Chapter 717 The Only Blood Relative
Liam leaned forward slightly, and his handsome face suddenly magnified. His powerful momentum forced Anna's back against the cold wall.
"It's up to me."
Beatrice watched Liam making fun of Anna while ignoring her. She bit her teeth hard and stared at Anna with a sinister look.
But when she started talking, she smiled and said in a very gentle voice, "Mr. Ackman, you really are a man o f your own way. But I'm surprised that Ms. Hamilton i s your ex-wife. No wonder she looks familiar? When your divorce was on the news, I looked at it in disbelief."
Liam gave Beatrice an indifferent look, but looked at Anna in silence.
Anna's soft eyes were full of coolness and defiance.
Beatrice didn't like the sight of the two people standing so close together, and she felt unhappy as if she was having some trouble breathing.
"It really seems unnecessary for me to stand here, but I would like to ask Mr. Ackman a question before I go."
Liam looked slightly sideways.
He said nothing, but his stern expression was apparent enough.
Beatrice took the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Ackman, did you really remarry after your divorce from Ms.
Hamilton? We never saw the rumored wife."
Liam's dark eyes had an unpleasant look when Beatrice asked about his past.
"I'm going to remarry Anna."
Instead of answering the question directly, he just said what he thought.
Beatrice gave Anna a jealous look. She looked at the imposing man and smiled sadly, "Congratulations to M r. Ackman and Ms. Hamilton. A lot of women must be sad about this."
Anna sighed a little when she heard what Beatrice had said. She looked at Beatrice, who was about to depart, and explained aloud, "There is no such thing. I haven't even said yes yet."
Beatrice turned away and left without looking back.
Anna looked over, with a little anger in her pure eyes." There is no such thing. Please keep your mouth shut i n the future."
"I told you I meant it." Liam put one hand in his trouser pocket and smiled slowly, and his eyes shone with confidence.
"Keep dreaming." Anna frowned and quickly lifted her leg and kicked Liam in the direction of some important part of his body.
There was a flash of surprise in Liam's deep eyes, but he dodged it nimbly.
Anna smiled defiantly and mischievously seeing that she failed in attacking Liam. "If you don't keep your mouth shut, I will still give you a lesson."
While Liam's mind wandered, Anna giggled and ran away.
She couldn't be taken back by Liam.
Otherwise, she would be dead meat!
Anna hurried back to the box.
Ethan saw Anna's cheeks were a little red and she was breathing heavily. He stood up and greeted her," What's the matter with you?" NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Seeing Liam's seat was also empty, Ethan frowned tightly.
Anna quickly smiled gently at Ethan and explained," Nothing. I'm afraid you have waited for so long a time."
"Did he give you a hard time? Ethan grabbed Anna's shoulders with his hands, and there was a little worry on his smiling face.
Anna gave a nonchalant shrug and said, "No."
Beatrice saw Anna smiling and stood up with a glass i n her hand in a huff, "Ms. Hamilton, I'm so happy to have dinner with you today. I've had a drink with
everyone but you."
"Why don't we have a drink?" Anna smiled broadly and decorously.
"Why not drink three instead of one? When we see each other again, we're all friends." Beatrice, pretending to be friendly, walked over to Anna and insisted on pouring her wine.
Anna, with a slight smile on her face, took the wine bottle from Beatrice's hand and tried to pour the wine by herself.
But in her heart, she was so angry that she wanted to hit Beatrice.
Beatrice set her up when she knew she had been so drunk that she even vomited.
'Huh, trying to get me drunk?' She stole a glance at Ethan.
Ethan smiled smoothly and immediately understood Anna's meaning with great wisdom, "I'll have the drinks for Anna."
"How could that be?"
"Why not? Anna is my wife. I'll help her drink some, and it can show that we want to make friends with you." His soft tone was tinged with strength.
"Then you'll have a few more drinks, and I'll do the same."
Beatrice crustily drank three glasses of wine with
Ethan first, and then reluctantly drank three more by courtesy of Ethan.
Beatrice finally put down her glass unwillingly.
She was about to get drunk.
She was just mad at Liam for liking Anna and wanted t o trick Anna.
She really deserved it.
Damn it. She was always smart. How could she be so silly today?
Maybe Anna was lucky.
She was guarded by Liam and loved by Ethan.
Beatrice clasped her hands and her long fingertips sank into herself, and the pain was clear in her mind.
She said unhappily, "You are a loving couple. I don't even have someone to hold a drink for me."
"Miss Zouch, you are kidding. You'll also meet someone who will hold a drink for you." Anna looked a t the curious people and gave an official reply.
"Ha-ha, thank you for your kind words." Beatrice took a look at Liam sitting next to Anna and reluctantly walked slowly back to her seat.
Anna was relieved.
They had finally won over the woman by drinking. She and Ethan would be in trouble if they drank any more wine.
After the glee feast, Anna got a phone call from the prison.
"Ms. Hamilton, your father, Daniel Hamilton, hasn't been well lately, and he's been wanting to see you a lot lately. Why don't you visit him when you're free?"
Anna held the phone blankly and her vision was a little blurred.
It was as if a yellow leaf had suddenly fallen on the sparkling water of a pool, disturbing its calmness.
She hadn't visited Daniel in prison for a long time. She only visited him once since she had been back to Johannes City.
In her heart, she couldn't forgive Daniel for the indirect death of her mother.
But she was still sad to hear that Daniel hadn't been well recently.
Finally, she decided to visit Daniel in prison.
He was her father after all.
He was also the only blood relative in the world, besides Gemma.
