! Is this family simply too peaceful for you?!” "Daddy..." Chloe's tears rolled down.
