Chapter 514 Lure The Tiger Out Of Its Den (Part One)
What else should she worry about? Why did she have to tolerate everything they did? Actually, she was not afraid of anything the moment the photos were leaked.
Cherry grabbed the pillow on the sofa and hit Luke on the head, much to the latter's surprise. Obviously, he didn't expect her to be so bold.
"Cherry, what are you doing?! Aren't you afraid that I will tell others your secret?" he shouted. His wounds hadn't healed yet, and although the pillow was soft, it still hurt a little. So, Luke couldn't help but roar with anger.
Beside them was Alan, who watched the two with a faint smile while a trace of satisfaction flashed at the corners of his mouth. He had expected such a scene. After all, he was the one who tipped off the reporters about the news.
"The reporters have taken pictures of the three of us, and my image is about to be destroyed. Do you think I still care about these things?" shouted Cherry crazily while hitting Luke. Then, she continued, "If you destroy me, do you think I'll let you go easily? Huh! In your dreams! I'll drag you to the pits of hell with me!"
Luke gritted his teeth, grabbed the pillow from her, and threw it heavily onto the floor. The next second, Cheery burst into tears. She had worked so hard to take good care of her image. But all of it smashed in a blink of an eye. Just like that, she was no longer the glamorous star like she was before.
Seeing her reaction, Luke instantly frowned. He then looked at Alan inquiringly only to find that the brute was sitting there and laughing, obviously enjoying this situation. "Why are you still laughing? Why don't you think of a way?" the former asked furiously.
Taken aback, Alan cleared his throat. "Now that things have come to this state, what else can I do?"
The only purpose he fled back to the country was to destroy Cherry. Now that he had personally seen her in pain, there was no way he would help her out of this mess.
Alan wondered if the accident had damaged Luke's brain that he became this stupid.
Meanwhile, Anne and Kevin were trying to comfort Ella, who was still wearing a long face. But the kid could only feel lighter once she saw Colin.
However, Colin had disappeared, and they had no idea where to find him.
After Kevin came back, he made use of all his connections to look for Kim. But the bastard seemed to have disappeared from the world, leaving no trace at all. It was as if what Anne witnessed that day were all illusions. If it were not for the fact that the corpse of the thief was left behind, she would really believe it was a hallucination.
Just then, Rose called to ask if the fashion show of the company will proceed as scheduled.
Only then did it dawn to Anne that since the LF Group's establishment, their performance had been exemplary, especially their clothing line. So, to repay the new and old customers, their company organized a fashion show.
It was to be held the day after tomorrow.
"Of course, we will do it as planned," Kevin, who was beside Anne, answered indifferently.
Turning around, the latter responded to Rose on the phone, "Everything will proceed as scheduled."
As soon as Rose confirmed it, she quickly hung up the phone and began to prepare all the things needed for the event.
Meanwhile, Kevin took a sip of water and went on casually, "We are in the light while our enemy is in the dark. A City is neither big nor small, so we should lure the tiger out of its den and watch it meet its demise."
As they stayed inside all day long, Kim had no chance to get close to them. So instead, he hid in the dark, waiting for his enemy to sneak out so he could strike.
Anne nodded at Kevin, obviously agreeing with what the latter said.
"Ella has been in a sour mood these days. Why don't we take her out for some fun?" she suggested, gazing upstairs. She saw Ella sitting on the rocking chair, lost in thought, seemingly like a doll without a soul. And for Anne, it was heartbreaking to see her like this.
At first, Kevin didn't want to take the child out. However, after seeing the expression on Ella's face, he nodded his head.
They took Ella out, while the other children still stayed at home.
"Mom, will dad really come back?" Ella suddenly asked while on their way to the LF Group.
Nodding, Anne confirmed, "Ella, you must trust your dad!"
Hearing this, the little girl was instantly encouraged that she acquiesced confidently. Yes, she must trust her father! She firmly believed he would never lie to her and would definitely come back!
When they arrived, Kevin held Ella in his firm arms, just like how Colin used to.
Suddenly, the little girl was moved, and a drop of her tear fell down on Kevin's neck. Subconsciously, the latter frowned but held Ella more tightly.
'Colin, where the hell are you? Don't you know that your daughter misses you very much? You bastard, how can you make your daughter cry?' Kevin complained in his heart.
"Ella, don't cry," He patted the kid on the back gently.
Ella nodded her head obediently and tried to hold back her tears, but her big, beautiful big eyes were still red.
Meanwhile, Anne heaved a deep sigh as she watched this sad moment.
Soon, they met up with Rose, who had been very busy preparing the show. A look of surprise was painted on her face, as she was not expecting to see Anne here. So, grabbing the latter's hand, she asked worriedly, "Why are you here? Why didn't you just stay at home? What if Kim finds out?"
With that, she turned to Kevin with dissatisfaction and continued scolding, "Anne may not know how serious the matter is. Will you only realize the severity of the situation when something terrible happens?"
Judging from her tone, Rose sounded like an elderly who was reprimanding a young couple. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Because of this, Anne couldn't help laughing. Shaking her head helplessly, she poked Rose's forehead and said with a smile, "You silly girl! Don't you know who is older and younger here? Why are you blaming me instead?"
