Daniel continued to ponder upon it at home.
If Liam really viewed Anna so highly and wanted her t o work in Ackman Group for a few years, it would be perfectly justifiable for him to continue managing Lincoln Group for the foreseeable future!
With the giant Ackman Group to lean on, Daniel would not have to be controlled by Grandfather Lincoln either!
The thought of that made Daniel drop the heavy burden he had been carrying in his heart all that while. He could finally see the fruits of his perseverance.
His attitude toward Anna had once again taken a huge turn.
Previously, Daniel grew warmer to Anna because she could not take over the company at her current state. He treated Anna like the most precious treasure in the house, taking care of her in every way possible. He even ordered Chloe and Nicole around and made sure they took good care of Anna. He made it clear that he would not tolerate a single mishap.
Nicole and Chloe were terrified by Daniel's stern behavior toward them.
Previously, Daniel had always just put on a show-this time, he was dead serious.
Both Nicole and Chloe turned timid with their actions. Anna's status in the house had risen like the ocean tides, leaving the mother-daughter duo with no status i n the house at all. They were like maids serving her.
Those few years, the two had always been humble and submissive toward Anna, just like maids. After so many years, they finally saw hope, yet it was once again shattered!
Nonetheless, Daniel had given his orders and neither o f them dared to oppose him. Thus, they could only endure it for the time being and search for another chance to turn the tides.
Grandmother Dawson had called the Hamilton family over for dinner with the Dawson family.
Anna had not visited Grandmother Dawson since she got discharged from the hospital. It was about time she visited her.
After Anna got ready to leave, Lisa helped her out of the house.
Seeing this, Daniel quickly commanded, "Chloe, go help your sister."
Chloe staggered. She widened her almond-shaped eyes. Even so, she still ran up to Anna and held her arm with a smile.
"Anna, be careful. Let me guide you."
"Okay, Chloe. Help me with my bag too." Anna instructed Lisa to hand her bag to Chloe.
'This b*tch wants me to serve her as a maid!’ Chloe fumed internally.
Chloe glared at Anna. She squeezed out a faint smile o n her face. "Be careful, Anna. I'll help you get in the car.
"Daddy, I'll drive Anna there,” Chloe said to Daniel smilingly.
"Good idea!" Daniel nodded. "Be careful on the road, alright? Your sister can’t see."
"Okay, Daddy. Don’t worry, you can leave Anna to me!"
After getting into the car, Chloe glanced at Anna, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. Her lips pursed up and as she glared at Anna with evil eyes.
'Don't be too happy, Anna Hamilton. Just wait and see!’
Chloe did not believe that Anna could hold her down forever. She was sure that one day, the tables would turn!
Chloe started the engine and drove off.
Anna noticed the sinister grin on Chloe's lips. She kept her guard up and subtly clutched to her seat belt.
As she had expected, Chloe hit the brakes hard every time they reached a red light, causing the car to shake violently.
Anna was flung forward. Luckily, she had gripped tightly onto her seat belt so did not get injured.
Chloe glared at Anna. ‘You really are cautious!’
Chloe did not believe that Anna could always be one step ahead of her.
She hit the brakes again and flung Anna toward the car window. She groaned in pain.
"Chloe, can't you drive properly?” Anna was annoyed.
"Sorry, Anna. The light turned red all of a sudden."
Anna suppressed her rage. "Be more careful when you drive!”
"Alright, Anna. Sit tight."
Chloe sped to the Dawson family mansion. When Anna got out of the car, she was as pale as a ghost.
The fact that she did not vomit from Chloe's crazy driving could only be credited to her high tolerance!
Chloe snorted triumphantly. It was an excellent outlet for her hatred.
Daniel had also arrived. When he saw that Anna was feeling unwell, he hurriedly ran over and held her arm.
It was all too strange!
Just then, Grandmother Dawson came out to welcome them with Amelia.
"Oh, my precious Anna. Come give me a hug.”
Daniel brought Anna in front of Grandmother Dawson for a hug.
Grandmother Dawson's instantly turned red. "Oh, my dear Anna, how did this happen! You must have suffered through a lot. Are you feeling better now? Did the doctor say when you can regain your vision?"
Anna smiled and said softly, "I’m feeling much better,
Grandma. As for my vision... I believe it will recover."
Grandmother Dawson wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes. "You are such a strong child! I'm glad you have confidence in yourself."
She held Anna's hand lovingly. "Take your time. And don't panic. That's the last thing you want to do! Rest assured, Anna. Perhaps you’ll regain your vision the very next day!"
Anna sat quietly beside Grandmother Dawson. With a faint smile on her face, she gazed at the air in front of her through her hollow eyes. She looked just like a blind person.
She had been keeping up this blind act for a long time, and thus had become something of an expert. Even Grandmother Dawson's sharp eyes could not see through her act.
Grandmother Dawson gazed at Anna's bright and glistening eyes. In a soft tone, she said, "Anna, please don't blame me for not visiting you at the hospital. It's been raining a lot lately, so it's inconvenient for me to get around with these old legs of mine."
"Don't say that, Grandma. I’m the one who should apologize for making you worry about me." i
"What a thoughtful child you are." Grandmother Dawson gazed at her with tender eyes and gently caressed her head.
"Grandma, how have you been feeling lately? I haven't visited you for a while. I was very worried." Anna's words were genuine. Grandmother Dawson had always been caring toward her, so Anna saw her as her own grandmother.
Were it not for her incident with Ryan Sanchez, Grandmother Dawson would never have ended up in the hospital. Anna had always felt guilty for that.
"I have recovered long ago. It’s just that the people in this house are all overly cautious! Every time I say more than the usual, these people make me go back to bed. Luckily, I have you here to chat with me today."
Amelia quickly explained, "Grandma, the doctor said that you have to take lots of rest and be sure you don't tire yourself out. We're just worried about you. You almost gave us a heart attack last time!"
Amelia turned to Anna and deliberately raised her voice by a decibel. "It's all because of Ryan Sanchez. H e landed Grandma in the hospital for days!"
Anna felt her chest tighten. Amelia’s words clearly indicated her intentions to stir up trouble!
