The next morning.
When Anna went out on an errand, she ran straight to Ackman Group headquarters and called Liam.
"I'm at the coffee shop near your office downstairs. I'll buy you lunch and talk to you about some things by the way."
Listening to the voice coming from the phone, Liam raised his eyebrows and spoke coldly and indifferently.
"I have no time."
"Let's talk about the kid." Anna's face was cold, and she directly explained the reason for her visit.
"Heh, what an impolite tone! Is that the attitude to discuss issues?"
Liam's tone sharpened a little, "Or are you now respecting Gemma's real father and deciding to discuss issues with me?"
"This matter is very important. Come down and talk to me face to face." Anna said seriously.
The man on the phone narrowed his eyes. His cold tone seemed to chill Anna's heart through the phone screen, "Anna, are you going to consider my, Gemma's real father's feeling in many aspects?" "Does it matter that much?" Anna looked up at the towering Ackman Group headquarters angrily.
Liam chuckled and said indifferently, "If you respect m e as Gemma's real father and discuss everything with me, I will come down to have lunch with you."
Anna took a deep breath, and her tone became heavier.
"I promise. Come down now."
After less than ten minutes, the two people were sitting face to face.
Anna got straight to the point, "Are you related to the reporters who interviewed me after the drama yesterday and the paparazzi who took pictures of me and Gemma?"
Liam's eyes hardened, and he could not help but sneer.
"You come to me just for this?"
"Did you do it so that everyone would know the truth?" Anna was aggressive.
Liam asked rhetorically in a careless tone, "Anna, is this how you respect me?"
"If I didn't respect you, why would I have come over to talk to you?"
"If I wanted to disclose the truth about my relationship with Gemma, why wouldn't I hold a press conference?" Liam's heart ached a little because of her suspicious look.
A hint of displeasure flashed across the bottom of his deep eyes, interspersed with more coldness.
Such an unpleasant and cold reaction made Anna finally believe Liam.
What Liam said was not unreasonable.
In Johannes City, Liam could do whatever he wanted. With his ability, if he wanted to do something, he could just do it. There was no need for him to use this kind of sneaky means.
Anna was a bit speechless.
Liam silently took a bite of the dessert and chewed it gracefully.
Anna sighed softly, completely lacking the appetite to eat.
"Gemma is still very young right now. I don't want her t o be in the public eye. Could you please stop it to protect her?"
"Even if you don't say it, I will still protect Gemma. Anyway, Gemma is my daughter."
Liam elegantly put down his fork.
"Of course, I can also help you handle those paparazzi who are following you. But I have one condition."
Anna's eyes darkened a little as she said with a calm expression, "Say."
Liam looked at the elegant woman in front of him and spat out a few words in a cold voice, "In front of the media, you cannot admit that Gemma is Ethan's child."
"Everyone knows that Gemma is Ethan's daughter!" Anna got angry, "You ask me to deny it, so what difference is there between that and admitting outright that Gemma is your child! You're trying to tell the truth and make Gemma's identity embarrassing."
Liam sneered, "How can I bear to have everyone think that my daughter is Ethan's daughter?"
"You've been absent for three years, and now you suddenly want your daughter back. Do you think it's appropriate?"
