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

Chapter 103 A Paranormal Event

Charles's flood of prizes finally stopped.

Even so, their enthusiasm still lingered.

The students started chanting for Charles again.

[Geeky Anna hasn’t got enough! Don't stop yet!]

[Keep up the prizes and you'll win over the princess!]

[More! More!]

[Perhaps he really did go broke! He did just give out a few hundred thousands!]

[This is the first time I've seen anyone give out this much in cash prizes.]

[No matter how rich he is, there must still be a limit. I guess that's all the prizes we'll have today.]

Anna stared at Charles’s profile. Suspicion filled her heart.

His stubborn and overbearing personality reminded her of someone...

'It can’t be! No, it can't be!

'Why would he be in my university's group chat!

‘But if it isn't him... who else can it be?'

Liam's office. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He was in a meeting with James and some executives of his company. They were reporting to him the company’s performance for the month.

Meanwhile, Liam was busy playing with his phone under the table, completely absorbed by it.

He sent a few more messages to Anna, but none of them could go through.

At the bottom of his screen, it was written, 'You can’t reply to this conversation.'

'She blocked me!'

Liam was furious. His expression turned as dark as ink.

James and the executives were instantly staggered. They thought that Liam was unsatisfied with the company's performance in that quarter.

Liam tried to message her again and again, but the result was always the same.

'That stupid woman! How dare she block me! She's dead meat!'

Liam continued to host lucky draws in the university group chat. When he saw the messages of the students cheering for their 'union', Liam's stern expression melted away and was replaced with a blooming faint smile.

Seeing this, James and the company executives let out a sigh of relief. They wiped away the cold sweat o

n their foreheads.

'You all sure are enthusiastic. Here, have another round.' Liam prepared an incredibly huge prize pool, but just as he was about to host the lucky draw, a notification popped up. It seemed like Liam had exceeded his limit for the day.

Liam's expression turned dark again.

''James!”

James quivered. He sat up straight, kept silent as a mouse, and browsed through the contents of the report to check if there was anything that might have evoked this man’s fury.

"Mr. Ackman?"

James and the company executives all had troubled expressions on their faces. They could not find any faults in the report that could have caused Liam's inkblack expression.

"Lail in someone from the IT department!" Liam commanded coldly.

James felt a shiver down his spine. He pitied the people in the IT department. He had no idea what they could have done to arouse Mr. Ackman’s rage.

After a short while, James returned with a man from the IT department. At one glance, one could clearly tell that he was a computer nerd.

Liam handed his phone to the technician. “Give me access to this app's back-end.”

'The app's back-end?’

James furrowed his brows. 'When did Mr. Ackman start using that app?’

"I'll give you one minute to disable the lucky draw limit."

The technician wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. He glanced at James, but James only replied with a sympathetic gaze, hinting at him to find a way out himself.

The technician scratched his head and murmured, "M r. Ackman... perhaps it’ll be better if we call the developer's headquarters.”

Liam's eyes twinkled. He turned to James.

"I’ll call them right now!” James rushed out to make the call.

After a short while, the limit in his lucky draw app was removed. He could now give out unlimited amounts of cash.

Liam proudly sent out a million-dollar lucky draw into the group chat. Everyone was completely flabbergasted.

The noisy group suddenly turned silent.

Liam checked the statistics of his lucky draws and saw that Anna was still the grand winner. His lips curled up into a satisfied grin.

"A glorious win for my little lady." Liam thought that they really were fated to be together.

Just then, the students in the chat finally snapped out of their daze.

[Is there something wrong with the app today?]

[How is it possible to create such a huge prize pool!]

[God! Let me count how many zeros there are.]

[I'm gonna faint. Don't message me anymore. I've already drowned in a sea of lucky draws...]

[Is this money for an engagement ring? Anna, quick, say you do!]

[Anna, Prince Charles is proposing to you!]

[O'mighty Charles, I'd like to bear your child...] 4

Liam smirked as he waited for Anna's reply. However, his little woman seemed to be made of stone. Even after so long, she never said a word.

The smile on his face slowly faded away. Liam wondered if the little lady was too busy acting all intimate with Bryan to care about his messages.

Flames of fury burnt within his chest. His expression was as dark as the gloomy skies outside. It seemed like a storm was coming.

James and the technician were too afraid to even breathe. Perspiration filled their forehead.

Liam threw his phone to the technician. "Hack into Messenger and make it so that she can never block m

e again!”

The technician quickly grabbed his laptop and hooked up Liam’s phone to his computer. He typed noisily on the keyboard.

A short while later, a victorious smile appeared on the technician's face. He respectfully returned Liam’s phone to him.

Liam saw that he could send messages to Anna again. His lips curved upward. "Not bad. Good job.”

The technician beamed cheerfully, thinking that he would soon be promoted, receive a pay raise, and turn into a rich, tall, and handsome man.

Anna lay on her bed, staring wide-eyed at the huge prize pool of the lucky draw. Her mind was completely blank.

Just then, her phone started buzzing non-stop again.

She quickly tapped into the noisy chat.

[Little lady, you're dead meat!]

[Little lady, you're dead meat!]

Those words filled her entire screen.

'Charles!

'Didn’t I block him?

'How did he manage to reach her again?' She frantically blocked him again, but for some reason, she could not!

Anna frowned. Only four words appeared in her mind...

'It’s a paranormal event!’

The university group chat was still as active as ever. Everyone was envious that Anna had someone willing to spend millions for her.

Jennifer turned green with jealousy. She started ganging up with Mindy in the group chat.

[Do you guys think Anna is toying with Charles's heart?]

[I heard that Geeky Anna is no longer maidenly as she was before. Apparently, she's been hooking up with handsome men from all over ever since she had plastic surgery done.]

[Recently, Geeky Anna hasn't been to class at all. No one knows what she's up to]

[Maybe she ghosted some guy she hooked up with and now she doesn’t even dare to come to school. Naha...]

[Ah, our poor Geeky Anna, being hunted down by angry men...]

Just then, a student spoke up. [Stay calm and work on yourself.]

Then, another student joined in. [Charles, hang in there. You can be victorious.]

Anna was enraged by Jennifer’s deliberate actions to stir up chaos. Even so, she was supposed to be blind at that moment. Taking part in those lucky draws was already exposing herself. She could not afford to talk i n the group too.

Suddenly, someone asked, [Are there any more lucky draws? I came in late, so I didn’t get any.]

Everyone’s attention shifted back onto the lucky draws. They were all waiting in anticipation for the wealthy Charles to give out more money.

After a few minutes of waiting, Charles finally replied. [I'll host it if Little Annie tells me to.]

Hearing that, the entire group chat blew up. Everyone was calling out for Anna. Her phone could not stop buzzing. Terrified, Anna hurriedly switched off her phone.
