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

Chapter 127 Beat Her at Her Own Game

When Anna returned to her room, Lisa quickly brought her some ice to apply a cold compress on her red and swollen wrist.

"Ms. Anna, it’s not worth it if you get yourself hurt," Lisa murmured sorrowfully.

Anna did not reply. She endured the pain on her wrist and let her mind wander off.

Although her plan was a success, she had to suffer through almost just as much as the enemy.

She grabbed her phone and glanced at the voice recording from just now. Her lips curled up a little into a cold smile.

"It's all my fault for not keeping my eye on them. Madam instructed me to water the plants in the garden. If I was in the house, I never would have given Ms. Chloe the chance to spread oil on the floor."

"Lisa, that incident wasn't your fault."

Lisa gazed at Anna worriedly. "Ms. Anna, please be cautious at all times. You can't let your guard down."

Anna nodded. "I noticed something odd on the floor just now. I purposely fell the first time, but who would’ve thought Chloe would push me again."

"Ms. Anna, you know Ms. Chloe's line of thought well. She witnessed your defeat with her own eyes, yet Sir became more protective of you instead. How could she not hate you more?"

"I have underestimated her viciousness." Anna closed her eyes and sighed. "At the end of the day, I still don't want to think so badly of humanity."

"If Ms. Chloe has the heart to rob you of your vision, what won't she do? Ms. Anna, there’s no knowing what's in a person's heart. You must always be vigilant."

Exhausted, Anna lay on her pillow. She did not want t o say a word anymore.

Liam was right-she was too stupid. She fell for their traps again and again.

Just then, Nicole pushed open her bedroom door and came in. When she saw Lisa inside, she quickly put on a caring smile. "Anna, are you alright? Let me have a look at your injury. Is it bad?

"This is all my fault. I can't believe I forgot to wipe the floor. It's all my fault..."

"Mom, you don't have to blame yourself.” Anna put on a faint smile.

Nicole was truly an expert actress.

"Lisa, go wipe the floor. My sin would be exacerbated i f Anna were to fall again! I’ll help Anna apply some ointment."

Lisa glanced at Anna anxiously, then quietly left the room.

Nicole spoke softly as she carefully applied the ointment on Anna’s wrist.

"Now that your vision is bad, why can't you stay in your room quietly? Why did you go out? You will only cause more trouble for others."

Anna's chest tightened, yet maintained her faint smile. "I've troubled you, Mom."

"Naha, why would you say that? It’s no trouble at all. I’m just spreading some ointment. Unfortunately, you're the one that got hurt. Serious injuries like this take a long time to heal."

How could Anna not hear the mockery and ridicule in Nicole’s voice? She replied, "I may be the one that got hurt, but I still feel guilty for making you worry, Mom!"

"I think you should go check on Chloe instead. After getting slapped by Dad, I'm sure she’s boiling."

"Help me tell Chloe to simmer down. Being angry all the time isn't good for her body. Besides, we’re all family!"

Nicole glanced at Anna with eyes as sharp as thorns. She forced a faint smile onto her face. "Indeed. Chloe i s still young. She doesn't know any better. Sometimes, she does things without thinking and causes little incidents like this, evoking your father's wrath."

"Chloe is very smart. Even I am no match for her."

Nicole deliberately pretended to be surprised. "Anna, you're wrong in that sense! How can Chloe's brain be compared to yours? You are clearly the smartest one here."

Anna smiled faintly. Her eyes were as calm as freshwater. "Actually, the smartest person here is you, Mom. I must strive to learn from you."

Nicole went to Chloe's room and helped her apply ointment to her cheek.

An intense look of resentment was evident on Chloe's pretty face. "This is all that b*tch, Anna's fault! If it were not for her, Daddy never would have hit me!"

Nicole let out a despondent sigh. "Chloe, you're too rash. Have you not noticed that your father's attitude toward Anna had gone through a massive change?"

"No matter how much it changed, he still shouldn't have hit me!" Exasperated, Chloe's eyes welled up with tears.

Nicole spoke as she applied ointment for Chloe. "Do you think your father will believe I accidentally spilled oil on the flood? Do you think he will pity you just because you wailed miserably?"

"But Daddy has always pampered me before!"

"That was in the past-when he thought you were an obedient child."

Nicole sighed. "After all, you're not his biological daughter! Moreover, Anna lost her vision and proactively suggested that she should hold off on taking over the company. In his eyes, Anna is a

thoughtful daughter with no malice in her heart.

"Your father had been out fighting in the business world for so many years. Every relationship he has had long been commercialized! If Anna could not bring any benefit to him, his attitude toward her would never have taken such a big turn!"

"But Anna still wants to marry Bryan. She's just postponing the wedding. If she marries into the Dawson family, the company would eventually end up in her hands! Is Daddy oblivious to this fact?" Anna clenched her fists tightly. She was displeased. 1

"Of course, your father knows about that too, but postponing the wedding will buy him some time, which is exactly what he wants. But to be frank, even I have no idea why your father seems to be extra nice toward Anna. It's like he had become an entirely different person all of a sudden! If I complain just a little about Anna, he would rage at me. He was completely different in the past." Nicole could not unravel this mystery.

"I don’t want to remain beneath Anna forever. I don’t want the people around me to say I am not a real member of high society. The only person who can marry into the Dawson family is me!" Chloe stated determinedly.

"Chloe, this is a good thing."

"What do you mean, Mommy?” "Just think about it. Anna spends most of her time resting at home now, meaning that you will have plenty of time to spend with Bryan. Take the opportunity to get a firm grasp of Bryan’s heart. It would be even better if you get pregnant with his child. After all, Madam Dawson yearns to have a great-grandson. If you get pregnant, you'll have hope of marrying into the Dawson family!”

Chloe rubbed her stomach gently. The corner of her lips curled up wickedly. "I wonder if my womb will cooperate."

"But Mommy, do you think Anna has lost her vision? Sometimes, the fierce look in her gaze scares me a little.

"In truth, I didn’t plan to hurt her today. I just wanted t o test if she’s actually blind. To my surprise, she’s the one that landed a blow on me in the end. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mommy, she slipped and almost rolled down the stairs. Do you think she has truly lost her vision?"

Nicole pondered upon it for a while and said, "I always feel like her eyes look no different than a normal person’s. Sometimes, I do get the frightening sense that she can see through everything."

A cunning look appeared in Nicole's eyes.

"The most important step now is to find out if Anna is truly blind or not. If she really is blind, it’s a win for us; if she isn’t..."

Nicole’s eyes turned mysterious. She said in a low voice, "Then we can use that against her and beat her a t her own game.” "How shall we do that, Mommy?” Chloe’s eyes twinkled.

Nicole leaned in and whispered into Chloe's ears. A wicked smile bloomed on Chloe’s face.

'Anna Hamilton, this time, you're dead meat!’
