Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 421 None Of Them Were Good People

Kim's voice was neither loud nor low. It was just enough for people around him to hear him. They immediately took out their phones to record the scene.

Kevin narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.

'Damn Kim!'

"I have just taken over the AS Group, so I'm still new here. My career is currently on the rise. Of course, I wanted to please Mr. Kevin, but it turned out to have an opposite effect instead. I don't expect him to forgive me, but please don't do anything to retaliate. I just want to live peacefully in A City!" With his back on the crowd, Kim smiled at Kevin. He didn't look apologetic at all.

He then bowed to Kevin before turning to face the crowd. The smile was gone from his face. And now, he looked perfectly sad.

Kevin couldn't help but frown at this. The people around them immediately started putting away their mobile phones. But the damage was done, and the video had finally made its way into the internet.

Anne then turned to Kevin, but he shook his head. Emily was instantly up on her feet and followed them out.

"This is all my fault. I wasn't able to find Kim. If only I left earlier with Sally, this wouldn't have happened at all," Emily said. Her voice was full of guilt. "Kim's cold eyes frightened me so much. I'm so sorry. It's all my fault."

'If only I had more courage and left with Sally, this wouldn't have happened, ' Emily thought in her heart.

Anne turned around to look at her. She smiled and shook her head. "Don't beat yourself up, Emily. We can't really anticipate Kim every time he makes a move.

You've still done a good job."

Kim was the type of man who would dare to do anything. Emily had never met such a dangerous person before. Nonetheless, it was brave of her to protect Sally from him.

Emily could only smile bitterly. She had nothing more to say.

Kevin looked at Sally through the rearview mirror. Upon seeing her red and swollen eyes, he felt a painful lurch inside his heart. He could only sigh helplessly and sped up the car.

Meanwhile, at home, Selma was getting worried. As soon as Kevin and the others arrived, she immediately ran towards Sally and held her in her arms.

"Don't be afraid, Sally. Grandma is here. I'm here." Selma closed her eyes as she held her grandchild tighter. It was as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

Sally's eyes widened. At this point, she had completely forgotten everything that had just happened.

"I am really fine, Grandma." Her childish voice was still sweet and soft. The sound alone was like music to people's ears.

Selma then let go of Sally and looked at her red eyes. She frowned and turned to look at Kevin.

Kevin nodded at her, and she immediately left with Sally in her arms.

In the hall, Kevin, Anne, and Emily finally decided to sit down.

Kevin was still fuming deep inside. "What Kim did today was his retaliation after we broke the agreement last time."

Indeed, the man was so childish and mean. He only did this because he wanted to get even with Kevin and Anne after they had broken their agreement.

Frowning, Anne didn't say anything. It was true after all. As far as she knew, Kim was capable of doing such a thing.

When she turned on her phone, she wasn't at all surprised to see that the video was posted online. There were a lot of negative comments, too.

The netizens didn't understand what was going. They only heard Kim pleading softly, but they didn't know that the real victims were Kevin and Anne.

In this era of the internet, there was never a shortage of audience. People behind keyboards loved to watch and talk. Not to mention, there were the paid posters who did nothing but criticize and insult online.

"Kim's behavior has forced us into the spotlight again. Our group's stock will definitely fluctuate tomorrow!" Rubbing her forehead, Anne sighed heavily.

If that did happen tomorrow, it would be a huge loss to the group.

And if they lost their reputation and money, it would be all Kim's fault!

"Well, there's nothing we can do now. It happened, so let's not think about it too much." Kevin looked at Anne.

Anne nodded slightly before turning to Emily. The other woman sat silently beside her the whole time. "Don't let it get to you, Emily. It had happened, and we can't do anything to change the past," Anne said.

Emily sighed. Indeed, it was true. It was too late to do anything about it now.

On the other hand, Bob's parents and the police still received no news about Bob. Their child was still missing. It was only natural that they were anxious. Bob's parents had actually contacted Anne to

inform her about their plans to come to A City.

At that time, Anne and Kevin were very sure that the person behind all these were actually aiming for the two of them. So it was only natural that Bob must be in A City!

And even though they had nobody to rely on in A City, they wanted to be in the same city where Bob was!

It was because of this that Anne agreed. The house she bought was currently vacant, so she allowed Bob's parents to live in there for the meantime.

Back then in M City, Bob's mother couldn't hold back her rage and had beaten Anne. She now had a faint scar on her face because of this. But afterwards, Bob's mother couldn't help but feel guilty about it. She said, "I'm so sorry, Anne. I was being too impulsive at that time. I just lost my child, so I couldn't stop myself..."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke. Anne sighed and took out a tissue from her bag. She gave it to Bob's mother and said, "I completely understand how you're feeling. If I was in your situation, I would have gone crazy as well. Moreover, you discovered the reason why I wanted Bob. It's only reasonable for you to blame me."

Indeed, Anne could truly empathize with her. The mere thought of somebody coveting her child's heart was enough to make her feel murderous.

Bob's mother sighed as tears continued to stream down her face. She suddenly looked up at Anne and grabbed her hand. "After Bob was born, he was able to grow healthily until he was three years old. But then, he started getting sick about two years ago. He is just a child, but he has gone through a lot. As a mother, this makes me feel so sad for him. If there's any chance of saving him, we will never give up the treatment!

Anne, you are also a mother. Eddy and Bob suffer from the same disease. You should understand what I am feeling!"

Anne could only look away and sigh helplessly. Of course, she knew what the other woman was feeling. Otherwise, they wouldn't be desperately looking for a replacement for Eddy's heart.

"If God decides that Bob should pass away first, I will gladly donate his heart to keep Eddy alive!" Bob's mother said, suddenly lowering her head in grief.

Upon hearing this, Anne finally looked up at her.

'If Bob passes away first, she is willing to donate his heart to Eddy. But what if Eddy passes away first?'

Anne's thoughts began to jumble over one another. She, Kevin, and Selma would not allow anything to happen to Eddy no matter what!

And yes, they were selfish. Anne liked Bob very much, but he was insignificant compared to Eddy.

They wouldn't let God dictate what would happen to their son's life. They wanted him to live on!

Nonetheless, Anne kept all these thoughts to herself. She didn't want to argue anymore. With Bob missing, the two of them were already feeling down. She didn't want to make things worse. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

What was more, nobody knew where Kim had hidden Bob. They didn't even know if he was safe.

Bob had just gotten better. But with the recent events going on, he must be suffering from his disease once again.

After all, he was just five years old. Sick and alone, he was probably terrified out of his mind.

If that was the case, how long could he possibly go on?

Anne was having mixed feelings about all these. Meanwhile, Bob's parents were getting even more anxious.

After walking out of the district, Anne allowed herself to get lost in her own thoughts for a while. And then, she dialed Kim's number which Peter had given to her.

Just as what Peter had said that day, Kim was now the CEO of the AS Group. Meanwhile, Peter was kicked out of the company and was currently doing nothing.

Kim was not surprised at all when he received a call from Anne. When she proposed to meet up with him, he agreed without hesitation.

They were supposed to meet at a place that was safe for both sides.

In A City, there was a high-end club called Heaven on the Earth.

In there, the process of selecting employees was very strict. They only hired those who could keep a secret. If they heard anything that they shouldn't hear, these employees would just forget about it on the spot. Moreover, the club would never allow entertainment reporters inside. No matter what tricks they did, the club would make sure none of them could succeed.

This place was indeed a very safe place for them to meet. In fact, this was where Anne and Cherry met last time.

Sitting opposite Anne, Kim smiled widely at her. He tapped the table with his slender fingers and said, "I know what you want from me. It's about Bob, right?"

Anne was surprised by Kim's frankness. She wasn't expecting him to go straight to the point. Seemingly lost in thought for a while, she finally nodded her head and said, "Bob and Eddy have a

serious blood disease. They are currently very weak. He might not be able to survive if he is in shock. By kidnapping him, you might end up taking his life as well!"

Kim only sighed and took out a cigarette from his pocket. But before he could light it up, he looked directly at Anne and subconsciously put it away again.

After realizing what he just did, he took out the cigarette again and put it into his mouth.

Back when Kim still loved Anne, he didn't want to expose her to second-hand smoke. But now, he didn't care about her any more.

It was then he realized that he would never have a chance to have this woman in his life. If that was the case, why should he care about her?

Moreover, he had already accepted his fate. He was destined to be heartless. And now that he and Anne could never be together, he would gladly embrace such a lifestyle.

"Just as you said, Bob got sick after we took him away." Kim shook his head. His eyes seemed helpless.

Bob was a timid child. After he was kidnapped, he suddenly fell ill on the second day. At first. Kim didn't take it seriously, but the situation only got worse and worse as days passed. He had no choice but to send the child to the hospital.

"But of course, I can't tell you which hospital he is in right now. You just have to do whatever you can to find out which one." Kim showed off his confident smile.

Anne frowned at that. She suddenly remembered what Peter had said before. Kim had inherited his father's business. As a result, he had huge control over the gangs in the area. It wouldn't be easy to have him imprisoned.

This was why Kim was so confident in taking Bob to the hospital. He must have his own medical team on hand.

Anne had to admit that this man was getting more and more terrifying each time she got to know more about him.

"The feud between us is just for us adults. Leave the child out of it. Why do you have to drag him into our own fight?

What's more, Kevin and I need to get that child's heart. He's already so pitiful. Why would you..."

As Anne spoke, she couldn't help but lower her voice. She and Kevin also had their own agenda. They wanted Bob's life. How could she just stand there and criticize Kim? She had no right.

At least, Kim was treating Bob instead of letting him die.
