Chapter 404 The Necklace

The surprise genuinely moved her.

Originally, the plan was for Kevin to legitimately divorce then remarry her. She didn't expect that he
would change the plan on his own. But of course, Anne knew that he only did this because he loved
her so much!

In the end, he didn't want to truly terminate their marriage!

"Ha-ha…" Coldly, Kim laughed and slowly loosened her grip on Anne's shoulder. He arrogantly stepped
forward and looked straight into Kevin's eyes. "Anne loves me now, Kevin. What's the point of playing
these tricks?"

The condescending man was getting on Kevin's nerves. He was about to lose his temper. He squinted
his eyes and said, "Kim, is it really okay for you to deceive yourself? Does she really like you? Who's
the one she sincerely loves with all her heart? Do you really not know?

You said you loved her, but you drugged her to change her mind. Do you really think you can use such
medicine to control her forever? You should be aware how much Anne would hate you when the drug's
effect wanes off, right?"

With narrowed eyes and clenched fists, Kim couldn't help but look at Anne worriedly.

The two men's exchange made Anne rest her forehead on her hand. "After I went back, Kevin kept
telling me that you injected me with a drug. However, in this world, what kind of medicine could possibly
change a person's mind? How can I believe such a ridiculous story?"

All of a sudden, Kim burst into laughter. Indeed, how many people were aware of the existence of this
drug? Anne didn't believe in it and naturally, Kevin couldn't convince her.



"How can you still think like that, Anne?" It felt like a hopeless case. Kevin's eyes were pleading as he
said, "You were really injected with the drug! And now, your mind's a mess. Come with me. I will
definitely find a way to help reverse the drug's effect!"

After saying his piece, Kevin walked past Kim and towards Anne. In a split second, Kim reached out a
hand and held him by the shoulder.

Kevin's eyes turned cold and he frowned at the interruption. Meanwhile, Kim was squinting at him with
a murderous glint in his eyes. He looked at Kevin as if he was a dead man.

"I'm still here, Kevin. Don't dare to get too close!"

"Kim, I should've told you before. Anne is still my wife so she should be with me. Now get out of my
way and let me take her home. This way, I will keep you alive. Otherwise…" The sentence didn't need
to be finished. Kevin's vicious look in his eyes was enough to explain everything.

A man had his dignity, and his wife was the limit. Kim had already trampled on Kevin's limit by
insistently keeping his wife!

When a person reached their limit, what could they not do?

Grimly, Kevin narrowed his eyes. Kim smiled and slowly took a step back.

Resorting to threats?

It was ridiculous. In this life, only he could threaten others. No one else was able to threaten him except
for Kevin. He was the first one to do so!

"I wanted to keep you alive Kevin, but now that seems pointless. You want to take Anne back, right?
Well today, I would have to tell you that you shouldn't even think about it. For the next days, you better



watch your back whenever you go to and from work. You might come across a knife that would stab
your heart!" Menacingly, Kim smiled.

The explicit threat made Anne frown. Kim was a cruel and merciless man. He could do anything he
wanted. But now that he had threatened Kevin, Kevin would be in danger.

Suddenly, the memory about Ryan resurfaced in Anne's mind. She shook her head at this.

Ryan died at Kim's hands in order to protect her. That was more than enough. No other person should
lose their life for her!

"Enough!" Just in time, Anne had shouted. It barely prevented Kevin from swinging his fist at Kim's
face.

Both men instantly looked at Anne who looked gloomy and impatient.

"You're both fighting for me, but you've never asked for my opinion. What do you take me for? Am I
your toy? Just because you both like something, you two are fighting for it? Do you even respect me?
Do you know what I'm thinking?" Visibly upset, Anne ranted loudly.

The two men frowned at what they heard. They looked at each other still with murderous looks.

It was clear for them both. Even if they couldn't fight right there and then, they would do it somewhere
else. One of them was destined to die!

"Kevin, listen carefully. I don't like you. I hate you! I feel disgusted whenever I think about our past. The
person I want is Kim. I didn't see how good he was before but now I'm sure of it. I know it!

The divorce doesn't matter. Regardless of my identity, Kim wouldn't dislike me, and I won't abandon
him. Now, please leave!" After her speech, Anne walked in front of Kim to protect him from Kevin. Her
expression was very cold.



With a frown, Kevin stared hard at Anne. He knew she was just pretending but the words still hurt him
nonetheless.

"Anne…" There was a hint of panic in his voice. He shook his head and said, "Anne, don't say that.
You're just a little confused right now. When the drug's effect is over, you will have your old thoughts
and feelings back. You hate me now but that only means that you love me. You truly love me very
much. Also, have you forgotten our children? Sally, Eddy, and Simon are your children. Are you really
going to abandon them? Don't you miss them anymore?"

The children's names evoked some nervousness in Anne. She frowned but Kim quickly intervened. "It's
okay Anne. We'll have a child in the future."

After hearing those words, Anne turned around and gently smiled at him. Then, she looked back at
Kevin with disgust. Rudely, she said, "The reason why I bore those children was because your
bloodline needed to be extended!

When I gave birth to Eddy, I had no other choice but to do so. Then Sally and Simon were born to save
Eddy. Now that I have completed my task, I have nothing to do with them anymore. In the future, Kim
and I will have our own child and I will never see your children again!

I don't belong to you Kevin. I belong only to Kim. Besides, I have pushed Cherry to you again. She's
the woman you should marry. Only her can give you genuine happiness!"

It was very satisfying for Kim to hear those words. Haughtily, he looked at Kevin who was in so much
pain. Then, Kevin grabbed Anne's hand and said, "There's no point in talking now. Just come with me!"

His other hand grabbed Anne's arm and stopped her.

Turning around, Kevin frowned at Kim who was holding on to Anne.



The one who Anne had set her heart on would be the one who won. Now, it was obvious that this was
Kim's victory.

With a smug smile, Kim looked at him and shook his head slightly. "Kevin, don't you understand? I'm
the one Anne loves, and she won't ever come with you. Now, I need you to let go of the person I love,
or you will never be able to get out of AS Group's gate!"

"Ha-ha…" The threat made Kevin sneer. "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Confidently, Kim just smiled in response.

On the other hand, Anne increasingly became afraid of the threats coming out of Kim's mouths. She
didn't know how many people he had in A City. She had to protect Kevin as much as she could.

"Kevin, Kim'' not just threatening you. He's telling the truth. For your children and your troublesome
mother, you better leave us as soon as possible!" Then, she shook off Kevin's hand and stood beside
Kim.

With a victorious smile, Kim held her in his arms and defiantly stared at the frowning Kevin.

Peter held his head feebly as he sat on a chair. Kevin had a high status in A City. If he was beaten
inside the AS Group, the company would definitely suffer a lot!

The two of them were desperately fighting for a woman but what did that have to do with AS Group?

Without further delay, Peter called the security guards to carefully take Kevin away.

The war that began violently had ended in silence.

Secretly, Anne breathed out a sigh of relief. She looked up at Kim who was frowning and looked lost in
his thoughts.



"Hey, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Anne gently asked as she held Kim's hand.

The questioning spurred him back into his senses. He looked down at Anne and frowned towards her
neck. In her surprise, Kim touched her necklace.

In an instant, Anne's face became as pale as a paper. Still, she pretended to be calm.

"Anne? Are you okay? Why do you look so awful all of a sudden?" Kim prodded gently.

Shaking her head, Anne slightly sighed, and pretended to be annoyed. "I thought I was already free
from Kevin but now I realized that I'm still his wife!

Kim, I'm sorry. I thought I could marry you without any restrictions. I didn't expect for this to happen. I'm
very remorseful."

Shaking his head, Kim assured her, "As long as you're with me, I don't care about anything else."

Kim was still holding and stroking the necklace though. It made Anne extremely uneasy.

Carefully, she asked, "What's wrong with you? Do you have a problem with this necklace?"

Instead of answering right away, Kim gently took the necklace off. He looked at her with shrewd eyes,
as if he wanted to see through her heart. In a neutral voice, he asked, "Who gave you this necklace?
Why do you wear it all the time? What's the point of always wearing it?"

Lowering her eyes, Anne looked at the necklace. It was actually a small eavesdropper. It hadn't been
sold in the market yet so she thought Kim wouldn't know about it, but he was a really perceptive man!

Back then, Kevin was worried that their secret would be discovered so they came up with an
explanation for it. Now, their cautiousness proved to be useful.

As the saying went, always be prepared!



Anne's voice sounded a little clueless, "Eddy gave it to me!

From the moment I chose you, I knew I had nothing to do with him but he's still my child after all.

This necklace is a gift from him. It's my only memory of Eddy."

This seemed to be a sound explanation, but Kim still raised his eyebrows and stared at the necklace in
his hand. He didn't expect that it would be a gift from Eddy. He was just a child. How could he possibly
give such a gift?
