All the guests were discussing Grandmother Dawson’s special guest.When Anna overheard their conversation, she felt ripples forming in her heart. Although she did not know Liam Ackman personally, she had definitely heard of him before.Liam was a mystery among the upper class. He was the prince of the Ackman family’s billion-dollar empire—a man loved by God himself.Countless rumors surrounded the man, among which included word that he was a cold-blooded man who would destroy his competition without hesitation.Only a few years had passed since he took over the family business. In those few years, the Ackman family steadily rose up the global wealth ranking and had then joined the top ten billionaires list.A distinguished man like him naturally had tens of thousands of women chasing after him. After all, he was tall, handsome, and rich—down to the bone.However, all those were merely rumors. Liam never appeared in the media. Even if he did, it would just be a blurry picture of

Anna’s face was as red as blood. Her cold gaze was fixed on the man. She yearned to skin the pervert alive.She raised her leg and kicked hard between his legs.Liam quickly closed his legs, blocking her attack. He pulled her by her slim waist and encapsulated her petite body within his embrace. Her dainty body was pressed tight against his, rendering her with no room to struggle.“Hey, what will you use if you break it?”Anna ground her teeth. “Use it for yourself!”“It only wants you.”“It wants your right hand even more!” Anna thought she must be losing her mind; otherwise, she would never allow such crude words to leave her mouth, tarnishing her esteemed family name.Nonetheless, a pervert like him deserved to hear such words.“No, it wants your hands even more.”“...”How could he say something so obscene as if it was normal!Liam took her hand and slowly brought it toward his lower abdomen.Anna struggled with all her might. Horrified, her eyes welled up with tears.

In the middle of the stage.Grandmother Dawson gazed at the guests beneath the stage with kind and tender eyes. Her face glowed with a light tinge of red.“Thank you all for attending this old lady’s birthday party!”The guests applauded.“In conjunction with this party, I’d like to introduce a special guest to all of you. I believe you all would have heard of him.“You know him by his many sobriquets: the Ackman prince, the business genius, the ice-cold general… Hehehe.”All the guests gasped at once.They had awaited this moment for so long—finally, the mysterious man’s face was revealed for all to see.Discussions broke out among the guests.“The Dawson family sure is proud. I can’t believe the Ackman prince personally attended Grandmother Dawson’s birthday party!”The ladies among the guests squealed.“He’s so handsome!”“I really like him…”“I hope I can have a drink with him later.”There were even women plotting to create an ‘accidental’ drunken adventure with him

Anna took her seat beside Grandmother Dawson. In front of her sat Liam, and beside her was Bryan.Bryan forcibly curled his stiff lips into a smile, holding down the discontent in his heart. In a soft tone, he inquired, “Anna, you just came out of surgery. Is there any food you need to avoid?”Having such a compassionate fiance made Anna the envy of many women.Even so, Anna simply replied with a short mumble.Among the guests, someone whispered, “That’s a Hamilton for you. Already stepping over our heads the moment she arrived.”“Haha, well, she’s the successor of Lincoln Group after all. Although the Lincoln Group has been a little shaky these few years, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. That’s where her status lies.”“Ah, so that’s what makes her so special.”A profound look appeared in Liam’s eyes. His complex expression made it hard to decipher his true feelings.Sitting opposite of Liam, Anna felt immensely nervous and uncomfortable.The dining table was n

Anna noticed that Liam was approaching her. Terrified that the carefree man might casually reveal their relationship to others, Anna hastily ran away.Liam’s eyes turned dull when he saw her escape.Chloe gazed at Bryan with playful eyes. “Bryan, the only one I love is you. I was simply trying to establish good relations with your uncle because I want to be with you.”Bryan’s expression somewhat resembled a smile. His eyes were dull and murky. “Chloe, let me ask you something: did Anna figure something out?”He had seen immense changes in Anna’s behavior lately; he almost could not recognize her anymore.The only thing left unchanged about her was her identity. Otherwise, it was safe to say that Anna had morphed into a completely different person!Chloe maintained her sweet smile. “It can’t be. Anna looks fine to me. Bryan, perhaps you’re overthinking.”“Chloe, you better not play games with me, alright? Be a good girl and when I become the head of the Dawson family, I’ll make s
