Chloe ran back to her room and cried bitterly while Nicole anxiously paced back and forth.
"What's the use of crying now!”
"But what do we do now? I was genuinely set up!” Chloe’s face was full of tears as she threw the pillow i n her arms. She imagined the pillow as Anna and she wanted to rip it to shreds.
"I know you’ve been set up but your father doesn't believe that. Besides, what can we do without any evidence!"
"So I’ll just have to accept it? I refuse to let this go.”
"Even if you refuse to, you still have to! At this moment, Anna is the victim here in everyone’s eyes and you're the greatest villain!”
Chloe went mad with anger, her long hair was stuck messily onto the tears on her face. "Anna is so cruel! She actually thought of such an act to deal with me! Mommy..."
Chloe lunged toward Nicole and tugged on her as she looked at her imploringly. "Mommy, quickly think of a solution for me, I can't go down like this! Now Bryan really wants to cut off contact with me, I’m finished if i t goes on like this!" "Do you know how much effort I had to put in to get to this point with Bryan? I refuse to give up just like this! Bryan is mine, I'm the only one worthy of marrying into the Dawson family! I'm the true young lady of the Dawson family!"
Nicole looked at her daughter with grief. "Chloe, I know that you feel dissatisfied, but what can we do besides waiting for further developments given the situation?"
"Anna’s trick was really too cruel! We have nothing to back us up. We have no chance of redeeming ourselves if your father won’t stand by our side."
"Mommy... Are you saying that there's no other way?"
Chloe felt hopeless as she slowly stepped backward. "I won't... I won’t go down like this, I won’t..."
"Chloe, listen to me. Let's stay calm and monitor the situation for two days."
"I’ll properly discuss it with your father again. I've been with him for so many years, I understand his temper, he wouldn't be able to resist my sweet talk! He won't listen to anything now that he’s so furious. I'll make sure he changes how he thinks of us once his anger subsides."
Chloe hugged Nicole and tearfully said, "Mommy, you must make Daddy believe that Bryan and I are truly in love."
"Chloe, don’t worry. Anna might not be able to marry into the Dawson family given her condition. After all, your father prioritizes the future of the Hamilton family more. He’ll definitely value you if you have a better chance of marrying into the Dawsons."
"It’s all Anna's fault, I hate her so much!" Chloe gritted her teeth with a rabid look in her eyes.
"I refuse to believe that she isn't in control of this. I’ll make sure she pays for this tenfold when I catch her, I’ll make sure she’s completely finished," said Chloe viciously.
Nicole pondered for a few seconds and said, "We have t o be wary of everything, Anna is getting smarter. We can't let her make the first move again.”
Anna was only a bookworm in Daniel’s mind, making her easy to trick and coax.
He thought Anna would believe that nothing was going on between Chloe and Bryan just by saying a few honeyed words. However, he never thought that Anna would disappear after giving him a phone call.
"Dad, I didn't think that the man I love the most would be together with my dearest sister!”
"The double betrayal by my family and my lover left m e feeling so hopeless.”
Anna hung up after she finished her words. When Daniel tried calling back, she had already turned off her phone.
Daniel was scared and had people look for Anna all over the house but still could not find her.
"Nicole, how are you looking after the house! Anna left home and you didn't even realize!” Daniel's rage was directed toward Nicole once again.
"Danny, you told me not to step into Anna's room, I don't know when she left either...” Nicole's sad voice was accompanied by her tears.
"She can't see now, where could she have gone to? Quickly have people look for her!" roared Daniel furiously.
"It's my fault for being negligent, don’t be angry, Danny. I'll gather some people to look for her right away." Nicole dared not dally and hurriedly brought some servants with her to look for Anna.
