Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 525

Luke furrowed his eyebrows and stared coldly at Alan. Suddenly, his behavior changed for the worst. He snorted loudly and rested his feet on the tea table in front of him. "I'm not leaving this place unless you give me some money."

It was clear that Luke had everything planned. After Cherry escaped, he had foreseen the future. Considering her status, she must have kept an infinite amount of gold and silver jewelry. Unfortunately, he couldn't find any in the house.

In fact, Cherry left as fast as she could. She might have taken some away, but it was safe to assume that she must have left behind most of it.

If Luke wasn't able to find the invaluable jewelry on his own, then there was only one possibility. That was Alan had taken them.

Luke had lost his job and he had yet to recover from his injury. Of course he wouldn't leave without getting anything.

"How much do you want?" Alan turned to Luke with a faint smile.

Suddenly, the latter's body stiffened under Alan's sinister gaze. Fortunately, Luke noticed his own abrupt change. So, he puffed up his chest and pretended to be unfazed by the tension. Cherry and Alan were nothing alike. In fact, he figured that Alan was just playing with him and that, in reality, he wouldn't even dare to kill a fly.

'Why would I be afraid of Alan?'

Luke completely forgot the reason why this man had been imprisoned.

"Five hundred thousand!" he said without batting an eye.

That wasn't even what ordinary people would save in half a lifetime! For a star like Cherry, however, she probably wouldn't even notice that sum of money was gone from her bank account.

Therefore, this task was a piece of cake. Alan wouldn't have any difficulty in getting that amount of cash.

But he had forgotten something major. He furrowed his eyebrows as he squinted his eyes at Luke. Cherry might be oblivious, but she was not a fool. How could she tell him the password without asking why he needed it in the first place? Alan had some money; he had just sold her jewelry!

Five hundred thousand, however, was just too much for him!

Besides, why would he willingly share the money he got of the sell-off with Luke? Cherry owed Alan, not him.

After all, Luke had nothing to complain about, since he had enjoyed some time with the beautiful star. Even if it was only for one night.

"No!" He denied directly, "I won't give you a penny!"

Luke's face contorted with anger due to Alan's refusal. "Do you really want to end up like this? Don't burn the bridge, Alan, otherwise I won't speak for my actions."

The latter could only sneer. He wasn't bothered at all by that ominous threat. "Really? What do you plant to do?"

Luke stood up abruptly and walked up to Alan with sinister eyes. "Give me the money, or I'll personally throw you in jail," he returned without batting an eye.

Alan snorted loudly. "And how will you do that?" he asked confidently.

Indeed, he was the one who used Luke to make Cherry suffer. However, he didn't force him to do so. What was more, what charge could Alan be convicted of?

As far as he knew, no one could be put in jail for that.

Luke, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes as he clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't believe this man's audacity.

"What? Do you want to hit me?" Alan leaned forward. "You wouldn't dare." He was clearly trying to get a reaction from the man.

This was the last straw for Luke. However, he couldn't even dare to lay a finger on Alan. He raised his head slowly and took a step back. "This isn't the end. Just wait and see!"

All of these threats meant very little to Alan. They didn't have any effect on him.

It was just impossible to take Luke seriously. Besides, he was unemployed. That meant no money, no connections, nothing. What could he do?

He stormed out and the sound of the slamming door was the only trace he had left behind.

After their heated altercation, Alan took a seat. The tapping of his fingers got progressively louder as he began to get immersed in his thoughts. Cherry's identity was well-hidden. The only thing that could prove her real identity was the DNA test results in his hand.

But where did the reporter actually get the evidence?

Somehow, deep inside, he knew this wasn't something to be taken lightly.

Speaking of the devil, Cherry was still locked inside the detention room. In fact, the stress had caused her to curl up in a corner with fear spread all over her face. She was trembling and biting her lips incessantly. Her mouth, which emitted a strong smell of blood, had stiffened. All in all, it was impossible for her to relax.

Cherry was scared. She felt her world crumbling down around her. Who could save her?

Tears slowly streamed down her cheeks, leaving her face slightly damp. She felt secluded from the world, all alone in the detention room. So, Cherry had no choice but to bury her head between her legs. Through the muffled noises, her incessant sobbing could be heard clearly.

The only thing she wanted was to wake up from this horrible nightmare, because the fear she felt was too great to be true. Deep inside she wished she could go back in time. None of this would have happened, if she still was Kevin's woman.

Unfortunately, luck wasn't on her side. The only thing she could do was to continue dreaming of better days.

Last time, it was Kim who came to her rescue. Who would be her knight in shining armor this time?

When Kevin arrived at the LF Group, the lawyer had been waiting for him for a long time. So, as soon as the man noticed his arrival, he immediately stood up and greeted Kevin. The latter nodded at the lawyer and took a sit in front of him. "What's going on now?"

The lawyer opened the file, in which he kept all the designers' photos that belonged to the LF Group.

The lawyer furrowed his eyebrows. The confusion in his eyes was noticeable from afar. "Yesterday, the LF Group was broken into. Unfortunately, the security cameras were destroyed. As for the contracts with those designers, they are all gone now."

Kevin could only nod. He had figured that all of this would happen. This destructive behavior was obviously in line with Kim's character. Only he was brave enough to do that.

"Miss Rose has already got in touch with the police. She's currently cooperating with them and giving them all of the information they need to solve this issue. Unfortunately, these aren't the works of an amateur offender. They are clearly very skilled, since they have left without a trace. It's going to be difficult for the police to find the thief. The only thing we can do is wait." The lawyer looked back at Kevin helplessly. "The court session is coming soon. We don't have enough time."

The latter nodded again. He rubbed his temples with his slender fingers, slowly trying to analyze the situation in which the whole company was in. "All of our contracts with the designers have disappeared. Plus, they changed their confessions, saying that they had given the drafts to the TS Company and the LF Group had used them without authorization."
