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

Chapter 291 You Deserved It

Bruce bought himself a clean set of clothes with 3000 dollars, visited a sauna to clean himself up, then rented a room for the night.

The next morning.

He looked at the remaining 100 dollars in his pocket and started to draw out a plan. Once he decided on one, he put on his clothes and left.

He took the piece of paper that fell out of Chloe's bag yesterday, it contained the address to a villa.

It must've been left behind when she posted a parcel a t the post office.

He followed the address and found the villa.

He was stunned by the big and luxurious mansion.

"These rich buffoons sure know how to enjoy life, huh. That bitch Nicole is quite the trickster after all, managing to land a rich man like him."

Bruce pouted at the Dawson family mansion.

"She has such rich in-laws, and yet she doesn't honor her biological father. Hasn't anyone ever taught her the value of filial piety?”

Bruce wanted to rush into the villa, but the security guard stopped him.

"Who are you! This villa isn't a place someone the

likes of you can enter!"

Bruce looked down and studied himself, laughing merrily.

The guard was right, it was inappropriate of him to enter the villa like that.

The Dawson family was much better off and influential than the Hamiltons. He shouldn’t try to enter without permission.

He took out his phone, took a selfie with the Dawson family villa, and sent it to Nicole.

Nicole had a hard time sleeping at night. Images of Bruce hitting and cursing at her filled her dreams. After sending Daniel off to work with heavy bags under her eyes, she sat in her room, yawning repeatedly.

She almost fainted from shock when she saw the photo Bruce sent to her.

She hurriedly summoned Chloe into her room.

Chloe was terrified too, "What does this mean? Is he threatening us? Did he visit the Dawsons?"

"How did he find the Dawson family villa? Is he trying to kill both of us!"

"Mom, quick, ask him. How much more does he want before he’s willing to let us go!" Chloe shook her mother repeatedly.

"What else does he want? All he cares about is money!” Nicole rushed to her dressing table.

She opened her jewelry box, took out her jewelry, and caressed them lovingly. At the thought that she would have to give them up soon, her heart ached with regret.

"Are these enough? Why do I feel like he wants more than this!"

"Why did he come so fast? What should we do?" Nicole cried helplessly.

Chloe paced around in the room endlessly.

"I won't get much money from Daddy, and the Dawsons won't give me much money either! My child i s still in my belly so Grandma Dawson is always having her guard raised around me. She always says she won't mistreat me, but yet she never gave me anything valuable."

Chloe's gaze dropped on her own wrist.

The bright green jade bracelet. It was a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation i n the Dawson family, it was worth millions!

Nicole noticed her daughter's gaze and trembled, face turning pale.

"Chloe, don’t even think of selling the bracelet!"

"Then what else can we do? We don't have anything valuable to sell!" Chloe was starting to panic.

"He’s already found the Dawson family villa, I can't let the Dawsons find out my biological father is an ex-

convict!"

Nicole stood up, "Chloe, don't cry. I will go see him, ask him what it is he actually wants. If he wants revenge, h e should just take it out on me."

Chloe gazed at her mother worriedly, "Mom, you have t o be careful."

Anna had nothing to do at home. Out of boredom, she decided to help Lisa boil some soup for dinner tonight.

Chloe was acting up again, screaming, "Lisa, where is my almond milk porridge?"

"It's boiling, it's boiling," Lisa answered in a hurry.

Anna was displeased with Chloe's commanding tone, but she couldn't say anything.

She decided to let Chloe do whatever she wanted.

She would marry Bryan and move to the Dawson family villa soon. Peace and quiet would finally return to their home again.

Chloe purposely stood at the entrance to the kitchen, shielding Nicole who was rushing out of the house.

Nicole brought her jewelry along, ready to give them to Bruce as an incentive for him to finally leave them alone.

She arranged for them to meet in a secluded area.

Bruce arrived at the agreed meeting spot with a smile.

"Here I was worrying about how to find you and you turn up of your own accord." "When do you plan to let us go!" Nicole gritted her teeth in anger.

Bruce stroked his chin, smiling greedily, "You two are living the good life now, you can't just expect to leave me in the dumps?”

Nicole scoffed, "All these years, you never gave us anything. What right do you have to come and ruin our lives!"

Bruce wanted to say something but she tugged at his arm and pulled him into a quiet alleyway. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Bruce started laughing slyly.

"I haven't met you in years, and once we meet, you’re s o impatient. You're really..."

"Shut up! I don't want people to see me with the likes o f you! Talk! What on earth do you want before you're willing to let us go!"

Bruce laughed carelessly, "Don't say that, we were husband and wife after all. Why are you so cold to me the moment we meet."

"No! I was never married to you. I'm warning you, leave this city and never come back! If you do that. If you leave Johannes City and never return, name your price and I will pay it to you!" Nicole said, her finger pointing at him commandingly.

Bruce sucked in a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his chest, smiling vaguely, "Sigh, don’t they say one day of married life breeds days of enduring affections? We’ve been married for so long; our Chloe is already a grown-up."

His eyes swept across her body, "Tsk tsk, Nicole, it seems like you've been enjoying the good life these past few years. You aren’t young anymore and yet you're still as beautiful as you were when we were younger."

Nicole was infuriated by his attitude and trembled in anger. She hissed in a low voice, "Hurry up and be serious! I have a husband. If he knows you are harassing me, he will send someone to beat you up!"

Bruce scoffed, "That’s perfect! I would like to meet him too, he'll have to address me as his brother! Ha-ha...”

Bruce laughed and his gaze grew cold, saying slyly, " Right. Say, if he knows about your dirty little past, would he beat you up too?"

Nicole stopped breathing, panic flashed through her eyes, and she softened her stance, "Bruce Walker, what on earth do you want?"

"What do I want? Didn't Chloe tell you? I need money."

"Why should I give you money? Haven't I earned enough for you all those years ago?"

Nicole wouldn't give up her money without a fight, besides she hadn’t had the chance to sell the jewelry i n her hands.

"Don't talk about the past, you're my wife. Isn't it your duty to earn me money? Besides, I was in prison for so long because of you, don't you think you should pay m e some compensation?"

At the thought of the bullying he suffered in prison and seeing Nicole dressed in expensive silks, sporting diamonds on her fingers, the fury in his chest rose unbidden.

"That's all your own fault! I don't have any money so threatening me is useless," the words rushed out of her mouth before she could stop them.

"You don't have money? Nicole Baine, who are you trying to trick? You married a rich man, and you’re staying in a huge villa, and you're telling me you have no money!" Bruce raised his voice in anger.
