Chapter 182 Already Deeply Involved
Chapter 182 Already Deeply Involved
Anna had walked along the street for a long time. Suddenly, a car stopped in front of her, blocking her path.
She looked up and saw Liam striding out of the car.
Without saying a word, he grabbed her and stuffed her into his car.
She widened her eyes in shock. "What are you doing!”
Liam glanced at her. He started the engine without uttering a word.
"Where are you taking me!"
Anna was reminded of the day Liam devoured her whole in the car. Filled with terror, Anna hugged herself tightly and glared at him with vigilant eyes.
"Aren’t you afraid that someone will snap pictures of you ambling along the streets!" Liam's voice was still frigid without warmth.
"It's not like I'm doing anything shameful! What am I supposed to be afraid of!" Anna fumed.
Liam shot a glance at her from the corner of his eyes. Finally, Anna remembered that to the outside world, she was a blind woman. Casually strolling on the streets at night would surely arouse others’ suspicions.
She rolled her eyes at Liam and muttered, "I don’t need
you to be all up in my business!"
Liam glanced at the rear-view mirror. His expression instantly turned dark. He sped up the car.
Anna had also noticed the two cars behind them following his car at a peculiar distance.
"Are those not your bodyguards?" Anna mumbled in a low voice.
"No." He drove even faster.
"Who are they?" Anna’s heart hung over the edge as she saw Liam’s grave expression.
"If my guess is correct, they're probably paparazzi," said Liam.
"What? Paparazzi!"
Anna hurriedly scrunched up her body and hid away. She was afraid that the paparazzi tailing them would get a photo of her.
"Drive faster! We have to lose them!" Anna commanded anxiously.
Liam glanced at Anna, who had hidden herself. From that angle, the things in front of her chest looked exceptionally alluring.
He glanced at the rear-view mirror again. The cars were still following tight behind them.
Liam's lips curled up into a contemptuous smile as he slowly stepped harder on the accelerator.
"They’re catching up. Make sure you're well hidden!" "Ah... Drive faster!"
Anna covered her mouth in fear, holding back her urge to scream. She slid even further down to conceal herself.
She looked up, gazing at Liam as he turned the steering wheel in a focused manner. Her heart could not help but skip a beat.
The way he drove with full focus made him look so manly!
From that angle, she could see his stiff jaw and his enticing neck. She suddenly felt the urge to take a bite out of him.
She swallowed some saliva. When she saw him glancing at her from the bottom of his eyes, she quickly looked away and covered her warm cheeks.
"Did you... Did you lose them?"
"No."
"They're still chasing us?"
"Yes.”
"Umm... They’re so troublesome!"
"A little troublesome indeed.” Liam glanced at the rearview mirror. There was nothing on the empty street beside the dim streetlights-there was not a car in sight.
He had long lost the two cars tailing them.
He glanced at Anna, who had crouched on the floor. Her breasts were plain for all to see. Liam's throat could not help but dry up.
Anna endured the soreness in her knees. "You still haven't lost them?"
"Oh, not yet." He glanced at her chest again.
At that moment, she was like an adorable little kitten. His heart melted.
Anna was getting annoyed. "That’s why I said we shouldn’t go out together like this! It's too dangerous! Who knows what kind of ridiculous headline they will publish if they get a photo of us!
"Mr. Liam Ackman of the multinational Ackman
Group was out with a woman late at night. The woman is suspected to be Anna Hamilton, the former fiancee of his nephew!"
"See? I can already predict the kind of headline they will publish. It will surely attract millions of readers again. If that were to happen..."
Anna felt the car slowing down. She looked up and gazed at Liam confusedly.
"Anna Hamilton, are you that afraid of being involved with me?”
"Uh..." "Do I embarrass you?"
"That’s not it!" "Then what is it!"
Anna gazed into Liam's eyes, which were as cold as a frozen lake. Her heart skipped a beat and inexplicably started racing.
"I..." She looked down and pressed her lips together. " Although my marriage with Bryan had been called off ... You're still my uncle..."
"Get out!"
Liam interrupted coldly before she could finish.
He could not believe she mentioned Bryan again! It seemed like that man held an important place in her heart!
Flames of fury burned within him and his expression turned as black as coal.
Anna shut her mouth annoyedly. Just as she was about to get up, she realized that both her legs had gone numb.
Even so, she was determined to leave. When she got out of the car, she realized that they were already at the Hamiltons’ home.
Seeing her struggle, Liam got out of the car too and grabbed her to support her.
However, he was too strong. Her numb legs made her fall right into Liam's arms.
Anna was afraid that someone might snap a picture of her. She quickly escaped from his embrace, gritted her teeth, and stood on her own two feet. She turned back. That was when she noticed the street behind them was completely empty. No cars were tailing them at all!
"You tricked me!" Anna was about to cry.
"You're the one who wouldn't stand up and kept hiding," Liam replied.
Anna glared at him angrily. How could he be so blackhearted! NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Even so, Liam turned to her smilingly. "I was enjoying the scenery."
Anna followed his gaze with her eyes and ended up looking at her own breasts. She hurriedly hugged herself.
"Liam Ackman, you're so shameless!"
Liam took her criticism nonchalantly. He went ahead and walked up to the door. He rang the doorbell of the Hamiltons’ home.
Then, he came back to Anna, wanting to help her. However, she refused.
"I can walk myself!” Anna endured the numbing pain i n her legs and went around him.
"You better!" Liam watched as her slender body swayed left and right. He continued calmly, "Only
when you can truly stand steady on your feet will you not need the help of those around you."
Anna was stunned. She slowly turned back and gazed at the man standing beneath the dim lights. His black eyes were as bright as a cold star.
Why did the man's words always have to be so deep?
"I am giving you the chance to get involved with me. This is a favor many had dreamed to obtain.”
Anna's eyes twinkled. Her dismayed heart was instantly enveloped by a feeling she had never experience before. It was warm as if blanketed in a veil of sweetness.
"There really were people tailing us. Be more careful next time. It seems like someone is launching their counterattack,” Liam pointed out.
Touched, Anna gazed at him. "It's not that I don't want to use you as my shield. It's just that... I don’t want you to be dragged into this whirlpool.”
Having said that, she turned away and entered the Hamiltons' home. She did not glance back at him again.
Liam leaned against the hood of his car and lit a cigarette. Only when he saw Lisa help Anna into the mansion did he get into his car and leave.
Daniel and Nicole thought that it was Chloe coming home. They excitedly came out to greet her. When they saw that it was Anna, the smile on their faces
turned cold.
"Why are you back so late? Where did Assistant Miller take you?" Daniel asked in a stern voice.
Anna did not speak.
"Anna, why kind of attitude is that? Your father is talking to you!" Nicole glanced at her in an aloof manner.
Daniel's expression was starting to grow dark. Just as he was about to scold Anna, Lisa spoke up.
"Sir, it was Mr. Ackman that personally drove Ms. Anna home!"
Lisa's words were like a panacea—not only did Daniel’s expression change, but he also smiled merrily and asked Anna.
"Anna, why did Mr. Ackman want to see you this time? Did you tell him that we’ve been taking good care of you at home? And that you can return to school and prepare for your internship soon."
Anna's expression was as cold as ice. She nodded with a half-smile. "Of course, I did. Mr. Ackman even said that he was very grateful for your meticulous care toward me, Dad."
"That’s good, that's good. Remember to put in a good word for me every time you see Mr. Ackman."
Anna scoffed. She turned away and headed upstairs without replying.
It turned out that her involvement with Liam had already grown this deep without her realizing it.
