"I have never blamed you for these things. From now on, we are still best friends," Anne said with a
smile.
Emily nodded slowly. When she looked up, she saw three little figures standing at the corner, observing
them silently. Her lips curled up on their own accord.
Emily really liked Anne's kids.
"Eddy, why are you hiding there with your brother and sister? Come out. I want to see Simon," she
cooed, looking fondly at him.
Emily was really excited to meet Simon since this was her first time to see him.
Eddy slowly walked out with his brother and sister, his cheeks tinted pink. When Emily's gaze fell on
Simon, she crouched down and lightly pinched his cheek before glancing up at Anne. She realized that
Simon resembled his mother a lot.
"Simon, my name is Emily. I am you aunt," she introduced herself with a smile.
Simon nodded obediently and repeated softly, "Aunt Emily."
Emily grinned. She couldn't help but feel happy. She hugged the small figure and stretched out her arm
to caress Sally's face.
Sam who was present there as well, watched the scene with a fond look. He was mentally relieved that
the problems were resolved so harmoniously.
All of a sudden, Kevin casually said, "Emily, I know you like kids. But these three are mine and Anne's.
I think you and Sam should also start planning to have a child now if you really want one."
'Have a child?'
Suddenly, last night's event flashed in her mind. Her body stiffed and her cheeks burned red. To avoid
embarrassment, she ducked her head a little.
However Sam did not miss the way Emily's body language changed. He knew what exactly she was
thinking. He couldn't help but feel smug, smiling like a Cheshire cat.
Anne bit back a grin, and shook her head. At this time, her phone vibrated. She unlocked the device to
read the message and when she did, her face suddenly paled.
The message read: "Anne, you are the reason for my bad reputation. If I go to Hell then so will you!"
Cherry was the sender.
It did not take much time for Anne to predict what was in store for her. Cherry must have uploaded the
recording on the Internet. She handed the phone to Kevin who read the message and then started
browsing the Internet as he too had guessed the same thing, and they were right. The Internet had
exploded.
To Anne's surprise, the recording wasn't the only thing that she had uploaded. Cherry had also
uploaded pictures of her and Anne together.
Cherry had faced her own share of ups and downs in the entertainment industry. However, unlike
earlier she was less rash and more careful. Now, she planned her every move.
At that time, if Kevin hadn't been so alert and observant, the camera wouldn't have been found. But this
time, it was obvious that Anne hadn't been alert enough.
The light and happy atmosphere changed into a tense one. Sam and Emily also took out their phones
to read the news. They frowned after reading it.
Neither Anne nor Kevin had a microblog account, but Cherry had. She had posted the recording and
photos there, and there were numerous comments under them.
One commented, "Is Anne blind? Mr. Kevin is such an excellent man, a devoted husband. How could
she fall in love with another man? Who is Kim?"
Another person wrote, "I can't believe that Anne planned all this. I feel bad for Mr. Kevin. He deserves
someone better."
Another commented, "I always thought that the woman in the photos was Anne and my doubts turned
true. She is such a vile woman.
Mr. Kevin is rich and handsome. Why does he like this woman? He should divorce her."
Emily closed the application unable to read further.
Everyone looked on edge. She turned to Eddy who had become serious as well. She gently said,
"Eddy, please take Sally and Simon to another room."
Looking at his parents' grim faces, Eddy did not protest and immediately left with Sally and Simon. But
he could tell that another problem had cropped up in his parents' life.
Anne put her head in her hands. Now it will be impossible to stay out of this affair since Cherry had
uploaded the photos and the recording.
"Rose can help us!" Emily said suddenly. Rose could be a perfect alternative and the only person who
could save Anne. After all, she looked exactly like her.
"Rose is thinner than me." Anne sighed. She had become a little hopeful before realizing the difference
in their body shape.
She would have to take responsibility for what she had done.
Everyone began to think of a probable solution that could get Anne out of this.
Emily glanced at Sam who shook his head infinitesimally.
Cherry was a popular star and now that her reputation had been ruined, she rarely got invitation of any
performance. By exposing everything, she could not only save her face but also ruin Anne's reputation.
What was more was that the recording and photos exposed by Cherry were real, and Anne couldn't
refute at all.
Not only Anne but Kevin's company could also face problems due to this.
The Fu Family had been recently involved in many scandals, one after another. This had dissatisfied
the board members. If the company got involved this time then Kevin would surely be embarrassed.
"We can't lose hope or lose our minds. We should keep calm and think things out." Kevin decided to be
the voice of reason. He looked up at Anne and said softly, "Anne, don't worry. I will find a way to protect
you."
Anne was touched when she heard this. She smiled ruefully and reminded him, "Kevin, if you are a
rational person, you shouldn't help me now. Instead, you should take the opportunity to divorce me and
use this as a way to raise the stock prices of your company."
Everything had its positives and negatives. Sometimes misfortune could be blessing in disguise.
If he could make good use of this matter, the company would definitely make a big profit.
Kevin wasn't unaware of this tactics. However hearing Anne say this, he frowned, "You matter to me
more than my company."
The Fu Family was not so low as to use this opportunity for their own benefit. They weren't short of
money either. What they needed was a little happiness and peace of mind.
Anne smiled but did not say anything. Then she braced herself and read the comments. She sneered.
People could be jerks.
"Anne, ignore them. They are all poorly educated. Don't take their words seriously. We all know that
you are not what they think," Emily suggested anxiously. She tried to take her phone as she was
worried Anne wouldn't be able to handle the mean comments.
Anne frowned slightly. It was not because of Emily's comment or her attempt to take her phone away,
but something else.
In the recording, Anne had mentioned more than once that she loved a man, whose name was Kevin.
However, since Anne came back to the Fu Family, Kim had never contacted her except for leaving her
a note when they parted. Anne didn't even know where Kim was now.
Moreover, even if she wanted to find him, she didn't know from where to begin.
Kim seemed to have disappeared into thin air once again.
But how could it be?
The task of finding someone who had gone incognito might be difficult but it wouldn't be impossible.
She was determined to find and ruin him for hurting her repeatedly.
An idea was sizzling inside her mind. Everyone had a tolerance limit and once someone pushed that
limit then they would definitely try to counterattack.
"Kevin, since we can't refute the recording and photos that were exposed by Cherry, then we'd better
add fuel to the fire." Kevin looked at her inquisitively as she said this. Then she added and surprised
him even more, "How about helping her?"
Sam and Emily looked at each other in confusion. Kevin too, seemed a little taken aback. What did she
mean by this?
Kevin's face darkened. He frowned at Anne and refused without hesitation, "Anne, don't involve
yourself again. Let me solve it."
"The only way for you to solve this problem is to try your best to help me prove my innocence and
prevent me from being misunderstood by others, right?" Anne coaxed. After staying with him for so
long, she knew him well.
Kevin shook his head and replied, "As long as Kim is alive, he will appear sooner or later. But I can't let
you bear the brunt every time. If I can't even protect my own wife then what's the use of being a
powerful persona in this city?"
Yes, Kevin was overbearing, especially in the aspect of protecting his wife, children and family.
Lowering her eyes, Anne shook her head helplessly. "Everything that Cherry exposed is real. The
entertainment reporters will certainly investigate it carefully. We won't be able to deny anything. Kevin,
you are a smart man. You should do what's best for you and us."
Of course, Kevin knew that. But he would never do something at the cost of ruining Anne's reputation.
"Well, Anne, there's no need to say more about it. I've made up my mind." After saying that, Kevin left
and went upstairs.
Anne opened her mouth to call him back and dissuade him but then she thought the better of it and
sighed instead.
The other couple was lost and trying to grasp what was going on.
Unable to restrain her curiosity, Emily asked thoughtfully, "Anne, what were you talking about just
now?"
Anne massaged her forehead and said honestly, "Kim has hurt me so much that I can't let him go, so I
have decided to hunt him down and send him to prison. Otherwise, we will never be able to live
peacefully."
It was a known fact that Kim had made Anne's life a living Hell. If he didn't die, then she would never be
able to live peacefully.
As long as Kim was captured and prisoned, he wouldn't be able to create trouble for her anymore.
Then she could enjoy her beautiful life again.
Kevin might succeed in helping Anne prove her innocence, but she still had to overcome this one and
who knew when the next catastrophe would hit them? Therefore it was better to destroy the root of all
these problems.
She said with conviction, "Although my emotions show that I love him deeply but my rational brain tells
me that I can only be safe if he stays behind the bars." Lowering her gaze, she murmured, "Kim said he
loved me, but he hurt me and my child in the name of love. I can't bear this kind of love."
At this point, both Sam and Emily had understood that Anne wanted to catch Kim, but she didn't know
how to contact Kim now. So she wanted to use this opportunity to lure him out and end this for once
and for all.
However, Kevin loved her too much to let her suffer alone so he wouldn't agree to this easily.
That was the reason behind their disagreement.
Sam frowned slightly. As a man, he knew what Kevin was thinking. "Anne, he won't allow you to take
risks. Besides, no matter what happens, you can't be anxious. Just take it slow. There will surely be a
solution."
Anne countered, "Kim used Simon to lure me there. After that, Kevin made a lot of arrangements, but
he still took me away successfully and injected me with drugs. If Kim isn't caught now then he will do
the same thing again once I return to my normal life a year later. And then what? Is there any
guarantee of me reuniting with Kevin again?"
At this her listeners remained silent. Kim had a strong obsession with Anne. And he would never let her
stay with Kevin. He would definitely try every means to take her away.
Therefore, as long as Kim had the ability, he would definitely make a comeback.
