Chapter 479 The Grievance
Chapter 479 The Grievance
Those comments made Anna angry.
This video circulated on the Internet for a while before, but it was soon suppressed. Anna didn't expect Bryan to dare to do it again, and his face was pixelated in this video.
Bryan wanted to destroy Liam!
He exploited public opinion for his own ends.
Didn't he realize he was playing with fire?
For the sake of Grandmother Dawson, Liam never dealt with him.
Seeing these comments, Anna was ready to explode. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
And panic seized her. 'Will Liam be implicated?
Bryan's a damn nuisance!
What does he get paid for this?' Anna thought.
Then more news broke out.
The CEO of Ackman Skyhigh Group was said to spend thousands of dollars to buy a bridal boutique for Ms. Hamilton.
Even the picture of Anna staying over at Liam's house was revealed.
At the bottom of the picture was a close-up of Anna's face, her bashful appearance was clearly captured.
The tide of public opinion had set in Bryan's favor. Speculation was rife that Bryan was the victim. It was Anna who fooled and cuckolded him...
Anna furrowed her brows, and her mind was in a whirl. She hastily called Liam.
Liam answered it immediately, "You figured it out?"
"What?"
Anna did a double-take, and said anxiously, "Did you see the news?"
Liam was silent for a few seconds, "Yes, I saw it."
"Will that affect you?"
Liam paused and said softly, "Yeah."
Anna was more worried than ever, "Jeez, I knew it would affect you! What are you going to do now?"
"You'd better start worrying about yourself. It's said that you seduced... me."
Somehow Anna thought Liam's tone was a little playful, and she got annoyed.
"It was you who took advantage of me when I was drunk. Don't expect me to take the rap for you! You'd better solve it as soon as possible or..."
Hearing Anna's threat, Liam's gloomy face changed, "0 r what?"
"Or your boy will go hungry," Anna said shortly.
"Wow, are you pouting with me?"
Anna was stunned and thought, What a sly one! He's really good at changing the subjects!
Pouting?
Am I pouting with him?
God! What have I done?'
Anna's face was burning. She rolled her eyes upwards and hung up.
Liam was stunned for a while and shook his head reluctantly. 'This little one seems to need me.'
Good.' Liam thought.
He was so happy that Anna began to depend on him.
Anna's concern made his mood gradually lightened.
"There appears an endless stream of news, sir. It seems that they've hired a fair number of paid posters. It's time for a press conference." James said.
The tenderness faded from Liam's face and was replaced by a severe and forbidding look.
"What a brave soul! Bryan is signing his own death warrant by doing so."
"Sir, Miss. Anna..."
Liam's eyes dulled, "You must keep her safe."
"Yes, sir."
James looked anxiously at Liam and Winnie in the ward, bowed his head, and turned away.
At last, Grandmother Dawson sobered and asked Liam to come to her.
"Auntie."
Liam was relieved to see that Grandmother Dawson looked much better.
Grandmother Dawson glanced at Liam and looked away.
"The video. What about it? The bruise on Bryan's face was the gift from you?"
Liam admitted it indifferently.
Grandmother Dawson said crossly, "Didn't you promise me you wouldn't do anything to Bryan? How could you go back on your word?"
"He went against the principle first!" Liam snapped.
"Your identity is special, Liam. Such big news will certainly affect you. What are you going to do about it? H
"Auntie, you're worried about what I'll do to the culprit, right?" Liam saw through Grandmother Dawson's mind.
"He wants to kill me, auntie! Should I act as if nothing had happened?"
"Please, Liam. Let him off, I entreat you." Grandmother Dawson said anxiously.
"Auntie, you didn't suffer from senile dementia. You're shamming, right?"
Grandmother Dawson froze, "What are you talking about?"
"Come on, auntie. I knew it when you deliberately mentioned Winnie in front of Anna!"
"No one has mentioned Winnie in recent years. It's a matter of family reputation, so it's forbidden. But you brought it up in front of Anna, so I got suspicious."
Grandmother Dawson said no more.
Liam also didn't want to say more.
After all, Grandmother Dawson was an esteemed aunt t o him. Liam could understand that she had some ulterior motive to protect her family. But she couldn't g o too far!
"What do you want me to do, auntie?"
"Make a statement that Anna deliberately sowed discord between you and Bryan to revenge Bryan. You hit Bryan because you mistakenly believed Anna's words. You thought Bryan annoyed me and caused me to be hospitalized."
"It'll minimize the impact on you and Bryan." Grandmother Dawson said.
"Wow! What a good plan! Pin the blame on a woman."
Liam's eyes flashed with anger, but his face showed nothing of his emotion.
"You think this is gonna work, auntie?"
"At least it can minimize the impact. There’s no other way."
Liam put on a false smile and said coldly, "Auntie, Anna's now my wife. Ryan had openly done that dirty thing to his aunt. As his uncle, it's reasonable for me t o teach him a lesson!"
Grandmother Dawson raised her voice, "No matter what he did that day, the reputation of Dawson family and Ackman family must not be tarnished by such things! She's a woman, so pinning the blame on her won't make any difference."
"You also said she's your wife. Then, she should take the blame for you."
"A lot of people are waiting to make fun of you! Those taunts can ruin your bright future, my boy. After all, Bryan is your nephew. If you go on like this, others will only laugh at you and Bryan."
"Do not give publicity to family scandals, you know it."
"Auntie, you should tell Bryan this, not me. He always gets on his own way."
"I don't want you and Bryan to be at odds over a woman, Liam."
"Bryan's a little imprudent and tactless. But you're a reasonable and understanding boy. So I can only talk t
o you..."
"I don't have the heart to hurt Anna, Liam. But you know, she's just a woman. She hasn't taken over the Lincoln Group, it won't affect her."
Liam's eyes were as hard as flint and his face was entirely devoid of expression.
"She's my wife and I won't let her suffer any grievance, " Liam said frostily.
