Kevin kept a straight face, his eyes narrowed in dissatisfaction.
"Well…"
Anne wanted to ask more about Emily, but seeing that he was a little bit angry, she shut her mouth.
"Mr. Kevin, it's getting late. Return to your room and have a rest. You must be exhausted from work.
You should take good care of yourself,"
Anne promptly said to prevent him from getting angry.
"Did I say that I wanted to go back to my room and have a rest?"
Kevin's face was still sullen. The aggravation in his eyes remained as it is. 'This damn woman is so
pretentious.'
"Mr. Kevin, do you want to…"
Anne was speechless about this man. He was extremely difficult to please.
"Sleep with you! I'm going to take a shower. Wait for me on the bed!" Kevin walked into the bathroom
immediately after saying that. He did not give Anne any chance to explain.
"……"
'What is wrong with him these days? He takes my room as his own.'
At the thought of his domineering behavior, Anne felt aghast. But when she thought that he hugged her
and slept with her every day, she seemed to be at ease and looking forward to it.
For the past two months, Kevin slept in Anne's room almost every night. His attitude towards her was
much better.
Cherry had witnessed all the changes in Kevin. She knew that he cared more and more about Anne, or
perhaps he had fallen in love with her.
After Cherry's plan failed last time, she had always held a grudge against Anne. The baby would be
born soon. What if Kevin decided not to kick Anne out of the villa?
It couldn't be. She must find a way to sever their relationship.
One day, Kevin left early for work, leaving Anne and Cherry alone in the villa.
Cherry looked at Anne, who was eating her breakfast silently. A vicious look flashed across Cherry's
ravishing eyes.
"You seem to be in a good mood these days, even though someone sacrificed so much for you. You
don't have any conscience at all,"
Cherry said sarcastically, raising her brow at her.
Frowning, Anne stopped eating and gave her a cold stare.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Please don't disturb me. I'm having my breakfast!"
Anne did not seem to be affected as she had already been used to Cherry's mockery.
"You are indeed a broad-minded woman. How could you sit here and leisurely eat breakfast? Haven't
you figured out why your assistant went abroad long ago?
Kevin had given an order not to tell Anne about what happened to Emily, but Cherry did not care so
much now. If she just let Anne live such a peaceful life, she would lose her position in the villa
eventually.
Hearing Cherry mention Emily, Anne interrupted what she was doing and fixed her eyes at her sharply.
"Cherry, what do you mean? Just say it. Don't beat around the bush!"
She anticipated that what Cherry was about to say must be something bad.
"Your assistant went abroad so suddenly. Don't you know why? She went away because of you!"
Cherry glared at Anne contemptuously. As she remembered that her last plan fell through because of
Emily's interference, hatred took hold of her heart.
"Emily suddenly decided to go overseas. You must know the reason, right? Cherry, tell me!"
Emily had been away for some time. During that time, Anne had asked Kevin over and over, but she
didn't get an answer. The longer she waited, the more worried she got.
"Although Alan promised Kevin that he wouldn't harm you before you give birth to the baby, he wouldn't
let you go easily since he wanted to avenge her sister so much. Your assistant was afraid that Alan
might do something to hurt you, so she went to him and claimed that she pushed Ruth down the stairs.
She did it all to protect you!"
Cherry gave Anne a frigid look. She could not help, but feel jealous when she thought Anne had a
friend who cared so much about her.
"What did you say? Emily went to Alan and said that she pushed Ruth down the stairs?" Anne
immediately stood up from her seat and asked. She could not believe what she heard.
She put herself in danger for her. How could Emily be so reckless?
"Anne, now that you know the truth, can you still sit here and have breakfast peacefully? Emily had
paid the price for you. I'm afraid she won't be home for a while longer."
Knowing that Emily had done so much for her, Anne felt guilty. How could she be so foolish?
"No, I can't let them blame her for a crime she did not do. I will tell everyone that it was you who
pushed Ruth downstairs!"
Emily was like Anne's sister. She could not let her bear such a big crime for her. It was Cherry who did
it. It had nothing to do with her nor Emily.
"Do you think someone will believe you? Anne, it has been a long time, but you're still naive!"
Cherry sneered with disdain. She did not take Anne's words seriously, because she was confident that
no one would believe her.
"Cherry, how can you be so hypocritical and cruel? You pushed Ruth down the stairs. Why did you let
someone bear the punishment that you deserve to get?"
Anne became furious. Cherry was the one who hurt Ruth. If Alan wanted to take revenge, he should
come after Cherry. How could she implicate the innocent?
"I pushed her down the stairs! But even if you tell everyone, they would not believe you!"
Cherry taunted and looked at her with pleasure. She would love to see if Anne could still stay at ease.
Anne was burning with rage as she glowered at Cherry. She had never despised this woman so much
before.
All of a sudden, there was an excruciating pain in her belly. Anne tightly frowned with her beautiful
eyebrows and covered her belly with her hands.
Cherry was surprised seeing her face instantly turn pale. This woman was so vulnerable. She just said
a few words, but it already affected her baby.
Meanwhile, Cherry was happy to see this. It would be better if the baby would die even before it was
born.
She could not help but snicker at the thought that Kevin would kick Anne out of the villa.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and send me to the hospital!" Anne glanced at Cherry's
gloating face and said coldly as she endured the pain.
"Take you to the hospital? Why would I do that? What good will it do to me?"
Cherry smirked. She looked as if she was watching a good show. Did Anne really think that she would
help her? She was rather eager to see something happen to the baby Anne was bearing.
"Yes, it will do no good to you. But if anything happens to my baby, and Kevin knows you did nothing,
do you think he will still love you? If so, you could say goodbye to the image you have worked hard to
create in his heart."
The pain grew worse in Anne's belly. She knew that she had to go to the hospital now. She might have
a miscarriage if she did not act immediately.
Cherry, who had been dying to see a good show, stopped smiling as Anne's words sunk in. She looked
at Anne viciously. This woman finally began to suppress her using Kevin's influence.
"Are you threatening me, Anne? Do you think I will get scared if you say that?" She walked up to Anne
and whispered cold-heartedly.
"I'm not threatening you. I'm just telling the truth. If anything happens to my baby, your wedding with
Kevin will never take place!"
Anne sought support from the chair and walked out with difficulty. She had to go to the hospital as soon
as possible.
Being intimidated by Anne, Cherry knew that what she said was true. If Kevin knew she did not do
anything to help Anne when she was in danger, he would definitely think that she was a heartless
woman.
It seemed that she had to send Anne to the hospital today.
"Okay, I'll take you to the hospital. But it has nothing to do with me if something wrong happened with
your baby."
A sneer flashed across Cherry's lips as she walked to help Anne.
Anne stared at her in surprise. She did not expect that Cherry would be struck by conscience and
changed her mind. Did she get frightened of what she just said?
After she got inside Cherry's car, the pain in her belly became worse. Her face turned paler and paler.
There weren't many cars on the road, but Cherry's driving speed was unexpectedly slow. It was not
until then that Anne realized that why Cherry suddenly changed her mind to help her. She was
obviously doing it on purpose, so she could buy time.
It took the car nearly half an hour to arrive at the nearest hospital. The doctor gave a series of tests
upon Anne.
"Doctor, is my baby all right?" The pain was alleviated a little. Anne looked at the doctor who examined
her, anxiously waiting for his reply.
"You have preterm labor symptoms. Fortunately, it is not too serious. You must learn to control your
emotions as you are pregnant,"
the doctor reminded her when he saw the distress on her face.
"Thank you, doctor. I'll be careful."
Anne was relieved when she knew that the baby was fine. If something happened to her child, she
would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
