Chapter 536 Give Colin Back To Them (Part One)
The kids were still awake when E got home. She sat alone in front of the window, propping her chin
on her palms, staring at the sky.
E was in a better mood for the past few days, but she had not returned to being the lively, chirpy girl
she once was.
Everyone was happy to witness the change in E''s behavior. But only Colin could bring the happy girl
back to life.
"What are you doing, honey?" Anne asked, standing behind E.
"I miss my father," answered the little girl without thinking.
A wave of guilt consumed Anne. E would never forgive her if she got to know that she was the
reason why her father had gone missing. How could Anne face the little girl if she med her for
Colin''s severed finger?
Would E forgive her if she found out the truth?
Or would she lose the little girl the moment Colin came back?
E turned around and saw Anne staring at her feet. She got off her chair and ran toward her. She
studied Anne''s face and realized that the woman was upset. "Mom, are you all right?"
Anne knelt down in front of the little girl and shook her head. E''s angelic face made her smile. She
took a deep breath and said, "Our detective called back to inform us that he has found more clues
about your father''s whereabouts. We will find him in a few days. You are going to meet your father
soon."
However, deep down in her heart, Anne was afraid that E would hate her.
"Great! That''s great!" E threw herself into Anne''s arms and rubbed her nose against her cheek. "Dad
is going toe back to me. I miss him so much. I won''t let him go on business trips anymore. I will
make sure he is with me at all times."
Tears trickled down E''s cheeks and soaked Anne''s dress.
The little girl almost lost her father once and wasn''t ready to lose him again. E was afraid that the
same situation would ur again. Colin was all she had. She would never leave his side again.
"Shh... it''s okay." Anne continued to stroke E''s backfortingly. "Don''t cry. Otherwise, your eyes
will swell up. Your dad will be worried if he sees you like this."
Hearing that, E immediately let go of Anne. She wiped her tears and shook her head fiercely. "You
are right, Mom. Dad doesn''t like me crying."
Anne smiled, shaking her head. She couldn''t help but feel sorry for the poor girl.
Kim would lose his mind if they saved Colin. Who would be his next target be?
Although Kim was a gangster, he lived in a society ruled byw. He would think twice before making his
next move.
Anne''s face turned pale as she looked out of the window.
Kim was just like the night sky. However, just like how the sun dissipated the darkness and illuminated
the world at dawn, they could defeat Kim if they managed to find the light.
The confusion in Anne''s mind dispersed. She knew what to do now. The man was trying to frighten her.
Therefore, she wouldn''t ept Kim''s offer. Anne decided to tell everything to Kevin. They could be
extra cautious and protect themselves from the dangerous man.
Once she made up her mind, Anne nodded and went to the study.
Kevin was sitting on the chair, looking at the documents. But his eyes revealed that his mind was
elsewhere.
Anne sighed and knocked on the door. Kevin came to his senses and smiled at her.
Before the man opened his mouth, Anne spoke. "Kevin, I have hidden something from you."
The man closed the file and breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been waiting for Anne''s confession.
"You and I have been married for many years, and I know you very well. I know that something has
been bothering you, and for some reason, you didn''t want to talk to me about it. I was worried at first,
but I am relieved now."
Anne couldn''t help butugh at her stupidity. She wanted to hide the truth from Kevin, but the man had
seen through her facade.
There was no reason for her to hide the truth anymore. After all, Kevin was her husband. She could
share everything with him.
"Kevin, I''m sorry. We promised to be honest to each other, but I broke my promise today." Anne bit her
lip guiltily.
"I know you might have had your reasons for hiding the truth, so I won''t me you. Anyway, you are

willing to tell me now. There is no reason to feel guilty."
Tears welled up in Anne''s eyes. She sat opposite Kevin and told him about what Kim had asked her to
do. The smile on Kevin''s gradually disappeared.
His jaw tightened as he patiently listened to his wife. However, neither Kevin nor Anne could figure out
why Kim had abducted Colin.
The couple adored E, but they were never close to Colin. They didn''t realize that the man had
chosen Colin as his target only to warn them.
Kim was brave and powerful. He didn''t care about thew and never respected people''s lives.
Moreover, he had tamed the men who worked under him. They, too, were like hungry wolves who
listened to their master''s every word.
Brandon was the best example for that.
Eliza belonged to an eminent family. If the girl openly admitted her rtionship with Brandon, it meant
that she had her father''s approval. The mayor was perhaps oblivious to the boy''s true identity.
Brandon was a vindictive beast who enjoyed hurting people just the way his master did. Anne couldn''t
even bring herself to imagine how the rest of the men would be.
The underworld was just a gang with a bunch of criminals. However, what made it terrifying was the
fact that most of the gangsters were associated with political leaders and those in power.
Kim was the leader of the underworld mafia. His men blindly followed his orders. Anne was worried
about what he might do next.
"Kevin, I couldn''t watch them torture Colin. Kim is assaulting him only because of me. I feel guilty. I
can''t bear to watch the people around me suffer." Anne grabbed Kevin''s hand and looked at him.
"Kevin, I want you to inform everyone close to us about what Kim wants and the things he is capable of
doing. Appoint bodyguards to look after them so that they don''t suffer like Colin."
