The tiredness he felt from everything that happened the whole day gradually faded away as he smelled her hair.
"Anne, I will do everything to protect you. Trust me," he said gently into her ear.
Hugging his waist, she nodded slightly.
She knew that Kevin would find a way to resolve all this because she trusted him, but wasn't Ryan the root of it all?
If only Ryan could take a stand and tell everyone the truth, they would be able to think of a solution that would solve this matter perfectly.
"I can't find Ryan. His phone is turned off, and when I went to his company to look for him, they said they have not seen him for a while," Kevin said with a sigh, feeling hopeless.
He let go of Anne and looked at her face, kissed her gently on the forehead, and said, "I was looking for Ryan the whole day, but I didn't find him. He just disappeared without a trace."
This is a very critical moment for everyone, and yet Ryan was nowhere to be found. What did it mean?
"Ha ha..." All of a sudden, a sinister smile appeared on Anne's face. She narrowed her eyes slightly in an attempt to look fierce, but the sadness in her eyes still showed. "That day, I've made it clear to him that we would never return his property in any case. Then, the photos were exposed and at that same time, he disappeared. That cannot be just one great coincidence, don't you think?"
Kevin had experienced a lot of dirty tricks from other people in the past, so this was not new to him. That was why as soon as he heard her say this, he understood what happened.
They had already suspected Ryan once the laptop went missing, but they could not prove that it was him because they had no evidence. But now, they were finally sure that it was him who was behind all those things.
'Well, he was capable of doing it so brilliantly, and I give him credit for that.'
"He has done so much to achieve his goal, which is to get the property. Now, all we need is to calm down. I am sure he would eventually contact us." Anne was pretty sure about that.
The Fu Family was wealthy, and she was the daughter-in-law of the family, therefore she could never be a whore. Ryan should know that she would want to get rid of this title no matter what.
However, the premise of all this was that Ryan was willing to help.
But because he had disappeared, then he must have had a few more tricks behind all this!
Upstairs, Selma looked at her sad son and daughter-in-law, feeling worried.
She blamed herself. If she hadn't been so impulsive and done the wrong thing, she wouldn't have caused such a trouble now.
Now everyone outside was waiting to humiliate and laugh at the Fu Family. How could she let this happen?
"Grandma, what's happening outside?" A small voice came from behind her.
She turned around and saw Eddy. She told him, "Shush! Go back to your room!" The little boy was confused about why his grandmother shut him up and made him go back to his room.
"Kiddo, I've told you to go to bed early, haven't I? Why are you still awake?" Selma reprimanded him but there was a hint of concern in her voice. She was only worried because she must take good care of him since he was in poor health.
Eddy sat on the bed, confused.
Today, something important seemed to have happened, but everyone kept it from him and his sister, so they had no idea about any of the details.
