Chapter 20 I'll Find You a Man to Spend the Night With
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 sure I don't disappoint you." His tone was tender but his eyes were full of malice. Chloe flashed him a harmless smile. "I'll be waiting,
Bryan."
Anna wanted to return to her room to rest but was abruptly pulled aside by a flamboyantly dressed man with drowsy eyes.
The man was dressed in a white suit. His hair was dyed yellow and he had a red crystal earring on his left ear...
Anna recognized the man. He was one of the four most popular students in her school-Ryan Sanchez.
He was the great prince of the Sanchez Group, notorious for being a playboy.
He had money; he had fame. Every beauty of Johaness City who he set eyes on would surely have slept with him before. He had countless women in the palm of his hands.
Anna noticed his narrowed eyes examining her up and down. She quickly walked past him, unwilling to be caught up again.
"Hey, aren't you the infamous nerd of Johannes University? Man, let me take a good look at you. I almost couldn't recognize you!"
Ryan's gaze explored every inch of her body without restraint, making her extremely uncomfortable.
Anna's eyes, which were as bright and as clear as the moonlight, did not show a hint of warmth. She continued marching past him.
"Hey, Anna Hamilton, you look gorgeous today! You outshine even the most popular ladies at our university!"
Ryan blocked her path again. The strong stench of alcohol coming from his mouth revolted her.
"Anna, the Sanchez family is doing pretty well too. Why don't you come with me instead?" A crude smile appeared on his face.
"Move!" Anna demanded coldly.
Ryan could feel her icy gaze. Though unwilling, he got out of her way.
"Humph! You're a feisty one, aren't you!"
Ryan watched from behind as Anna's alluring figure went further and further away from him. He rubbed the red crystal on his left ear out of habit. An ominous smile appeared on his face as his eyes filled up with desire and a hint of possessiveness.
The scene was witnessed by Chloe and Nicole. A scheming look appeared in both their eyes.
"Anna, your father is asking for you to have a drink." Nicole rushed up to Anna and dragged her to see Daniel.
Anna had no way of escaping. She understood that in an event like this, it was necessary to socialize for the sake of networking.
She needed to establish strong connections since she was to take over Lincoln Group. 1
She would have to put on a smile and sip wine with them someday in the future anyway-there was no escaping it.
To her surprise, Nicole dragged her to have a drink with Liam!
Anna felt as if her legs had turned to stone; she could not move an inch. However, when she saw the faint provocative smile on Liam's face, a small flame was ignited in her heart.
'Does he think I'm afraid of him?
'How dare he look down on me!'
If Liam Ackman was not afraid of their affair tainting his reputation, why should Anna, a measly Hamilton, care about it?
With this in mind, Anna marched toward him calmly and elegantly in her high heels.
"Mr. Ackman, our little Anna is marrying Bryan soon. Since you are Bryan's uncle, that means we will all be family soon. Anna is still young, so I hope you can tolerate any shortcomings of hers." Liam glanced at Anna from the corner of his eyes. His gaze swiftly brushed past her chest. He smiled faintly.
"Mr. Hamilton, you're being too harsh. Your daughter is not a child anymore. In fact, she 'does it' quite well."
Anna was utterly embarrassed. Her eyes widened and her face glowed red.
His intentional emphasis on those words was clearly connoting something else!
'You sly fox!'
"Anna, come have a toast with your uncle." Nicole forced a glass of red wine into Anna's hand.
"To Uncle!" Anna's piercing eyes were fixed on Liam. Her eyes harbored the courage and murderous intent of a soldier.
However, Anna had just came out of surgery recently. Liam tried to stop her.
She was supposed to stay away from all alcohol!
In spite of that, the enraged woman tilted up her head and downed the entire glass at one go.
Liam's expression darkened. He had no choice but to play along, so he took a sip of his wine too. Liam's sharp eyes immediately notice Nicole's attention on the odd change in Anna's eyes.
His brows scrunched together lightly, but his frown quickly disappeared without a trace.
Anna thought she must have drank too quickly. After just a few minutes, her head ached, her body started to heat up and her breathing felt labored.
"Anna, are you feeling unwell? Let me take you to your room. You should get some rest." Chloe quickly stepped forward to hold Anna.
Anna wanted to push her away, but her head was spinning so she allowed Chloe to help her back to the guest room.
Liam watched as Anna tottered away. He could not help but worry.
Daniel wanted to take this chance to establish a connection with Liam. Thus, he made a toast to Liam himself. Even so, Liam left without even glancing at him. Daniel was humiliated but maintained a respectful smile.
Liam wanted to go check on Anna but there were too many people stopping him at the party. They were all big shots in the business world, so he had no choice but to put up with them for a while. Chloe brought Anna back to her room. When Anna finally laid on her bed, she was already drifting in and out of consciousness. Chloe yelled her name twice, but she did not react
Seeing this, Chloe quickly took Anna's phone and sent out a text. Having done that, she hastily turned off her phone. 1
Chloe gazed at the unconscious woman on the bed and scoffed. "Anna Hamilton, it's a long night to spend alone. Let me find a man to spend it with you."
After that, Chloe left in a hurry, closing the door behind her.
Meanwhile, Ryan, who was still at the party, heard his phone rang. It was a text message from an unknown number.
[Second-floor guest room. I'm waiting for you in the last room. Anna Hamilton.]
Ryan narrowed his charming eyes. His lips curled into a playful smirk. "Interesting."
Chloe was returning to the garden when she saw Byran rushing up the stairs to check in Anna.
Bryan was worried when he saw Anna unwell. Besides, it was late at night and they both had some alcohol-it was the perfect time to get it on.
When Bryan thought back on Anna's enchanting body and snow-white skin, his body subconsciously heated up. His heart yearned for her. 1
Anna was her fiancee anyway. They were getting married soon enough, so there was no harm in consummating their marriage beforehand. Moreover, it would be a good way for him to chain her down and make sure she never treated him coldly again.
"Bryan-"
He heard Chloe's coquettish call for him. She ran up to him and hugged his arm.
The guests were all gathered in the garden, so the mansion was very quiet.
Even so, Bryan was afraid that someone might see them. He hastily pushed her away.
Nonetheless, she wrapped her arms around him again. She had on an alluring smile and a seductive gaze. She gazed into his eyes as she leaned against him as if she had no bones in her body,
"Bryan-"
She called out again flirtatiously. Bryan's heart softened.
She lied softly in his embrace. "I'm a little drunk. Can you help me to my room?"
Chloe twisted around in his arms, playfully rubbing her long legs against his crotch.
Bryan felt his heart burning. A gush of heat rushed toward his lower abdomen.
Flames burned bright in his eyes. His gaze fell on her fair neck, then continued downward. Finally, it lingered on the tender skin exposed near her collar.
"I'll bring you back to your room, but I'll have to go check on Anna." Bryan gently wrapped his arms around her slim waist then squeezed hard.
Chloe whined. A flame of envy was burning up in her heart.
'Again with Anna!' 1
Ever since Anna's surprise makeover that day, everyone was only talking about how stunning and how gorgeous Anna looked.
No one bat an eye at her anymore. She had faded into the background and became nothing but a joke. Even Bryan was starting to care about Anna! "Bryan, I miss you..."
Chloe's little hand gently grabbed at his shaft, fueling his lust to a maximum.
He smirked and quickly brought Chloe to her room.
The moment the bedroom door closed, the two tangled their bodies together passionately.
Bryan pressed her against the door, immediately penetrating her with full force.
"Ah..."
Chloe yelled out softly in pain. Her body clung tightly onto his.
Bryan snorted softly. "You sexy little devil."
He pounded even harder. Chloe's body shook uncontrollably, yet she continued to let out seductive moans...
Meanwhile, Ryan ascended the stairs quietly and came to Anna's room. The moment he laid his fingers on the door, the door inched open. 2
His lips curved into a sinister smile.
"Baby, I'm here..."
He quickly pushed open the door and locked it behind him.
