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

Chapter 10 A Magnificent Entrance

Almost all the esteemed guests had arrived. On the contrary, the future daughter-in-law of the Dawson family had not arrived. Whispers arose among the crowd.

"This Hamilton lady sure is pompous. I can't believe she's late for her grandmother-in-law's birthday party.”

"Grandmother Dawson's future granddaughter-in-law i s late for her birthday party. How embarrassing for the Dawson family." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Anxious, Daniel called Anna dozens of times.

Grandmother Dawson, too, was constantly sending people out to check if Anna had arrived.

Humiliated, Daniel’s expression turned darker than a storm.

Nicole whispered to him, "Anna's behavior has become quite intolerable these few days. Could she be acting so arrogantly because she knows she’s taking over Lincoln Group soon? I can't believe she would embarrass even Grandmother Dawson.”

Daniel scoffed. "Humph! What a naive little brat! Who does she think she is? Without the help of the Dawson family, her transition into Lincoln Group would never be smooth sailing!”

Nicole wrapped her arm around his, gently stroking his chest. "Danny, all these years, you've toiled so hard for Lincoln Group, yet now, you are forced to retire. Do you think it's worth it?"

Daniel turned to Nicole with a confused look.

Nicole hurriedly smiled and explained, "I just think Anna is too young to take over the company. I’m worried that she might undo your years of hard work.

"Grandpa Lincoln is busy recuperating overseas. He doesn't pay attention to what’s happening in the company anymore. If the company goes bankrupt under Anna's leadership, how will you break the news to Grandpa Lincoln?"

Daniel looked down, pondering hard on Nicole’s words.

Although Nicole did not know what Daniel was thinking at the moment, at least she knew that her words had not fallen on deaf ears.

Amelia Dawson walked over to Bryan with a smirk on her face. "Wow, your fiancee is so humiliating.

Perhaps the Hamilton family had always viewed you with contempt, yet you still got engaged with Anna. Every day, you run around her like her little puppy dog."

Bryan’s expression darkened with rage. He clenched his fists tight, his veins popping. Nonetheless, he managed to reply to his elder sister in a calm manner.

"Anna has some matters to attend to. That's why she’s late."

Amelia snickered. "What could be more important than grandma’s birthday party? Face it, Bryan, Anna has always looked down on you."

Bryan endured her insults.

Suddenly, Amelia held her arms to her chest and twirled in her spot. Following that was a series of stinging insults hurled toward Bryan. "Do you think anyone believes that securing a wife from a noble family would mean they'll magically turn into a noble of pureblood? Ah, I guess that's what it's like being the only child. Every day, you are showered with gold, yet gold can never wash away the stench coming from within your bones."

Bryan stared loathingly at Amelia. A tinge of blood-red emerged in his eyes.

To him, being called an only child was equivalent to a stab through the heart.

Even so, Bryan smiled and said, "Amelia, my past doesn’t matter at all. I am still an heir of the Dawson family because I am the only son of this household."

Amelia scoffed and stormed away.

Just as all the guests were starting to think Anna would never show up, the front door of the Dawson family mansion was slowly being pushed open.

Rays of sunlight flooded in through the door, lighting u p the doorway. Amidst that spectacular beam of light, an elegant and tall figure appeared.

Everyone turned their attention toward the door. The rowdy ballroom had instantly gone silent.

The guests held their breaths as they watched the beautiful woman emerge from behind the radiant light.

Her off-shoulder white dress showed off the exquisite curves of her body.

Her dazzling collarbones were exposed above her dress. A diamond pendant hung around her neck, complimenting her snow-white skin.

The woman had light makeup on her face. Her eyes sparkled as if they were filled with all the stars in the sky-they were incredibly dazzling.

Her hair was simply draped behind her back, adding o n to the casual aesthetics of the little lady's outfit. She appeared splendidly elegant and classy.

The woman glowed in the sunlight. It was as if she was a princess walking out of a fairy tale.

Everyone inhaled sharply.

The woman's appearance had overshadowed every lady in the ballroom who had dolled themselves up for the party.

This woman...

Who was she?

The woman sauntered straight toward Grandmother Dawson. She smiled and said, "Grandma, happy

birthday. I wish you a long and healthy life. My apologies for being late."

Once again, the guests inhaled sharply. They exclaimed, "This woman is Anna Hamilton? The one who only wore white shirts and jeans? The one who always had huge, black-rimmed glasses? That Anna Hamilton?”

Needless to say, the guests were incredibly shocked. That was when they truly understood the meaning of' beauty like no other'.

Even Bryan, who was standing beside Grandmother Dawson, was completely stunned. He gazed dreamily a t Anna, frozen.

It was the first time he had seen Anna this way. With a surprised expression, he complimented tenderly," Anna, you look stunning today.”

As he said that, he held up his arm, waiting for Anna t o take his arm.

Anna gazed at Bryan. He had on the same charming smile as before. Anna took a deep breath after another, suppressing her urge to slap him.

Finally, she forced out a smile and took his arms in hers.
