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 his tall figure from behind.
In the upper class social circle, countless women dreamed of marrying into the Ackman familybecoming Liam Ackman's wife. There was no greater honor than that.
Much to their dismay, the golden boy had no interest i n women. In fact, he was a gay man who frequented gay bars.
Bryan stood beside Anna, constantly asking her if she was tired and if she wanted to rest. His tender and loving act was the envy of many bystanders.
Chloe stood on the other side of Anna. She clutched tightly onto her handbag. Turning to Anna, Chloe smiled. "Anna, Bryan is so nice to you. I'm so jealous! Bryan, after you both get married, will you treat me with such kindness too?"
Bryan turned to Chloe and smiled warmly. "You're Anna's little sister. That makes you my sister too. I'll definitely treat you as family."
"Bryan, you're the best!" Chloe flashed a sweet smile at him.
Standing between Bryan and Chloe, Anna felt immensely uncomfortable. She yearned to choke those two-faced bastards to death.
Anna turned away and left. Bryan quickly followed behind. "Anna, where're you going?”
Anna did not even bother to look back.
She simply spat out, "Bathroom."
Chloe’s coquettish voice sounded from behind. "Bryan To her surprise, Bryan did not even look back. Instead, he followed Anna to the bathroom.
Enraged, Chloe was subtly grinding her teeth.
Bryan had caught up to Anna. "Anna, why didn't you tell me about your surgery? I could have kept you company at the hospital. I could have taken care of you.”
Anna's gaze was cold. In her eyes, any care that Bryan showed was nothing but an act.
Bryan noticed her indifferent attitude. His chest tightened. "Anna, what's wrong?”
Anna smiled and replied, "Nothing at all! Can't you see I'm fine?”
Bryan gazed into her beautiful bright eyes. His heart skipped a beat. He never knew how beautiful her eyes were without her glasses.
