At this point, Anne didn't want to argue any more. She had nothing more to say.
She just took out her business card from her pocket and slid it on top of the tablet. "If there's any
problem, you can call me."
Back when Anne was taking care of Bob, the boy's mother had also given Anne her phone number
because she worried that something might happen to him while she was gone.
Bob's parents frowned and lowered their heads. Neither of them said anything since the beginning until
the end. It was then that Anne and Kevin decided to leave their house. They wouldn't want to intrude
any longer.
Their house were bare and almost empty. There were only a few chairs and beds, and there was no TV
set at all.
After Anne got into the car, exhaustion finally took over her face. Kevin, too, felt immensely tired.
They now headed back to A City.
As soon as they got home, Simon and Sally immediately rushed over to them. They both looked happy.
Upon looking at their children, Anne and Kevin felt warmth pour down into their hearts. They couldn't
help but hold their children close to them.
"You're finally back, mom! I miss you so much," Simon said, cheerfully. He then put his arms around
her neck and kissed her on the cheek.
Smiling, she held her son tightly. On the other hand, Sally was already acting like a spoiled child in
Kevin's arms.
Selma shook her head when she saw the scene the family was making. She couldn't help but compare
the two ungrateful brats to her Eddy. He was definitely the best among them.
Sam and Emily had also returned to their home. They were both exhausted after the long journey, so
they ate quickly and immediately went to bed.
The next morning while Kevin and Anne just had finished breakfast, Kevin's phone rang. Whenhe saw
the number flashing on the screen, a flash of solemnness fell over his eyes.
"Peter, what's the matter?" Kevin asked coldly.
Ever since Kim left A City, Kevin no longer had his assistant monitor Peter. So now, he no longer knew
what the other man was up to lately.
"I'd always thought AS Group would fall into your hands, but surprisingly, it fell into the hands of Kim
instead. Are you free, Kevin? I want you to come visit you in your office." There was something very
self-deprecating about Peter. He also sounded very casual without a trace of nervousness at all.
But when he mentioned Kim, Kevin immediately became wary.
"I'll wait for you in the office at around ten o'clock," he replied hastily.
He then hung up the phone, finally noticing that Anne had kept silent the whole time. "I should go with
you to the company," she suddenly said.
Kevin nodded in agreement. Later on, the two headed to the company together. However, they were
surprised to see a sea of entertainment reporters waiting just outside the building. The reporters
immediately started pressing in on them upon their arrivals. There were the shutters of the camera
phones clicking away while some had already started posting on the internet.
Until now, the public still considered Anne a slut married to a great man like Kevin. Men like him were
rare in this world.
Initially, nobody really knew if Kevin had already forgiven Anne. But looking at their new photos now,
the truth had finally come out. At once, Anne was pulled back into the spotlight again.
However, these boring things didn't bother Anne and Kevin at all. They had more important things to do
than get suck into all this.
Perhaps this uproar could affect the company in the long run. But at the moment, the company was
insignificant compared to their son's life.
Now that they were inside the office, the couple kept checking the time. For the first time, they felt
anxious as they waited. Every second that went by tortured them.
At ten o'clock, Peter finally pushed the door open and came in.
He didn't look at all surprised to see Anne there as well. He casually took a seat across Kevin, acting
as if this was his own office. He then turned to Kevin's assistant and said, "I'd like a cup of coffee. Two
sugars. I don't want it to be bitter."
The assistant was shocked by Peter's rudeness. The corners of his mouth twitched as he quickly shot
a glance at Kevin's direction. As soon as he saw his boss nod, he went out to prepare the coffee.
Kevin finally looked at Peter who sat in front of him. The other man still had a smile on his face as he
shrugged innocently. "Don't look at me like that. The company is gone already. There's no point crying
bitter tears right now. It still wouldn't change anything. I'm better off accepting my fate instead," he said.
This was such a rare mindset indeed!
Normally, Anne would give Peter a thumbs up to show her support, but now was not the right time for
that.
"What on earth happened, Peter? Why did you hand over AS Group to Kim?" Anne asked, puzzled.
A month ago, Peter had finally revealed his true colors. Everyone thought that he would leave with the
money, but to their surprise, he didn't give up on AS Group. But now, how could he possibly give the
company to Kim so easily?
Peter only sighed heavily. It was then that the assistant brought in the coffee. Peter graciously
accepted the cup and took a sip of the coffee. Looking up, he said, "For some reason, I suddenly find
plain black coffee more appealing now. Go and get another cup. Make sure the next one has no sugar."
Again, the assistant frowned and looked at Kevin for permission. After getting his approval, the
assistant turned around and left.
Upon noticing how the couple were staring at him, Peter merely shook his head and said, "From the
start until the end, Kim knows that I am only a mere substitute of Ryan. If he hands me over to the
police, I will surely rot in jail. And while I do love money, I don't want to live in a place like that. In the
end, I have no choice but give up the company to him."
Both Anne and Kevin nodded their heads. They had known the truth all along, but they didn't care
about it.
"Kim is on the wanted list of three cities. How dare he suddenly show up at A City and take away your
company?" Anne had always thought that Kim was a careful person. But now that he dared show up
here, he must be feeling very confident. This was enough to worry Anne and Kevin.
