Although the AN Group was prosperous on the surface, it had, in fact, become a shell company.
The partners, who were willing to sign contracts with LF Group, only did so for Kevin's sake.
Right now, Kevin was in his office. When the door was pushed open, he gazed at Anne with a smile on
his face.
"Kim is really going crazy this time," he uttered, shaking his head helplessly.
After all his efforts, Kim would find that what he got was only a shell company. And to make it worse, he
hadn't formally become its president yet.
What was the real AN Group?
It was not only a name or a premise. The core was its successful business and the people in the
company.
And now, all these had gone to LF Group!
Now, in fact, it was no longer the AN Group that represented the fruit of two generations of the Fu
Family, but the LF Group.
So, when Kim sensed that there was something unusual with the deal, he immediately investigated.
When he confirmed his hunch, the poor man was in utter fury.
He had never expected that Kevin would do this!
Now, AN Group was turned into nothing but a shell company, and the real property had already been
transferred to the LF Group!
"Kevin, good, very good!" With a darkened face, Kim clenched his fists and jabbed the table.
After all the immense effort and price he had put into it, he had thought that he could defeat Kevin.
Never in his wildest dream did he expect that he would be treated as a fool by Kevin!
Kim had always been so successful in the underworld, and he couldn't accept the fact that he was
utterly defeated by a real businessman!
To make it worse, Kevin not only got the woman Kim loved, but he was also more capable and
competent than him.
Kim was undeniably inferior in so many aspects! How was he to make sense of this?!
He clenched his hands even more tightly as a sharp glint flashed in his dark eyes.
He would not let this pass! He had to do something!
"Peter, am I too boring?" Suddenly, Kim shifted his eyes at Peter.
The latter, who had been silent all this time, stiffened.
Obviously, Kim's words made him slightly nervous, as if something terrible was about to go down.
He had known Kim for a long time. But this time, he had no idea what Kim was up to by suddenly
asking that question.
Suddenly, Anne's face flashed in Peter's mind, sending him back to what happened in the cave. No
matter what, they had experienced a life-and-death situation together, hadn't they?
Sighing helplessly, Peter looked at Kim seriously for the first time and warned, "Kim, that's enough.
Don't even think of plotting something again. It's time to let Anne go!"
Kim's body froze. But the next second, he crossed his arms against his chest and sneered. "I've
already said that I don't love Anne anymore. She has nothing to do with me now.
Can't you see? I don't care about her anymore! It's Kevin who I'm going to teach a lesson!"
"But why are you still wasting your time with Kevin? Have you really given up on Anne? Kim, we have
known each other for so long. Don't you think I couldn't catch you when you're lying?" Peter shook his
head as he spat those words.
Meanwhile, a murderous look flashed in Kim's eyes, but instead of arguing, he just kept mum. Deep
down, he didn't know how to refute Peter.
It was true––he still loved Anne. No matter how much he tried to deny it, it seemed that he couldn't
continue fooling himself.
But after all he had done, he still couldn't get Anne to love him. She had fully given her heart to Kevin
and was even willing to risk her life for him while she turned a blind eye to what Kim had done for her. It
was not that he didn't want to get her, but he couldn't.
The feelings Kim had been forcing himself to suppress stirred again. And like a dagger cutting through
him, a tinge of pain throbbed in his chest. The next moment, her charming and angelic face radiated in
his mind. She was so beautiful that he was willing to spend his whole life to please her, just to get close
to her!
He loved Anne so much that he was willing to change for her. But too bad for him, she just couldn't
reciprocate his feelings.
"Peter, you are right. I still love Anne. But why could Kevin get her while I couldn't? Their intimacy is
suffocating me! I am not reconciled, absolutely not reconciled!
Since I am destined to suffer, I will take them both down with me," Kim vowed in an emotionless voice.
Then, he gazed at the tranquil night sky with his dark eyes which flashed a terrible light.
"This game is too boring. I'm tired too, and I don't want to continue anymore. From now on, I will get
serious and I will take Kevin's life!" After saying that, Kim grabbed his clothes hanging on the chair and
strode outside.
Meanwhile, Peter rubbed his temples out of stress. And when he heard the door slam, he couldn't help
but sigh helplessly.
In fact, he and Kim were not friends at all. The latter only liked to stay in his place because he was
once a friend of Anne. Peter knew clearly in his heart that Kim only hung out with him because he was
connected to the woman he loved.
Although Kim was undeniably devious, there was one thing that he had never lied to anyone––that
was, he loved Anne very much!
But it was a pity that Anne didn't love him.
Kim wanted to take over Kevin's company, but he did it to make Kevin suffer, not to win Anne's heart.
Yet, after hearing what he said today, Peter thought that the former might have really gotten serious this
time.
He knew that Kim was a decisive man. And since he swore to go after Kevin, Peter knew that the latter
was in real trouble this time!
Peter spent half of the night slumping on the couch, thinking of what he should do. After carefully
deliberating, he decided to phone Anne.
The latter was sleeping soundly when her phone suddenly rang in the middle of the night. Annoyed that
someone had the guts to disturb her sleep, Anne opened her eyes and furrowed her brows.
Why was it so difficult for her to have a good sleep?
"Peter, didn't you check the time before you called? For God's sake, it's three o'clock in the morning!"
Anne yelled in a helpless voice after seeing the registered caller on her screen.
Meanwhile, Peter didn't say anything on the other end of the line.
And when Anne didn't hear any response from him, she looked at her phone and found that the call
was still active.
"Peter, are you there?" she asked, slightly confused. When she didn't hear any response again, Anne
opened her mouth to utter something, but Peter spoke.
"Anne, remind Kevin to be careful." After that short warning, Peter abruptly hung up the call, leaving
Anne with her drowsiness.
With a grimace, she gazed at her phone to check the call and found that it had already ended. Then,
she felt Kevin beside her, encircling his arms around her. "Why did Peter call you this late at night?
What happened?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
Turning over to gaze at his face, Anne frowned slightly and replied, "He called to remind you to be
careful."
Upon hearing this, Kevin opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Anne, who had an
evident trace of uneasiness between her eyebrows.
They both knew that Peter was on good terms with Kim. And now that he reminded Kevin to be on the
lookout, it meant that Kim would take action soon.
Although the latter recently exerted so much of his efforts and resources, he still failed to get what he
wanted. He must be very furious to get an empty company.
And although he didn't really care for the CEO position, both Kevin and Anne knew that Kim was a
proud man and he would never allow himself to fail like this.
He would, without a doubt, vent his anger on Kevin.
Therefore, Peter's reminder was not something to be ignored.
"Kim is tired of this game and wants to deal with me in the most direct way," Kevin uttered lazily with his
eyes half-closed as if he didn't care about it at all.
But contrary to his calmness, Anne was already feeling uneasy, as evidenced by the trembling of her
eyelashes.
Ryan's death brought an incurable pain to her, and it served as a reminder of how cruel Kim was.
That man didn't abide by the law. Killing someone was so easy for him that he could do it without
batting an eye.
Was Kim planning to do the same with Kevin?
How could Anne let it happen and do nothing?
"Kevin, it's too dangerous! We have to find a way." Anne's voice was evidently full of anxiety.
With a smile at the corners of his mouth, Kevin held her closer and planted a kiss on her cheek before
saying softly, "Anne, don't think too much. I'm here with you, and I promise that I will be absolutely safe.
Kim thought he saw through everything, but in fact, he didn't realize anything."
Astonishment flashed through Anne's eyes, but Kevin soon shut his eyes and pretended to fall asleep
just to calm her down.
Indeed, he had made detailed plans and had seen through everything, but Anne was still afraid that
something else would happen that might ruin his plans!
When Anne finally decided to go back to sleep, Kevin suddenly opened his eyes. There was no trace of
nonchalance in his face. But the hardening of his jaw showcased that he was alarmed too.
'Kim couldn't stand it anymore? Is he going to make a move?' Even so, Kevin was not afraid at all.
The next morning, he went to the office like usual. Anne was restlessly worried, so she called Sam.
"Sam, if it wasn't serious, Peter wouldn't have called me at all. Now that he has reminded me, it only
meant that it was true. I'm worried that Kim is going to assassinate Kevin!"
On the other end of the line was Sam, who kept silent while listening to her frantic voice. "You are right.
I also think that Kim will make a move," he uttered seriously after a while.
"Kevin doesn't have any bodyguards with him, and he doesn't seem to take it seriously. I'm really
worried..." Anne felt helpless at this point.
However, much to her surprise, Sam blurted out a laugh. "Ha-ha! Come on, Anne. What kind of man do
you think Kevin is? Don't you know him at all? Kevin wouldn't leave you and your children. Don't worry.
Besides, don't you trust him?"
Of course, Anne believed Kevin, but she was still worried! After all, anything could happen if he
wouldn't be careful!
With a heavy sigh, Anne hung up the phone and gazed at the servants coming in and out of their
house. And with every minute she spent locked up in those walls, she became more and more anxious.
Meanwhile, Kevin sat in the conference room, looking at the shareholders and the empty seat meant
for Kim.
It seemed that the latter had indeed investigated everything and found out about the shell company.
And since he was not here today, that meant that he would not be taking that seat and the company at
all.
"It seems that your new president is not interested in this company anymore." Shaking his head, Kevin
surveyed the crowd with a faint smile. Then, with an intimidating aura emanating from him, he
continued, "If that's the case, then I can't resign as the CEO, so I will continue to stay in this position.
Does anyone have any objection?"
Everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word.
Up to now, everyone wondered what on earth happened to make Kim give up the CEO position.
