Chapter 403 Anne Is Still My Woman
Chapter 403 Anne Is Still My Woman
No, this was absolutely not happening. Kim was the one who injected her with the drug. That could only mean that he was feeling confident and wouldn't suspect her at all. What she needed to do now was to calm down.
Anne frowned. She felt Kim's body burning up when she was in his arms. Closing her eyes, she forced herself to fall asleep.
Kim was a proud man. He would never do anything to a sleeping woman.
It took a long time before Kim realized that Anne had fallen asleep in his arms. He smiled faintly as he carefully moved his body and put Anne back inside the room. As soon as that was done, he kissed her on the head, turned around, and left. He looked happy.
Upon his departure, Anne let out a sigh of relief. Any traces of confusion were gone in her eyes.
She had to admit that it had become too dangerous just now. Nonetheless, she must go ahead with her plan as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Kevin shared the same thoughts with Anne. It was too dangerous for Anne if she continued to stay with him. He must find a way to bring her back as soon as possible!
In the morning of the second day, Kevin went straight to AS Group.
Kim and Anne immediately got the news of his arrival. However, Kim only sneered and took Anne into Peter's office.
At first glance, it didn't look that much different. But there was another room at the back that was hidden from plain sight.
Anne was surprised to see this. She had been here many times before, but this was the first time she had seen the hidden room.
The corner of Kim's lips twitched up into a sneer. His eyes were cold and ruthless as he said, "Don't worry. Kevin can't hear us here."
Indeed, the room was soundproof. It made sure that no sound could ever get out.
Anne could only nod her head in response. It was then that she realized that Kim had probably hidden there as well back when she last came looking for him.
Peter seemed unprepared for Kevin's sudden arrival. His confusion was written all over his face as he asked, "Mr. Kevin! You're not looking too good. Is there anything wrong?"
Kevin only frowned and asked coldly, "Where is Anne, Peter?"
Peter raised his eyebrows, making him look even more confused. He spread out his arms helplessly. "You two really are a couple! You all came to me to find someone. But what makes you think I know where she is?"
Kevin sat across Peter with a snort. "Listen here, Peter. I wouldn't even bother coming here if I didn't have enough evidence in my hands. But I know that Anne is here. If you hand her over to me as soon as possible, I won't have to embarrass you any further. But if you don't, I will make sure that AS Group will go bankrupt!"
Indeed, it would be easy for AN Group to destroy AS Group. This was why Kevin could say that out loud.
Peter looked even more helpless than before. "To be honest, I didn't expect you to let me go at that time. When you gave me that money, I already accepted the fact that AS Group will go bankrupt soon.
But I've put too much effort into managing AS Group. I don't want it to go bankrupt just to protect a secret!
So I'll tell you the truth. Anne has been here, but she left already. I really don't know where she is now!"
Peter shook his head and stared straight at Kevin. He looked sincere.
Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly before smiling. Meanwhile, Anne felt her body stiffen.
She knew what that smile meant. That was the smile he used whenever he was really angry.
As expected, Kevin suddenly pounced on Peter before his smile could even fade away. He threw a punch across Peter's face, turning his head to the other side. The next thing Peter knew, Kevin's arm was against his neck. It all happened so fast that Peter had no time to react.
Kevin was usually a gentle and elegant man, but that didn't mean he couldn't fight.
Kim raised his eyebrows, unable to hide his surprise. He then stroked his chin and smiled. He wasn't expecting Kevin to be so skillful.
"I honestly thought that he would just be a pushover. But now that I've seen his tough side, I want to defeat him more than ever." Kim could no longer hold back his desire to conquer Kevin.
Perhaps they shouldn't have become enemies after all. But Kim knew that it was inevitable from the moment he fell in love with Anne. They had no choice now.
Only one of them could have Anne!
This was the reason why Kim was hostile towards Kevin.
Meanwhile, Peter looked shocked by Kevin's actions. He also wasn't expecting Kevin to beat him up inside his office!
"Peter, I am here because I have enough evidence. I don't want to waste my time with you, got that? So just tell me where Anne is!" His dark eyes were as menacing as an angry lion. And while he didn't have any fangs, Kevin was emitting such murderous aura that Peter grew terrified of him.
Even though he was a powerful man, Kevin usually didn't do anything out of line. People forgot how dangerous he could be. They all thought he was a docile cat. So when he finally threw away his mask and revealed his true self, the others were caught off guard.
As someone from the underworld, Kim didn't care about people's lives. He could easily kill them at will. Kevin, on the other hand, followed the law so he wouldn't kill anyone. However, that didn't mean that he wouldn't dare!
Peter turned pale and frowned at Kevin.
"Have you signed any contracts recently, Peter? You must have made a lot of money then. Have you ever had the chance to spend it? Now, you better think it over. I'll ask you this for the last time. Where is Anne?" Kevin's voice was cold as ice.
As she watched everything, Anne frowned slightly. Kevin had never shown her such an angry expression no matter what she did. It was then she realized that this was what he would look like if he really was furious.
However, it didn't make her feel terrible. In fact, she found herself feeling relieved instead.
This furious and cold man in front of her was her husband. He would only aim his tusks and claws at those who wanted to hurt him and his family. He would never use it against his own family!
Deep in her heart, she knew that Kevin was the best man in the world!
Then, a gust of cold wind blew from behind. Anne frowned as soon as she felt Kim's breath on her ear. He whispered, "Anne, Peter still proves to be useful now. We can't just standby and do nothing as Kevin beats him to death. We need to go out now and save him, okay?"
'Kim wants me to go out?' Anne thought to herself.
Kim suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. Anne had no choice but to look at his angular face, frowning as she did. She couldn't seem to get away.
Kim then slowly put his other hand on the door handle. Meanwhile, Peter had sighed helplessly and finally made up his mind. "Anne is here!"
Peter's admission surprised Kevin. What could he possibly mean by that? How could she be here if it were only the two of them inside the office? Did he mean to say she was just outside?
Before he could ask this question, Kevin heard a door opening. He automatically looked up and frowned. He never expected to see a door at the corner of Peter's office. And yet, there it was! It turned out there was a secret room after all.
It was then that Kim stepped out of the secret room with Anne in tow.
So this was what Peter meant.
Kevin frowned upon seeing how Kim and Anne's hands were interlocked.
"You've already divorced Anne, Kevin. What are you doing here?" Kim stared at Kevin. He smiled provocatively, but his eyes were hard. He then tightened his grasp around Anne's hand.
With his frown still on his face, Kevin slowly let go of Peter. He then turned to look at Anne. His eyes blank and devoid of any emotions.
They hadn't seen each other for days. During that time, he had missed her terribly. It was as if a day without her was equivalent to three years.
Anne! His precious Anne!
But now, her eyes were cold with disgust as they roamed all over his face.
Back when the power of the drug was still potent on her, she always looked at Kevin like that. She could remember it well, so she could act it out perfectly now.
Kim lowered his head and smiled, immensely satisfied.
"I'm here, Kevin. Why do you want to see me?" Anne's voice was just as cold as her eyes. She sounded impatient.
Kevin shifted his gaze to Kim, who continued to smile right back at him. He wasn't doing anything, but it was obvious that he was trying to provoke Kevin.
The woman whom Kevin loved was standing beside Kim.
Finally, Kevin gritted his teeth and slowly walked up to Anne. Before he could even get close to her, she immediately stepped back. "If you have something to say, Kevin, just say it."
This saddened Kevin. He closed his eyes momentarily before turning back to Kim. "So Kim, this is the first time we finally had the chance to talk face to face!"
Even though they already met each other before, this was the first time they had confronted each other like this.
Kim nodded his head slightly and slowly loosened his grip on Anne. But this time, he placed his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him instead.
All of a sudden, the air around them turned arctic. The temperature plummeted down fast.
Peter, who had been sitting on the chair ever since the start of the confrontation, shook his head and touched his face subconsciously. It seemed like Kevin had almost broken a few of his bones back there.
Even if this man was violent, he could have handled the problem rationally instead. Moreover, what did it have to do with him? Why did he have to get hurt?
But no matter how unconvinced he was, the punch had still landed on his face. So now, Peter just sat there with his mouth shut as he watched the whole scene unfold. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"Get your dirty hands off her!" Kevin stood there with his hands clenched tight into fists. His eyes burned murderously.
Without any signs of fear, Kim only smirked at Kevin. "You seem to have misjudged yourself, Kevin. You and Anne are already divorced. Now, she's mine. You have no right to order me to let go of my woman."
"You're wrong. Anne is still my woman!" Kevin then stepped forward. His glare grew even colder than before. "Don't you know who I am, Kim? I love her so much. How can I possibly just let her go? Although we already went to the Civil Affairs Bureau, we only went through a procedure. It was a mere formality!"
As Kim heard this, his smile vanished and was replaced with a frown. Back then, it surprised him how quickly Kevin was able to divorce Anne. He didn't expect him to bribe the people from the Civil Affairs Bureau. But apparently, Kevin had only gone through the procedure but nothing really changed.
That meant Anne and Kevin were still married!
Anne was also shocked by this revelation. She wasn't expecting that at all.
