Cherry stared at Kevin in surprise. As she shook her head, she murmured, "How is that possible? How can this be? No matter how much you love Anne, how can you accept a woman who loves someone else? Besides, Selma has been domineering all her life. Do you think she can accept Anne again?"
Back when Selma brought reporters with her to quarrel with Anne, she was so amused when she heard about the news.
It hadn't been a long time since that happened. How could Selma have a change of heart so soon?
Standing next to them, Kevin was staring at Anne with a smile. He was happy to leave this matter to her.
As a successful business genius, a myriad of women surrounded Kevin. As his wife, Anne must be capable of dealing with this kind of thing.
It made him very happy.
Anne sneered as she stared at Cherry from head to toe. "No matter how bad you refuse to believe it, it's the truth. Besides, this is our family's affair, and it has nothing to do with you. Can you please leave now?"
Her words were a declaration of her sovereignty. Cherry became livid at once. "Didn't you say that you like Kim? So why did you come back now? What do you even think of Kevin? Is it just a casual thing for you to return? You've been talking all this time, but have you ever asked for Kevin's opinion?"
In this room, Anne's words did not bear the most weight, but Kevin's. As long as he talked, she would be defeated.
In that moment, Cherry looked at Kevin with pitiful eyes that resembled a woman's eyes that were pleading for protection. She gently said to him, "Kevin how can you let me be wronged like this?"
Spreading out his arms, Kevin said, "Cherry, it seems that you've made a mistake. The only person I listen to is my wife!"
Cherry was surprised by his answer. Her expression stiffened. She looked at him in disbelief and then turned her gaze towards Anne. Did Kevin just say he'd listen to Anne?
"No!" Cherry couldn't figure out why. "You're such a noble man. How could you tolerate such a slattern?"
'Slattern?'
Kevin's face darkened at once. Glaring at Cherry, he snorted, "From the very beginning, I am the only one in Anne's heart. How could you say that she's a slattern? Besides, Cherry, don't you work for the entertainment industry? How many men have you been with? Moreover, you're obscene and vicious. You're even capable of murder. Women like you are truly detestable and frightening!"
When she heard him, Cherry was so devastated that her face was as pale as paper.
During this period of time, she and Kevin had already had dinner together numerous times. He even allowed her to visit his office freely. Although he never said anything sweet, everything was slowly getting better. How could it end like this now?
His words were like thorns that constricted Cherry's heart!
She had believed that Kevin didn't mind her past anymore, but she never imagined that he had kept it in mind all this time. Moreover, in his heart, she was actually a hussy!
No matter how many times she needed to quarrel with Anne, Cherry didn't care. The only thing she cared about was Kevin's words.
But now, his words were like a giant slap to her face.
She had done terrible things in the past, but it was all because of her love for Kevin. Unfortunately for her, he had never taken her seriously.
"Don't you want to know who's supporting me?" Cherry said in a hoarse voice as she closed her eyes. Perhaps, this was the last vestige of her dignity!
"He can do whatever he wants, but I don't care. But you? You're nobody. Whether you exist or not doesn't affect me at all."
Faced by Kevin's cold demeanor once more, her heart was broken.
Shaking her head, Cherry scowled at him and then glared at Anne.
"Good, very good! You're really good. Remember what you've done to me today. Someday, I'll pay you back in double!" Cherry shouted as she threw the bento on the ground, and then she stormed out.
Hearing that, Anne frowned and turned to Kevin. He smiled at her and walked towards her to caress her hair. "Don't worry, nothing's going to happen," he said.
Preposterous! How could Chery threaten them like this? Had she forgotten her true identity?
Her crime wasn't worthy of pardon.
Now, the only people who didn't know Cherry's true identity were her fans. And as soon as the truth was revealed, who could tolerate that vile woman?
If they weren't aware of her secret, Cherry's words would feel threatening. But now?
Kevin and Anne exchanged gazes. Neither of them took Cherry seriously.
"Daniel, clean this place up." Kevin said to his assistant who was at the door as he stared at the bento in disgust.
The assistant sighed and thought, 'It's so hard to be an assistant. I not only help Mr. Kevin deal with numerous things in the company, but I also have to monitor the AS Group's president. And now, he's even asking me to clean things up!
I'm being severely exploited, and he wouldn't even raise my salary!
God damn it! Working for a capitalist is just so pathetic!'
Anne sat on the sofa, browsing fashion magazines. Meanwhile, Kevin was sitting in front of his desk and carried on with his work.
The sun shone brightly, and the warmth seeped into the room. Anne turned around and smiled under the sunlight.
