Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 49

Jennifer had her gaze on Liam and her eyes flashed. She said arrogantly to the love-struck girl next to her, " My father’s company has a partnership with the Ackman Skyhigh Group. I saw him a few days ago at a business negotiation banquet."

The women around Jennifer looked at with admiration. She thought that Jennifer had frequent opportunities to meet Liam so they quickly asked her numerous questions.

"I've heard that he's gay. Is that true?"

"Is he interested in women?"

"What type of woman does he like?”

Jennifer gathered her thoughts and continued to speak haughtily, "How could that be true!? He’s so outstanding that he must be a real man who likes women."

In the banquet, Jennifer had only been able to see Liam from afar. At the time, he had barely even seen her face, let alone had the chance to get close enough t o interact with him.

Principal Mason started to speak again on the stage." Next, I'm going to answer questions regarding the prize that you're all extremely excited about."

As soon as he spoke up to this point, he paused and looked at the eager eyes staring back at him from below the stage. He smiled and said, "Those who managed to get fifth to second place will win the opportunity to work at the Ackman Skyhigh Group.”

Wow!!!

The audience was bubbling with excitement.

The Ackman Skyhigh Group!

This would be a boost to one’s career to be able to work there. Even if one worked in one of the smallest subsidiary companies of the group, it was enough to guarantee a lifetime of comfort and luxury.

Even though many students in the university were of nobility, when their families were compared to the Ackman Skyhigh Group, it was like David and Goliath.

"As for the first place prize..." Principal Mason smiled like a Cheshire cat and paused to create suspense.

Just as everyone was at the edge of their seats from the excitement and anticipation, Principal Mason said, "Your head tutor has decided that it will be kept a secret for now.”

The students let out disappointed sighs. Principal Mason had gotten them excited for nothing. However, they stopped worrying about how hard the challenge would be. Everyone was filled with a fighting spirit and were all hoping to compete for the top spots.

Nina held her face in her hands. She was extremely excited! "The Ackman Skyhigh Group! Oh, Anna, if I could get in, I wouldn’t have to work so hard and live like a miser anymore. My mother can also enjoy a good and comfortable life!”

Anna stroked Nina's head affectionately and said," You can do it. You're such a hard worker. I believe in you.”

'However, Nina, you should know that that pervert Liam's company is not a great place to work at...' thought Anna to herself.

Anna suddenly had another worry. She worried that a sweet, defenseless little lamb like Nina would be devoured by the big, bad wolf Liam Ackman!

Nina looked at Anna with bright, crystal-like eyes." Anna, you're so amazing. It's not a problem for you. However, you won't even need to go to the Ackman Group. After all, you're going to take over the Lincoln Group after you graduate."

Anna lowered her eyes. Even though she did not need t o work at the Ackman Group, getting the recognition o f passing the Ackman Group test would be the best proof of her abilities before the old shareholders of the Lincoln Group.

A flash of light suddenly lit up in Anna’s eyes. With the recognition of the Ackman Group, she would no longer need to rely on the power of the Dawson family. It would be an opportunity to ditch Bryan!

Due to that alone, she decided she needed to get first place in this assessment.

Anna raised her face towards the stage as her eyes flashed with determination. Liam finally noticed Anna. He noticed the confidence shining from her eyes. It made her entire person seem to light up and appear even more captivating.

Liam’s thin lips curved slightly. An amused expression appeared on his face. 'My little one, you’re walking straight into the trap on your own accord,' he thought.

Liam removed the smile on his face and opened his mouth to speak. His deep voice was magnetic. "That student there. You’ve been staring at me for a long time now.”

The noisy, boisterous students instantly went silent. They followed the line of Liam's gaze and looked at Anna.

"It’s Anna Hamilton!"

"Isn't it enough that she seduced that playboy, Ryan Sanchez? Does she have to seduce Mr. Ackman as well?"

three years and still don’t know what she looks like!"

"Who does she think she is? The Lincoln Group is insignificant when compared to the Ackman Skyhigh Group."

"Her future in-laws, the Dawson family, are pretty amazing. They are also the Ackman prince’s in-laws b y marriage. Hence, once Anna marries into the family, she’ll be the Ackman prince's niece-in-law."

Jennifer stared at Anna like she was looking at a fool. Mindy stood beside her and laughed happily. "What d o you think Anna is thinking? Her brain is really different from us normal people! Haha..."

"Jen, just wait and see. Anna is going to die a painful death now that she’s offended Mr. Ackman!"

Jennifer said disdainfully, "She must think that since she's pretty now, she's going to use her looks to seduce Mr. Ackman. That's why she's been staring at him so shamelessly."

Liam cocked an eyebrow and watched the crafty look i n Anna's eyes. She looked just like a little fox.

"Oh? Why is it funny?" asked Liam as he raised his voice.

Anna had expected that question so she smiled sweetly. "Mr. Ackman, you're a handsome man. There must be an uncountable number of people that stare a t you every day. Are you still uncomfortable with being looked at?"

"Oh! So it turns out that she did this to butter up to him. This scheming b*tch..."

The audience once again started to discuss the situation.

The corners of Liam's lips curved up slightly. So she thought he was handsome?

Liam stood up elegantly and walked towards Anna. Everyone present held their breath. They heard Liam utter a sentence. "The meeting is over. Everyone leave except for this student."

Liam's stately finger pointed at Anna.

Anna instantly felt that the situation had stopped being fun. She felt like she had dug herself a big hole! I n fact, it was a sinkhole!
