The more Cherry thought about it, the angrier she became. The viciousness in her beautiful eyes
became increasingly obvious.
She could never accept the fact that Kevin was treating Anne better these days. Now seemed the
perfect time to teach Anne a lesson.
She took out her phone and dialed Alan's number, a vicious look appearing in her eyes.
"Miss Cherry, how kind of you to remember to call," a sarcastic voice said from the other end as soon
as the call was connected.
Cherry frowned in annoyance at Alan's tone. However, she told herself to bear it because she needed
to use him to deal with Anne.
"Alan, what are you talking about? After all is said and done, Ruth is still my friend, and it hurts me to
see her become like this." Putting on a pitiful look, Cherry acted so realistically that people who did not
know her might actually think that she was really sad.
"This is all because of Anne," the man said in an angry voice. "If she hadn't pushed my sister down the
stairs, she never would have become like this!"
On the other end of the line, Alan's eyes flashed with a vengeful fire, as if he wanted to skin Anne and
rip her to pieces.
Cherry sneered at the man's response. Because of the man's deep-seated hatred for Anne, he would
never let her go.
"I feel your anger, and it's completely understandable. Even I didn't know that Anne was such a horrible
person. Not only did she place Ruth in a miserable situation, she's also trying to take away Kevin!"
Cherry sobbed in a low voice, the feigned anguish apparent in her voice.
"What a vicious woman! She even plotted against her own cousin?"
Alan hated Anne with a bitter passion, and Cherry's words riled him up even more.
"Alan, aren't you going to take revenge for what was done to your sister? If you want, maybe I can help
you." With a proud sneer on her face, Cherry spoke out her innermost thoughts.
"As long as I can avenge my sister, I will do anything no matter what the cost. Miss Cherry, do you have
any good ideas?"
Alan looked furious, and he seethed inwardly at the thought of his poor sister, who was left in a
vegetative state because of Anne.
"Alan, I have a few ideas, but I don't know if you would dare to do any of them," Cherry said tentatively,
and the hatred in her eyes flared more intensely.
"There's nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for my sister's sake. Tell me what's on your mind, and I
will go along with your plan as long as it can help me avenge my sister!"
Alan was outraged at being looked down upon by a woman, but he needed to work with the woman so
he did not say anything.
"Alan, you are so cool being such a good brother. This is my plan..." In detailing the plan she had
prepared, she felt as if she had already triumphed as she could see the scene how Anne ended
tragically in her plan and disappeared from her life forever.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the call.
Your plan is good," Alan said eventually. "But I didn't think that you were so ruthless that you would
want to have your cousin killed. As the saying goes, 'one may know the face but not the heart.'"
His voice dripped with irony. Even he felt that Cherry's plan was too cruel.
Cherry's face turned cold after her plan was ridiculed by Alan.
"You can't even do that? If you don't have the guts, then forget it." After saying those words, she
pretended to end the call.
"Miss Cherry, you underestimated me. As long as I can avenge my sister, it would be worth it no matter
how much I have to pay." Alan's voice came through again from the other end of the call, and Cherry
felt a little smug at his response.
"Okay, then it's settled."
Cherry ended the call with a malevolent smile on her face.
Soon, she would make Anne disappear from her and Kevin's sight forever. With her out of the picture,
no one would dare to mess with her relationship with Kevin.
At lunch time, Anne went downstairs to find Cherry and Kevin already seated at the table. Earlier,
Kevin's brows furrowed in a slight frown when he saw that Anne had yet to come down.
Soon enough, she appeared in front of them. When she saw the other two people, she looked away
indifferently.
For some reason, Kevin hated it when she ignored him. Her coldness grated on his nerves.
"Why were you so late coming downstairs?" Looking at Anne sitting opposite to him, Kevin asked
lightly, but his tone carried a hint of annoyance.
"I was reading a book and lost track of the time. I'll be careful next time," Anne explained calmly in
order to prevent unnecessary trouble for herself.
Day in and day out, she stayed in the villa, and her activities were limited to reading. She felt she would
really get bored and sick if her routine went on like this.
Her words were proper, flawless, and delivered in a tone that was neither warm nor cold. Still Kevin
found himself dissatisfied with her answer.
"Let's eat," he said impatiently, picking up a dish and passing it to Cherry.
Anne looked at the action with a face that betrayed no expression. She had become used to seeing
this, so she didn't feel anything.
She silently focused on her own meal, ignoring the two of them. Every time she had dinner, she just
wanted to finish it as soon as possible and go back to her room to rest.
"Anne. It's not good for the baby's development if you stay in the room reading every day. You should
go out for a walk when you have time," Cherry said softly halfway through the meal.
Although Anne knew that her concern was just a facade, she was somewhat moved by it.
Indeed, she had been cooped up in her room every day and even hardly ever exercised. She felt
uncomfortable all over and was dying to go out to relax.
"I see. Thank you for your concern, Cherry," she said indifferently without looking at the other woman.
Kevin frowned and looked worried.
"You're pregnant, so it's best if you don't go alone. If you want to go out, I'll take you." This woman was
so frail, so the thought of her going out alone naturally worried him.
His words surprised the two women present. Cherry looked at him in surprise, dissatisfaction clear in
her eyes.
Her plan would be spoiled if Kevin went with Anne, so she would never let that happen.
"No, thanks. I'm used to being alone," Anne answered Kevin calmly after taking a minute to compose
herself.
Since she knew that the man's attitude towards her had changed because he was horny, she was
completely disappointed in him.
She would rather be alone than be accompanied by him.
Kevin's face clouded over and his black eyes were burning. Ungrateful woman! She refused him again!
Seeing his expression, Cherry was glad that things were going according to her plan.
"Kevin, don't worry. I can go with Anne. I will take good care of her," Cherry said gently, giving Kevin a
reassuring smile.
"I said, I didn't need anyone to accompany me!"
No one knew better than her what kind of person Cherry was. If she went out with her, her mood would
only worsen.
"If you want to go out, you must have someone with you, or else you should just stay in the villa and
not go anywhere."
Damn it! Didn't she know that he was doing this for her good? How dare she refused him again and
again!
Kevin's words made Anne inexplicably angry. She was not his prisoner, so why did she need to be
followed at all times?
However, she could only push down this kind of anger into the bottom of her heart. She did not dare to
show it in front of Kevin because this man might really not let her leave the villa.
"I see. Thank you, Cherry," Anne said indifferently, trying to suppress her anger.
"Anne, what are you talking about? You are pregnant now, so it's my duty to take care of you." Elated
that her plan was already half-successful, Cherry smiled more brightly.
Although he was disappointed that Anne chose Cherry, Kevin had no reason to be angry.
After lunch, Anne changed into a relatively casual dress in her room. Although she was already more
than three months along, her lower abdomen was still very flat, and on could hardly tell that she was
expecting.
Her clothes were ordinary. Although she had married Kevin, she never received anything that she
deserved.
Cherry was her complete opposite. Every time big luxury brands launched their latest clothes, Kevin
would buy them all for her.
Standing side by side, the two women seemed to have come from different worlds, because beside
Cherry who wore limited edition clothing, Anne hardly stood out.
As he stood at the foot of the stairs, it occurred to Kevin for the first time that this little woman had
never asked him for anything since she married him.
"Anne, let's go." Knowing that Kevin's eyes were on them, Cherry deliberately looped her arm around
Anne's, giving the illusion of intimacy.
She knew that Anne would shrug her off without hesitation, but that was exactly what she wanted.
As expected, as soon as she touched Anne's arm, Anne frowned and shook her off.
"We two are not that close yet, so please keep away from me." After uttering these words hostilely,
Anne took a cold glance at Cherry and walked ahead of the other woman.
Keeping up the pretense, Cherry shot a wounded look at Kevin and followed behind Anne with a
disappointed expression on her face.
