Chapter 149 It's Not the End Yet
Chloe's tears pooled at the corner of her eyes.
Anna was right. Even if she handed Bryan over to Chloe, Grandmother Dawson might not even allow her into their home.
It would seem that the biggest problem was not Anna, but rather Grandmother Dawson.
"That's why there’s no point crying to me, Chloe,” said Anna.
Nicole quickly signaled Chloe with her eye to stop her from going on, or else Daniel would be angry again.
Daniel already felt on the verge of exploding as he gave Chloe a fierce glare.
"Anna, you’re tired. Let me bring you back to your room.”
Daniel personally helped Anna back to her room and said to her softly, "I know that you’re not feeling well inside, you can cry if you want to.”
Anna shook her head and faced her father smilingly. ” Dad, I'm not crying."
Daniel sighed. "Anna, I know that Chloe wronged you, but she is your sister after all. I'd hope that our family can stop arguing if that's possible.” "I'm not biased, I just want peace and harmony in our
family."
Anna smiled silently as her thoughts churned in her mind.
How could she not understand Daniel’s implication? Did he really raise Chloe all these years just because she was cute and likable?
It was known that the daughters of wealthy families were an inexhaustible source of wealth. If Anna was unable to provide Daniel with an enjoyable old age in the future, at least he still had Chloe.
Daniel was neither close nor distant with Anna over the years due to the Lincoln Group and her maternal grandfather, and Anna knew that he prepared for the future.
"Dad, I know, we're a family after all."
Daniel laughed and lowered his voice. "What about your Grandpa?"
"Don't worry, Dad. I won’t tell Grandpa about this! He’s old and I don't want to aggravate him."
"That’s good, that's good." Daniel finally let out a long sigh. "If your Grandpa knew about this, he would surely blame me for not taking care of you! First, it was your eyesight and now your fiance..."
"Sigh, it's all my fault, I was negligent. If I had noticed i t sooner then it wouldn't have come to this."
"Dad, it's not your fault! Don’t worry about Grandpa, I know how to respond even if he knows. I’ll tell him that it's all a misunderstanding and that the reporters were writing nonsense."
"Anna, you really are getting more and more intelligent." Daniel immediately laughed excitedly.
Anna swept Daniel a faint glance and lowered her eyelashes to cover the disappointment in her eyes.
It turned out that the person her father cared about the most was still Grandpa Lincoln, and his actions toward her were merely perfunctory.
Unfortunately, her father did not know that she had not been in contact with her grandfather for a long time. At most, it was only one greeting call a year.
No matter what, as long as Grandpa Lincoln was still alive, Anna would always be the unbreakable support i n Daniel's eyes.
"Dad, don’t worry. I won't call off the engagement with Bryan.”
Daniel became even happier after he heard those words. "That would be great!"
Anna's phone beeped as soon as Daniel left, surprisingly it was another message from Charles.
Anna froze for a moment, did this man set up some kind of surveillance around her? Or was she just overthinking it?
Charles.
Anna replied.
Anna furiously tapped on her phone.
Charles finally replied to a message after a long time.
Anna’s heart trembled as she felt an inexplicably strange feeling creep up her head.
What did he mean when he said it was not the end yet? Why did it feel like this man wanted to do something? Or was he saying that there was a storm brewing?
Charles did not reply any further and neither did Anna. However, Anna could sense that Charles was angry, and it was an extreme kind of anger.
Anna smacked her own head. "Am I crazy? It has nothing to do with me whether or not he's angry! Liam is already enough of an annoyance to me!”
Anna could not help but sigh at the thought of Liam.
"And I don't know what that damn pervert meant!
What the hell is he thinking!”
Anna collapsed on the bed and stared at the ceiling above her. She tossed and turned but was still unable t o calm her emotions.
Liam was not in a good mood either.
That woman actually said that he had no chance!
There's no such thing as "no chance" in Liam's book!
He irritably turned off his computer, there was no way for him to calm down and work. His dark expression terrified James who wanted to report his job so he quickly retreated from the office so as not to become a punching bag.
"Go check out what that scumbag Bryan is doing!" barked Liam out of a sudden at James.
"Yes, Sir!"
Bryan dared not leave the house these few days, the entrance to his house was packed with reporters.
The Dawsons had not come forward with a response t o the gossip in the newspaper. The reporters blocked the entrance and kept watch day and night to get firsthand news.
Bryan dared not leave the house. He called Anna a few times but they were all declined by her.
Bryan knew that Anna was mad at him. However, what could he do to make Anna believe him this one time?
Bryan went and looked for Grandmother Dawson and told her that he wanted to go to the Hamiltons to look for Anna. Grandmother Dawson also felt that he should apologize in person so she arranged a car to lure the reporters away to allow Bryan to quietly slip out.
Grandmother Dawson repeatedly reminded him before he left. "Remember, you can't be entangled with Chloe anymore! When you arrive and see her, you know what to do."
Grandmother Dawson also wanted to take this opportunity to test Bryan’s capabilities during emergencies. If he could not clean up after his own mess, he would just be an empty figurehead for the Dawson family in the future.
Bryan successfully arrived at the Hamilton residence but he did not expect that place to be swarmed by reporters as well. He drove past the gate into the residence so that he would not be caught by the reporters.
The reporters started a live broadcast that stated Bryan was there to admit his mistake in person. However, they were unsure whether Bryan would ultimately leave with the older or younger sister.
Daniel saw Bryan and his face went dark with rage.
"You still have the audacity to show up!"
Bryan apologized profusely and claimed that it was all a misunderstanding, but he was just twisting his words.
Bryan noticed that Daniel's expression was still unpleasant as ever and quickly said, "Granny said that after a couple of days when everything has calmed down, we'll fix a wedding date." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Daniel's eyes lit up. "Beally?"
"Absolutely!"
Daniel's expression finally flipped around. "Anna is upstairs, go look for her."
"Thank you, Mr. Hamilton.”
Anna knew Bryan had arrived. She stood by the window and saw him driving into the courtyard and proceeded to creep into the mansion like a rat.
Bryan knocked on the door repeatedly but Anna did not open the door.
She did not want to see Bryan’s deceitful face and she did not want to hear any more of his explanations. It would just make herself seem even more foolish.
However, Anna shifted her gaze immediately after. The corners of her lips gradually curled up with a smile as she slowly opened the door.
"Bryan, you’re here."
