Chapter 165 Reckless


    Garret despised Cherry. She might have had a smart look, but she was pretty reckless. Why would she


    think that Kevin would still ept her after what she had done?


    This was his way of bargaining things with her. He knew that Kevin would not want her back, and the


    rumors she started would never die down.


    Kevin and Cherry met at a sophisticated-looking coffee shop. It had these huge French windows and


    the furniture was well-made. The calm atmosphere added elegance to the establishment.


    The man sat expressionlessly across the woman who had the opposite of what he felt. She was giddy


    because it was the first time in a while that Kevin had initiated to meet her.


    "Are you here to take me home?" she asked expectantly as she held his hand.


    He frowned and pulled his hand away from her grasp.


    "Please, behave yourself," he said coldly.


    Her smile faltered and her finger started to twist the tablecloth underneath.


    "What do you mean by that?" she asked


    The look on Cherry''s face showed that she was surprised and was offended by his actions.


    "Do you think I wouldn''t find out that you nned everything out with Garret?" Kevin said in serious


    manner. "Honestly, I didn''t expect you to be this stupid. Still, I''ll show you mercy just for the sake of


    your mother who saved me. Stop it or else, you can''t me me for the things I''ll do in the future,"


    added Kevin, confronting Cherry.


    The woman snickered at him. "What''s so good about Anne? Why could she manage to change your


    mind in a snap? What did she do that made you drive me out of your life that easily?"


    Tears fell from her eyes. She didn''t mind her surroundings and started to look all pitiful as she


    wallowed.


    Kevin rolled his eyes because he was well aware that this was Cherry''s way to appeal to his emotion.


    He could bear that before, but now that he found out about her true nature, he could only feel disgust.


    "You were kicked out not because of Anne but because of your wrongdoings. You even abused a child!


    Haven''t you realized that it''s your fault along?" he asked in disbelief.


    "Why do I experience these things? The only mistake I did was that I was too soft for Anne. I know why


    you decided to meet me but I won''t help you unless you make it into the public that you want to marry


    me!"


    she said without hesitation. She had been waiting for too long and she refused to wait any longer.


    The atmosphere was enveloped with awkwardness as the man kept mum at her rumbling.


    "I think you should give me an answer, Kevin," Cherry summoned up her courage and asked.


    "Aren''t you asking for too much? You must be thinking that I am not capable of doing anything to you,"


    he sneered angrily.


    "You have to wake up, Kevin! Anne doesn''t love you. She''s after your money. What you''re doing will be


    useless!" she yelled sarcastically, desperate to persuade Kevin.


    When she saw how he clenched his fist, she knew that she seeded in infuriating him. But she felt


    bad in heart.


    What she said hit the nail on the head.


    Her chest heaved violently. She thought that she had won their argument. Even if Kevin wouldn''t


    reciprocate her feelings, she believed that no one could do better than her. However, she didn''t expect


    that Anne got in between and won his heart. How could she not hate her?


    Without saying anything, he stood up and left the cafe.


    "Just wait and see, Kevin. You''re the one who forced me to do this," she whispered as the man trailed


    his way out.


    In the dead of night, a few people stayed at the VIP ward in the hospital. What happened outside could


    be clearly observed.


    The opened curtain of the room made the light outside shine in. The emitted cold light looked even


    bleaker.


    It was a lonely night, to be exact.


    Inside the hospital room, the baby continued to sleep. It seemed like he felt his mother''spany and


    he slept peacefully. He smacked his lips from time to time like he was snickering or savoring the smell


    of the milk powder that was given to him.


    His mother stayed with him all this time, unwilling to leave him even for a second.


    The moment she couldn''t hold on any longer, her eyes fluttered close and she drifted off to sleep.


    When Kevin arrived at the hospital, he saw her sleep so peacefully after the tiring day. His heart


    softened at the scene. Without further ado, he opened the documents that Daniel had sent him silently.


    The information was all about Garret. He finally realized why the man set him up. The smallpany


    that spread the rumor was established by him. Thepany only had dozens of employees and had


    no achievement. They did nothing but nder theirpetitors.


    "Got any news?"


    Kevin was startled at the sudden voice but he kept hisposure. Even without looking at it, Anne


    knew that he was reading about the recent news.


    "It''s none of your business. I''ll handle this properly," said Kevin coldly.


    Even though his response was cold, she showed an understanding smile. "Cherry must be one of the


    maniptors behind it, right?"


    He didn''t reply but she knew that her guess was right. She felt a little sad because even under such a


    situation, he still had to hide it for Cherry. All because he thought that she was not bad enough. Well, at


    least not as bad as Anne was in his heart.


    Her heart was cold and so was her breath.


    "Yes, how did you know?" He always knew that Anne was smart but not this sharp that she would be


    able to guess it right away.


    "Well, Of course, I would know. She''s only good at acting like it but she is never a good person. The


    reason why she nned all of this is because she wants toe back to you. She asked you to tell me


    that you don''t like me and at the same time, she wanted you to tell everyone that she is the one you


    really love, and I am the third party who ruined your love for each other. Am I right?"


    She smiled sadly at him.


    She didn''t expect him to be this responsible. For her, as long as he was the father of the child and he


    was willing to recognize him, that would be fine.


    She was also surprised at how she could still care for the man.


    After all, she had loved him before.


    Still, she refused to show her weak side. All for her pride, she stood there like a hard and indestructible


    rock; like the stars that were far and cold.


    Kevin waspletely irritated by her words. He didn''t know that her mind worked like this.


    "Anne…" he whispered as his self-esteem seemed to go down its lowest point.


    "What? Are you embarrassed about it? I neither care about what others think of me nor expect you to


    take care of me. We have nothing to do with each other. All you need to do is take care of the child."


    Anne refused to give in. For the sake of her child, she would never betray her principles.


    "You''re being unreasonable!" he shouted angrily.


    Out of anger, he pushed her aside and walked out.


    He trailed the darkness and deste night that weed him.


    The morning arrived and the rush hour caused a traffic jam along the road. Thetest news about the


    jewelryunched by the AN Group was broadcasted on the big mall screens.


    Another breaking news came. Cherry appeared in the center of the big screen and intended to look


    haggard on it.


    She appeared without any make-up on with dark circles under her eyes that made her look older.


    In just a snap, everyone sympathized with her and used Kevin of being ruthless and cold while they


    called out Anne for being shameless.


    When he saw the big screen, a smirk appeared on his face. He sat there proudly as if he had


    something under his sleeves.


    "Good day everyone! We are the special reporters of LD magazine. We have some juicy news right


    under our wings." The screen switched to Eve, the most famous fashion expert in the world.


    He was the idol of manymentators because of his fairness and sharpness when it came to fashion.


    When he appeared, everyone became excited.


    "Hey, it''s Eve! Let''s listen to whatever hisments on Kevin."


    Soon enough, people gathered and their sole focus was on Eve.


    To everyone''s disappointment, he didn''t talk about Anne or Kevin. Instead, he talked about the matters


    regarding Garret and Cherry.


    "Hello everyone! I have something to tell you regarding this rumor. This kind of news was never my cup


    of tea. However, someone did get too far. I''ve found out that the news where Kevin and Cherry


    appeared was made by Garret''spany. The reason why she was driven out of the Fu Family was


    because she mistreated Kevin''s child. Furthermore, I found out that Cherry had an affair with Garret.


    This is a piece of relevant information."


    After that, Eve showed a few photos of intimate contact between Cherry and Garret at the YS Hotel.


    "From the looks of it, they did have an inappropriate rtionship. Is it true that Cherry had a bad


    character and she was punished for it but then decided to collude with Garret to frame Kevin? If that''s


    the case, then isn''t she a terrible woman?" Everyone started to talk about it.


    In the GD Building, Garret and Cherry watched the news. They didn''t know that they had been targeted


    for a long time. The news showed the whereabouts of their meetings and all their inappropriate actions.


    It just came in time and turned the tables. It seemed that the one who operated all this was clever than


    them.


    In just a snap, everyone who showed their sympathy towards her was gone. All their emotions and


    efforts were in vain.


    "How did he find out?" Cherry asked in disbelief.

    Disappointment overwhelmed her disheveled form. Her yellowishplexion apanied by


    unkempt hair made her look like a woman in her forties.


    "How would I know? You''re the one who met with Kevin in private! What did you tell him?!" He


    immediately refused to take responsibility.


    "How could you be so shameless and use me like that? We schemed against Kevin together. Why


    would I leak our secret?" she shouted in disgust towards his denial.


    "Why wouldn''t you? You couldn''t ept the fact that you were kicked out, so you begged me to help


    you and allured me with your beauty. Now our secret is exposed and I finally see your true colors."


    Upon saying that, he smirked shamelessly seeing how surprised she was hearing him.
