Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 16

In the middle of the stage.

Grandmother Dawson gazed at the guests beneath the stage with kind and tender eyes. Her face glowed with a light tinge of red.

"Thank you all for attending this old lady's birthday party!"

The guests applauded.

"In conjunction with this party, I'd like to introduce a special guest to all of you. I believe you all would have heard of him.

"You know him by his many sobriquets: the Ackman prince, the business genius, the ice-cold general...

Hehehe.”

All the guests gasped at once.

They had awaited this moment for so long-finally, the mysterious man's face was revealed for all to see.

Discussions broke out among the guests.

"The Dawson family sure is proud. I can’t believe the Ackman prince personally attended Grandmother Dawson’s birthday party!”

The ladies among the guests squealed.

"He's so handsome!"

"I really like him..."

"I hope I can have a drink with him later."

There were even women plotting to create an ' accidental’ drunken adventure with him later that night.

Meanwhile, the men were discussing possible business opportunities. "The Ackman Group is a massive international group. They’ve been mainly investing in overseas ventures these few years. I’ve heard they've made it big in other countries.”

"If their overseas ventures are so successful, why did they come back?"

"A good portion of the company is still operating from within the country after all."

"Their son came back to take over all domestic businesses. With that done, he has pretty much taken over the entire family business; he has become the true man of the Ackman household."

Having heard that, the guests all inhaled sharply again.

"The Ackman family's business can no longer be considered a simple corporate group-it was an empire.”

Anna was dumbfounded. She did not expect the gay man, who took away her first time while she was drunk, would turn out to be the infamous Liam Ackman!

Liam stood elegantly on the stage, exhibiting the grace a true nobleman should have.

He stood in silence, not uttering a word-like a king watching his kingdom from up high, waiting for his subjects to bow their heads.

His pair of deep dark eyes penetrated the crowd, brushing past even the ladies who were all busy twirling their hair in an effort to compete for his attention.

Finally, his gaze landed on Anna, who was sitting quietly in the row of seats furthest away from the stage.

She was like the silver moon hanging brightly in the sky-even amongst the countless guests, he could always spot Anna in her white dress.

Anna could feel his gaze on her. She panicked and turned away, avoiding eye contact.

"What's wrong, Anna?" Chloe stared at her curiously.

Anna quickly stood up. "Nothing."

"Anna, you think the Ackman prince is really handsome too right? He’s so hot. Too bad rumor has it that he's gay!" Chloe shook her head in disappointment.

Anna's heart stopped for a second. An image of his relentless actions in bed appeared in her mind...

'Is he really gay?
