Daniel was shocked to see Anna enter and quickly stood up.
"Anna, you're back."
"Dad! Don't say a thing. Now that it has come to this, I'll tell Bryan that I'm calling off the marriage. I’ll give my blessings... To Chloe and Bryan."
"Anna... This whole incident is Chloe's fault, but...
she's pregnant now..." Daniel worryingly looked at Anna.
"I know, I don’t blame anyone!"
"But I have a request, I wish to go over to the Dawson residence now and talk with Grandmother Dawson about this."
Daniel suddenly frowned and said, "What do you want to talk about?”
"I refuse to let this quietly die down! I'm the eldest sister of the Hamilton family and the future successor of the Lincoln Group, I can't throw my reputation away without a fight!" said Anna coldly.
Daniel wanted to stop her but she left before he could say a word.
He lit up another cigarette, the small flame dimmed then brightened as he huffed and puffed while he looked as if he was hesitating.
"If I let Anna say things she shouldn’t say, would it cause the Dawsons and the Hamiltons' relationship to be awkward?"
"Daniel, Anna knows where to draw the line! At a time like this, you better not interfere otherwise it’ll be your fault if anything goes wrong."
Daniel had nothing to say as he glanced at Nicole.
"Anna is a grown-up now, didn’t she say it herself that she will be Lincoln Group's successor? This is a good time to test her abilities.”
Daniel glanced at Nicole again and said, "Wouldn't you be worried if she did anything to Chloe?"
Nicole chuckled and said, "Now that Chloe has the Dawson family’s flesh and blood in her belly, Grandmother Dawson is treating Chloe like a treasure. She won’t let any harm come to her."
Daniel laid back on his chair and sighed earnestly.
"Initially Grandma Dawson liked Anna a lot, but it seems that she likes a great-grandchild even more," Daniel shook his head and sighed deeply.
"In the end, having an heir is more important."
Daniel said as he thought of himself having two daughters but no son.
He always thought of treating his son-in-law as his own son in the future, but now...
Sigh!
"I just hope Bryan can treat Chloe and the Hamilton family a little better," said Nicole.
Daniel shook his head again and said, "How much hope can you pin on a hypocritical man who isn't loyal in his relationships!"
"I'm just worried the Dawson family might be in trouble in the future, having an incident like that has caused many partners to discontinue their contracts a s they felt that Bryan’s character is bad."
Nicole quickly put in some good words, "Daniel, Bryan's true love had always been Chloe, if it wasn't because he had no choice, he wouldn't have agreed to marry Anna!"
"Now it's great that this couple finally got together, and we should bless them to get better."
Daniel pointed at Nicole and said, "I wish! I wish your daughter good luck in having a boy, otherwise, the Hamilton family would all be embarrassed."
Dawson residence.
Anna sat upright opposite Grandmother Dawson.
Anna wore an elegant white dress and her fair and beautiful face was slightly pale without makeup but it made it easy to take pity on her.
Grandmother Dawson looked at her lovingly and said," Anna, the Dawson family has wronged you, I'm so sorry..."
"Grandma, you didn't wrong me," Anna interrupted her.
Grandmother Dawson wiped her teary eyes and said, " It's because of Bryan that useless boy, how could he... How could he... But since a child has been conceived, the Dawson family could never harm a life. Do you understand my difficulties?”
"Grandma, I understand! My eyesight is gone and perhaps it will never recover, I wouldn't wish to affect Bryan’s happiness.”
either.
Just as Anna was about to leave the Dawson residence, she lightly smirked.
Chloe, since you wanted Bryan so badly, he is all yours now.
As an elder sister, I sincerely bless both of you to grow old together.
However...
Haha!
A man like Bryan couldn't be loyal to one woman until the end.
Jamie called Anna and scolded her for being dumb," How could you let them go so easily! Could you at least scold them and vent some hatred?"
"Jamie, I once heard a story about a rabbit which slowly grew into a big tiger and ate the wicked wolf."
Liam told her this story.
"What an absurd story!" shouted Jamie through the phone call.
"Jamie, real revenge isn't done by yelling and cursing but generously forgiving them although you know the ending wouldn’t be perfect. I believe I'll see the day Chloe crying with regret."
Jamie was stunned for quite some time before softly saying, "Little Annie, when did you become such a schemer?"
"That's because I have an outstanding tutor who claimed to be the king of schemes."
« H
As Anna ended the call, she suddenly felt at ease. As if the weight on her shoulders was removed.
She held her head up and faced the sun, breathed in some fresh air, and smiled magnificently.
"Just you wait for me tomorrow!"
