Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 457

In the police director's office.

Anne and Kevin had taken a seat opposite to the director, wearing a very serious expression on their faces. In front of them, sat the director with expectant eyes.

Unable to keep silent any longer, Kevin sighed loudly. "Sir, according to our understanding of Kim's personality, if he gets out of prison, he'll most likely take the opportunity to run away. If this is so, I'm afraid we won't be able to find him anymore!

Besides, I'm pretty sure he won't cooperate with us, if he doesn't get anything in return. Whatever way we look at this, it appears to be a very unstable factor for us."

The director took Kevin's concerns into consideration. Then, he furrowed his eyebrows and realized the man sitting in front of him was right.

What Kevin mentioned was true. In fact, the director knew how cunning Kim was. Unfortunately, if he managed to run away, the director would be held accountable for this, for Kim had been already sentenced to death.

Originally, the director wanted to help the couple with their difficult situation. However, if the plan failed, he would be held responsible for his incompetence. Therefore, he couldn't let this happen to him.

'Then, what should I do?' the director thought to himself.

"The last time Kim caught me, he cast two people, like it's done for TV and movies. With some make up here and there, he managed to make them look very similar to us! If I hadn't observed these people from head to toe, I would have been fooled too!" exclaimed Anne, who was sitting next to her husband.

"Okay!" So, the director of the police station clapped his hands and puffed his chest. "Very good. We will do the same!" he said with a satisfied smile.

Then, Anne and Kevin exchanged looks and nodded helplessly to themselves. Based on the current situation, there was no other way of proceeding.

On the other hand, thanks to the police's involvement, they soon found a similar person that could replace Kim. After some training, he looked and acted exactly like him.

After taking a look at Kim's replacement, both Anne and Kevin let out a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, they waited for Kim's men to get in contact with Kevin.

If Kevin hadn't suffered the injury to his legs, they would have already contacted him. However, since he was hospitalized, they had no choice but to wait.

Unfortunately, they couldn't wait any longer.

Now, the day of Kim's execution was due within no time.

Finally, one evening, Kevin received a call. He proceeded to tell them that someone had been put into the prison to replace Kim, so Kim could go back at any time. The great news was received enthusiastically by the other party. They thanked Kevin profusely, although he wasn't as eager to receive their gratitude.

This time, Kevin didn't let Anne follow him. He asked Emily to keep an eye on her while he was gone.

Meanwhile, Anne felt completely helpless. The danger her husband could face left her restless, unable to stay still at her own home.

At first, Sam wanted to help Kevin without telling Emily. Nevertheless, she could read her husband like a book. Emily was well aware that Sam would never let his good friend go alone. Therefore, she took the initiative and asked her husband to help Kevin.

Obviously, Sam hadn't expected her to take the first step and speak her mind. So, he was really moved when it happened. Sam approached his wife and held her tightly in his arms. As they were immersed in the warmth of their embrace, eternal seconds had passed before he let Emily go due to Kevin's constant persistence. Therefore, Sam asked Anne to keep his wife safe.

The Fu Family had so many servants around the house, however Anne felt a bit helpless. What could happen to them in these conditions?

Nevertheless, as a favor to dear Sam, she had no choice but to do as she was told.

After Kevin and Sam left the house, Anne and Emily leaned back on the sofa and watched whatever was on TV. At times, they would slightly smile at each other when something funny came up, but, in reality, their mind was somewhere else.

It went without saying that what the guys were about to do was extremely dangerous. Even though Kevin and Sam were intelligent, Emily and Anne felt righteously worried thinking something atrocious could happen to them. It was just like the last time, back then no one imagined the bodyguards would shoot!

All of a sudden, the girls came back to earth as soon as they noticed a familiar face on TV. Anne tried squinting her eyes to get a better look and she couldn't believe her eyes. It was Cherry!

After the police went through the painstaking job of discovering Kim's true identity, they went on to track down Cherry. Much to their chagrin, the police couldn't figure out her real name. Nowadays, she was as popular as ever and often appeared on TV. Unfortunately, seeing her face everywhere got annoying really fast.

"After Kim's case is over, we will expose Cherry's true identity. It's beyond me how this woman can still be so arrogant." Emily let out a hopeless sigh and took a sip of the water in front of her.

Anne didn't take Emily's words seriously, though. With a gentle smile, she said, "As long as Cherry doesn't get near us or tries to provoke us, I don't care what she did in the past anymore."

Emily had known Anne for a long time, so she knew her well. After she heard her comment on the topic, Emily couldn't help but sigh slightly and lower her head in defeat.

Anne was still too kind-hearted. Emily thought that if Anne could take the chance and destroy Cherry once and for all, the arrogant girl would never dare to stir up trouble again.

Suddenly, Anne's phone rang, snapping both of them out of their thoughts. They were very nervous and even forgot how to breathe.

Without a second thought, Anne got closer to the phone screen to try and make out who the caller was. Immediately, Emily knew that from the expression of her face it couldn't have been Kevin or Sam.

"Why did you call me?" Anne answered with a smile.

"Mark isn't here today. A few hours ago, I basically forced myself to eat something, but now I feel very uncomfortable and I can't manage to fall asleep." Rose's voice had changed a lot and now, it sounded softer. In fact, her voice sounded very pleasant over the phone.

After Anne listened to her pitiful confession, she shook her head helplessly, as she understood Rose's troubles. "I can't sleep either. Do you want to talk for a bit?"

Anne could feel Rose smiling widely on the other side of the phone. Emily, who was sitting beside her, was certainly speechless. Her eyes widened while she looked at Anne in disbelief. Impressed by what was going on, she quickly muted the TV.

As a matter of fact, it was weird seeing Anne talking to Rose with a smile on her face!

For years, the two sisters were declared enemies because of Kevin. But suddenly, they were talking over the phone as if they were as thick as thieves. It seemed as if those horrible experiences and bad memories had vanished without a trace.

From the expression of her face, it was obvious that Emily felt deeply confused. She lowered her head and stared at her hands silently. For a few minutes, she was hesitant of what she was about to do, but then she decidedly pinched herself! Almost immediately, her face contorted with pain.
