Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 234

In the mansion of the Fu Family, a fresh breeze whispered into the window of Rose's bedroom. There was an empty plate on the bedside table, and the warmth of the sheets was so inviting at this hour.

After eating the fruit salad, Rose wanted to rest on the bed for a while. However, Selma's voice rang in her head, reminding her that she needed to go to the hospital to have her physical examination.

Although she found it annoying as it was against her will, she had no choice but to listen and do what Selma told her.

Then, she got up, changed her clothes, and arranged her things as she prepared to go to the hospital.

On her way to her wardrobe closet, she passed by her laptop, which showed the pictures of Anne online. The micro-blog messages posted on it were all bad-mouthing her for crossing the line.

At the sight of this, Rose couldn't help but let out a wicked smile. Truth be told, if Anne hadn't been engaged to Ian, she wouldn't have dared to use such an underhand method. However, because of their engagement, Rose grabbed the opportunity to expose Anne.

Meanwhile, in the AN Group, a piece of paper was placed on top of a stack of documents.

"Mr. Kevin, this is what you were asking for. Please have a look," Daniel said as he referred to the piece of evidence that he had acquired.

However, after accomplishing his task, Daniel had a complicated feeling, knowing that Rose was the real culprit behind it all. She was the hostess of the Fu Family, and he didn't know how Kevin would react the moment he knew about it.

Kevin grabbed the paper without hesitation and instantly saw a record of Rose bribing a certain reporter. Seeing this, Kevin fumed in anger.

Then, he crumpled the paper, tossed it back on the table, and fell silent. On the outside, it would seem that he was taking this rather calmly than expected, but knowing Kevin's attitude, Daniel was sure that his boss was about to explode at any second.

"By the way, Mr. Kevin, the reporter of the newspaper is just outside. We can let him in if you like," Daniel said suggestively.

He couldn't actually believe how unlucky this reporter was. In the past, there were also lots of baseless news, but no one really cared about them. However, this was a different case. It was Kevin that he had offended.

"Yeah. Let him in," Kevin said with a straight face.

Soon enough, the reporter entered his office. Kevin sat on the couch and stared at the guy who just entered with icy glares.

Apparently, it was a very young reporter that was almost new in the industry. The second he saw Kevin and his extremely imposing aura, he was scared out of his wits. The very person involved in the news that he wrote was now right in front of him.

He was in utter disbelief that Kevin was way more handsome and colder in person than in the photo.

As he sat opposite Kevin and Daniel, the reporter's legs couldn't stop trembling. There was also a trickling cold sweat on his forehead although the room was fully air-conditioned.

"Mr. Kevin, I sincerely apologize! I just entered this industry and I'm not that familiar with the rules yet. Don't worry. I promise to delete that news immediately. Just please don't do anything to me!" The reporter was almost tearing up as he bowed his head, but there was no indication on Kevin's face that he would forgive this guy.

After a brief moment of silence, Kevin finally spoke and asked, "So, who authorized you to write this news?"

"I didn't need any permission. I wrote it myself…" the reporter answered reluctantly as he continued to bow his head apologetically.

However, Kevin wasn't having any of it. He looked at the guy with narrowed eyes as if he was gazing into his mind and soul.

Knowing that he was under thorough inquisition, the reporter breathed heavily as if he was feeling suffocated.

"You might have written the news yourself, but who told you to publish it? And if you won't tell me, I'll be sure to destroy your career. I know you're not stupid, so I expect you to answer wisely," Kevin said disdainfully.

Seeing the cold yet fiery expression in Kevin's eyes, the reporter knew that he wasn't bluffing. It would just be a piece of cake for a person at Kevin's caliber to mess with his life.

Thinking back on what he had done, the reporter deeply regretted agreeing with the woman's request. Even before he got the promised payment, he had already destroyed himself. After thinking for a while, he finally confessed, "I actually don't know her name, but it was a woman who came to me. She's actually quite similar to the woman I wrote in the article."

Hearing this, a frown suddenly appeared on Kevin's face. Then, he asked, "Is she pregnant?"

Obviously, Kevin and Daniel thought that it should be Rose, thus the reporter could easily identify her if the woman was pregnant.

However, they didn't expect what the reporter said next. "I don't think so. She wore classy and very high heels when we met. There was no way she's pregnant if she went out like that. How careless could she be, if she was indeed pregnant?"

This time, it was Kevin's turn to get rather confused. Daniel, who was next to him, knew exactly what Kevin was thinking, so he quickly took out a photo of Rose and showed it to the reporter.

"Take a good look at this person. Is she the one you made business with?" Daniel asked.

Rose was an absolute beauty that no one would be able to forget her face once they saw her up close. Hence, the reporter identified her instantly. "Yes, it's her! She's the one who asked me to do all of this. I know that I haven't received the money that she promised me, but I also don't want it anymore. I just want you to let me off the hook…"

The reporter was indeed sharp and good at judging the situation, so he made up his mind at once.

At the same time, Kevin scoffed as he played with the expensive boccaro cup on the table. "You don't know the gravity of what you've done, so don't tell me what to do."

After all this time, he didn't have the heart to hurt Anne even a little, despite her hurting him a lot. Therefore, how could he let some irrelevant people hurt his dearest woman?

"What do you want me to do? Just tell me and I'd do it." The reporter was already getting desperate. He had really regretted all his actions, so he just wanted to make it up to them.

"Fine. How about this? Accept the money from her like you're supposed to. But I'll need you to post another news later. Of course, I'll double the price. What do you think? It's not that bad of a deal."

As the reporter heard this, his eyes immediately widened. He was so sure that he might have lost his career by now, but he didn't expect that it would turn out this way.

Obviously, Kevin must be giving him a harder task, but if he didn't accept it, he was already finished. Since he was already caught up in this, he might as well fight until the end.
