Anna lay on the bed and closed her eyes.
Chloe stood beside the bed as she stared at her with a fierce gaze.
"Anna, what kind of trick are you trying to play?" Chloe’s heart was worried, but she could not tell what Anna was trying to do.
"Are you using me to seem like a good person? Then you've succeeded! Now, Grandmother Dawson is convinced and she likes you! You’re generous, reasonable, and considerate!" Chloe said.
She continued, "The only wicked person is me! Grandmother Dawson already hates me to the bone!"
Anna’s eyes were closed, she did not speak a word.
"Anna, what's the meaning of this!?" Chloe yelled.
Anna lightly moved her long and curly eyelashes and softly said, "I'm very tired, I would like to rest, don't disturb me! Just leave for now."
Anna turned over and had her back toward Chloe.
She gave Chloe an opportunity but she still has time to yammer here, does this woman not have a brain!
Putting her hopes on this person who is outwardly strong but inwardly weak meant that Anna did not have a high chance of success.
Anna thought to herself, should she add fuel to the fire?
"Chloe, tell Bryan that when we get married I'll choose my own wedding dress, don't let him book anything," said Anna.
Immediately, Chloe's eyes burned with anger, and said, "Anna, you can't see and yet you wish to choose a wedding dress?"
Anna slightly pulled the blanket on her and said, "I'm sleeping, go out."
Chloe glared at Anna fiercely, groaned, and left.
She thought to herself, what was Anna trying to do?
On the way here, she gave her blessings to Chloe and Bryan but now she was worried about choosing a wedding dress!
Could it be that Anna wished to trick her again?
Chloe was worried as she wandered around the halls, o n one hand, she did not have the determination to meet Grandmother Dawson while on the other, she did not wish to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Just as Chloe mustered up the courage to go downstairs and look for Grandmother Dawson, Bryan suddenly appeared and pulled Chloe to the empty kitchen.
"Chloe, why are you here again? Didn’t I make it clear t
o you last time?"
Bryan's tone was terrible and Chloe's heart ached.
“Bryan, didn’t you say you'll marry me once I help you take responsibility for everything..."
"When did I say that!"
Chloe looked at him heartbroken and said, "In the end you lied to me and even booked the wedding date with Anna, getting ready for the marriage..."
"While I became the person that everyone blamed! How can you have the heart to hurt me like that!"
Bryan quickly covered Chloe's mouth with his hand, h e looked outside and said, "Be quiet, would you like to b e heard by Grandma?"
"What's wrong with being heard? Didn't Grandma know about everything already? It'll be great to let her be the judge since you hurt me like that..." Chloe sobbed.
Bryan held Chloe's mouth shut even tighter.
"Chloe, let me tell you, you better start controlling yourself from now onwards! If you dare wreck my marriage with Anna, you'll go down with me!" claimed Bryan.
Chloe saw Bryan's ruthlessness from his eyes, she could not help but felt heartbroken.
This was the man she loved!
This was the man whom she placed all her hopes on!
Never had she thought that once he turned, he could b e so heartless!
At that moment, a servant walked into the kitchen. Bryan was shocked and let go of Chloe immediately, then left hurriedly.
The maid said to Bryan respectfully, "Sir, Madam Dawson ordered for you and Chloe to the study room."
