Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 393

Emily smiled awkwardly as she spoke in a low voice. "Anne is right, Kim…"

"Emily!" Before she could finish her sentence, Sam interrupted her with a glare. He shook his head at her.

Her eyes flickered to Anne as she bit her tongue. It wasn't right of Emily to approve of her, since Anne was ready to put herself in harm's way to lure Kim.

However, the corners of Anne's mouth slowly raised to reveal a shocking smile.

All of a sudden, Sam had a hunch that Kevin wouldn't be able to stop Anne.

The exposure of the recording and pictures had caused another public uproar. In this world, there was never a shortage of onlookers.

Anne wasn't just the lady of a rich family anymore, she shared the same amount of fame as a popular star. It wasn't because of her good repute, but her lecherous lifestyle!

Although it made Anne feel wronged, she had to put up with it.

When Selma came to know this, she had flown into a rage. She was about to expose Cherry’s true identity but was stopped by Anne.

"Mom, before Cherry rose to fame, her identity must have been thoroughly investigated. Since her real name still hasn't been published yet, it shows how powerful the support behind Cherry is." Anne sighed dejectedly and continued, "We have no evidence. If we are to reveal her true identity, it will only arouse more suspicion."

Of course, Selma knew she was right but she remained dissatisfied. "I can't bear it."

Being a bossy woman who kept her reputation in high regard, she found it hard to accept this easily.

Anne pursed her lips, deep in thought. It was her who had caused this situation after all!

The next morning, Kevin knocked on the door to Anne's room but didn't receive any response. When he realized that she was missing, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Where is Anne?" Kevin questioned the servants, growing more uneasy by the minute.

The servants shook their heads, looking confused. They didn't know where Anne was. No one did. Kevin frowned and immediately called her, only to be met with a robotic voice informing him that her phone was powered off.

She had disappeared and there was no way to contact her. Where on earth could she be?

Anne had actually woken up early to avoid Selma and Kevin, heading out on her own.

As she stood in front of the office of the AS Group, Anne raised her eyebrows slightly. She was sure Ryan would be here at this hour.

He would have never expected the visit but seeing the recent chain of events, it seemed rational of Anne to come to Ryan. He cleared his throat as he comforted her, "Anne, although I don't know everything that has happened, I believe you. I am on your side. You are not the kind of person the report portrays you as."

"Who are you?" Anne stared at the man sitting in front of her.

Ryan's body instantly stiffened. He had used a horrible way to get money from Anne, continuing to run the AS Group instead of leaving A City. He knew Kevin was not that kind of person who would easily let him go and would definitely suppress his group, but it turned out that never happened.

Now, Anne suddenly came and asked about his real identity. What did she want to do?

Ryan's breathing quickened, he couldn't help but overthink. After all, he had done so many shameful things that he couldn't help but feel guilty now.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to do anything. It's just that you are not Ryan, so I don't want to continue calling you by that name," Anne explained after the other party didn't respond for a long time.

Ryan intertwined his fingers, frowning slightly. After a long pause, he took a labored inhale and said, "My name is Peter Xiao and I’m Ryan's biological younger brother."

Anne raised her head to look at him, blinking in surprise.

As far as she could remember, Ryan was the only child of his parents. She had never heard of Peter Xiao before.

"I was abducted by human traffickers as a child. Despite looking for a long time, my parents weren't able to find me and they had no choice but to forget about me. When I met Ryan by chance, I finally found my home. But before I could meet my parents, my brother passed away. I was so greedy that I wanted to have his property as my own. Since we both looked the same, I took Ryan's identity and started living as him." Before Peter Xiao could finish his monologue, Anne understood the entire truth.

She breathed a sigh of relief as she said, smiling sadly, "I didn't expect your life story to be so torturous. Since you are Ryan's younger brother, I feel more or less comforted."

Ryan had left behind his property in Anne's name. It was still well preserved as she never used it.

"I came here today to ask you if you have any way to contact Kim," Anne asked straightforwardly, her gaze unwavering.

With a scowl on his face, Peter Xiao slowly shook his head. There was a complicated look in his eyes as he replied, "I don't know how to contact him."

Anne scanned him up and down. Since she had spent some time with him, she was able to detect his emotional changes. Although he seemed calm outside, she saw a flash of worry in his eyes.

It seemed that her suspicions were true, Peter Xiao could in fact get in touch with Kim.

Lowering her head, Anne let out a heavy sigh. She said, "Peter, thank you for trusting me, but I need to tell you the truth. The person in the recording and pictures on Kristine's micro-blog is me."
