Kevin didn't know what to say when he heard Selma's question. He spoke with a slight irritation in his tone. "Mom, I didn't ask you to come here to quarrel. What if you scare the baby?"
Selma realized what he meant. She nodded and said, "Well, you know what kind of person Cherry is. She mistreated the child. It's not easy for our family to have the baby."
She just shook her head in dismay and walked to the baby's room.
Cherry was embarrassed to witness the scene in front of her. She regretted what she had done. Selma seemed to have lost all the good impressions she had on her.
Her slender hands were crossed and her expression was pitiful. Anne just walked over coldly and completely ignored her.
Anne didn't want to see nor hear from Kevin today, so she also walked past him and disregarded his presence.
Kevin felt frustrated when he saw the coldness in her face. He had no choice but to wait for Sam to bring the materials to him.
It was about three o' clock in the afternoon. Kevin seemed to have lost his status at home and almost no one paid attention to him. Cherry was there who always wanted to talk to him, but she was afraid to come forward because of his imposing manner.
"Kevin, are you isolated?" Sam saw that Kevin was sitting alone at the sofa and reading some documents, as soon as he arrived. When Selma came over, she treated Kevin like a mere decoration in the house.
His arrival saved the presence of Kevin from being completely disregarded. "Did you find anything?"
He was worried the most about Anne. He didn't want her to be unhappy but things always went against his wishes.
"Of course. You wouldn't believe what I found. You didn't really know the true colors of Cherry. You even have no idea on how many bad things she has done!" Sam said with a hint of disgust towards Cherry. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in anger.
He took out a thick pile of documents and a USB flash disk and put them on the table.
"Cherry definitely set all of these according to plan. You see, from framing Anne, to bribing others to embarrass her, we can say that she is really a scheming and vicious woman!"
Kevin frowned. He got furious when he looked over the documents that Sam gave him.
He felt pity towards Anne. And at the same time he was so pissed off with the fact that she always remained silent and let others treat her like a doormat.
"But what we got is far from enough. Cherry is shameless and I'm very sure that she will never admit that she's wrong," Kevin said and sighed heavily.
Cherry was good at bewitching people with words. She was a total hypocrite who always wanted to fool people and manipulate them to whatever extent. Finally, Kevin had a deep understanding of the tricks she always had.
"It doesn't matter. More importantly, just play the video in the USB flash disk," Sam said with full courage to take Cherry down.
Just as Kevin was about to play it, he stopped him and said, "Wait a minute."
He couldn't help but feel irritated, but he felt the need to obey him. He was sure that this was the time when he felt himself the most obedient.
"What else?" Kevin asked in a discontented tone.
He never expected that Sam was so annoying. He was just as overcautious and indecisive as a woman.
"It's such an important scene. Let everyone see it, and discuss what decision to come up with right after," Sam said with a gloomy face.
He thought that somehow, smart people could also tend to be stupid sometimes.
Kevin nodded. The maid already knew what he meant and immediately called the attention of everyone.
A few minutes later, everyone came at the living room.
Selma raised her eyebrows and spoke with dissatisfaction. "Kevin, what the hell are you doing?"
"You will know later." Kevin just smiled lightly and spoke in a cold manner.
Sam played the video. It had clearly shown the place where Kevin had a car accident. When Anne and Cherry recognized the place, their faces suddenly turned pale. Cherry was the most nervous one in the room. She was at the verge of collapsing, as if she was about to die.
This was the most dangerous and risky moment of her life.
Anne believed that the question she always had in her mind would finally be given answers.
Until now, she still couldn't understand why Kevin disappeared that day just after she called a doctor. On the second day, it was said that Wendy had saved him. But, it was a complicated puzzle to solve the question, what happened after she left to call the doctor?
It was the first time that Kevin had recalled what happened in the accident through the video. He saw that Anne was the first one to appear in it.
She seemed to be frightened when she saw Kevin, but she quickly pulled him aside to check on his vital signs despite having her hand injured.
She fumbled in her pocket, but didn't find her cell phone to call the emergency hotline. She had no choice but to go to other places to call for help.
Anne didn't feel strange when she saw the first part of the video, but what happened next was totally out of her expectation.
Not long after the previous scene, Cherry and her mother appeared.
They seemed to be in an argument. At last, Cherry knocked the documents out of Wendy's hands. Just then, a car came quickly and she saw a person lying unconsciously from a distance.
However, the place was too remote and only a few people were passing by.
"Cherry did such a cruel thing because she is heartless. If we let her go this time, it's possible that she might just hurt other people too. She deserves to be imprisoned. She actually deserves worse than that," he added.
Everyone in the room agreed with him. These things made Kevin sigh in relief. It was Anne who saved her. He felt a little guilty with the thought.
"Yes, you better put her in jail. I can't stand to see that shameless, deplorable woman in my house any longer." Selma spoke with hatred.
"Okay."
Kevin had made up his mind, but Cherry tried to plead once more.
"Kevin, I'll change. I'll definitely change. Please don't put me in jail, okay?" Cherry knelt on the ground and begged him, but no one dared to sympathize.
A moment later, the police came. They took the strong evidences with them and arrested Cherry.
After that, everyone in the room was relieved.
"It's so scary, isn't it? How could the Ye Clan's daughter be that murderous?" Selma said with a hint of fear in her eyes.
Selma still held a grudge against the Ye Clan's daughter. Suddenly, Anne spoke up. "She is not the true Ye Clan's daughter. She was just the child of Wendy with another man. The true Yes wouldn't do such a shameless thing."
It was all clear to Selma now. The one who really had bad intentions since then was Cherry. She used to hate Anne, but now that she had proved that she was a good person, the hatred in her heart subsided.
"Well, it seems that you haven't done anything bad. I am now allowing you to stay with Kevin. After all, you two have a child. It's good for the baby to have a complete family," Selma said considerately and then left.
Anne never expected that Selma would accept her in their family. It was never in her mind at all.
Although the misunderstandings between her and Kevin were already settled, she still felt a little pain in her heart. However, she tried her best to hold back her temper.
"Thank you, Sam. If it weren't for you, no one would have known Cherry's true colors," Anne said. She appreciated everything that Sam had done for her. He was truly a good friend.
"It was nothing. Remember to invite me to a meal. I'll go back first." Sam simply smiled at her and looked at Kevin. Afterwards, he already left the house.
Anne and Kevin were the only ones that were left in the villa.
"I didn't expect that it was you who saved me." Kevin was about to hug her, but she took a step back and completely refused.
"Kevin, don't change the way you are to me too much. I can't accept it. I know you want to thank me, but you can just do it in your heart. Don't touch me. I will feel awkward," she said in an indifferent tone and went back to her room to have a rest.
