Kevin clasped Anne's hand and nodded in agreement.
Kim was a smart man. He was aware of Anne's weakness, but they would never let him succeed this
time.
Anne was ready to sacrifice her life to protect her family. She would never let Kim anywhere near them.
"Anne, I want you to stop worrying about Kim. I have the ability to protect everyone, trust me. Don't
think about anything and just stay with me. Kim is trying to scare you. You have to be calm now. Do you
understand?" Kevin interlaced his fingers with Anne's and stared into her eyes. "We need you. Not only
me but our three children as well. So don't think about anything else!"
Anne nodded and threw herself into Kevin's arms. The Fu Family was where she belonged. She would
never leave her husband and children.
'Kim, you can't tear us apart!' Anne thought.
In the meantime, the wind was howling on the rooftop.
Kim, dressed in a black windbreaker, almost blended with the darkness. An evil grin crept onto his face
as he looked at the moon.
Darkness was the color of the night; there shouldn't be even a spark of light. He believed that the
existence of the moon was redundant.
Kim's face turned cold as he heard the thumping of footsteps. He involuntarily grabbed the gun on his
waist.
"Boss." Kim's body visibly relaxed as he heard the familiar voice.
He unclasped his fingers from the gun and turned to look back. Brandon was standing with an evil grin
on his face.
He was no longer the gentle boy he used to be.
"Boss, Eliza is crazy about me. She doesn't even listen to her father anymore," said the boy, puffing his
chest in pride.
Eliza was the daughter of the superior mayor. Brandon couldn't help himself from gloating about his
achievement. After all, he had made a girl from an eminent family fall for him.
Kim nodded and patted Brandon's shoulder. "Good. But you can't afford to be careless."
"Boss, don't worry. I will never ruin your plans." Brandon smiled at Kim. His eyes shone with admiration
for his boss.
Kim nodded. All his plans seemed to work. But he had a sense of foreboding that something would go
wrong and his plan would get ruined at the last minute.
'Anne, do you want to risk the lives of the people around you by staying with Kevin? Don't you care
about your loved ones? You belong here, with me, ' thought Kim.
"Let us keep an eye on the Fu Family!" he ordered Brandon.
"Yes, Boss. I will take care of everything." Brandon nodded earnestly.
Kim turned to leave. However, after a few steps, he stopped and turned to look at Brandon. "Peter has
been investigating Colin's whereabouts, hasn't he?
Give Colin back to them."
Kim didn't care whether Colin was alive or not as long as he got what he wanted.
The man wasn't of any worth to him.
"Okay, Boss." Brandon bowed respectfully.
Once sure that he had given all the orders, Kim left. Although Brandon was a young man, Kim had faith
in him. He knew that the boy would execute all his plans.
The next morning, Peter called Kevin.
The man was at home with Anne.
"Kevin, I know where Colin is," Peter said in a serious tone, "But I'm afraid that Kim's men will be
guarding the place. It is risky for me to go on my own. Bring some bodyguards or police with you. We
will go there together to save Colin."
"Okay!" Kevin nodded excitedly, "I'll bring someone right away!"
Anne stood up with Kevin to follow him. The man hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Anne, inform
everyone that I will be bringing Colin back."
A frown lined Anne's forehead. She didn't have the strength to face Colin because she was the reason
for all his problems. She was afraid that the man wouldn't want to see her either. Therefore, Anne
decided to stay at home.
Kevin heaved a sigh of relief and left.
Anne slumped on the sofa and closed her eyes. Tears trickled down her cheeks when she opened
them again.
'Isn't this what you wanted, Kim? I am in pain right now. Are you happy?
I don't have the strength to face Colin anymore. You must be ecstatic right now, ' Anne thought.
She took a deep breath to compose herself before making the calls. Anne explained the situation to
everyone she was close to.
Many people cared about Anne. They didn't care about Kim and were willing to take the risk to save
her.
But she cared for them and couldn't afford to lose her loved ones anymore.
Rose and Mark were finally happy after years of struggle. Moreover, Emily had just given birth to a
baby. Anne couldn't watch them get into trouble because of her.
Therefore, she had to explain the magnitude of the problem to make sure they were cautious at all
times.
Ella had overheard the conversation between Anne and Kevin. The man was in the hall when he got
the call, so Ella knew what was going on. She sat on the stairs on the second floor and stared at the
wall in a daze.
Her heart began racing in her chest when she heard that Kevin was going to see her father.
Her face broke into an ecstatic grin. Since Anne was busy, she turned around and went back to her
room, closing the door behind her. Ella threw herself on the bed and began rolling happily.
She clutched her phone and placed it close to her heart. 'Dad, are you going to come to see me? Do
you know how much I miss you?
It doesn't matter. Anyway, you are going to come back soon. I will tell how much I have missed you, '
thought Ella.
Anne continued to call everyone near and dear, oblivious to the fact that Ella had overheard their
conversation. She patiently explained the situation to everyone. People were scared at first, but they
eventually understood the problem.
Everyone knew that Kim was a dangerous man who would go to any lengths to have what he wanted.
Therefore, they had to be more vigilant from now on.
Moreover, no one seemed to have any problem with Anne. They only hated Kim because everyone
knew that he was a crazy man.
