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

Chapter 34 That Witch!

Bryan returned to Grandmother Dawson’s ward.

He was met with Grandmother Dawson's stern gaze the moment he entered.

The nurse and caregiver quickly bowed to her and excused themselves from the room, leaving the room t o Bryan and Grandmother Dawson.

"Grandma..."

Bryan greeted timidly. He hung his head low, like a child who had made a mistake.

"Bryan, you're too reckless!” Grandmother Dawson scolded.

"How could you do something so rash! Do you not have one bit of control over your anger!”

"Grandma, Byan Sanchez was found naked in Anna's room! As her fiance, how could I have kept my composure!

"At that time, I... I could only feel the wrath burning within me! There was no way I could control it!”

"You’re too hot-headed! In a situation like that, lashing out will only make it seem more certain that Anna had done something horrible to you! You’re only making a fool of yourself!" Grandmother Dawson yelled.

"Grandma, I'm a man!" "Apart from that, you are the grandson of the Dawson family! You're supposed to take over the Dawson Group in the future! How can I be at ease with handing the reins to someone as frivolous as you!"

"You squabbled with Ryan in front of so many guests, including our relatives! You even formed armies to search for Anna! If it wasn't for your uncle suppressing the rumors, the whole city would

have known that the Dawson family's future granddaughter -in-law had been tainted by Ryan Sanchez!"

The more she talked, the angrier she got. Her lungs heaved heavily.

Bryan quickly came up to his grandmother to help soothe her anger.

"Grandma, I... I'm sorry... I was wrong...”

"Is your apology truly sincere?"

Bryan nodded, not saying a word.

Grandmother Dawson sighed. "Bryan, how could you forget everything I've been teaching you! The messier the situation, the more you need to remain calm. If you are in a mess, how can you deal with the situation at hand?

"In a family as big as ours, there'll be a lot of people with ideas and schemes. Everyone has their own selfish desires, and when their desires overlap, no one knows who will be plotting what against who."

Grandmother Dawson continued, "Bryan, do you think Ryan's appearance in Anna's room was just a coincidence? Do you think Anna actually went to the church?" 1

Bryan looked up in shock. “Grandma, are you saying..."

In Grandmother Dawson's hazy eyes, a spark of insight appeared. "I may not know what exactly went down that night, but I'm sure that someone was scheming against Anna. But someone else was helping her out."

Bryan gasped in shock.

He never thought that this incident could be so complicated.

He held even more respect toward his grandmother after hearing that.

"Grandma, who do you think they are?" Bryan asked in a low voice.

Grandmother Dawson lifted her head and looked him i n the eye. "Bryan, haven't you ever thought that Anna's stepmother and Chloe both hold some aversion toward her?"

A look of enlightenment appeared in Bryan's eyes. He clenched his fists tightly.

'It was Chloe!’

Finally, he understood why Chloe proactively came to seduce him at the Dawson family mansion. She

stopped him from going to Anna's room because she knew that Ryan was in there!

'That witch!'

"Bryan, you need to know that Nicole Baine didn't come from some prominent family, yet she managed t o bring a stepdaughter into the Hamilton family. Her cunning is not something we should underestimate.”

Grandmother Dawson was born and raised in a wealthy family. She had seen her fair share of intrigue amongst the rich families, making her an expert at seeing through such schemes. With just a glance, she could see everything, clear as day.

Grandmother Dawson took Bryan’s hand and patted him gently. "Bryan, you are my only grandson, so of course I'll hand the family business to you. But you can't let me down, okay?

"You can't let this incident come between you and Anna. You mustn't let this marriage go to waste. The Dawson family is a reputable family, so you need a wife from an equally esteemed family to lay a solid foundation.

"Bryan, you must remember my words. No matter what happens, you must suppress your anger. Keep your eyes on the prize.”

Bryan nodded silently. "Grandma, I won't make the same mistake again.”

His gaze gradually turned cold.

No one could interfere with his marriage with Anna Hamilton! Otherwise...

Do not blame him for being heartless!

Liam sat on a chair, flipping through a stack of documents. His every move was elegant beyond measure.

James Miller reported in a low tone, "Mr. Ackman, here's all the information on Miss Hamilton, down to every last detail.”

James was Liam's personal assistant; a man Liam could trust. James had never seen Liam show so much interest in a woman before. He looked up all the information he could find about her.

Liam silently read through the stack of documents in his hands.

'Anna Hamilton, 22 years old. Height, 165cm; weight, 45kg. Bust, 34cm; waist, 27cm; hips, 36cm. A senior student graduating in two months.' 2

Liam smirked. That woman's bust and waist were clearly 38 and 26 centimeters respectively. The information must have been inaccurate.

'Sole successor to Lincoln Group.

'Her mother passed away when she was five. Her grandfather fell ill due to emotional shock. He is bedridden and had gone overseas for years to treat his illness. Thus, Lincoln Group was handed to his son-in-law, Daniel Hamilton.

'At that time, Daniel Hamilton had signed a contract with Mr. Lincoln which ensured Anna Hamilton would officially take over the company once graduating from university. Daniel would give up his seat unconditionally.

'When Anna was seven, her stepmother, Nicole Baine, brought a stepdaughter, Chloe Hamilton, into the Hamilton family.

'Nicole has always been good to Anna and treats her like her own. However, Anna always acts indifferently toward her-even her personality turned dull and reserved. Anna is a humble woman. Her results in school are excellent. On top of that, she does not use makeup and only wears plain clothes. Thus, she is known as the school nerd.'

Liam gazed at the tiny picture of Anna printed on one of the documents. She was wearing a pair of large, black-rimmed glasses, and her hair rested messily on her two shoulders. His lips could not help but curl upwards.

James was dumbfounded.

'Mr. Ackman is smiling!'

Moreover, his smile was filled with warmth, and his deep eyes filled with tenderness. It was an unprecedented sight for him!

Liam was mesmerized by the picture of Anna. As he gazed at the nerdy, innocent girl in the picture, he could not help but think about the passionate nights they shared and the captivating smell of her

that could turn him on without effort...

Liam felt his body heating up.

'Damn it!’ This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

He could not believe even a picture of her could arouse him!

Was there a curse on the woman’s body that was specially made to work against him?

He put down the documents and took a big sip of water to cool down the blazing heat in his body.

Lost in thought, his lips unknowingly curved up into a n attractive smile again.

That night, she was a little kitten abandoned by her owner. After a tantalizing night in bed, she returned to her cold and arrogant self, like a haughty princess sitting on her high pedestal.

At the party, she was dumb enough to get herself drugged but could keep her composure well enough that the next day that she could still talk her way out o f a giant mess. 1

Liam wondered what kind of story lay behind this woman.

She was born into a wealthy family with fame and status, so why had she hidden her beauty for so long? Why did she choose to live a quiet and modest life

when she was ignored by so many?

He took out a one-dollar bill from his drawer and a note with her handwriting on it.

He mumbled, "How could my woman be my nephew's wife..."
