Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 299

Anna returned home.

Chloe and Nicole were being careful.

Anna did not say anything. She wanted to see what the two of them would do next.

Chloe's eyes were filled with hatred when she looked a t Anna. She wanted to kill her so badly.

Anna intentionally raised her eyes to meet Chloe's. She was fearless and even nonchalantly smiled at Chloe.

"Chloe, you seem to be in a bad mood for losing the bracelet.” Anna was being sarcastic and she knew it.

Both Anna and Chloe were clear about what happened to the bracelet.

Chloe did not bother to pretend in front of Anna. She caressed her stomach and said sweetly, "The baby in my belly is my trump card."

Chloe was referring to the incident where grandma did not ask to investigate deeper after knowing who lost the bracelet.

It did not matter who grandma liked more. In the end, Anna still had to take the blame.

Anna laughed, "There is only a limited amount of luck for everyone. Save some luck for your future. If not,

you won't be so lucky next time."

Chloe was pissed but her mother held her back.

"Chloe, there are many ways to protect your position. But if you want to step on someone else to reach your goal, make sure you have the capability! People who only know how to play dirty tricks will not go far in life."

Anna went up the stairs. She smiled like a blossoming flower when she walked past Chloe.

"I will be your bridesmaid and support you securely when you walk down the aisle."

Anna was observing Nicole’s reaction. Nicole did not try to protect Chloe, unlike her usual self.

It seemed like Nicole knew about the missing bracelet too.

"Alright, it's getting late now. Let’s all get some rest." Nicole was holding and reassuring Chloe.

Since Nicole stopped her from saying anything, Chloe contained her anger and went back into the room with her mother.

"Stop making a fuss about the bracelet. Things will get worse if your dad found out," said Nicole.

"I'm just pissed with Anna!" Chloe said angrily.

"Chloe, grandma already knew you hid the bracelet. Are we still selling it?" Nicole was restless.

Chloe caressed her stomach and said "Mum, it's fine.

Grandma won't say anything as long as I still have this baby."

"Let's get the money and settle things with Bruce first!"

"But this is still the Dawson's heirloom... Although it's worth a lot of money, I don't feel confident about the plan." Nicole was unsure.

"Mum! I put on a show so we could make grandma believe that she lost the bracelet and we could sell it for money."

"Let me think, let me think." Nicole walked in circles anxiously.

"Mum, there isn't much time left from the deadline he set..."

Anna was lying on her bed but she couldn't sleep.

Recently, Liam did not contact her even once.

He promised to give her time off, and he kept the promise!

She wasn't used to this...

She found his number and hesitated on whether to dial it. Unintentionally, she pressed the dial button but she quickly ended the call.

She put a palm to her chest and took several deep breaths to calm herself down.

Then, Liam's call came in.

Anna was so shocked she nearly threw the phone. She took several deep breaths and slowly pressed the answer button.

She pretended that she was only woken up by the sound of the phone ringing and asked lazily, "Hello, who's calling?"

From the other side came Liam’s unique sexy voice.

"You were the one who called me just now."

Anna was panicked, but she maintained her lazy and relaxed tone, "What? Did I?"

"When? Why didn't I know about this?"

To make sure her acting was believable, she even faked a few yawns.

"Oh?" Liam raised his voice, "Perhaps you called me in your dreams?"

"Maybe!" Anna regretted it the moment she said that.

Her face blushed and her heartbeat was getting faster.
