Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 8

As Anna stepped closer to Chloe, Chloe stumbled backward out of guilt.

Even so, Chloe retained the bright smile on her face. Like the obedient and adorable little sister she once was, Chloe gazed at her sister with loving and respectful eyes.

Anna was secretly commending her in her heart. She had never realized how amazing Chloe’s acting skills were!

"You should know where I was," Anna replied coldly. A hint of resentment could be felt in her tone.

Chloe's expression finally changed, but she quickly put on another smile. "Hmm? How would I know where you were, Anna? I didn’t see you last night."

"Haha..."

Anna let out a dry laugh. "Chloe, Lincoln Group also has investments in movie production companies.

Maybe you should interview for a role there. I think the career suits you perfectly."

Finally, the smile on Chloe's face was showing signs o f fracture. "Anna, what are you saying? I don’t understand."

“Out of my way!" Anna yelled.

Chloe’s chest tightened. Hesitantly, she took two steps backward, clearing the way.

Anna returned to her room and slammed the door behind her.

As she leaned against her bedroom door, she finally lost her composure. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Behind the door, she could hear Chloe complaining," Daddy, why is Anna so mean to me? Did I do something wrong?

"She said... She said I belong in the entertainment industry. Does she mean I'm nothing but an actor?”

Daniel quickly consoled her. "Oh, Chloe, your sister doesn't mean that. She's just joking."

Following that was Nicole's gentle advice toward Chloe. "Chloe, Anna is the birth daughter of this household. No matter what she does, you'll have to endure it. You can’t fight with your sister, got it? Anna Hamilton is not someone you should cross.

"Chloe, if there’s anyone to blame for this, it has to be me... Both of us have it so rough..."

Nicole wept as she continued. Chloe, too, started to sniffle. They acted as if Anna had been bullying them all this while.

Daniel sighed. "Anna is just like her mother, terribly arrogant! Nicole, you've been a part of this family for years. The things you've done for us have not gone unnoticed. And you, Chloe, you've been here since you were five-years-old. I've always seen you as my own

daughter."

Daniel proceeded to knock on Anna's door. He groaned and scolded, "Anna, I will not allow you to treat your sister like this! She's just worried about you! All these years, we’ve been dealing with your temper. It's time you learn what's right and wrong!”

Anna did not want to hear a word they say anymore. She sprinted away from the door.

Just then, she saw the bouquet of blood-red roses placed above her bed. A dull pain filled her chest.

She grabbed the vase, opened the window, and threw them out.

Crash! The vase shattered on the first floor, along with the love she felt for Bryan that whole year. Everything had turned to dust.

Anna rushed into her bathroom and showered herself with cold water. She needed to calm down.

She stood in the mirror, gazing at the pale face hidden behind her large glasses. Her chest felt heavy as if it was filled with cotton. The feeling was suffocating.
