Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 421

Kim's voice was neither loud nor low. It was just enough for people around him to hear him. They immediately took out their phones to record the scene.

Kevin narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.

'Damn Kim!'

"I have just taken over the AS Group, so I'm still new here. My career is currently on the rise. Of course, I wanted to please Mr. Kevin, but it turned out to have an opposite effect instead. I don't expect him to forgive me, but please don't do anything to retaliate. I just want to live peacefully in A City!" With his back on the crowd, Kim smiled at Kevin. He didn't look apologetic at all.

He then bowed to Kevin before turning to face the crowd. The smile was gone from his face. And now, he looked perfectly sad.

Kevin couldn't help but frown at this. The people around them immediately started putting away their mobile phones. But the damage was done, and the video had finally made its way into the internet.

Anne then turned to Kevin, but he shook his head. Emily was instantly up on her feet and followed them out.

"This is all my fault. I wasn't able to find Kim. If only I left earlier with Sally, this wouldn't have happened at all," Emily said. Her voice was full of guilt. "Kim's cold eyes frightened me so much. I'm so sorry. It's all my fault."

'If only I had more courage and left with Sally, this wouldn't have happened, ' Emily thought in her heart.

Anne turned around to look at her. She smiled and shook her head. "Don't beat yourself up, Emily. We can't really anticipate Kim every time he makes a move.

You've still done a good job."

Kim was the type of man who would dare to do anything. Emily had never met such a dangerous person before. Nonetheless, it was brave of her to protect Sally from him.

Emily could only smile bitterly. She had nothing more to say.

Kevin looked at Sally through the rearview mirror. Upon seeing her red and swollen eyes, he felt a painful lurch inside his heart. He could only sigh helplessly and sped up the car.

Meanwhile, at home, Selma was getting worried. As soon as Kevin and the others arrived, she immediately ran towards Sally and held her in her arms.

"Don't be afraid, Sally. Grandma is here. I'm here." Selma closed her eyes as she held her grandchild tighter. It was as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

Sally's eyes widened. At this point, she had completely forgotten everything that had just happened.

"I am really fine, Grandma." Her childish voice was still sweet and soft. The sound alone was like music to people's ears.

Selma then let go of Sally and looked at her red eyes. She frowned and turned to look at Kevin.

Kevin nodded at her, and she immediately left with Sally in her arms.

In the hall, Kevin, Anne, and Emily finally decided to sit down.

Kevin was still fuming deep inside. "What Kim did today was his retaliation after we broke the agreement last time."

Indeed, the man was so childish and mean. He only did this because he wanted to get even with Kevin and Anne after they had broken their agreement.

Frowning, Anne didn't say anything. It was true after all. As far as she knew, Kim was capable of doing such a thing.

When she turned on her phone, she wasn't at all surprised to see that the video was posted online. There were a lot of negative comments, too.

The netizens didn't understand what was going. They only heard Kim pleading softly, but they didn't know that the real victims were Kevin and Anne.

In this era of the internet, there was never a shortage of audience. People behind keyboards loved to watch and talk. Not to mention, there were the paid posters who did nothing but criticize and insult online.

"Kim's behavior has forced us into the spotlight again. Our group's stock will definitely fluctuate tomorrow!" Rubbing her forehead, Anne sighed heavily.

If that did happen tomorrow, it would be a huge loss to the group.

And if they lost their reputation and money, it would be all Kim's fault!

"Well, there's nothing we can do now. It happened, so let's not think about it too much." Kevin looked at Anne.

Anne nodded slightly before turning to Emily. The other woman sat silently beside her the whole time. "Don't let it get to you, Emily. It had happened, and we can't do anything to change the past," Anne said.

Emily sighed. Indeed, it was true. It was too late to do anything about it now.

On the other hand, Bob's parents and the police still received no news about Bob. Their child was still missing. It was only natural that they were anxious. Bob's parents had actually contacted Anne to inform her about their plans to come to A City.

At that time, Anne and Kevin were very sure that the person behind all these were actually aiming for the two of them. So it was only natural that Bob must be in A City!

And even though they had nobody to rely on in A City, they wanted to be in the same city where Bob was!

It was because of this that Anne agreed. The house she bought was currently vacant, so she allowed Bob's parents to live in there for the meantime.

Back then in M City, Bob's mother couldn't hold back her rage and had beaten Anne. She now had a faint scar on her face because of this. But afterwards, Bob's mother couldn't help but feel guilty about it. She said, "I'm so sorry, Anne. I was being too impulsive at that time. I just lost my child, so I couldn't stop myself..."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke. Anne sighed and took out a tissue from her bag. She gave it to Bob's mother and said, "I completely understand how you're feeling. If I was in your situation, I would have gone crazy as well. Moreover, you discovered the reason why I wanted Bob. It's only reasonable for you to blame me."
