Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 547

Peter closed his eyes and let out a weary sigh. "Anne, Kevin had risked his life to bring peace and happiness back to your life. But now..."

His jaw tightened in anger. He wanted to scold Kevin and make him understand how stupid his decision had been. It had cost his life.

However, it was too late.

Anne craned her neck to look at Peter. Her teary eyes met his. "I want to go back!"

She couldn't believe that Kevin had gone.

Anne was aware of Kevin's potential and what he was capable of doing. He would never make such an impulsive decision. She believed that there must have been other reasons behind his move.

Perhaps it was his yet another trick.

Now everyone believed that Kevin was dead -- even Sam. He had perhaps made the world think that he was dead before making his next attack against Kim.

The only way to defeat a dangerous criminal like Kim was to strike when he least expected.

Peter waved his hands.

"I, too, want to go back. But we can't!"

It seemed that Brandon was the only one watching them in the villa. But in fact, it wasn't the case. They could never escape from the place on their own.

"But I must go back!" Anne was determined to leave. She couldn't stay in the place any longer.

Peter ran his fingers through his hair, wondering what to do next.

Anne sprang to her feet and darted toward the hall. Brandon was sipping on his coffee and playing video games.

The boy's eyes were fixed on the screen. He was engrossed in his game.

Brandon didn't realize Anne's presence. He continued to play with a contented smile. Just then, Anne picked up the cup and smashed it to the ground.

The boy jerked in shock. He turned around and glared at her. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

Anne squatted down and picked up a glass fragment and stepped backward. "I want to video chat with Kim!"

"Our boss doesn't want to see you," Brandon answered, glaring at her.

"Are you sure?" An evil smile crept onto her lips.

Brandon frowned as he realized that she was up to something. As expected, Anne tossed the glass debris in her hand and slowly slipped them into her mouth.

"No!"

"Are you out of your mind? Don't be stupid!"

Brandon and Peter screamed in unison. But she turned a deaf ear to the pleas and continued to stare at Brandon.

Peter knew that Anne was depressed; the woman was desperate to leave the place. However, he didn't expect her to do such a thing. Peter lunged forward to stop her. However, the woman pointed at her throat as she swallowed her saliva, warning Brandon that she would swallow the glass piece too.

"Anne, the glass is too sharp. It would tear your internal organs. Don't be stupid!" Peter's body stiffened. He didn't know what to do.

However, Anne continued to ignore him.

Thinking it might be a trick, Brandon calmed down and said. "I have killed numerous people in my life. Why would you think that I'd be afraid of you? You can't frighten me!"

The boy's response irked Peter. He stepped forward, looking murderous. "Kevin is dead. She has nothing left to lose. Do you think she wouldn't swallow them?"

"What? Kevin is dead?" A flash of surprise crossed Brandon's face. "That's my boss. He always defeats his opponent!" He smirked. "I have been in S City for only two days, but my boss has already got rid of Kevin. I think you understand how strong and powerful he is!"

"Cut the crap and think a way to stop her!" Peter snapped.

Brandon stopped smiling. He frowned and began to take the matter seriously.

He believed that Anne was only bluffing around to get what she wanted. But things would be different if Kevin was dead.

Anne wouldn't hesitate to swallow the glass piece.

After a moment's hesitation, Brandon called Kim.

The man answered the call almost immediately. "What's up?"

"Boss, Anne wants to make a video call with you. She is threatening that she would swallow the glass piece if she doesn't get to talk to you. What do I do now? Will you talk with her?" Brandon asked respectfully.

After a while, he switched to video call and turned the camera to Anne.

Anne seemed surprisingly calm. She took a deep breath and finally spat the glass piece.

"Kim, are you happy now?"

The man nodded as his face broke into a victorious grin. "I'm very happy."

Then he shook his head with a smile and said sarcastically, "I thought Kevin would be a good opponent, but I didn't expect him to be so weak."

Kim thought that fighting Kevin would be a difficult task and that he had to muster all his strength. But the man had died too soon.

However, he was happy that he had finally got rid of his biggest enemy.

Anne's heart broke into a thousand pieces. She closed her eyes, trying to think of anything else other than picturing Kevin falling off the cliff.

However, part of her believed that her husband was still alive.

Anne opened her eyes again and took a deep breath to regain her composure. She picked up the piece of glass again and said, "I want to go back to A City!"

She wasn't asking for Kim's permission but only telling her decision.

The muscles on Kim's face tightened.

Anne put the glass fragment back into her mouth. A moment later, she squeezed her eyes shut as blood trickled from the corner of her lips.
