Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 344

Since Kevin asked, Anne knew that she had to tell him the truth.

She turned around and gazed at Kevin with a frown. She didn't intend to hide it from Kevin at first, but she didn't figure it out until recently, long after the incident happened.

Moreover, it was only an assumption, which was confirmed by Selma earlier this morning. Besides, Selma had promised that she would delete those photos. Anne thought it was no need to dwell on this matter anymore.

However, things had taken an unpredictable turn.

"Kevin, I'm sorry," she apologized before telling him everything.

Kevin looked disappointed and unhappy. He wasn't expecting such a thing to take place.

Selma had promised that she would delete those photos but she was horrified when she returned home and found that her house was burgled and her computer was missing.

She had lots of gold and silver, and other expensive jewelry which could have been easily stolen. But surprisingly only a few of those were taken. She couldn't understand why the thief also took the computer whose value was far lesser than the jewelry. Besides, the computer was not an easily portable device.

Therefore it was highly unlikely that someone had stolen it for the sake of reselling it. Their intention must have been to steal the computer from the very beginning.

"Mom said that she had set up a password to the photos so that no one else can have an access to them. The thief must have tried to use different passwords and when it didn't work, they must have been forced to take the computer along." Kevin's frown deepened after Anne's explanation. She further added. "The thief entered the Fu Family's house not for gold and silver jewelry, but for the computer."

Kevin nodded slowly. That could be possible. It seemed like the only plausible explanation at the moment.

He began to think about other people who might know about the photos.

"The two brawny men are on the run. The police are trying to look for them, but there is no news. But they have sent out word to other police stations and have also distributed posters so that if anyone recognizes them then they can inform the authority. According to the police, they are not bold enough to return to A City.

How many people know about the photos?" Kevin murmured, deep lines appeared on his brows.

Anne looked up at Kevin, perplexed. What did he mean?

"Anne, maybe we should suspect Ryan," he said to her grimly. Kevin added, "The Ryan we know now is not the real one, nor is he your friend.

What's more, he even wanted the property from you and when you tested him, he shrewdly managed to hide his real identity even when you called him out on it.

Ryan is also a smart man. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hidden his true identity for so long and been so patient." Anne looked at him unhappily. Kevin sighed. He understood her. An imposter was posing to be her friend even when she knew the truth. It was not a good feeling.

Still, he reasoned, "Now he is desperate for the money. It makes sense that he is eager to get those photos."

Anne nodded as she thought, 'After all, he pretended to be someone else just for the property. So it will not be strange if wants to get his hands on those photos.'

She completely agreed with Kevin. There was no one more suspicious than Ryan at the moment.

"Kevin, you need to hurry up and go back to your mother's place. I'll stay here to take care of the children," Anne said urgently.

Kevin nodded. Now that he had a clear picture of the incident, he knew how to take actions accordingly.

Before he turned around, he engulfed Anne in a tight hug and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid. If we can get the computer back, then everything will be fine. Even if we can't get it back on time and the photos get exposed, I will still be here, supporting you."

After that he left hurriedly.

As she kept her fond gaze on his retreating figure, a soft smile unconsciously bloomed on her lips. This time she was sure that no matter what happened, Kevin would always stay by her side.

So what if there were scandals? As long as he knew the truth and believed in her, she did not care what others had to say about her.

Kevin's comforting words eased the turmoil in her heart. She lingered outside for a moment before going to Sally's room.

The children were another source of comfort for her.

When Kevin reached the house, he saw many police cars in front of the gate. When he entered the monitoring room he saw some policemen watching the surveillance video.

He left the police to do their job and went to find his mother. He found her sitting sullenly on the sofa. Selma looked worried, but her eyes lit up at the sight of Kevin. She immediately got up and walked up to him. "Kevin, I am so glad you came. The police are investigating. I am sure they will find some clues. Don't worry, okay?"

Kevin nodded, not at all comforted by his mother's words. His jaw ticked. He would find the culprit. They had taken the risk of meddling with him, so he wouldn't let them off the hook so easily.

Anyone who dared to destroy his family would be sentenced to death.

On the other hand, an unremarkable and ordinary looking black car had made its quiet exit from A City.

Back at the house, Anne sat on the bed in her pajamas. However, she was lost in thought as she blankly stared at the book in her hand.

It was already dawn and Kevin hadn't come back yet. That itself said how grave the situation was.

Anne groaned before grabbing her phone from the nightstand and scrolling through her contacts until she found Ryan's number. Her thumb hovered on the dial button and after hesitating for a moment she pressed the dialer button.

After a few rings, the call was answered. Ryan's groggy and sleep-laden voice came from the other end, "Anne, are you going to watch the sunrise? Why did you get up so early?"

"Ryan." Anne's voice was anything but friendly. She had no mood for joking around especially not with that imposter. Without beating around the bush she directly came to the point. "When I was in coma, Selma took photos of us and stored them in her computer but that computer was suddenly stolen." Before she could say more, Ryan asked in a surprised tone,

"What did you say? How could this be? Did Selma do it?"

Anne rolled her eyes and abruptly ended the call. She just wanted to inform him.

On the other side, Ryan had not been awoken by the phone call, nor was he sleepy. In fact, he was sitting on the sofa in a tailored suit, stroking his stubbled chin as he stared at the phone's screen.

"You are really good at pretending." A cold and disdainful voice came from the other side. Ryan frowned as he looked away from the phone and settled his gaze on the man sitting on the opposite side.
