Feeling resentment at having been mistreated by the woman he called "mom", Simon bit his lip, got up
from the ground, and slowly walked towards Rose.
"Mom, I'm sorry. If you are angry because I called Uncle Kim "Dad", I must tell you I didn't mean to do
it. He only asked me to call him that because if I didn't, he said he will hit me..." He pulled Rose's
sleeve with his head lowered, feeling very aggrieved.
The woman merely raised her eyebrows at the child, feeling mostly confused. She was surprised with
what she just heard. Wasn't Simon Kim's son?
Whose child was he then?
"Who is your father?" she asked.
Simon looked at her in great disbelief, his eyes wide open. How come his mother didn't remember who
his father was? Not to mention that this woman's voice was strange.
He took a step back and carefully examined the woman in front of him. At first glance, she did seem
like his mother. But now that he had carefully observed her, he found that she was indeed a little
different.
The child ran into her arms immediately, but she just frowned and pushed him to the ground once
again.
Simon was in so much pain that he gritted his teeth, but the kid was smart and vigilant. When he
hugged her again, he smelled her and figured out that she didn't smell anything like his mother. Anne's
smell was warm and pleasant, while Rose had more of a pungent smell because of all the perfume
sprayed onto her body, not even the slightest trace of his mother's warmth. This woman might look like
his mother, but she was not his mother at all!
It surprised him, but at least he had a conclusion now.
He tilted his head and looked at Rose from head to toe. 'Who is this woman? And why does she look
exactly like my mother?'
"Little guy, hey! I'm talking to you. I asked... who is your father?" Rose sounded impatient since she
didn't hear any response from the boy.
On the other hand, Simon was thinking to himself all the while. Then he said, "My father's name is
Kevin Fu!"
Rose frowned at him even harder. She stared at him with disgust and then turned her head to the side.
'So, as it turns out, this little guy is Kevin's son!'
True enough, Anne was very lucky. First, she gave birth to Eddy, and now she had Simon. And she
also had a daughter named Sally!
The Fu Family didn't really have many successors, but now they did because Anne gave birth to three
children for that family!
Thinking of this made Rose envy Anne's life.
"What about you? Who are you? " Simon frowned and asked her in a low voice.
Rose was surprised to hear the child asking her that. She didn't expect that he would find out that she
was not Anne.
But it was a great thing for her. She saw this as a window of opportunity.
A smile was suddenly drawn on her mouth. She squatted down and looked at Simon's small innocent
face, which she couldn't help but pinch, and then said with a smile, "Your name is Simon, right? Have
your mother ever told you that I'm her sister, which makes me your aunt?"
Simon stepped away from her, shaking his head. "No, Mom has never told us that we have an aunt."
It was true. Because how could Anne tell the story between her and Rose to her children?
In that case...
The smile at the corners of Rose's mouth only became brighter. She pointed at her own face and
explained, "Simon, look, my face is the same as your mother's. If I'm not your mother's sister, then how
could we look so much alike?"
Simon tilted his head and thought carefully about what she said. He turned around and looked at the
TV. "Uncle. Kim doesn't allow me to go out so I watch TV most of the time. And I heard once, while I
was watching, that there is such thing called a "plastic surgery" that can change a person's physical
appearance."
So, was this woman really his aunt? He could not believe it at all.
When Rose heard him say that, her face froze. She didn't expect for a kid like him to know so much at
his age.
However, he was still young. So would he be able to outsmart her?
At that moment, Rose tried not to think of it at all and continued, "Simon, you are still young. Your
mother may not have told you about it, but it doesn't matter. What matters is that when you see Kim
later, you can tell him that I am not your mother... that I am your aunt, Rose. Do you understand?"
Simon was a little confused, but he found himself nodding anyway.
A good child should not lie, and besides, she truly was not his own mother.
On the other side, after Rose left, Anne felt a little restless and upset.
A spontaneous visit from Rose always gave her a bad feeling, but she was relieved somehow that she
left quickly and did not return.
However, Ryan took the initiative to come to her.
When she saw him at the door, she let him in and led him upstairs into the room. There, Ryan sat on
the sofa and frowned at Anne.
She knew that Ryan would not have come here if he didn't need something, and yet he didn't speak at
once, and neither did Anne. She was a very patient person.
After they had tea, Ryan finally lost his patience. He couldn't wait any longer so, finally, he asked,
"Anne, have you seen Rose?"
She nodded, raising her eyebrows, "How did you know?"
Ryan hesitated at first, but then he looked at Anne and said, "Kim found me today and asked me if we
could have coffee in a cafe somewhere outside your community. I wanted to know what his next move,
so I had to keep the appointment.
But while we were drinking coffee, I saw Rose. She looked exactly like you now. It was hard to tell you
apart.
I even thought that she was you that's why I followed her. She asked me to take her to see Kevin, but I
didn't expect that Kim would kidnap her on the way. He mistook her for you. And now, Rose was taken
away."
Rose was still the heir of the Luo Family, so her disappearance would definitely make a splash in the
city.
At that time, he and Kim were drinking coffee at a coffee shop near Anne's house. As long as Kevin
gave an order to search around, they would definitely find traces. It was better for him to admit it than to
be exposed.
Moreover, Rose was taken away by Kim which had nothing to do with Ryan.
Anne's eyes had a hint of surprise flash through. She looked at Ryan, astounded. 'Rose was taken
away because Kim mistook her for me?'
Back then, she had been under Kim's control for two years. And now, he had taken someone again,
only this time, it was Rose.
'Ha-ha, Rose changed her face to make it look like mine, and now she has to suffer the consequences.'
However, Anne looked at Ryan up and down, frowned at him, and asked, "Why would Kim go to you?"
It would not have surprised her if Kim knew where she lived because after all, the gossip news at that
time had pointed out her residence.
However, what made her curious was... Why would Kim contact Ryan?
Looking at her, Ryan kept silent for a while until he said, "Something happened in my company and I
needed capital turnover so Kim made a deal with me. He promised that he would help me with my
problem, but only if I turn you over to him!"
Anne was surprised. She didn't expect that this was what he would tell her.
She didn't expect that Kim still had not given up and, now, he wanted to kidnap her again!
"Kim is bold and heartless, but I know that he can't do all kinds of evil. So in case Rose's identity will be
exposed, he will only let her suffer a little, but not kill her. We just pretend not to know about it."
Just now, he mentioned the problem regarding the capital turnover again. She knew that, all along,
Ryan's purpose was really to talk to her about the property.
She knew that the man in front of her was not Ryan. Thus, no matter how useful the information he told
her was, she still would not give up the only thing Ryan left her simply out of gratitude!
So, she just pretended not to mind, and eventually dismissed the topic.
Ryan, however, still could not help looking at her and think about the property even if he knew that she
had no intention to give it to him.
"Ryan, if your company is in trouble, you can go to Kevin for help," said Anne.
Ryan frowned and then nodded with a smile. There was no denying that his purpose for coming here
was just the property, so why should he go to Kevin for help?
"Well, I have something else to do. I'll go ahead," he told Anne as he stood up from the sofa.
She nodded and looked at the back of Ryan. A torn look flashed across her face.
This man clearly wasn't Ryan, yet he didn't do anything to hurt her. He even helped her escape from
being captured by Kim.
In fact, she hadn't repaid his kindness to her...
"You left your property to me long ago, so no matter what happens, I won't use it nor return it to you
again. Ryan, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I can convince Kevin to help you, but my only
reservation is this property. Since you have given it to me, you can never take it back," she said,
looking at his tall back.
Ryan's body froze. He frowned and looked back at Anne, who had a delicate face that was full of
determination.
He knew that she was very stubborn, and now that she had spoken up, he also knew that Anne would
be adamant in not giving him that property in any way!
But how could it be? All his goals were on that property. How could he waste so much of his time
without getting anything?
He shouldn't have done such a losing business!
At that moment, Ryan merely shook his head slowly as he smiled at her, turned around, and left.
Well, what else could he say?
Anne closed her eyes wearily as she watched his receding figure, thinking... If they met again, would
they be enemies or friends?
"Mom!" Eddy's voice came from behind.
Anne smiled as she looked back at him.
"Sally fell asleep. That little girl is really gluttonous and sleepy all the time, just like a cute pig." Eddy
smiled with love in his eyes. He felt proud being a big brother as he talked about Sally.
Nodding with a smile, Anne held the little boy's hand and sat on the sofa.
"Mom, remember what you just said, okay? Never tell anyone anything about my Aunt Rose." He held
his mother's hand, exhorting her worriedly.
His mother had suffered a lot in the past because of Rose, so it made them very happy now that she
was kidnapped by Kim!
And the longer she stayed in Kim's hands, the happier they were. So what reason did they have to tell
this crucial information to anyone?
Smiling from ear to ear, Anne shook her head and rubbed her son's little face. "Don't worry, I won't tell
anyone about it. They can investigate as long as they want but I'm not going to tell them anything."
She had no idea what role Ryan played in this matter, but one thing was sure. It had nothing to do with
her.
'Since Rose had her face transformed into mine, she surely helped me get away from a lot of trouble!'
she thought to herself.
Eddy nodded with satisfaction. He nestled in his mother's arms and saw that her eyes gradually
became deep.
Kim still had Simon in his hand so they didn't know how Simon was now. That child never left his
mother's side ever since he was born, until now. Anne missed her now more than ever.
'I will find a way to get Simon back!
Kim, I am telling you. If you know me well, you'll know it would be a mistake to hurt my son, Simon,' she
thought to herself with determination, squinting.
But as she lowered her head, one look at Eddy already gave her comfort. She cherished the moments
that she had with him, looking at him with all the love she had in her heart.
Kim was really tough and fierce. He came to A City unequivocally and easily kidnapped Rose. Did it
mean that his power was greater than they had imagined?
If so, they must be careful!
