Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 278

"There is no answer for the time being. But one thing I can tell for certain is that no matter which group it is, the AN Group will not admit defeat like a coward. We will use our strength and ability and make sure they will be held accountable."

Kevin's authoritative voice rang in the hall.

After everyone listened to this, their minds instantly went to the M Group. They were a strong competitor of the AN Group in the country, and the M Group came the second.

"Mr. Kevin, do you think it could be the M group?" someone questioned.

Hearing this query, Kevin sneered in his heart. 'Kim is quite good at scheming. He deliberately did this to confuse me. But does he think I am someone that can be messed with?' Kevin thought and shook his head.

Before Kevin could respond to them, a female voice interrupted them.

"You cannot make such accusation. You should think twice before you say something." This lady speaker was none other than Rose. Everybody turned to look at her. She appeared with Mark by her side.

She held Mark's hand as they walked inside. There was something about the way they stood that made their intimacy evident.

Everyone present knew about Kevin's past relationship with her. Hence seeing her with another man made the atmosphere a bit embarrassing.

They also knew that Kevin had a bad temper. Expectantly, they waited for him to lose his calm. To their utter surprise, he seemed quite composed. In fact, he gazed at the couple with a happy expression.

After Rose explained everything to him, Mark no longer hated Kevin. Instead, he cherished Rose even more.

"Although M Group is not as famous as AN Group, it is a century old company and has been here for a long time. From the beginning, we have given utmost priority to quality. We would never attempt any dirty tricks. I can guarantee you that our group has nothing to do with it so leave it out," Mark said those words with a great momentum and Rose couldn't help but look into his brave eyes with affection.

Then, she added, "My sister, Anne, is currently dating Mr. Kevin. If there is any rumor, we will definitely hold rumormonger accountable."

As she uttered those words, everyone remained silent. Nobody could now say that there was a conflict between the M Group and the AN Group.

"That's all for today's interview." After saying that, Kevin left, followed by Rose and Mark.

"Kevin, we have helped you, but why haven't you thanked us?" said Rose, catching up with him. She was quite disappointed with his behavior.

Rose still hated Kevin with a passion. But she knew she had no choice. Kevin and Anne were in a relationship. She considered Anne as her family so there was no way she could keep a distance from him. Every time she saw him, she made an attempt to be nice.

"Why should I thank you?" Kevin stopped and asked.

"We helped you out, otherwise you would have been in trouble," Rose replied in a matter-of-factly way.

"I'm sorry, but I don't believe I was in trouble. And suppose I was, do you think I will need help to solve it?" Kevin replied back haughtily.

Rose was writhing with fury. They had helped him, but Kevin hadn't had the decency to treat them well.

"If you are capable of solving every issue, then why aren't you and Anne married? You should do it as soon as possible." Rose's voice was a little harsh, evidently trying to provoke Kevin.

As expected, this time, her words hit him where it hurt. Hearing what she had said, Kevin frowned and left without saying a word.

It seemed that she had succeeded in making him angry.

Once he was gone, Rose stuck out her tongue and said, "He is angry! What a mean man!"

Rose had not liked Kevin, and her attempts to like him had failed. Anyway, she was shocked that her words had angered him. She didn't know he was so easily annoyed.

However, Mark disagreed with her. "I don't think he is mean," he said, a pensive look appearing in his eyes.

Hearing this, Rose was surprised. "If he's not mean, then how do you explain his rude departure?"

"Everyone has a sore spot. Kevin cares about Anne's safety a great deal. That's why he is angry with you."

"I see. If you were in his place, would you be angry too?" Rose asked with a smile. She was testing his love.

Mark smiled and said, "Will you agree if I propose to you now?"

"Of course I will," Rose said, trying to sound casual but one could tell she meant it.

"In that case, I won't be angry like Kevin. Because our situations are different," Mark said.

At this time, Rose summoned the courage and asked, "When will you marry me?"

Hearing this, Mark smiled again. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

There was a hint of banter in his voice which made Rose a little upset. She frowned and said, "Just forget it then."

Her voice reeked of disappointment. Before she could turn away and leave, Mark pulled her into a tight embrace. "If you want me to marry you, I can do it now. If I am delaying it, it is only because I am afraid that your parents will worry about you."

"What will they worry about?" Rose raised her eyes and asked, not able to understand what he was trying to say.

"You've only been in love with me for a few months. We cannot marry hastily. They will think I am tricking you into it," Mark said with a look of honesty.

"No, that's not true. My father already likes you very much. My mother may have had issues with you in the beginning. But now, she seems to like you a lot too. Anyway, my marriage is my business. Nobody else has a say in it. If my parents won't agree, I will still be with you." Every word Rose said indicated that she was willing to do anything to be with him.
