Chapter 452 Too Calm


    Initially, Kim wondered if something was wrong. Otherwise, how could Kevin be so confident that he


    could take him down this time? What he didn''t know was that Kevin had gathered enough evidence to


    be against him without his notice.


    Everything seemed really difficult to handle right now.


    He tightly shut his eyes to think better. It seemed that he had to make some ns in advance.


    Meanwhile, Kevin submitted all the evidence he gathered. The police station was sent into a ruckus. All


    the proofs directly proved that Cory was indeed Kim.


    They had been hellbent on catching Kim to win honor. Yet the evidence showed that Kim was around


    them all the time. They were so stupid to think that he was another man who happened to look the


    same as Kim.


    There were many people in the world, and it was true that there were people who looked the same


    because of the same DNA sequence. Yet such cases were few.


    But how could they have easily bought it and fallen for such a trick?


    Since the evidence was pointing right at all the crimes Kim hadmitted, he would definitely be


    charged and punished with death penalty. And they were right – days after the court finalized the case,


    Kim was sentenced to death.


    Everything went smoothly, and finally, Kevin and Anne had one less thing to worry about.


    Anne sat on the couch, seemingly out of her sense as Kevin talked about what happened.


    When Kevin had decided to act to get rid of Kim, she was worried. But she didn''t expect the tables to


    turn so fast that in a blink of an eye, Kim was sent to prison, where he would eventually meet his


    demise.


    It was really surprising how things could change in a heartbeat.


    "From now on, we are in real danger. So, don''t leave the house unless you have something very


    important to do. I will take bodyguards with me and increase my security. Remember, this is the most


    dangerous time. If we make any mistakes, all our efforts will be in vain," Kevin said worriedly. Anne


    gazed up at him and nodded in silence.


    Now that Kim was sentenced to death, his aplices would undeniably find an opportunity to take


    revenge on them.


    All of a sudden, Anne felt relieved. Fortunately, she and Kevin sent Selma and the children abroad


    ahead of time. Otherwise, they would be in danger if they were to stay with them.


    After Cory was sentenced to death, the AS Group was given back to Peter''s hands. Amidst all these,


    Peter sat in his office, staring at the ground with deep eyes.


    He had thought that things would get so violent between Kevin and Kim, but he didn''t expect Kevin to


    be so calm about it all. Before Kim could even sense that he was in great trouble, he had already been


    brought into police custody.


    The real threatening man was not the one who barked loudly but the one who silently sneaked around


    before he could attack fatally.


    And Kevin was that kind of perilous man. He was indeed a terrible opponent to go against with.


    However, from now on, Kevin and Anne had to face a greater challenge. Nobody knew––not even


    them––if they could ovee it.


    After some time, both Kevin and Anne exhausted all their connections to pay Kim a visit in jail.


    Sitting in front of the prison visitation window, Kim looked at them nonchntly. His eyes were void of


    any emotions as if he was not human at all.


    "We have made all the evidence against you public. There''s no escaping this time," Kevin broke the


    intense silence. Things might be easy to handle if they were kept private, but once they were made


    public, there was no way to mend them.


    Kim raised his eyebrows and stared at Kevin with a sheepish smile. "I was so sure you would die this


    time, but I didn''t expect you to move so discreetly fast.


    Not only have you made the group a shellpany, but you have even set so many traps for me. I


    thought I was one step ahead of you, but it seems that I was so full of myself. You won, Kevin."


    Having dealt with Kevin so many times, Kim had always thought that he was at the upper hand. Yet,


    the truth told him no matter what he did, Kevin was just too capable to be trapped and swindled.


    Instead, it was Kim who was in trouble now.


    "Did no one teach you not to underestimate your opponent; otherwise, you will die because of your


    arrogance?" Kevin sneered.


    As a businessman, he was used to taking risks. But being reckless while doing so was not in his


    vocabry. Meanwhile, Kim had always acted on impulse, moving audaciously and in haste.


    Both men had their own ways of doing things. Kim was very mboyant, doing things in a simple and


    brutal style. On the surface, Kevin seemed to be at a disadvantage, when in fact, thetter had already


    plotted ahead against him.


    And because Kim was dense in sensing it out, it led to this current situation––with him in prison,


    awaiting his death sentence.


    "Don''t worry. I won''t die here," Kim vowed with a hint of confidence glinting in his eyes.


    Grinning, Kevin retorted, "Let''s wait and see."


    With that, Kim broke free from the re andnded his gaze at Anne.


    Anne stared back at him, with neither of them speaking.


    Momentster, Anne finally heaved a deep sigh. She lowered her eyes and said helplessly, "Everything


    will be over."


    "If I haven''tmitted so many crimes when we met, would you choose me?" Kim asked suddenly,


    which obviously caught Anne in surprise.


    When he decided to give up on her, Anne thought she would never hear his confrontation. She knew


    he was a proud man.


    "For some things, I will never have the chance to know the answers if I don''t ask you now." Kim shook


    his head with a bitter smile while keeping his gaze at Anne firmly, evidently waiting for her response.


    "No!" Anne shook her head, and it was already enough answer to let him know that she would never


    love him.


    In an instant, Kim''s face turned cold. The way he pursed his lips, showed how very dissatisfied he was.


    "Kim, do you know what love is?" Anne asked softly as she stared into Kim''s eyes.


    Because he wasn''t expecting this question from her, Kim was utterly stunned.


    "People are meant to love only one person deeply. Before I met you, I had already fallen in love with


    Kevin. So, no matter how good you are to me or how decent you could have been, I still couldn''t love


    you. That''s because my heart already belonged to Kevin." Anne sighed heavily and added, "I owe you


    a ''thank you'' for loving me.


    But loving someone does not mean you can possess her! If you truly love that person, you must be


    willing to let her go if she doesn''t have feelings for you.


    Her happiness should be something you would care about, even if that meant setting her free. That''s


    what real love is!"


    Kim shook his head slightly as he lowered his eyes, obviously not epting Anne''s exnation. Then,


    tapping his legs with his slender fingers, he replied disdainfully, "What nonsense are you talking about?


    If you love someone, shouldn''t you do whatever it takes to be with her? Shouldn''t you fight for her till


    death?"


    Upon hearing that, Anne was caught tongue-tied and didn''t know what to say. She signed helplessly.


    "Those whose courses are different cannoty ns for one another," as the saying went. They were


    just too different from each other.


    Meanwhile, Kevin held her hand, ignoring Kim. And as thetter watched them, he slowly tightened his


    knuckles.


    His death sentence might have already been finalized, but he still had time before the execution. And


    before that, he wanted to see Anne and Kevin go to hell. Since he was about to die, he might as well


    drag them both with him!


    It didn''t matter whether he was cruel or crazy, as long as the two would be as miserable as he was!


    Smiling deviously, Kim stood up slowly and walked back into his cell.


    Anne slumped on the sofa as soon as they got home. A servant immediately brought her a cup of tea.


    "How do you feel?" she asked Kevin after taking a sip on the cup.


    Today, they visited Kim with the mere intention of getting some clues if he was really nning


    something.


    But after seeing how calm he looked against that visiting window, both of them were even more


    confused.


    It seemed that Kim had finally epted his fate. But Anne and Kevin knew that his aplices would


    not let him die just like that. So, what was Kim nning then?


    Kevin sighed heavily and furrowed his brows in utter confusion.


    Indeed, Kim was too calm this time, as if he had finally epted defeat.


    But how was that possible? How could Kim let himself stay locked up in prison?


    Anne and Kevin were sure that the man was plotting something while locked up in his cell. They hadn''t


    thought of it yet, but they were afraid that if they wouldn''t do something quick, it might be toote for


    them.


    "I don''t exactly know what he is nning to do, but the calmer he is, the more dangerous he gets,"


    Kevin uttered, massaging his temples to ease his frustration.


    Nodding, Anne thought that Kevin was right.


    "Stop thinking about it for now. Let''s just wait and see for now and n againter on." Kevin stepped


    forward and gently stroked her hair.


    Now they had made all the preparations they could. So, the only rational thing left to do was to defend


    themselves for whatever was toe.


    Later that day, the two went to the office holding each other''s hands.


    Seeing them so affectionate, the employees gathered into a circle to gossip again.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Of course, they were all envious of Anne. After all, despite the bad name she had on the inte, Kevin


    still loved her so much.


    Meanwhile, the shareholders of AN Group knew the truth––thepany had not lost anything. Kevin


    just wanted to seize the trap Kim set out for him. And now that it hade to light, the shareholders


    could not help shaking their heads and sighing.


    They all knew that as long as Kevin was there to lead thepany, there would be nothing to worry


    about. But after all that had happened, how could they face Kevin?


    Under desperation, most of the shareholders chose not to attend the general meeting.


    But Kevin didn''t care about that.


    "Should the LF Group keep running?" Anne poured a ss of water for Kevin and asked in a low voice.


    Kevin''s eyes were fixed on the document as if he had already thought about this question. "LF Group


    has entered many partnerships and deals because of me. But in terms of reputation, it is still inferior to


    the AN Group. The big clients will not choose to partner with LF Group!


    Although Kim is now in prison, I won''t be assured until I finally get rid of him.


    After he is executed, we will turn the LF Group into a subsidiary of AN Group."


    Anne nodded, happy to know that Kevin meant to keep the LF Group forever.


    "Thispany is registered under both our names. I don''t want it to get dissolved," Kevin assured with


    a smile.


    Indeed, the name of the group represented their connection. How could they let disappear it just like


    this?


    "We can develop the LF Group into a designpany so that your talent cane into y," he


    suggested, much to Anne''s surprise.
