Chapter 440 The Disgusting Man
"Try to prove it then!" Kevin echoed with a smirk as he crossed his legs. It was so obvious that he wasn't taking the situation seriously.
Kim loathed the casual attitude of the man before him.
Suddenly, he released a domineering aura around him. His eyes looked at Kevin from head to toe. Then, he turned around and left.
He was not a contentious type. He would prove himself using his abilities.
While watching Kim leave, Kevin curled his lips into a smile. 'It's time to know which one of us is more capable!
Let's test each other to the limit!'
Then, he also got to his feet and was about to leave. The shareholders also stood up with eyes filled with guilt. Although some of them wanted to tell him something, they could only sigh helplessly.
When he saw this, Kevin let out a deep breath. "It looks like you want to tell me something but are held back by some unknown reason. Fine. Let me tell you something."
Everyone else exchanged confused glances. When they noticed that Kevin sat again, they also took their seats.
"Mr. Collins, you've been a part of this company for so many years. I once wanted to buy your shares. Unfortunately, you told me in a firm tone that you would never sell them!
However, you let Kim buy them!" While shaking his head, Kim glared at one of the shareholders.
The man grew anxious. He met Kevin's glare and let out a helpless sigh.
A chuckle escaped Kevin's mouth. "I've dealt with Cory for a long time now. Naturally, I know him better than you. I already have an idea of how he plans to deal with you guys. When he contacted you, I immediately knew about it. I thought that some of you would ask me for help or advice. Unfortunately, it seems like I overestimated myself."
Everyone felt embarrassed and lowered their heads.
"Some of you did it for money while the others did it to ensure your family's safety. However, I have little regard for your reason. In the end, you still double-crossed me. More precisely, all of you betrayed the company!
I understand that Cory's promise is very tempting. Nonetheless, I know you already have an idea what will happen once he controls the company." Kevin tapped his finger on the table. His eyes became deeper and more focused.
"It took two generations of our Fu Family to establish the AN Group. There's no way I will hand it to Kim. No matter what, I will defeat him. For the rest of you, reflect on your disgraceful actions.
Everyone will be selfish in front of calamities. That's why I won't blame any of you. However, do you still think you deserve to be shareholders of the company you betrayed?" After his speech, Kevin turned around and walked away without looking back.
'I don't care if those shareholders withdrew their investment. I don't care if the worst comes to the worst.
In hindsight, I might be crazy.
However, none of them matters. Those people aren't needed in the group. I will maintain the perseverance of our Fu Family!'
Meanwhile, everyone in the meeting room let out a helpless sigh and awkwardly looked at each other.
Despite all the glory they got from the group, they all opted for betrayal. They reflected on why they did it. One reason they had was that Cory forced them. Another was the benefits he offered them.
As such, they listened to Kevin and thought about it more carefully.
When Kevin arrived home, he saw Anne sitting on the sofa. She got to her feet and asked in a worried tone, "What's going on with the group?"
With a chuckle, he pulled her into his embrace.
As they saw the couple, the servants walked away to provide privacy. With her face flushed red, Anne playfully hit Kevin's arm. "Don't act like that in front of the servants."
"Why shouldn't I? You're my lovable wife after all." A sweet smile flashed across his lips.
In front of that reason, Anne felt helpless and dropped the argument. Then, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, what happened?"
"It seems successful. Kim made a bet against me. Everything is going according to plan," Kevin answered in a low voice. There was a hint of exhaustion in his tone.
Then, he tightly embraced her. A warm sensation spread across Anne's heart as she lay in his arms and listened to his heartbeats. "Even spouses care only about themselves in the face of calamities. Self-preservation is part of human nature. Don't dwell too much on it."
"Ha-ha!" Kevin let out a snicker. Since he was in a good mood, he kissed her forehead. "I'm just planning my next move. It's not like I care about those shareholders.
Even though the group brought them glory and money, they treated us like a cash machine. Those bastards forgot their obligations and responsibilities.
To be honest, I've always wanted to have another group of shareholders instead of them. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a suitable opportunity. But now, such a chance just presented itself!"
Although she nodded, Anne let out a sigh in her heart. If they changed shareholders at this time, they would only make the already bad situation worse.
Nonetheless, she believed that Kevin could solve the problem!
There was no need for her to worry about the situation. All she had to do was to believe in her husband.
"We're headed to W City early tomorrow morning." With a gentle pat on her back, he said in a serious voice, "Come with me!"
Selma and their children were safe since they were abroad. The only vulnerable person right now was Anne. Kevin would only feel at ease if she was with him.
With a nod, her eyes grew cold and grim. 'Kim, if you want to fight, we'll fight you to the end!'
Meanwhile, Kim was drinking coffee. He placed the cup in front of him and revealed a disgusted expression. In a disdainful tone, he said. "It tastes horrible."
"Well, I'm just a shareholder of a small company. There's no way I can afford a luxurious lifestyle. For now, this is the best coffee I can afford. Stop being picky," the man across him joked in a gentle voice. However, there was a touch of softness in it.
With indifferent eyes, Kim raised his head and stared at the man.
Unlike during company hours, the man was in pajamas. He sat with his legs crossed on the sofa. Although he acted slovenly, his breath was warmer.
Just like his brother, the man had a gentle aura around him.
"Are you planning on using this situation to prevent Kevin from turning over forever?" Peter reached for the cup in front of him and took a sip. A hint of disgust flashed across his face as he put the cup aside.
The coffee tasted bitter.
With a sneer, Kim gave a firm nod. "Well, there is a saying that you can't have your cake and eat it. There's no way that Kevin can have it both ways. Since he already has his most prized possession, I will take away all of his other things."
With raised eyebrows, Peter grew curious. Sure enough, he knew the prized possession Kim meant.
However, he had no idea why the rest of Kevin's belongings should go to Kim.
"That guy won't be such a successful businessman if he's that easy to deal with. Use caution when dealing with him. Otherwise, you might end up in trouble." Peter lowered his gaze as he tried to hide his complex emotions.
"Ha-ha!" Kim picked up his cup and sipped again. The bitter taste spread across his taste buds. "I won't give up until Kevin loses everything except for her."
The cold and heavy atmosphere filled the room. Peter realized how depressing their conversation was.
Then, Kim heaved a sigh. Although he said that he didn't love Anne anymore, he acted as if he had the same amount of love and hate for her.
He and Kevin used to be from two different worlds. There shouldn't be any interaction between them. However, because of a woman, they became mortal enemies.
There were millions of people in the world. Nonetheless, the last person to provoke was a ruthless and cruel person like Kim.
If he were only ruthless, then it wouldn't be the worst. Unfortunately, he was also affectionate.
Once such a person became captivated with someone, he would never give up until death. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
On the other hand, Anne and Kevin were so in love that they could never separate from each other.
Such a love triangle could only bring misery to everyone involved.
It seemed that Kim continued to attack Kevin just to vent his hatred. After all, the former was a victim of romance.
With a light sigh, Peter remained quiet. Since things had already escalated, he had nothing else to say.
As long as Kim didn't give up, the three would tangle with each other forever.
The night came to pass rather quickly. When Anne woke up, Kevin was not beside her. While rubbing her eyes, she went outside.
As she stepped out, she saw Kevin walking with food in his hands. When he met her gaze, a gentle smile flashed across his lips. "Breakfast is ready. Why don't you freshen up first?"
With a nod, Anne went to wash her face. After eating breakfast with him, she packed everything. Soon, she was ready to leave.
To save the project, they had to find a new partner. There was a person with such ability in W City -- Mr. Huang!
The couple planned to meet with him. If he cooperated with them, their losses would immensely diminish.
They had no room for errors this time.
Soon, the couple arrived at the airport and got on the plane. Suddenly, a stewardess approached them with a smile. "Hello, sir and ma'am. A gentleman behind you ordered two glasses of juice for both of you."
Kevin and Anne exchanged confused glances. With frowns on their face, they turned around. Immediately, they saw a man raising a glass at them, smiling.
Suddenly, dark expressions painted their face. The man was Kim!
The bastard rode on the same flight as them!
Kevin faked a smile and raised his glass to Kim before looking away. With a frown, Anne looked at her husband and whispered, "He's here to make trouble."
He let out a snicker. "Things are chaotic right now. I don't mind if he wants to come."
With a nod, Anne looked out of the window.
Kim dropped his gaze and frowned. Without saying anything, he drank his juice. A hint of excitement mixed with pain lingered in his eyes.
'Kevin, once we return, you will realize that I have taken away your treasured company.
With that, I wish you to have a happy family.'
As the plane landed on W City, Anne and Kevin got off the plane first. They walked away without looking back since they would be upset if they saw Kim again.
It was natural for them to avoid something that would just depress them.
While at W City, Kevin arranged everything they needed. He headed to the temporary residence with Anne.
"Do we plan on meeting Mr. Huang this afternoon?" She asked with a curious look.
With a nod, he dotingly smiled at her. "Relax. I already arranged everything. Don't overthink. I can do it."
A grin painted her face. She stood up and kissed him on the forehead. Since her husband was a capable man, she fully trusted him.
Suddenly, Kevin gave her a sensual look. Surprised, Anne pushed him away. "What are you planning to do? The sun is still up!"
"Well, you seduced me first. You should take responsibility for your behavior," he answered in a hoarse voice. Then, he kissed her on the lips, passionately.
