Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 464 A Method To Reverse The Situation

Everything had been peaceful without any problems. While Kevin wasn't working, one thought seemed to inhabit his mind, which was Anne's reputation.

After mulling it over, Kevin finally came up with a solution. Only Cherry could help him solve the problem.

She had been the source of all the problems. Therefore, it was her responsibility to undo the mess she had created.

When Cherry received a call from Kevin, she was hesitant to pick up the call. Fear wracked her nerves, for she believed that he was going to expose her identity. However, Kevin's words left her baffled; the man had invited her for dinner.

However, Cherry's thoughts instantly wandered to Anne. If dining with him annoyed Anne, she wouldn't hesitate to send her back to jail.

The excitement bubbling in her heart died in an instant. She feigned a cough to hide her embarrassment before speaking. "I'd love to, but I'm busy. I have a lot of work to do, so I don't think I'd have the time to see you."

"Oh, really?" Kevin asked coldly. "I wanted to ask if you could do me a favor. If you are too busy with work, then I understand. But if I accidentally mention something about my ex-girlfriend in public, please don't blame me."

Although the man sounded polite, Cherry knew that he was threatening her. She quickly cleared her throat. "Okay, no problem. I will be there."

A smile crept onto Kevin's lips as he hung up the call.

Cherry slipped on a hat and a mask and arrived at the place they had planned to meet. She didn't dare to meet Kevin until she was sure that they weren't surrounded by reporters.

In the past, when Cherry was with Kevin, she prayed for the reporters to catch a glimpse of them. But it was the opposite now.

Kevin arched his brow in suspicion as he looked at Cherry's concealed face. He ignored her and ordered food.

Cherry was nervously shifting in her seat. She studied the man's face and finally mustered the courage to question him. "Kevin, what do you want from me?"

Kevin looked at her but didn't utter a word. Once the waiter served the dishes, he took a deep breath and spoke. "Cherry, you are partly responsible for tarnishing Anne's reputation."

Cherry's eyes widened; she wondered where this conversation was going.

"Anne is my wife. I don't want anyone to misinterpret her regardless of what she has done. I need you to help me with this."

Cherry breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't as bad as she had believed it to be. Compromising with Kevin was no big deal as long as her identity was not exposed.

"Look, I don't owe anything to anyone, and I don't ask for favors without giving anything in return. If you help me out, I will make you a superstar in the entertainment industry." The certainty in his voice revealed that he meant every word.

Cherry was stunned. She looked at Kevin, not knowing what to say.

Although the terms star and superstar sounded similar, the power and status that came along with the tags revealed how different they were.

Cherry was miles away from being a superstar and didn't have any quality to be one.

Superstars were talented. They had effortless grace and charisma and enjoyed a fat income. People worshipped them.

The prospect of a glorious future excited Cherry. Her heart was drumming in her chest. She looked at Kevin again. The AN Group owned an entertainment company and had contacts with all the powerful people in the industry.

Cherry had planned to sign a contract with Kevin's company in the beginning, but she was afraid that the man would find out her identity. Therefore, she collaborated with a different company.

However, if Cherry helped Kevin, she would enjoy other benefits and bag good roles in successful movies.

The offer seemed tempting. Cherry couldn't decline it.

She bit her lips and studied the man's face to find out if this was a trap. His dark, impenetrable eyes stared back at her; he was still too handsome.

Cherry knew Kevin very well. The man always kept his promise.

"All right, I will help you." Cherry nodded.

It was such an attractive offer, and she was no fool to miss it.

Cherry had to make a declaration that wouldn't affect her in any way.

Kevin had been busy the entire morning and was starving. He ignored Cherry and continued to eat.

However, Cherry couldn't eat without Kevin's permission. She looked at him to see what he was going to say. However, the man stood up and left before reminding her that he would call her soon.

Cherry let out a weary sigh as she watched him walk out of the restaurant. But the excitement and joy of becoming a superstar instantly lifted her spirits.

Helping Kevin would make her a superstar. Cherry sat there and envisioned her future.

Kevin returned home and informed Anne about his deal with Cherry.

Anne was already distressed about her ruined reputation. She nodded without saying a word after hearing about the deal.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Cherry. However, she couldn't say anything because Kevin had already come to an understanding with her.

The bad name and reputation that followed her all this while would finally change. That was the only glimmer of hope that seemed to calm her down.

Kevin's plan was very simple. An award ceremony would be held soon for the people in the entertainment industry, and Cherry was nominated for the role of the best actress. He already got the inside news that she would be the winner of the category.

According to his plan, Cherry would walk on the red carpet and make a grand entry, wearing the dress designed by Anne. The reporters would certainly question her about the outfit and the designer. That way, Cherry could advertise for Anne's company that was due to open soon.

Mentioning Anne's name might stir a commotion because of her reputation. However, Cherry could clarify the confusion and change their opinion of Anne. Kevin had also hired online paid supporters who would rave about Anne's work and write good things about her. As time went by, the problem would naturally be solved.

Although it seemed complicated, the plan was simple enough to reverse the damage.

Therefore, Anne agreed to it.

However, she had to meet Cherry to design her outfit.

The woman wouldn't come to see her, so Anne had to go to her office.

She looked at Cherry and took her measurements. "Don't worry. I won't let you down."

Cherry nodded, for she couldn't say anything. She had already hired a designer to design her outfit.

But that would be her little secret.

After taking the measurements and finding out Cherry's requirements, Anne went to Rose's new house instead of returning home.

Rose and Mark had remarried. They didn't want to hold a wedding ceremony and make a big fuss about it because they already had one when they first married. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Anne also thought another wedding ceremony would be unnecessary because as long as the couple loved each other, the formality really didn't matter.

Not only Anne, but Kevin and the children had also planned to see Rose and congratulate them on moving to a new house.

Their new residence wasn't far from the Fu Family's house.

When Anne arrived, she saw the children running around, playing with each other. She smiled in relief as Eddy was there to take care of the other three children.

Kevin was sitting under an umbrella, sipping on his red wine. He stood up and waved at Anne as he saw her coming.

Anne's smile broadened. She walked up to Kevin and saw Mark sitting on the other side of the table.

"Where is Rose?" she asked, scanning across the place.

Mark chuckled. "She is in the kitchen. She is apparently cooking delicious food for us."

Anne's nose scrunched with distaste as she looked at Mark in disbelief. Mark couldn't help but laugh at the horrified look on her face.

Rose was the daughter of the Luo Family. She had been a spoiled brat ever since she was a little girl; the servants did everything for her. The woman had never entered the kitchen before and didn't know how to cook.

Anne was hungry; she wanted to eat something delicious. However, Rose's cooking wouldn't satiate her hunger.

She wondered whether to take the risk of accepting the food or not.

However, there was no means to escape since she was already here. Anne would have no choice but to taste Rose's food.

"Mark, look at your garden. It is messy." Kevin peered across the garden, shaking his head in disapproval.

The old house of the Fu Family was elegant and cozy but not extravagant. In comparison, the backyard of Mark's house looked like a jungle. No one had bothered to clean the overgrown shrubs and weeds.

Mark rolled his eyes helplessly.

Kevin always spoke his mind without thinking.

"Mrs. Anne, would you like to redesign our garden?" Mark smiled at Anne.

He had faith in Anne's talent and believed that she could transform their back yard that Kevin regarded as a mess.

Anne turned around and saw the children running in the garden. She was hesitant to give her word.

Cherry would be attending the award ceremony in two weeks. She had to design the dress before that. If she agreed to redesign the backyard, she wouldn't have enough time to design the outfit.

"What are you talking about?" Rose walked in with a plate of fruit and smiled at everyone.

"You make me sad, Mark." Anne pouted. "You have left the job to me because you don't want to trouble your wife."

Rose placed the plate on the table and cast a quizzical glance at Anne. Mark couldn't help but smile at her.

"Rose is a talented designer. How could you ask me to redesign your garden?" Anne teased, shaking her head. "People will start envying your wife if you pamper her too much."

"Oh, come on. Kevin is a better husband than I am. We all know how well he takes care of you." Mark winked at Kevin.

A smile tugged at the corners of Anne's mouth; she shook her head helplessly. "Design what?" asked Rose.

"Well, your backyard looks messy. It is probably due to the design, so you should consider redesigning it," replied Anne.

"Your husband asked me to handle it, but I am too busy."

Rose nodded. "I don't like the design either, but don't worry. I'll deal with it."

Every woman liked to design a warm home, so did Rose. She preferred designing and converting the space the way she liked.

Mark nodded in agreement.

Anne heaved a sigh of relief and took a sip of wine from Kevin's glass.

She had managed to decline Mark's offer without offending him. Now, she had ample time to work on Cherry's outfit.

A sudden cry interrupted their conversation.

Everyone turned around and saw Paula sitting on the ground, wailing.

They ran over to her to find out what had happened.

Rose picked Paula in her arms and dusted off the mud clinging to her body. "What's wrong, honey? Why are you crying?"

"Sally is bullying me." Paula sniffed loudly, pointing her finger at Sally.

Unable to hide her annoyance, Sally rolled her eyes. She glared at the little girl who was pouting at her.

Anna pulled Sally aside and squatted beside her. "Sally, what's going on?"

"I picked a pretty flower, but Paula wanted it. She asked me to give it to her. I refused. My brother said that Paula is the youngest one and asked me to give it to her. I listened to him and gave the flower to Paula, but there was a thorn on it. It poked Paula's hand," Sally answered with a grumpy look on her face.
