Chapter 511 Panic


    Kevin loved his family and attached great importance to them. Anne wasn''t surprised to see Sam have


    come.


    The man looked flushed as he got out of the car. His body visibly rxed when he saw the bodyguards.


    Anne smiled reassuringly and gestured him toe in. "Let''s go to the study."


    Sam nodded and followed her.


    The moment they stepped into the study, Sam finally asked, "Anne, are you sure that Kim is still alive?"


    The desperation was evident in his voice.


    Kim was a nightmare for them. Even Sam had fallen prey to his vindictive acts -- the man had almost


    killed him.


    No one could believe that he was still alive.


    Everyone''s attention was fixed on Kim back then after he was captured. The superior officers were


    determined to execute their operation. No mistake was likely to happen. Moreover, Kevin had been


    following this matter all the time to make sure that he wouldn''t escape.


    However, Kim had managed to escape under everyone''s watchful gaze.


    His ability to sneak out without getting caught had taken people by surprise.


    Anne took a deep breath and nodded. The memories of the past shed in her mind. "That was Kim. I


    am very sure about it!"


    Sam''s face darkened.


    Kim was back from the dead, yet Kevin couldn''t return home. Moreover, Colin was missing. It didn''t


    seem like a mere coincidence. Even Sam sensed that Kim was behind everything. He had nned all


    these to distract them.


    Back then, the police had captured Kim, intending to destroy his forces and allies. He must have


    incurred severe losses. Sam couldn''t estimate his remaining power and what he was capable of doing


    now. But he realized that eliminating his force altogether was an impossible task. The man would find a


    way out regardless of how rigorous the investigation was.


    Although the police forces had managed to weaken him, Kim''s abilities were beyond their


    comprehension. They shouldn''t underestimate him.


    The man''s anger would be at its peak now, for they had tested his limits.


    He would want to take his revenge. They were in danger again and had to be cautious at all times.


    "Sam, Emily is going to give birth to the baby soon. We have enough guards to take care of us. You


    stop worrying and take good care of Emily. Your wife needs you now. You have got to protect yourself


    and your family," advised Anne.


    Sam had yed a significant role in capturing Kim. Therefore, he, too, was in danger. The man would


    target him as well as his family.


    Sam nodded in understanding. Things would have been different if he were single. But Emily was


    pregnant with his baby; he had to protect them at all costs.


    He couldn''t neglect his family to take care of Anne and her children.


    "Well, it''s very safe here. We won''t leave the house, so nothing will happen to us. You better go home


    and take care of Emily. We will get through this." Anne was worried about Emily. She wouldn''t forgive


    herself if Kim used the situation to his advantage and assaulted Emily when Sam was here.


    Kim was a despicable man. He would do anything.


    Sam agreed and walked out of the study with Anne. Before leaving, he stopped and turned to look at


    her. "If anything happens, call me immediately!"


    Sam didn''t bother talking about Kevin because he was in a bigger problem. The man was under


    custody and couldn''t leave the city.


    Anne had to be strong now. She had to take care of herself as well as her family.


    Anne nodded, forcing a smile. But it gradually disappeared as she watched Sam''s car leave her sight.


    She was exhausted and sick with worry. They were in a cat and mouse game. No one could guess


    Kim''s move. She leaned against the wall and looked into the distance.


    ''What are your ns, Kim? When are you going to meet me face to face?''


    Cherry went to see Luke with several bags of gifts for him.


    Since the man had the evidence to prove her guilty, she had no choice but to listen to his every word.


    Cherry was paying the price for what she had done. It was her time to suffer now.


    Luke''s family had left; he was alone in the ward. His body stiffened when he saw Cherry standing by


    the door.


    She looked up and met Luke''s icy gaze. The anger zing in his eyes sent a shiver down her spine.


    Cherry realized that she was about to sink into another abyss.


    With Andrew''s help, n was preparing to get released.


    "What are you doing there? Are you deaf? Come and get me a ss of water," Luke shouted with


    undisguised disgust.


    Cherry was stunned. People always respected her, and she was the one who usually ordered everyone


    to do things for her.


    But tables had turned now. Luke was demanding her to serve him, and she couldn''t say a word.


    Cherry took a deep breath, understanding her situation. She controlled her temper and poured a ss


    of water for Luke.


    The man nced at the ss before looking at Cherry. The woman looked prettier than he had


    imagined. But beneath the beautiful masky a vindictive personality, and Luke knew that.


    "Well, it takes a lot of time and effort for people to get to know each other and start a rtionship. But


    things were easy for us; we had an amazing night together. However, you ruined everything, Kristine. I


    didn''t expect that you would be a cruel woman who nned to kill me. I was lucky enough to escape


    the gruesome ident. Otherwise, I would have been dead."


    Cherry but her lip and looked away.


    "Things would have been easy for you if I had died. However, I''m still alive, and I''m furious now. What


    do you think I should do?" Luke asked, staring into Cherry''s eyes.


    ''I want you to fucking die!'' Cherry thought but didn''t say anything.


    "I know what you are thinking. You want to kill me, don''t you, Kristine? But I am very sorry; you got one


    chance, and you missed it. You can''t get rid of me now regardless of how much you hate me!" Luke


    took a sip of water and smirked at her. "Since you have already missed the opportunity, there will never


    be a second chance. If I die, people will find out that you were behind it. Not only that, but they will also


    find out that you had murdered n''s sister. Think about it!


    But if I am alive, I won''t hurt you as long as you satisfy me."


    Cherry pursed her lips and looked at him.


    "Kristine, you are a smart woman. I think you are aware of your situation. What are you going to do?"


    Cherry closed her eyes and sucked in a big breath. The overwhelming sense of shame drowned her,


    but she had no other choice.


    Even if Luke didn''t have the evidence to prove her guilty, if he resorted to cyberbullying, it could also


    destroy her promising career of a rising star. And what made it worse was that Luke actually could


    prove it.


    Cherry had no other choice now. She had gone through a lot in the past but she made it through. She


    could handle this too.


    When Cherry opened her eyes again, she shed a seductive smile that she had mastered over the


    years. She sat beside Luke and took the ss from his hand. "Since you are badly hurt, let me help


    you with the water."


    The sudden change in her demeanor surprised him, but he soon remembered that she was a great


    actor.


    Deep down in his heart, Luke still respected Cherry. But her performance revealed that she would do


    anything to save herself. Cherry was an attractive woman, but he hated her personality.


    Cherry smiled at Luke, oblivious to what he was thinking.


    In the prison, n crossed his legs and leaned back as a smile stretched across his lips.


    The prospect of going out in the afternoon excited him, but he also got a piece of exciting news from


    the warden.


    When n was abroad, Kevin''s men watched his every move, making it impossible to take his


    revenge. Moreover, he didn''t know anything about Kim and his connection with Kevin. However, after


    returning to A City, he found that another man harbored a grudge against Kevin and his wife, just like


    him.


    Things had taken an interesting turn because Kim was still alive -- perhaps that was what everyone


    thought.


    There was no smoke without fire. Moreover, Anne had confirmed that she had seen Kim. She was a


    smart woman; therefore, n believed her.


    Living in A City would be exciting again.


    n was eager to find out what was going to happen next.


    It was a mellow afternoon; the cool breeze swept across the city. Anne climbed up the roof, feeling


    frustrated.


    Two bodyguards had taken their position on the terrace to scan the surroundings.


    Anne was tired of staying at home all day long. Therefore, she came out to get some fresh air and be


    on her own. She instructed the guards to take a break and go downstairs, Anne closed her eyes and let


    the cool breeze y with her hair. However, nothing seemed to take off the weight that had settled on


    her heart. She sighed and raked her eyes across the streets. Her mouth popped open in shock, and


    her blood froze in an instant.


    The Fu Family''s mansion had an enormous courtyard. One could have a view of the entire street from


    the terrace. Anne saw a figure lurking in the distance.


    She squinted her eyes but couldn''t get a clear view of his face. A chill ran down her spine as she


    sensed his unique aura.


    His body stiffened at the moment. Anne knew that it was Kim.


    Although she could only see a blurry silhouette, her intuition told her that it was him.


    Anne opened and closed her mouth. She had the urge to scream and call for help. The bodyguards


    woulde to rescue her at once.


    Kim was in their vicinity.


    They might capture him as well.


    But she didn''t know if that was what she wanted.


    Kim''s return posed a threat to their lives, but the man didn''t make things difficult for her -- at least not


    yet. Anne didn''t want to make a rash move and provoke him when Kevin wasn''t around.


    She had to protect her children and keep them safe.


    Anne took a deep breath and looked away.


    Kim was a crazy man. He was perhaps watching her every move now. If the man sensed a threat, he


    wouldn''t hesitate to attack her and the children. Anne pretended as if she hadn''t noticed him.


    The safety of the children was the only thing in her mind.


    She was willing to tolerate any problem until Kevin came back to rescue her.


    Her heart was crashing in her chest. Anne frowned and looked up again. She almost squealed in shock


    as the figure in the distance had disappeared. Anne rubbed her eyes and looked again, but there was


    not a trace of anyone around as if everything had been a mere illusion.


    Anne had seen him pacing across the streets.


    She knew that it wasn''t an illusion.


    "Oh, God, no! We should be more vignt!" Anne ran downstairs, trying hard to suppress her fear.


    She bumped into Selma and looked at her anxiously. "What''s wrong? What happened?" Selma asked,


    holding Anne''s arm.


    The woman steadied herself and looked into Selma''s eyes. "This ce is not as safe as we think. We


    have to contact the police and ask them to catch Kim as soon as possible. We can''t live peacefully as


    long as he is wandering freely." Selma yelped as Anne''s hold on her arm tightened.

    A frown lined her forehead as she realized the magnitude of the problem. Only Kevin could save them


    now. But why hadn''t he returned home yet? Was he stuck in a problem?
