Anna followed Bruce for a long while, but couldn’t find out anything about him. First, he went to the ATMs for some cash, weighed the thick wad of cash in his hands, sucked on his cigarette, then slipped into a club for some fun.Anna wanted to go in, but all of the men that went in didn’t look like kind, model citizens, and her footsteps faltered.She dialed Jamie’s number, “Yes, it’s a club called the Rolling Stones!”“My dear, that’s not somewhere you should be. Don’t go in there! It’s filled with gamblers and drug addicts, the moment you step in, you can’t leave until you’ve left an arm or a leg behind.”At his words, Anna felt a layer of cold sweat forming on her back.Who knew the smiley, kind and friendly middle-aged man would be a drug addict!“I’m not going in there, I just wanted to know, it’s nothing… I’ll drop by for a drink when I have the time, bye.”Annie hurriedly ended the call, avoiding his questions.Anna clutched the steering wheel tightly, throwing a few glances t

Nicole and her mother glanced at each other. In front of Daniel, none of them spoke.Because they could tell, Daniel was desperate to collaborate with the Ackman Group. He wanted to tug on the rope that was Liam Ackman.If Anna could help him secure this rope, he would only celebrate if Anna and Liam grew closer.Chloe returned to her room, and said to her mother furiously, “Previously Daddy was biased towards me because I could use the baby to secure my position as the future Mrs. Dawson. But it’s the other way round now! Anna is full of tricks indeed, she could land a man like Liam to beat me down! She made him come to our house on purpose, to show me who’s boss!”Nicole pulled Chloe onto the bed, gently caressing her protruding stomach.“You are pregnant, don’t get angry! Don’t worry, your belly is your trump card to success. Who knows what the deal is with Anna and Mr. Ackman?”“But Mom, look at how Dad completely switched his tune!” Chloe stomped her feet in anger.Then, Chloe lo

The moment the words left the seductive woman’s mouth, Anna felt like her whole world came to a standstill.It was a mere second, and yet she felt like a lifetime had passed.Liam squinted his eyes at the woman, but said nothing, pressing Anna into his side.The woman was displeased by his cold attitude. She scoffed and left, holding a glass of champagne in her hands, her heels clacking away across the hardwood floor.Anna felt uncomfortable, she wanted to struggle against his hold, but he was just too strong for her.She wanted to ask him, who was that ‘her’.In a place like this, she couldn’t.The question weighed on her like a brick, heavy and uncomfortable. Someone else approached them for a toast and some small talk.Anna gave up her struggles, forcing a polite, dignified smile onto her face, and addressed the guests together with Liam.Maybe because they saw the smile on his face, more and more people started to approach them.Within minutes, five or six batches of guests had co

Anna knew Liam must be hiding some problems from her.If not, why would someone like him, who hardly drank, suddenly want to have a drink?James drove the car back to the city and stopped in front of a bar.Anna followed him and stepped out of the elevator on the ninth floor.Looking at the lights shining red and green in the darkness, she was reminded of when she first met him. It was also in a bar like this, she was enveloped in a drunken haze, she was lost in the moment and…She studied him subtly, her cheeks heating.Liam didn’t look at her, dark gaze intense and focused as if looking for something.Anna also turned and studied her surroundings; she suddenly realized the décor looked familiar and was startled.Liam brought her to the pub where Nina used to work part time, the Earldom Club. The floors were divided according to the customers’ spending ability.This was the ninth floor, the most expensive floor in the Earldom Club.Anna grew cautious because ever since she stepped fo

Anna felt the woman’s sobs sounded particularly familiar.She turned and looked at them, but the man had already pulled the woman into the room.It can’t be, she thought.At this hour, Nina should be taking care of her mother in the hospital, she wouldn’t be here.Besides, Nina was going to start work at the Ackman Group, she had quit her part-time job here.She followed behind Liam and walked out of the Earldom Club.The valet had already driven their car over.Liam entered the car and motioned for Anna to follow suit.Anna hesitated.“I’m going to the bathroom, wait for me! I’ll be back in a minute!” Anna left these words behind and rushed back into the club.She couldn’t withstand her curiosity.The woman sounded too much like Nina!She returned to the ninth floor and traced her steps back to the room she saw them in.The door to the room was shut, but there was a crack between the doors.She looked into the room through the cracks…She could vaguely see a man’s figure, and a half-e
