Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 429

What Selma said in the afternoon echoed in Anne's mind. 'The AN Group is the result of all the hard work put in by the last two generations of the Fu Family. We can't let anything bad happen to it. There's no way it can be ruined in Kevin's hands.'

But what would happen if they didn't agree to Kim's request?

Anne turned to look at Kevin with furrowed eyebrows. All she had in her mind was Cherry's simple condition—she wanted to have sex with Kevin.

Kevin returned Anne's thoughtful gaze. He then frowned as if he could read her mind. "Are you really going to make me do this?"

"No, you are mine!" she exclaimed indignantly. Anne gripped his arm and stroked it in a bid to reassure him. Kevin belonged to her, that was a fact, and in no way would she give him up and let him go to someone else.

Kevin smiled wanly in response to her gesture, but, deep inside, he felt hopeless and anxious.

'What should I do in such a situation?' he thought to himself, unable to find an answer.

Later in the afternoon, Kevin went to Sam's hospital. The trouble in his hospital hadn't been solved yet. Apparently, the relatives of the three dead patients had filed a lawsuit against Sam and, recently, he was given summons.

Sam squeezed the bridge of his nose in distress and then looked at Kevin with pleading eyes. "We don't have any witness or physical evidence. In fact, whatever I say can't be considered evidence."

Precisely, this situation made the matter even more difficult to solve. It was true, however, that Kim had been really cautious and hadn't left anything behind that could be linked to him.

There was a saying, "The day has eyes, the night has ears." But, at this point in time, this saying didn't apply to Kim.

Kevin sighed deeply and rubbed his forehead trying to understand the matter. 'How could Kim throw so many people under the bus at the same time? He is really powerful!'

Sam turned to Kevin and immediately noticed that he was in a bad mood. Then, he asked with precaution, "Is something wrong? What happened?"

Of course, Kevin would never hide anything from Sam. So, he told him what had happened and Sam's mouth was left hanging open.

"Cherry is also a popular star now. Numerous people have tried to ask her out on a date, but failed terribly," Sam said with excitement. "So now you are telling me that she took the initiative and you're hesitating to do it? You're lucky to have a romantic encounter!"

"How about you do it for me?" Kevin asked in a serious tone, casting a cold glance at Sam.

Without a doubt, Sam was stunned by the request and immediately shook his head. "Emily would throw me out of the house!"

Kevin curled his lips. He was done with the situation and didn't want to keep talking about it with Sam. Nevertheless, he was actually very conflicted in his heart.

At the moment, they only had two alternatives—Anne either handed over her shares to Kim or Kevin ended up having sex with Cherry.

But Kevin knew that if he was in another state of mind, he would choose the second one, without thinking it twice. Even if it was Cherry's trick, it wouldn't have much impact on him.

After all, Anne trusted him.

However, this would create a gap between them, though Anne would be aware that he was forced to do so.

In fact, Kevin himself couldn't fathom the thought of acting on it.

"I've worked my fingers to the bone to protect my family. Wouldn't this be the best choice for me under such a situation?" Kevin snorted. "If Kim wants the shares so much, I can give them to him. So what? Even if I lose the group, I can start over again. But without a family, what's the point in having so much money?"

Born into a rich family, Kevin had the opportunity to enjoy life in diverse ways. However, the only thing that he cared about now wasn't his personal belongings or his wealth' it was his family.

'So, what are you waiting for?' he thought to himself finally.

Looking at the firm expression on Kevin's face, Sam gave him a thumbs up. Although he was just merely joking about the topic, he still hoped that Kevin made the right choice.

Just like his friend, Sam had already been given a high position and enjoyed great wealth. At this moment, all they cared about were their own families.

Anne was standing in front of the window, staring silently at the ground, as if she had been hypnotized. Suddenly, the ringtone of her mobile phone woke her up and she immediately answered the incoming call. "Anne, let's give the shares to Kim!" She could hear the determination in Kevin's voice.

However, Anne replied nervously, "Are you sure about this?"

10% of the shares was definitely not a small number. Kevin had done the math on this and, because Kim had a lot of shares, he would directly take Kevin's place in the company, if he had the chance.

If that came to be, Kevin would lose everything he had earned.

Nevertheless, Kevin chuckled, unconcerned by the thought. "I've made up my mind. Anne, listen to me. Just do it."

Kevin's words reassured Anne of what they were about to do. She hung up the phone with a bitter smile. Then, she took a deep breath and proceeded to call Kim.

Kim, who was in the middle of a conversation at the office, flashed a wicked grin when he spotted Anne's name on the phone screen. He immediately apologized to the person he was talking with and left the room to answer the call.

"Kim, you win. I'll give you the shares. Just let Bob come back to his family." There was a hint of coldness in Anne's voice.

Kim raised his eyebrows at her abrupt message. "As expected, you are still the same old Anne I've always known," he responded calmly.

Anne frowned at his comment. She could sense the irony in his words, but decided to ignore him. "First of all, I have to make sure that Bob is safe," she continued with a stern voice.

On the other side, Kim stayed silent for a brief period. Later, he addressed Anne's condition. "Don't worry. The child is still lingering on his last breath. You'll be able to see him."

When he finished talking, he hung up the phone. Anne was caught off guard by his statement, which made her heart beat faster.

'He's lingering on his last breath?

Poor Bob.'

Sorrow flashed through Anne's eyes as she sighed heavily. She figured that after Kim was given what he wanted, he would no longer control Bob, so this was delightful news.

Now, it seemed that it was time to inform Bob's parents of the situation.

As a matter of fact, Bob's mother was very weak, but fortunately, the nurse had taken good care of her, so she didn't have a miscarriage. When Anne came to visit her, the woman immediately asked, "Is there any news about Bob?"
