Chapter 449 Emily Was Pregnant


    Anne and Kevin looked at each other with gloomy eyes, trying to find sce in each another. However,


    after their interaction, they felt even more helpless.


    ''What would propel a father to do this?'' they thought to themselves, in search of an answer. ''Why would


    he let his son endure a few more dreadful years in prison?''


    The real question was what had really happened between them. What was the reasoning behind the


    father choosing to let his son suffer in prison for a few more years while he was getting on for seventy?


    Much to the couple''s chagrin, the man in question kept silent, so Anne and Kevin were unable to figure


    out the cause.


    "I just can''t let it go." Her pleading eyes travelled all the way up to her husband''s face. She felt weak


    and vulnerable.


    Kevin smiled and nodded in agreement. Indeed, Anne was right. However, the old man was so


    stubborn that they had no other choice but to ept it.


    "We are unfamiliar with W City and, you know, we can''t take care of him. It just seems that this is our


    fate. We can''t do anything about it." Anne shook her head. She couldn''t face the horrible truth.


    Kevin gave up trying to console her, so he chuckled and lowered his eyes. He figured everyone had


    their own destiny. So, the only thing he wanted was to be in control of their own lives and carry on


    without regrets.


    After they came back to the hotel, Anne and Kevin packed their luggage and realized that they had


    more things than expected.


    Therefore, her hand rested nervously on her forehead, as she was trying to find a solution. Since they


    had purchased so many things at the mall, they had no choice but to figure out a way of taking all theText property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    things with them.


    "Should we just let the hotel send the package back?" Kevin suggested the idea given their current


    situation. He shed Anne a small smile in a bid to convince her.


    In the end, this was the only possibility, so Anne nodded in agreement.


    Late at night, when the couple was about to fall asleep, Kevin''s phone suddenly rang. He woke up and


    immediately looked at the number, but he couldn''t help raising his eyebrows in surprise.


    "It''s sote. What''s up?" Kevin whispered in a soft voice, as he was checking up on Anne who was


    curling up in his arms.


    "I''ve thought long and hard about it and I''ve decided I can''t hide this from you anymore. It''s time for me


    to tell you the truth. I''ve reached a certain age and when my timees, I will feel ashamed for not


    facing the consequences of my actions," said the old man with incredible calm.


    Anne had held her breath during the man''s long speech, but her eyes lit up at the realization. The old


    man was finally willing to tell them the truth.


    It was safe to say that she was extremely excited to hear it.


    Kevin put the old man on speaker phone and his voice was now much louder on the other side. "You


    have to know that my injury was caused by none other than Abel!"


    Anne and Kevin frowned at each other in disbelief. In the end, although they had already guessed it, it


    turned out to be Abel.


    Unfortunately, the news didn''t surprise them.


    Every time Anne and Kevin met with him, they had this recurring feeling that the old man''s wound had


    something to do with Abel. Nevertheless, they couldn''t say anything about the topic, since he was the


    old man''s child. But now the truth was out.


    ''Abel is such an asshole!''


    Anne cursed internally.


    "But there is a reason behind his actions!" The old man sighed heavily and resumed his speech. "Did


    you already know Abel is a street gangster? My wife and I have been trying to persuade him to leave


    this awful life, but he won''t listen to us. Due to his unruly behavior, my wife was pissed off and passed


    away and I can''t control everything he does. I have no say in his actions! What''s more, I''m going to die


    soon. I''ve given up. Abel can do whatever he wants.


    He has never been as bad as this. At least for so many years, he had neverid a finger on me!


    But this time, the situation is different!" The sadness of the old man''s voice was palpable. He couldn''t


    help but sigh heavily after letting it all out.


    "Kim, namely Cory from the AS Group, is a gangster. Even though this is a legal society, this man can


    get rid of anyone who gets in his way!


    For instance, Kim once threatened Abel that he really wanted to kill him! How dare we provoke such a


    person? So, we had no other choice but to follow Kim''s orders.


    He ordered us to deal with you. But, in the midst of desperation, Abel had to find someone to hit me, so


    that I could me all of this on you!


    Unfortunately, we don''t know what his true intentions are. What is the deal between you and him?


    Anyway, all I can say is that, for the sake of my son''s life, I had to listen to Kim!" In the end, the old man


    felt there was no way out of this situation.


    Abel was his only child and, although he was extremely disappointing, he couldn''t let his own son die at


    the hands of someone else.


    Thus, the whole series of events were finally exined by the man.


    Later, after listening to the old man, Anne and Kevin promised to protect Abel at all costs and to assure


    that Kim was going to pay for the things he''d done. So, without further ado, the old man hung up the


    phone, feeling a weight off his shoulders.


    Anne gritted her teeth with anger. ''Damn it, Kim!'' she cursed internally. ''He used everything he had in


    his power to distract us and disrupt our cooperation with Mr. Huang!


    How could someone like him exist?!''


    "We have to seize the opportunity and bring Kim to justice! He must rot in prison!" Anne eximed


    angrily at Kevin while firmly gripping his shirt.


    It was true that Kim had gone too far this time. In fact, he really believed he could get away with


    anything! Without any repercussion!


    This person was rotten to the core. It was impossible to find any trace of humanity in his heart.


    Kevin nodded slightly and held Anne tightly in his arms to ease her impotence. Without letting her go,


    his eyes were fixated on the wall, lost in thought.


    Indeed, they couldn''t indulge Kim any more. The time hade to set things straight with him.


    "So, we''re going to stick to the original n. We''ll go back to A City first thing in the morning." Then,


    Kevin softly kissed his wife''s forehead and slowly drifted off.


    Even though he had fallen asleep, her eyes didn''t move away. But, Anne sighed helplessly and figured


    she couldn''t fight sleep any longer.


    The next morning, the couple boarded the flight to A City.


    When Kevin and Anne arrived in the afternoon, Emily and Sam had already been waiting eagerly to


    pick them up.


    As soon as she saw them, Anne seemed very happy, but the feeling quickly vanished.


    "Hey, easy! Don''t hug her so hard!" Sam immediately shouted nervously when he witnessed the scene


    between the twodies.


    The neers were left a bit confused. Anne''s body froze and slowly released Emily. Then, she


    looked back at Sam with shock. At the same time, Kevin was also giving him a weird look. Since she


    was sitting next to her husband, Emily couldn''t help but lower her head slightly.


    Under everyone''s expectant gaze, the corners of Sam''s mouth slowly curved upwards. Then, he raised


    his eyebrows and decided to give his friends a great surprise. "Emily is pregnant!"


    It was safe to say that Anne and Kevin were bbergasted. Both of them looked at the pregnantdy


    with their mouths open. How did this happen so fast?


    Emily''s face was as red as a tomato. But a shy voice could be hearding from her direction. "We


    found out just a month ago!"


    Her period had always been regr, but it was dyed this month. Emily just tried her luck, but didn''t


    really expect it to be true. Now, she was certain that it had happened a month ago.


    "You shouldn''t be careless in the first three months!" Sam looked at Emily with nervous eyes and tried


    to divert Anne''s attention from his wife.


    Anne felt anxious after their exchange, so she returned to Kevin forfort. As a witness of the


    expecting couple''s disy of affection, Kevin immediately held Anne tightly in his arms.


    "What are the chances! I''m so happy to see you here!"


    Suddenly, a grating voice could be hearding from behind. Unfortunately, everyone knew who it


    belonged to without turning around.


    Anne and Kevin refused to meet the eyes of the person. "What an unfortunate coincidence indeed. But


    we are busy, so we have to go now."


    They had nothing to talk about with Kim.


    Emily and Sam also looked at Kim dismissively and turned around without saying a word. The man


    himself, however, wasn''t offended by their actions. He rolled his eyes at them.


    In Kim''s mind, it was clear who the winner and the loser was this time around. He had thought that


    Kevin woulde up with something, but he was left really disappointed. So, now the loser had


    completely lost his chance.


    "I figured this game would be full ofpetition, but I didn''t expect it to be so simple! I have to say that


    I can''t believe that I once lost to such an opponent!" Kim shook his head in disbelief.


    However, he would never let his guard down. However it might be, Kevin''spany was going to


    be his.


    As soon as they arrived at the Fu Family''s humble abode, Anne and Kevin made a video call. When


    they finally saw Selma and the children, who were abroad, they shed their biggest smile at them.


    "Mom, Mom, can you see me? I''m here," Sally said with excitement.


    "And me, Mom and Dad, I miss you so much!" said Simon with a pout.


    "Mom, Dad, don''t worry! I''m very healthy now. The doctor said that I can have the operation a few


    yearster!" said Eddy eagerly.


    Inadvertently, the children was upset that they had to leave their parents. But now apparently, after


    finally seeing them, they had a lot to say.


    Anne and Kevin couldn''t help but smile kindly at them. After talking for a long time, Selma finally said,


    "Get rid of Kim as soon as possible. Although we are livingfortably here, there''s no ce like


    home."


    The couple nodded in agreement. Then, Kevin looked at Selma with reassuring eyes. "Mom, don''t


    worry, okay? I have a n. I won''t let Kim win. When we defeat him atst, Anne and I will pick you


    up."


    Therefore, Selma nodded with satisfaction and hung up the video call.


    Anne looked at her husband decidedly and he soon nodded knowingly. Without further ado, this


    afternoon they were heading to thepany.


    When Kevin arrived at thepany, he found there were actually very few shareholders at the meeting


    this time. However, the most indispensable Kim was obviously here, waiting for them.


    He looked at Kevin with a faint smile but determined eyes. "At thest shareholders'' meeting, we made


    it very clear. The person who takes thepany out of the crisis is the one who bes CEO."


    His opponent nodded and waited for him to resume his speech.


    "Mr. Kevin, you and I picked Mr. Huang as our business partner. But Mr. Huang is smart, so he


    obviously chose to cooperate with me, not you here. So now I want to know who your partner is."


    Now, they were fighting to see whose partner was the strongest.


    However, and much to Kim''s surprise, Kevin shrugged and said, "I don''t have a partner."


    This was all very clear to his opponent.


    "Then this seat belongs to me!" Kim immediately stood up and looked down at Kevin with disdain.


    This had been a simple race to the top!


    Did it really turn out to be this easy to get this position? Kim was unhappy. He looked at Kevin''s seat


    and frowned. He didn''t want to get the top job this way.


    "If you want thepany so bad, just take it. I don''t care." Kevin smiled coldly and spread out his


    hands to show he wasn''t holding onto his empire.


    But Kim looked at him with disbelief. The AN Group was fruit of the two generations of the Fu Family,


    and Kevin had done everything he could to maintain it. Did it mean nothing to him now?


    Kevin stood up decidedly, while ignoring the surprised expression on Kim''s face. Then, he turned on his


    heels and left the premises without anything else to say.


    Kim frowned and stared at Kevin''s empty seat. After a long time, he decided to leave the building as


    well. He figured there was something very wrong and strange. What the hell did Kevin do again? Or


    was there something much more important that he had missed?


    After leaving the AN Group, Kevin went straight to the LF Group. Although thepany had just been


    registered not long ago, it had received countless orders. Now, it was rapidly growing and, even if its


    reputation wasn''t as good as the AN Group, it had gained much influence in A City now.


    While sitting at the office, Anne tapped her fingers gently on the table, wearing a faint smile on her


    face.


    After the equity of AN Group went wrong, Kevin had already nned everything ahead. So, when Kim


    and Kevin fought for the AN Group''s CEO seat, the couple had already transferred all the business


    rtions of AN Group to LF Group and the contracts with their old partners were now all signed under


    the name of the newpany.


    At the moment, even many of the employees of LF Group came from AN Group. Much to Kim''s


    chagrin, as he was so focused on getting the top job at the AN Group, he failed to notice the existence


    of this new firm.


    Wasn''t this the cleverest n in the world? And Anne wondered how ridiculous Kim would feel about


    himself when he found out everything.
