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

Chapter 198 Stammered

Chloe stepped closer to Anna and glared at her viciously.

"Anna, is it really that pure between you and Mr. Ackman? Better not let me catch you in the act!"

"What's there between us? Why don't I know about it?" Anna shrugged fearlessly.

"I’ve never seen a pure friendship between a man and a woman where they give each other wedding dresses!" Chloe’s face went red with anger.

"Mr. Ackman said it's fine as long as I like it!” Anna smiled.

Chloe angrily gritted her teeth.

Nicole hurriedly ran toward them and dragged Chloe away and said to her softly, "Enough, stop making so much noise! She has Mr. Ackman's support now!"

"Mommy! Don't be afraid of her! She has nothing now! So what if Mr. Ackman supports her! They can’t be together judging by their status!" Chloe still refused to back down.

"Alright, alright, keep it down. I’m really annoyed!" said Nicole impatiently.

"Mommy, what's wrong?"

Nicole waved her hand, "It's fine, just take care of your baby and don’t cause any more trouble! Wait till you’ve successfully married into the Dawson family then we’ll talk."

Chloe tugged on Nicole. "Mommy, your behavior doesn't seem so good lately, did something happen?”

Nicole was in a daze and she quickly shook her head." It's really nothing! Everything’s fine if you're fine."

Anna eyed Nicole with suspicion as well. Nicole had been a little strange lately, she always seemed distracted. Anna had no idea what she was scheming this time.

Anna gave Lisa a look and then Lisa followed her back to her room.

Anna shut her door tight and asked Lisa softly," What's Nicole busy with recently?"

Lisa gave it some thought. "Recently she doesn't seem busy with anything in particular. She's always learning recipes and helping Ms. Chloe improve her health."

Anna raised her eyebrow. "Why do I feel that she’s being weird?"

"Ms. Anna, do you feel that she's planning to set you u p again?” Lisa started to worry.

Anna shook her head. "I'm not sure, but there’s no harm in being careful.”

She raised her hand and gently touched her eyes. She still remembered the piercing pain in her eyes when she was injured as clearly as yesterday.

"I won't allow them to hurt me again!"

"Why do they keep coming back one after another? Can't they stop for a moment and leave everyone in peace? Ms. Chloe is going to marry into the Dawson family, what more do they want? Can’t they let you g o?” Lisa could not hold back her anger any longer.

"Chloe and Nicole always think that I'm pretending to be blind! They tested me again and again so that they could find proof that I'm pretending to be blind. They want the public to know that I've been pretending to b e the victim so that they can clear their name."

Lisa worriedly held onto Anna's hand. "Ms. Anna, quickly think of a plan! I’m afraid it would be hard to redeem yourself again if they get another chance to strike!"

"I'm old and don't know much about the internet and public forums, but I know that if people there started passing around nonsense about someone, that person would have their reputation ruined."

"With Ms. Anna’s status and position, you must pay even more attention to your reputation. When you take over the company in the future, cooperations, negotiations, and the company’s reputation, and even your future in-laws, would depend on your reputation!"

"That mother-daughter duo surely has to ruin your reputation before they'll stop."

Anna patted Lisa’s hand in comfort. "I know, I'll be careful. Don’t worry, Lisa." "It's time for my eyesight to recover now, they won't be able to get the upper hand that way," said Anna.

Lisa nodded her head continuously. "Right, right! That way you can return to school and avoid them! As long as your eyesight is back, they won't be able to use this matter to threaten you anymore."

"Lisa, keep a close eye on Nicole these few days. Let m e know anytime she does anything suspicious!"

Lisa nodded her head. "Don’t worry, Ms. Anna. I've always kept a close eye on both of them!"

Anna asked Lisa to keep an eye on Nicole and found out that Nicole was always sneaking out and it was unknown what for.

Anna then noticed Nicole sneaking into Daniel's study room and quietly followed her.

When Nicole came out of the study room, she did not expect Anna to be standing by the door and let out a scream out of fright and dropped the item in her hand.

Nicole was so frightened that her chest tightened. She let out her breath when she remembered that Anna was still blind and should not be able to see her.

"Standing here without a sound, are you trying to scare me to death?"

When Nicole was about to pick up the item that she had dropped, Anna had already bent over and picked i t up first.

"Dad's cufflinks? What are you doing with these?"

"What do you mean what! You..." Nicole suddenly gasped as she pointed at Anna. Her face instantly went pale as a sheet.

"You... You..." Nicole was so shocked that her mouth was wide open. She finally finished her sentence after a long time. "You... You can see now!"

Anna glanced at Nicole with indifference. "What? Are you hoping that I would be blind forever?"

"N... No... You..."

Nicole was so surprised that she stared at Anna like a stuck pig. She could not recover her composure even after a long time.

Anna chuckled plainly. "What exactly are you trying to say? Are you too happy because I can finally see?"

Happy?

How would Nicole be happy?

She really hoped that Anna would be blind for the rest of her life!

Anna looked at the precious cufflinks in her hand and slowly furrowed her eyebrows. "These look like Dad's cufflinks. What are you doing with Dad's stuff?"

Nicole's face was suddenly drained of color as she stammered to explain.

"I... I... I'm just... That..."

Anna looked at Nicole and walked toward her step by step. Nicole was so scared that she quickly lowered her head and clutched her hands tightly together.

"What's wrong? Are you sick? Why are you sweating s o much?" asked Anna as she pretended to be concerned.

Nicole wiped the sweat off her forehead as she tried to avoid Anna's interrogative stare. Why did she not regain her eyesight earlier or later, but instead it had t o be this moment when she regained her sight!

"Nicole?"

"I... I'm fine!" Nicole forced an ugly smile.

“You're fine?" Anna furrowed her eyebrows. Nicole dared not raise her head as Anna’s gaze was even fiercer than before.

Chloe hurriedly rushed forward and protected Nicole." Anna, what are you doing!? Are you bullying Mommy?"

Anna glanced at Chloe with a forced smile and said," Which eye did you use to see me bullying your mother? I was asking her why she took Dad's cufflinks!" Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"What cufflinks! Why would Mommy take Daddy’s cufflinks? Don't make such unfounded accusations!” shouted Chloe.

Nicole hurriedly tugged on Chloe and pointed toward Anna's eyes and said softly, "She can see now!"

"What? Mommy, what did you say?" Chloe thought that she was hearing things.

At that moment, Daniel's voice came from downstairs. "What are you guys doing gathering there?”

Anna held the cufflinks in her hands tightly and smiled brightly.

Nicole was so terrified when she saw Anna’s smile that her legs immediately turned to jelly. She grabbed onto Chloe as if she were her only protection.
