Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 9

The next day, Anna went to a hospital for LASIK surgery that corrected her myopia.

She had always wanted to do this procedure, but Nicole stopped her every time. According to her, glasses made women appear smarter and more academically profound.

Anna had always known about Nicole's scheme, but she convinced herself that appearance did not matter —it was her inner beauty that mattered.

"Jamie, you were right. The world only cares about your face."

"My dear, it's not too late to make that realization.”

On Sunday, the atmosphere at the Dawson family mansion was jolly.

Countless celebrities and renowned businessmen from all walks of life had gathered together to celebrate the respectable Grandmother Dawson's 70th birthday.

The Dawson family's ancestors were once nobles of Johannes City. Although they were not the richest in Johaness City right then, the family name was still well known and highly regarded within the city. Moreover, they had marriage relations with the

billionaire Ackman family.

The mansion's ballroom was filled with guests waiting to congratulate Grandmother Dawson.

Grandmother Dawson wore a red dress that night.

Even though she had a full head of white hair, she was still hale and hearty. Moreover, she had cared for her skin so well that almost no wrinkle could be seen on her face. She appeared just as graceful and honorable as before.

With the help of a maid, Grandmother Dawson tottered into the ballroom with a cane in her hand.

Everyone swarmed up to her to help, at the same time congratulating her.

Grandmother Dawson searched for Anna among the crowd, but could only see her elaborately dressed stepmother, Nicole, and her sister, Chloe, who was wearing an eye-catching bright red dress.

"Where's Anna? Didn’t she arrive with you?” Grandmother Dawson asked Nicole.
