Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 172

Distressed, Chloe turned to Daniel. Nonetheless, he did not even glance at her, Thus, she had no choice but to turn to Nicole for help.

Nicole shot a glance at Chloe. After that, Chloe hurriedly took a step forward and called out in a pitiable tone.

"Uncle..."

She wanted to demonstrate her innocence and acted a s if she was a victim that deserved pity. However, the second her act started, Liam interrupted coldly.

"Mr. Ackman, I hope you can keep your promise to me from before!"

Daniel smiled awkwardly. "Rest assured, Mr. Ackman.

I will definitely take good care of Anna so she can return to campus soon! After all, she is my daughter. I won't let her suffer."

"Indeed. After all, one should always leave the best things for their family."

Liam’s words clearly indicated that Nicole and Chloe were not part of the Hamilton family, so Daniel should have paid more attention to Anna.

Nicole and Chloe turned pale. However, when faced with the high and mighty Liam Ackman, the two had n o choice but to bury their resentment deep within

their hearts.

"I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving."

Having said that, Liam strode toward the door without turning back. He did not even glance at Chloe, who was putting on a pitiable expression the entire time.

Chloe gritted her teeth hard. "Mom, look at Mr. Ackman! What did he mean by that!"

Nicole was also quite confused. "Chloe is already carrying Bryan's child. They will be married soon. Inevitably, we will become relatives, so logically speaking, shouldn’t Mr. Ackman become more affable toward Chloe?"

She turned to Daniel suspiciously. "Is there some kind of deal between you and Mr. Ackman?"

"What kind of deal would we have! The Lincoln Group has no way of getting into the businesses of the Ackman Group yet! Mr. Ackman simply expressed his wish for Anna to recover soon. That way she can work as an intern in Ackman Group for a few years."

Nicole's eyes twinkled. "Danny, it'll be great if Anna actually gets employed into Ackman Group! With her working there, she won't be taking over Lincoln Group for a few more years. Your position..."

Daniel scoffed. "Mind your own business and that daughter of yours! I’ll let this incident slide, but if you ever cause grievances for Anna again, I won't let you two off so easily!"

Having said that, Daniel stormed upstairs to his study.

Nicole patted Chloe's hand cheerily. "Chloe, your father was just putting on an act. He is the happiest to hear that you have successfully become a part of the Dawson family and are even carrying their child! He does not want Anna's power to grow too quickly either -otherwise, she would soon take over Lincoln Group!"

Just as Nicole was heading upstairs, Chloe grabbed her.

"Mom! Look at the way Mr. Ackman treats me. It is as i f I am his enemy... Do you think..." Chloe lowered her voice and whispered into Nicole’s ears, "He can't be jealous of me because of Bryan, right? Perhaps that's why I'm always the target of his scowls and cold gazes."

Nicole was stunned. "I've also heard rumors that... But i t can’t be true, right? He doesn't look like it at all."

"Honestly, I don't think so either. He looks too far from it," Chloe replied.

Nicole glanced up the stairs. "Mr. Ackman was in Anna’s room for so long. That b*tch better not have been talking bad about us. But why else would his expression be so dark when he came back down!”

A faint glow appeared in Chloe's eyes. "There’s something I have to look into."

"It'll be pretty fun if things turn out to be the way I expect." Chloe's lips curled up into a strange smile.

"Chloe, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing." Chloe thought about it for a while, then continued, "Mommy, it’s inconvenient for me now that I'm pregnant. When you’re free, do keep a keen eye on Anna."

"Of course! Don’t worry, I won’t let her ruin everything you've worked so hard to obtain!"
