Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 264

On an inconspicuous dark sofa in the AN Group, one could find light reflecting off something. If one looked carefully, they would find that it was actually a watch.

When Kevin arrived at the office, he saw Sam sitting on the sofa with a sad face. With the same gloomy expression, Sam glanced at Kevin and once again drowned in his sorrow.

"CY Group?" Kevin asked, already sure of the answer.

Hearing him, Sam nodded and waited for his reply.

However, even after a long time, Kevin didn't say anything. Sam was anxious and asked, "What can we do now? Messing with the CY Group is no joke."

For the first time, both of them felt a little concerned. Although the AN Group was one of the top conglomerates in the world, it was one that followed every governmental law and did its business with honesty. Yet, the same couldn't be said about the CY Group. It was famous indeed, but for all the wrong reasons. Them being the most infamous group in the underworld was like an open secret.

Although it was nowhere near the AN Group in strength, it still had a reputation behind its back, the bad kind. All the presidents of the CY Group were nothing more than over glorified thugs. They had their hand in everything from kidnapping to every despicable act imaginable. Therefore, many companies feared being targeted by the CY Group.

The AN Group was powerful, no doubt. But Kevin was just a young president with potential in their eyes. Although the AN Group wasn't afraid of such threats, it was better to be safe than sorry. So, they had to be on guard against the CY Group.

"There is nothing to fear. They wanna come? Then let's welcome them.. After all, you can't stop someone who is seeking death, right?" Kevin said in a level voice, but the bloodthirst was apparent.

This made Sam's heart sink.

"Do you have any plan?" Sam asked uncertainly.

The bunch at the CY Group was unpredictable, so Sam was feeling uneasy.

"No, but I don't care. They use the same old tactics. And like always, they will try to target the weakest joint of our company," Kevin explained in a calm and collected manner.

"And it's the part concerning the collection of raw materials," Sam said.

At its core, CY Group wasn't a serious business group. Their CEO was a vicious individual who would do whatever it took to achieve his goals. Regardless of how much someone prepared, something was bound to go wrong.

It could be said that all companies were prey in the eyes of the CY Group.

"I will send someone to deal with the raw materials. You send more people to make sure everything goes smoothly," Kevin said calmly.

Sam breathed a sigh of relief. They finally had a method to deal with the CY Group. It made him as relaxed as a newborn.

"Okay, I'll make sure of that," At such a critical moment, they weren't in the mood for their casual banters. So, they decided to put what happened before in the back and work out this problem first.

"Find me everything on the CEO of the CY Group; I mean everything. Stuff that even my assistant can't find," Kevin ordered.

Sam was obviously the one good with information, so Kevin didn't worry about it.

"Okay, no problem. This is the company's operation management plan. Have a look." Sam put down the document and left the office.

Kevin stood alone in the office and massaged his aching forehead. A lot of things were happening in the company, and he had to deal with all of them alone. For now, his plan for dealing with the CY Group was to wait and see.

In the East Mountain Villa.

At seven o'clock in the evening.

At this time, night and day seem to co-exist for a brief moment. The fountain and lamps in the villa began their job like clockwork. The fountain sprayed water in beautiful arcs while the lamps provided a sanguine glow to the villa. One could see gray clouds fleeting on the horizon creating the illusion that it was already nighttime.

Covering herself with a coat, Anne sat on the swing outside the villa with an anxious face. She was worried about Kevin and wanted to know what was bothering him.

Owing to her pregnancy she always felt sleepy, so she was asleep on the swing before she knew it.

When it was late in the night, a tired Kevin finally returned to the East Mountain Villa.

Seeing the worried look on Kevin's face, the servant said, "Mr. Kevin, you should take a rest first. I'll bring you the midnight snack later."

However, Kevin forced the last bit of his strength to show an energetic face and said to the servant, "I'm okay. Go ahead with your work."

He was already exhausted by solving the company's problem. So, he seriously needed another dose of his "alone time with Anne".

He sneakily walked towards Anne.

Anne sat on a rattan chair attached to the swing. She wore a thick coat and looked quiet with her lips pursed. Something was obviously worrying her.

Looking at her worried face, Kevin felt sad. He never wanted to see worry or pain on her face.

While watching her, he discovered that the coat wasn't covering her completely. So when he tried to cover her with a blanket, she woke up.

"Kevin, you are back?" Initially tense, but when she saw it was him, she relaxed.

Kevin's heart skipped a beat when he saw her expression, but he didn't say or ask anything.

"Something happened in the company, but don't worry as I have already solved it," Kevin calmly explained why he was late.

"What was it?" Obviously, Anne didn't believe what Kevin said.

"Nothing big. It's just that the company was having trouble buying raw materials for diamond. It's being solved as we speak. Sam is new to all this, so he was worried." Kevin kept a smile on his face as if deriding her for being too nervous.

"Okay." Anne nodded in understanding.
