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

Chapter 296 Out of Her Control

Anna looked at Chloe's snow-white face and waved the bracelet on her arm.

"My bracelet is great, not only can I record sounds, it can record videos too! Let me take a look at my video just now."

Anna connected her bracelet to her phone and exclaimed, "Oh, I do have a video! See, I put the bracelet in the drawer and went back to my room, I never touched your bracelet."

Chloe’s face was as pale as a ghost, "Anna don't try and pay your tricks on me! You took the bracelet!"

"Chloe, look at yourself, you look so guilty! I have evidence to prove I didn't take your bracelet, what evidence do you have to prove you are not framing m e?"

Chloe glared at her coldly, "Anna! Don’t try and fool me with your flowery words!"

"If you don't believe me, watch the video." Anna handed her phone to Chloe.

Chloe was starting to panic, she swallowed, eyes flitting everywhere.

Anna took her phone back.

To be honest, she was lying. She didn't have the video showing her placing the bracelet back into the drawer.

But she was definitely sure Chloe was trying to frame her.

"Chloe, it's best if you can find the bracelet. Otherwise, Grandma will get very angry when she finds out you lost it."

Chloe’s breathing grew stilted, she stared at Anna in a daze. A cold sensation creeping down her spine.

"Anna, you’re so shameless. You're the one who lost the bracelet, and yet you're trying to blame me. I won’t let you off the hook so easily, you wait and see!"

"Good! We’ll wait and see!"

Anna turned and walked back to her room.

Her palms were soaked in a cold sweat.

The bracelet was a Dawson family heirloom. Now that it was lost, she shuddered to think how much trouble would ensue.

Now that Chloe was pregnant, Grandma Dawson would definitely be biased towards Chloe. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

And Daniel was always wary of Anna’s position as the successor of the Lincoln Group. He couldn't wait for Chloe to secure her position in the Dawson family, so h e would have an extra option in the future.

If this incident was reported to the elders to protect Chloe, Daniel could very possibly blame her.

Anna fell on her bed, a wave of panic rushing over her.

She wanted to enjoy the rest of her days off, but now, the issue was out of her control.

The bracelet was missing.

Since it was a show arranged by Chloe herself, finding it wouldn’t be easy.

It was most likely Chloe and her mother who took the bracelet and was planning to sell it for money.

"I have to think of a way..."

Anna looked at the pitch-dark night sky outside her window and muttered to herself.

The news that Anna lost the bracelet came to Grandma Dawson's knowledge in an incredibly short time.

"Grandma, what should we do? Anna lost the bracelet."

Chloe took the initiative, staring at Grandma Dawson with sad tears in her eyes.

Grandma Dawson stared at Anna with burning eyes, brows scrunched tightly together.

Grandma Dawson had seen and experienced many things in her long life. She wouldn't be so easily tricked by a pair of big, pitiful, teary eyes.

She knew Anna very well, since she decided to return the bracelet to its rightful owner, she wouldn't set her sights on it again.

"That jade bracelet is a Dawson family heirloom. If it's truly lost, it is indeed troublesome..."

Grandma Dawson felt a headache coming on, her hatred for Chloe growing.

"Grandma! Anna is jealous of me, she thinks the bracelet belongs to her, she wasn’t willing to give it to me... I was just taking a shower and asked her to place it in the drawer but by the time I came out, the bracelet was gone... Grandma, the bracelet is used to keep my baby safe..."

"You said Anna lost the bracelet, first, do you have any evidence? Second, did you see it? Did you find the bracelet in Anna's room?" Grandma Dawson asked, her tone low and solemn.

Chloe shook her head.

"Anna must have hidden it away somewhere!"

Grandma Dawson looked at Chloe’s red-rimmed eyes.

She would be silly if she didn't have a rough guess as t o what was going on.

But Chloe was now pregnant with the future of the Dawson family and she was going to marry Bryan soon. Chloe didn't have any power or influence to begin with.

Now she was crying and blaming Anna for losing her bracelet.

If Grandma Dawson exposed Chloe's trick, it would only make Chloe’s position in the family lower than it already was.

Chloe couldn't bear the responsibility either!

Stealing her sister's fiance, and an unplanned pregnancy already ruined her already tarnished reputation.

If she was exposed again for framing her sister as a thief, her future granddaughter-in-law would be thrown to the wolves.

For her family’s reputation, Grandma Dawson had to minimize the impact of this incident.

"It’s just an old bracelet, if it's lost, there's nothing we can do about it." Grandma Dawson sighed quietly.

Chloe pouted unhappily, silently hating the old lady for being so weak. Even after losing the family heirloom, she was still so protective of that bitch Anna.

She tried her best to look as pitiful as possible," Grandma is so kind and forgiving. I know Anna didn't lose it on purpose, but what about the baby in my belly?"

Amelia couldn’t take it anymore, she opened her mouth and said, “Grandma, that won't do. The bracelet is our family heirloom, we can't just forget about it, it needs to be found and returned to us!"

Amelia was infuriated that the bracelet was lost.

She thought Grandma would leave the bracelet to her, but after several changes in the end it was given to

Chloe.

Chloe was a nobody!

She was just using her belly as leverage, the bracelet was just given to her for a few days to protect the baby.

"Enough, Amelia." Grandma glanced at Amelia out of the corners of her eyes unhappily.

Amelia glanced at Chloe.

Of course, she knew this was most likely a trick set by Chloe, to put the blame on Anna.

And of course, Grandma Dawson wouldn’t be so stupid as to play into Chloe's hands and go along with her trick.

But the bracelet was gone and yet Chloe got off the hook so easily!

"Grandma, ever since the bracelet was lost, my stomach hasn’t been feeling very well..." Chloe looked a t Grandma Dawson pitifully.

"Fine, fine, I'll get you another piece of jade. It has the same function of protecting the baby." Grandma Dawson sighed heavily.

She was furious Chloe didn’t know how to choose her battles.

"Grandma, don't you mind at all? Such an expensive piece of jewelry, lost just like that?” Chloe asked tentatively.

"It's just a bracelet." Grandma Dawson closed her eyes as if she couldn't care less.

Chloe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, Anna and I are family after all. It wouldn’t be good if we insisted. Since Grandma has decided not to blame anyone, I will let the issue go,” Chloe answered calmly.

"Grandma!” Amelia was unhappy now, "That’s our family heirloom that has been passed down for many generations, we have to find it!”

"Enough!" Grandma Dawson shouted.

"Grandma..."

Amelia stomped her foot on the ground in anger, "The bracelet is more likely still in the Hamilton family home! If we look properly, I'm sure we can find it. If Anna didn't take it, then Chloe must have lost it herself. Or maybe she hid it..."

"Don't say nonsense like that! Anna is not a thief! Maybe she put it somewhere and forgot, or maybe someone stole it." Grandma Dawson said furtively.

Chloe noticed Grandma Dawson's sharp glance aimed at her, and her heart started racing in her chest. She lowered her eyes, faking a pained expression.

"Maybe Anna really placed it somewhere and forgot... It's my fault, I didn’t keep an eye on the bracelet. It's all my fault...”

Chloe sighed.

"That bracelet was already given to Anna by Grandma. It's reasonable if Anna doesn't want to give it to me. Besides, I’m now pregnant with Bryan's child, she might still be angry at me. Once her anger subsides, she'll return it."
