Chapter 353 The Thirty Million Ransom (Part One)

In the face of Selma's scolding, who would dare to refute that?

Selma could not help but shake his head helplessly as she continued, "This is absurd! You only saw
several photos and then you're speculating as if you know everything!

Just so you know, it's not difficult to create a photo, especially now that we have advanced computer
technology.

What's more, even if the photos are not edited nor falsified, I'd like to ask you: Haven't you seen
anyone who has a look-alike?

What Selma had said brought more questions than answers. The paparazzi wondered why she came
out late at night only to say a confusing speech. They could not help but ponder if what Selma had said
was actually another hint.

Everyone was really puzzled. Was it not an irrefutable fact that Selma and Anne could not get along
together? What was going on now?

The crowd exchanged meaningful glances to each other. Then, a female reporter asked cautiously,
"Mrs. Selma, are you saying that Anne did not cheat on your son?"

Hearing that, Selma turned and looked at the reporter who just asked.

Her eyes were icy cold, making the reported lower her head and avert her gaze unconsciously. To her
surprise, Selma just let out a chuckle and answered, "As you all know, I've always been against my son
and Anne's marriage. Although she has already given birth to three children for the Fu Family, I still
detest her.

In fact, I have warned her before that if she does anything wrong, I will definitely kick her out!



In my defense, if that woman in the photo is indeed Anne, do you really think that I'd still allow her to
stay in the Fu Family?

Our family is influential and puissant in A City. Even though I personally don't like Anne, I won't allow
our daughter-in-law to be slandered!"

Upon saying these words, Selma turned around and left to the gate, leaving the group of reporters
looking at each other in bewilderment.

Because of her words, it was now clear to everyone that the woman in the photos was not Anne, but
someone else.

Since Anne did not cheat on her husband, Kevin, then who did Selma refer to? Were the photos
falsified? Or was it just because the woman in the photos looked exactly like Anne?

Selma's words caused a storm of gossip and speculation in the entertainment circle. Everyone was
discussing it, trying to get on the latest buzz.

Early the next day, there was a wind of change in the attitude of the people. In an instant, the rumors
changed.

According to the insider in AN Group's employees, Kevin did not get angry or aggrieved after the
photos were exposed yesterday.

That being said, who would still be calm after being cheated by one's spouse? Not only that, everyone
knew it!

Besides, everyone was aware that there was bad blood between Selma and Anne. However, it was a
shocker that Selma actually stood up and proved Anne's innocence.

What was going on?!



After a thorough human-powered search, the man in the photos was identified as Ryan Xiao.

But Ryan seemed to have disappeared from the face of Earth. Nobody could find a trace of him, not
even the employees in his company nor entertainment reporters.

Rose had not hidden herself from the public after the plastic surgery. Her photos were instantly
exposed along with Anne's rumor. Looking at the face that was exactly the same as that of Anne,
people fell into silence again.

This incident divided the netizens that paid attention to the news into two factions. One faction firmly
believed that the woman in the photo was Anne; the other believed that it was Rose.

The whole thing became complicated for a moment.

But the more complicated it seemed, the more people wanted to explore the truth.

While Anne was reading the current trending topic on the Internet, a frown formed in her lips. On the
page was Selma's revelation.

"Mom, thank you so much," Anne said softly to her mother-in-law. She looked at Selma, who was
sitting next to her and frowning at her phone, with a gentle smile.

Selma raised her head and looked at Anne with somewhat inexplicable emotion, "Don't you think I'm
kind of despicable?"

It was all her fault, but she blamed it all on Rose yesterday. No matter what happened, she was still
merciless.

Selma knew Anne enough that she guessed Anne would blame her. On the contrary, Anne thanked her
which was puzzling.



With a chuckle, Anne explained, "Mom, I know that the reason you did this was because you're worried
about me. Besides, you want to resolve this problem as soon as possible, right?"

Despite what had happened in the past, she just could not deny Selma's kindness, let alone refuse it.

Not to mention, Rose had an evil intention that she made herself look the same as her. Anne knew it
very well.

If Rose was a good person, Anne would never allow Selma to plot against her in the first place.

But the truth was,

Rose had experienced so many things in the past, yet she still could not give up Kevin. She even
underwent plastic surgery to compete with Anne for him.

It was unacceptable for Rose to spy on her sister's man like this!

So, would it be wrong if they dragged Rose into the mire?

After breathing a sigh of relief, Selma took a sip of coffee. It was good that Anne thought the same
thing.

Now, Kim was controlling Rose, but she still did not know better.

Ever since she was kicked, she had become more obedient. Not only that, the meal she was offered
was different from before.

Rose looked at her meal with a frown. It was just a serving of plain rice, and there was not even a
viand. At the sight of it, she gritted her teeth in grievance.



Since she was a child, she had been spoiled. Everything she wanted would be given to her in an
instant, except now. Never in her life had she thought that she would suffer and be in pain.

She wanted to protest, but she had already lost the right to do so. Now, Kim was avenging Anne on
her.

Under this difficult circumstance, she had no choice but to yield. Besides, what else could she do?

As she stuffed her mouth with rice, she suddenly burst into tears. Her tears of suffering fell down
uncontrollably.

"Anne, you bitch! This is all your fault!"

While Rose was moping, a shadow darkened the space in front of her. Her eyes widened, and her body
trembled. She slowly looked up, and her face turned pale in an instant.

It was Kim.

His eyes were narrowed dangerously as he looked at her with an unfriendly expression. Rose's body
shook in fear, and her palm ached at the sight of him.
