Anna understood the situation that she was in right now. She was powerless. Each step she took felt like walking on thin ice. If she wanted to take control of the Lincoln Group, her only choice was to rely on borrowed power.
Liam's fingers tightened momentarily, eliciting a sense of pain.
Anna struggled forcefully but was unable to escape from his grip.
"What's wrong? So he can touch you but I can't?”
When he recalled how she had taken the initiative to let Bryan touch her, was it really necessary for her to struggle this much when he was just holding her chin?
"Liam Ackman. What’s your plan? Why does it concern you who I allow to touch me? Who are you to me? What right do you have to control me?
"Woman, don’t you know what’s good for you!? Your eyes aren't working right but is your heart blind as well!?" Liam's expression was grim and cold.
Numerous women had wanted to start a relationship with him but he did not spare them a single glance. This little woman that he had bedded multiple times was now trying to dissociate herself from him!
Anna was a little worked up. She pushed him and shouted, "Let go of me! You don’t have to worry about my life!"
"I’m returning your stuff to you!"
Anna forcefully took off the black wristband on her wrist and threw it.
When Liam looked at the wristband that had fallen to the ground, his flames of anger in his chest erupted. His malicious eyes were fixed upon Anna as his breathing became ragged.
"Oh..."
With one sweep of his arm, Liam tore off the gauze covering Anna's eyes, "In that case, what do you need your eyes for!?"
Liam was so enraged that he was at his limit. He resisted the urge to tear Anna apart and slammed the door as he left.
Anna held her eyes in her hands in shock as she curled up at the head of her bed. She bit her lip tightly and tried her best to stop herself from crying.
However, there was no way that she could suppress the stinging pain of her eyes, nor the bitter pang in her heart.
Anna took deep breaths causing her chest to rise and fall drastically. Sunlight streamed through the gap in the curtains to land upon her closed eyes. It felt warm. Anna slowly calmed down.
She felt waves moving before her eyes and attempted t o open them. There was a tiny, stabbing pain but the stream of gentle light made her unbelievably happy.
Her beautiful eyes opened slowly and her world began to brighten.
The warm sunshine. The gentle breeze wafting in through the windows. The white curtains dancing in the breeze. The enchanting red roses sitting quietly in the vase. The freshly-washed grapes with water droplets scattered all over them, transparent and crystal-like...
"My eyes are better! I can see!"
Anna happily touched the corners of her eyes and reached out her delicate, fair hands into the space before her. It was like the first time that she had ever seen such soft sunlight, such a clear blue sky or such cotton-candy like clouds...
She smiled. She smiled and smiled until tears began streaming out of her eyes...
She closed her eyes again and lay down on the bed. She suddenly felt exhausted.
She was not deliberately trying to offend Liam. However, if she was unable to learn how to put on a false front and act courteously regardless of how she felt, how could she protect herself in this whirlpool?
Chloe wanted to possess Bryan and her appetite was s o large that she even wanted to take control of the
Lincoln Group. Chloe had Daniel behind her who could help her influence the company shareholders. If Chloe managed to get Bryan on her side, Anna would truly be surrounded by enemies.
Even though she knew that Liam really cared for her, would Liam make enemies out of the entire Dawson family and his aunt for her sake?
The answer was a definite no!
She was merely a woman. Perhaps Liam was caught u p in the excitement of his new interest. However, this feeling of lust would only last a moment, just like that exciting relationship between Bryan and Chloe.
Once the lust had faded, she would merely be an insignificant speck of dust among the crowd of people. Hence, she still needed to rely on herself to face all the challenges ahead of her.
Since this was her decision, she needed Liam to give u p on her and make him aware that she was Bryan’s fiancee. There was no possibility that she and he would work out...
As for now, if she could capture Bryan, shattering the relationship between Bryan and Chloe...
Only then would she be able to steady herself in this quagmire that she was in. This was the only way that she would not sink into the deep end and die.
