Cherry was putting on her make-up to get ready for the show that was about to start. It was then that her assistant suddenly handed over her phone to her. She glanced at it impatiently, but her eyes immediately widened upon seeing what it was. She then grabbed the phone and began watching it carefully.
It was currently playing a live broadcast. There were two people in there that she was familiar with. One was Kevin, and the other was Anne!
Wide-eyed, Anne was giving Kevin a firm look. She was currently standing at the edge of the roof. If she ever fell down accidentally, she would be smashed into pieces.
'What is Anne trying to do?' she wondered.
"What the hell is this bitch doing there? Just jump down already!" Cherry sneered, getting rather impatient and annoyed.
The make-up artist seemed surprised to hear this from her. But Cherry only waved her hand, and the artist immediately left.
Even though her reputation had been bad recently, she still had a rock-solid fan base out there. Despite her personality, her popularity wouldn't go away that easily.
"I've already told you that this matter was negotiable, Anne. We can talk about it once we get home. So please stop standing there. If our children ever saw this scene, they would definitely get worried and afraid." In the video, Kevin pleaded helplessly at Anne, trying to convince her to step away from the roof's edge.
However. Anne couldn't even think about how their children would feel right now. Everything must still go according to her plan.
Frowning, she took another step back. This made Kevin shout out hurriedly. "Please don't move, Anne! Just stay there!"
"Haven't I already said this? I don't love you anymore. Kim is the one I love now, so please let me go. Okay? Let's file a divorce. We don't love each other anyway. By staying together, we just inflict more pain to ourselves. Will you promise to divorce me after this, Kevin?" It was as if all the tensed up energy in her body flew out of her as soon as she said this. Her body began to tremble in the breeze as she continued to look firmly at Kevin.
Kevin gritted his teeth. There was a sea of constantly flashing lights in front of him. He knew that there were many mobile phones broadcasting this scene right now.
"I'll give you three seconds to decide, Kevin. If you agree to my terms, I will leave here. If you don't, I will jump!" Anne said with a tone of finality.
Her eyes showed that she wasn't bluffing at all. If Kevin didn't agree, she would definitely jump down from there.
“One.”
Anne continued to stare at Kevin with determined eyes.
Meanwhile, Selma couldn't help but shake her head in annoyance. "What's wrong with Kevin?" she muttered to herself. "He should know that this wouldn't be a real divorce. He simply has to agree to whatever Anne wants, and everything would turn out fine in the end. So why is he still hesitating?"
“Two,”
Anne continued the countdown.
In Sam's office, Emily was delivering the soup she made for him. As soon as she entered, she saw that he was watching Anne and Kevin's live broadcast. The scene that unfolded in front of her was shocking, but she could only shake her head helplessly. While pouring the soup for Sam, she couldn't help but say, "This is Anne we're talking about. Once she makes her decision, nobody can stop her."
However, this wasn't what Emily would expect Anne to do.
Smiling faintly, Sam put down his phone and looked at Emily. "Anne is too stubborn," he said in a low voice.
Making sure that nobody else was around, Emily smiled and leaned into his arms. She kissed him on the chin and replied in a soft voice, "Look at me. I'm so obedient."
As Sam heard this, the corners of his lip twitched. At the moment, Emily was also making him feel helpless. In fact, she was no worse than Anne when it came to making other people feel this way.
But since he was directly under her gaze, he had no choice but to say, "Of course, my wife is much more obedient than Anne."
Emily smiled, seemingly satisfied by his statement. She then continued to watch the live broadcast playing on the phone.
"Three.”
Anne had finally reached the last of her countdown. And while she appeared calm on the surface, her heart was pounding erratically inside her chest. 'Damn it, Kevin. Just agree to my terms already!'
Anne knew that Kevin was smart enough to see through her plan. But now, she couldn't help but be worried that he wouldn't agree to her terms at all. And if he didn't, what would she do then?
Should she take back everything she said about jumping down? Could she still take that back?
Filled with hesitation and trepidation, she took another step back. At that moment, Kevin spoke up again. For the first time, his voice sounded sweet and melodious. "I agree to your terms!"
Uttering those words seemed to have sapped all the strength out of Kevin. His voice was very light. It was as if a mere breeze could carry it away, but the words still reached her ears.
Upon hearing this, Anne felt relief wash over her. With a smile on her face, she looked down at the reporters and the audience below and said loudly, "You have heard him clearly. Please stand as my witnesses in the future!"
Everyone looked at one another, but nobody uttered a single sound. Kevin was such a good man. They couldn't believe that Anne would still fall in love with another man. This annoyed them greatly.
They didn't have anything more to say about this slut!
This woman was completely unaware of her good fortune. She deserved to feel miserable!
Nonetheless, Kevin shook his head, feeling helpless, as he looked at Anne. His words were very clear. 'I gave you my promise, so you better come down there as soon as possible. It's too dangerous out there.'
However, Anne frowned. Even though she wanted to get out of there, her legs felt too weak to move especially when she looked down below from the tall building.
Upon seeing that she was almost frozen there, Kevin took a step forward. She didn't stop him. But then, a cold gust of wind suddenly blew at her direction. Her eyes widened in an instant.
"Ah..."
Anne was knocked back, screaming as she went. Kevin immediately ran towards her. His eyes, too, were wide open.
This entire scene was still being broadcasted live across countless of mobile phones.
"Anne!"
"Anne!"
