Chapter 29


    Karen, obviously, did not have a clue about Kevin never getting second ce at school since he


    was young. He had graduated from Harvard University, which was part of the Ivy League, and that it


    only took him half the normal duration to obtain a doctorate degree from the university.


    "You must have been beaten up a lot." Karen suddenly felt upset for him." I truly don''t understand


    what you boys are thinking."


    Karen added, "When I was young, I ranked first in the entire school for all subjects, and then I was


    admitted to the most renowned university in New York at that time."


    However, she originally did not want to enroll in that school. Karen wanted to major in her favorite


    subject which was art, rather than going off to the top university in New York.


    Her biggest dream was to design the most elegant bridal gown in the world, with the aim that any


    girl could put on a bridal gown of her design and be the most beautiful bride.


    However, this dream ended the day Karen designed her own bridal gown three years ago. Since


    then, she had never picked up her brush again.


    Thinking of this, Karen looked down. The tranquil life that she finally built was suddenly rudely


    trespassed upon.


    Now she was so afraid to the point that she didn''t even have the courage to tell Kevin about her


    past.


    Karen was not sure if he would be asfortable as before if he found out the truth. But Kevin


    really didn''t care about her past, but only cared about her future.


    Karen shut her eyes and wanted to leave his arms, however when she moved, he held her firmly.


    Kevin then stated, "Karen, I am your husband."


    He had emphasized this matter more than once before, and she could not help but look straight at


    him. Under the amber light, his face was not as cold as usual but bathed with a soft light which


    made people feel at ease.


    Karen nodded and grinned. "I know."


    These four words ''I am your husband'' seemed very simple, but yet Karen understood deeply the


    meaning of his words. Even if there was no true affection, he had vouched to apany her


    through the up and downs in life.


    Not long after, Karen fell asleep in Kevin''s arms.


    She slept through the night and no longer had nightmares that usually woke her up during the night.


    She woke up promptly the next morning.


    The moment she awoke, Kevin was already sitting by the window and reading the newspaper


    carefully. When he heard her wake up, he looked up and said as usual, "You''re awake."


    For over a month, every day went by this routine. Karen had always wanted such a simple life.


    Regardless of what urs, there would always be someone by her side, living peacefully together


    and growing older together.


    She immediately sat up and grinned happily. "Director Kevin, Good morning."


    They did not mention what had happened yesterday, as though nothing had happened or perhaps it


    was just a nightmare. Everything was back to normal when they woke up from their slumber.


    At the breakfast table, Karen asked Kevin, "Are you going on a business trip today?"


    Kevin''s mouth was loaded with food. He did not answer but just shook his head.


    His daily amount of work was truly not what ordinary people could handle, however, today he had to


    deal with a project at Innovative Tech first.


    Momo barked a couple of times to draw the attention of her "mother". Momo was very dissatisfied


    fromst night till this morning because she felt she was being neglected.


    Karen picked the dog up and rubbed its face. "I forgot to buy you something deliciousst night. I''ll


    get it for you today."


    The dog made a few simple sounds, meaning that it forgave its mother.


    Kevin put down his cutlery and looked over. He narrowed his eyes slightly. There was only one


    thought in his mind and it was that this little white dog was really annoying!


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Karen was reluctant to take Kevin''s car to work, so Kevin did notpel her. They arrived at the


    company one after another.


    It was morning on a workday, so many colleagues were already waiting for the elevator. When they


    saw Kevin walking over, everyone looked over and greeted him, "Director Kevin!"


    "Alright." Each time Kevin nodded coldly, he beckoned for Amelia and Nick to follow him into the


    elevator reserved for senior management, leaving the others behind coldly.


    As soon as Kevin had left, everyone began to discuss, "Wow, why do I feel that Director Kevin is


    getting more and more handsome?"


    Someone replied, "I felt that Director Kevin nced at me just now. I was so excited."


    Another person stated, "Who do you think is Director Kevin''s wife? What sort of charm does she


    have that Director Kevin likes her and even married her?"


    Someone answered, "I think she must be extremely beautiful and elegant. Perhaps she is a young


    lady from a renowned family. Anyway, she is definitely not one of our colleagues."


    Karen listened to their conversation, everyone was discussing more gossip about Kevin. No one


    mentioned the incident of her hitting a member of the Gook family on the head, and that she had


    been arrested and locked up in the police station for a long time.


    This surprised her, yet after thinking carefully, she finally understood what was happening.


    Charlie would not help her hide from such a scandal so easily, hence it must have been Kevin who


    had done it.


    It was true that Kevin was the director of Innovative Tech, however Innovative Tech was nothing


    compared to the Gook family. If it were Charlie who had assaulted Kevin, Kevin probably wouldn''t


    even get an opportunity to retaliate.


    It was not that she did not believe in Kevin''s abilities, however, she knew too well about the power


    and ways of both the Gook family and Charlie.


    Thinking of this, Karen took a deep breath. Anyway, she needed to figure out how to prevent Kevin


    from getting involved in this matter.


    Karen was worried when her cell phone received a new message. She opened it and saw a simple


    sentence to appear, "Work hard. I''ll handle everything else."


    After reading the text message, Karen held on to the phone subconsciously, as though she could


    feel the energy Kevin had given her.


    Aftering to the office, Karen learned that Star Glow Corporation had canceled their deal with


    Innovative Tech, and it was because they had found out that Innovative Tech had used unfair


    connections to secure the deal.


    Sure enough, she knew that Charlie would never surrender, however, she didn''t expect him to make


    his move so quick.


    The colleagues from the sales department looked at Karen strangely. Other colleagues may not


    have known that she went over to Star Glow Corporation yesterday, but the staff from the sales


    department knew it.


    Perhaps someone already knew that she had injured the young master of the Gook family, so they


    all stared at her viciously as if she hadmitted a sin.


    Karen had faced worse,pared to their staring eyes, which grew increasingly fierce and


    terrifying, so it was not enough to scare her.


    May kicked her desk and a chair rolled over to Karen''s side. "Karen, what happened yesterday?"


    Karen pursed her lips and smiled. "Is there anything wrong?"


    "Karen, we are colleagues, close friends. Even if you prefer not to tell the others, you can let me


    know. I promise I won''t tell anyone." May leaned toward Karen''s ear and asked in a soft tone,


    "Didn''t you talk to Manager ck about the new project yesterday? Why did they unexpectedly quit


    working with us?"
