Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 531

"The last time I was on a call with Anne, she really sounded as if her mind was somewhere else. So I called a connection in the city and he told me about the matters between you and TS Company. I also knew about the video on the internet," Peter said. "If you can't locate that person, you will always be cast in a suspicious light."

Kevin nodded. The person to whom Peter had referred was Colin.

There were no leads on him. No one had any idea where Colin could be.

As time went by, Ella had become increasingly worried. She had started to ask about her father about twice a day.

But now, there was no new information on him.

Last night, Ella had yet again had a terrifying dream that woke her from her sleep. Crying, she had knocked on Kevin and Anne's door and anxiously flung herself into the latter's arms for comfort.

They felt so sorry for this little girl, but there was really nothing they could do for her.

"You know, I have remembered how I behaved previously. I have taken it too far in the past. This time, I want to help you and I don't want any type of remuneration or reward. I want to make up for the mistakes I have committed in the past. What do you say?" Peter said this with a confident and assured smile on his face.

Anne and Kevin shared a look. They both then looked back at Peter.

"Are you aware that Kim is still alive?" Anne asked.

Although Peter was not a co-conspirator of Kim, and was not in Kim's immediate circle, Kim did trust him very much.

Peter raised his eyebrows, nodded, and said, "Of course I know."

"This whole thing has something to do with Kim. If you help us, you will be against Kim. Aren't the two of you friends?" she continued.

Peter smirked. He took a sip of his tea, then he said, "Anne, you could not be more wrong. Kim and I have never been friends!"

Anne and Kevin looked at each other in surprise.

Peter lowered his voice and elaborated, "Back then, Kim was aware of my true identity. He blackmailed me with this information. I really had no choice. But now, he really can't threaten me any longer. Even if I go against him directly to his face, what can he do?"

Peter was no longer the person he used to be. Now, he had done everything by the book. He was not scared of Kim at all!

It wasn't until he went abroad that he had realized he was at his happiest when he was a man who was self-made, self-assured, honest and confident.

That was why he had decided to pursue a career as a detective. He did his best to find out what the truth was in very difficult cases. The real murderer should stand trial and be convicted."

Hearing that, Anne and Kevin both smiled.

"In that case, thank you so much," Kevin said seriously. Since Peter had advised of the situation, he really wanted to enlist his assistance.

Plus, it had been a really long time since the incident had transpired yet there was no news from the police. Perhaps Peter could uncover some new clues.

Further, Peter knew Kim and his ways better than the police.

Peter gave a small nod, picked up the gift bag next to him and placed it on the table. "Simon and Sally had told me about what happened with Eddy. I'm sorry that I haven't had a chance to visit him at hospital, but I have got him a birthday present. Here."

Shaking her head, Anne said, "No, you don't have to worry about him. He has recovered as well as we could have hoped for. I think he'll likely be discharged quite soon."

Peter nodded at the good news. After chatting for some time, he got to his feet and took his leave.

The only purpose of Peter making a return was to help Anne and Kevin.

The two of them watched Peter's departing figure and sighed heavily. They really couldn't know for sure whether Peter would uncover anything or not.

But they had no better means or solution.

Not long after Peter left the house, a black car cut him off. Unfazed and fearless, Peter smiled. Although he could not see who exactly was in the car, he waved in greeting.

"When I heard that you were dead, I really didn't believe it. I'm relieved to see that you are alive and kicking." Peter had the hunch that Kim was indeed alive.

Kim was elusive and truly a force to be reckoned with. With the strength of his black-market businesses behind him, how could he so easily be killed?

Peter was abroad when the news of Kim's death had broken. He thought it was utterly ridiculous. He really had not expected Anne and Kevin to have believed it.

After discovering the whole story, Peter really had no other option but to accept that Kim's character was encapsulated by two words: powerful and cunning.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Kim's wicked face. His eyes were cold and dark, his expression blank. He looked directly at Peter. His presence created a pressurized feeling, as if his ability to coerce was hanging tangibly in the air.

"So, it's evident that you have been stalking the Fu Family," Peter said in a heavy voice. "You conquered death. After that, is there still something you can't let go of? Do you really think it wise to fight bitterly to the end? Kim - let it go. Let Anne be free. Just let everything end here."

Kim's face darkened with menace for a moment. He snorted and said scornfully, "Don't think you can tell me what to do, Peter. It really isn't any of your concern."

Peter had no choice but to nod in acceptance. "Forget it. It is your business and life. It doesn't have anything to do with me."

"Why did you come back?" Kim asked.

"Of course, I returned for a specific purpose. But you aren't the mayor of the city, are you?" Peter made this remark with a mocking smile playing across his face. He did not have one iota of fear in him for Kim.

Kim's eyes narrowed and he gave Peter a look that could turn a person to ice in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he took out his gun and pointed directly at Peter.

"Peter, I have lost my patience with you. If you want to live, you better get out of this city right now!" Kim said menacingly.

His men had been watching the Fu Family's residence closely. When Peter had paid a visit, he was immediately alerted.

He wasn't sure why Peter had come back but he had a bad feeling about it.

For so many years, he'd survived hails of bullets. His sixth sense was more accurate than anyone else's.

That was why he made it a priority to personally come to Peter and threaten his life.

"Peter shook his head as if he didn't even see the murderous weapon pointed right at him. He said fearlessly, "I can't leave now. I haven't finished my work yet!"

"What is it that you've set out to do?" Kim pressed him for an answer.

"That is my private business, and it has nothing to do with you!" Peter shook his head again.
