"Miss Cherry, save your words. You just want me to deal with Anne, don't you? Unfortunately, I won't listen to you this time. I will definitely avenge my sister. Mr. Kevin has promised me that once the child is born, Anne will be at my mercy and he will never interfere!"
Since the woman was being protected by Kevin, Alan could not avenge her sister yet. If he really hurt that damned woman, he would also have a hard time.
Cherry didn't expect him to be so firm in his decision this time. He ignored every word she had said and that made her even more anxious.
"Mr. Alan, if Kevin falls in love with Anne, do you think that even if she gives birth to the child you will still have the chance to get back at her?"
She tried to persuade him as hatred dominated her heart.
"What do you mean by that?" Just as she had predicted, Alan's tone changed on the other end of the line after he heard her.
"I said, if Kevin fell in love with Anne, he would protect her even after the baby was born. If that happens, then it would be impossible for you to avenge your sister.
That's why you should get rid of her, as soon as possible."
There was no need for her to deny the truth this time. If she didn't tell him the truth, Alan would never help her.
There was a few seconds of silence in the other end of line. Her shoulders slumped when she thought that he might not cooperate, but a sliver of hope emerged when he spoke.
"Do you have a good plan in mind? Is there any way to make sure that Anne will pay for what she did?"
His ultimate goal was for Anne to pay a heavy price. He would have a hard time avenging his sister if Kevin fell in love with that insufferable bitch.
"Now that you have agreed to cooperate with me, let me be in charge. I will make a careful plan, and this time, I won't fail."
A vicious cold light glinted in her eyes. It made her look completely devoid of emotion. This time, she was definitely getting rid of Anne once and for all.
"I see. I'll wait for your further instructions. I hope, you won't let me down this time!"
After he dropped the call, Cherry put on a wicked smile. 'Let me see if you've got your lady-luck this time, Anne.'
The pregnant woman woke up the next morning and found Emily sitting on her bed. Her eyes widened at the unannounced appearance of her friend.
"Emily, what are you doing here at this hour? Do you need anything?" she asked in concern when she noticed that her friend didn't look well.
"You're awake! I thought you would sleep until noon,"
Emily bantered instead of answering her question.
"I've been sleeping a lot recently. By the way, what brings you here?"
"I just wanted to say goodbye. I'm planning to study broad, so I won't be seeing you for a long time," Emily said after some hesitation. She could barely look at her friend in the eye.
Anne had a moment of consternation and reluctance. She sounded anxious when she spoke. "You're going abroad? Why is it so sudden?
I've never heard you mention this before."
"I made that decision in the spur of the moment. I realized that I'm still incompetent when it comes to my work, and I figured that I can enhance it abroad. That's why I can't be your assistant from now on. Not yet, at least."
Emily looked past the window with a bothered look on her face. She swallowed the lump on her throat and tried to hold back her tears.
"You're acting a bit strange today. Are you hiding something from me?"
Anne narrowed her eyes and asked. She couldn't help but be suspicious of her friend's unusual attitude.
Emily used to have a carefree personality. Every time she had to make a decision, she would consult Anne first. The fact that she told her this after she decided she was leaving was strange.
"No, I'm not hiding anything. I just wanted to bid you goodbye before I leave."
Tears welled up in Emily's eyes, but she held them back.
Anne was embraced with sadness when she saw the reluctance in her eyes. She had known Emily for a while now, and she was like a sister to her. She couldn't bear the thought of being away from Emily for a long time.
But she didn't want to be selfish. She was well aware that there would be a lot of opportunities for her if she studied there.
"You'll come back, right? Let's just work together when you get back!" A sincere smile spread across her lips. She gave a heartfelt hug for Emily as she tried her best not to cry.
"I will, but please, do me a favor. While I'm away don't let yourself get hurt again."
She knew that once she left, there would be less danger for Anne. However, she was worried because there was someone in the villa who would do everything in her power to hurt Anne.
