The more Cherry thought about it, the angrier she became. The viciousness in her beautiful eyes became increasingly obvious.
She could never accept the fact that Kevin was treating Anne better these days. Now seemed the perfect time to teach Anne a lesson.
She took out her phone and dialed Alan's number, a vicious look appearing in her eyes.
"Miss Cherry, how kind of you to remember to call," a sarcastic voice said from the other end as soon as the call was connected.
Cherry frowned in annoyance at Alan's tone. However, she told herself to bear it because she needed to use him to deal with Anne.
"Alan, what are you talking about? After all is said and done, Ruth is still my friend, and it hurts me to see her become like this." Putting on a pitiful look, Cherry acted so realistically that people who did not know her might actually think that she was really sad.
"This is all because of Anne," the man said in an angry voice. "If she hadn't pushed my sister down the stairs, she never would have become like this!"
On the other end of the line, Alan's eyes flashed with a vengeful fire, as if he wanted to skin Anne and rip her to pieces.
Cherry sneered at the man's response. Because of the man's deep-seated hatred for Anne, he would never let her go.
"I feel your anger, and it's completely understandable. Even I didn't know that Anne was such a horrible person. Not only did she place Ruth in a miserable situation, she's also trying to take away Kevin!"
Cherry sobbed in a low voice, the feigned anguish apparent in her voice.
"What a vicious woman! She even plotted against her own cousin?"
Alan hated Anne with a bitter passion, and Cherry's words riled him up even more.
"Alan, aren't you going to take revenge for what was done to your sister? If you want, maybe I can help you." With a proud sneer on her face, Cherry spoke out her innermost thoughts.
"As long as I can avenge my sister, I will do anything no matter what the cost. Miss Cherry, do you have any good ideas?"
Alan looked furious, and he seethed inwardly at the thought of his poor sister, who was left in a vegetative state because of Anne.
"Alan, I have a few ideas, but I don't know if you would dare to do any of them," Cherry said tentatively, and the hatred in her eyes flared more intensely.
"There's nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for my sister's sake. Tell me what's on your mind, and I will go along with your plan as long as it can help me avenge my sister!"
Alan was outraged at being looked down upon by a woman, but he needed to work with the woman so he did not say anything.
"Alan, you are so cool being such a good brother. This is my plan..." In detailing the plan she had prepared, she felt as if she had already triumphed as she could see the scene how Anne ended tragically in her plan and disappeared from her life forever.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the call.
Your plan is good," Alan said eventually. "But I didn't think that you were so ruthless that you would want to have your cousin killed. As the saying goes, 'one may know the face but not the heart.'"
His voice dripped with irony. Even he felt that Cherry's plan was too cruel.
Cherry's face turned cold after her plan was ridiculed by Alan.
"You can't even do that? If you don't have the guts, then forget it." After saying those words, she pretended to end the call.
"Miss Cherry, you underestimated me. As long as I can avenge my sister, it would be worth it no matter how much I have to pay." Alan's voice came through again from the other end of the call, and Cherry felt a little smug at his response.
"Okay, then it's settled."
Cherry ended the call with a malevolent smile on her face.
Soon, she would make Anne disappear from her and Kevin's sight forever. With her out of the picture, no one would dare to mess with her relationship with Kevin.
At lunch time, Anne went downstairs to find Cherry and Kevin already seated at the table. Earlier, Kevin's brows furrowed in a slight frown when he saw that Anne had yet to come down.
Soon enough, she appeared in front of them. When she saw the other two people, she looked away indifferently.
For some reason, Kevin hated it when she ignored him. Her coldness grated on his nerves.
"Why were you so late coming downstairs?" Looking at Anne sitting opposite to him, Kevin asked lightly, but his tone carried a hint of annoyance.
"I was reading a book and lost track of the time. I'll be careful next time," Anne explained calmly in order to prevent unnecessary trouble for herself.
Day in and day out, she stayed in the villa, and her activities were limited to reading. She felt she would really get bored and sick if her routine went on like this.
Her words were proper, flawless, and delivered in a tone that was neither warm nor cold. Still Kevin found himself dissatisfied with her answer.
