The tiredness he felt from everything that happened the whole day gradually faded away as he smelled
her hair.
"Anne, I will do everything to protect you. Trust me," he said gently into her ear.
Hugging his waist, she nodded slightly.
She knew that Kevin would find a way to resolve all this because she trusted him, but wasn't Ryan the
root of it all?
If only Ryan could take a stand and tell everyone the truth, they would be able to think of a solution that
would solve this matter perfectly.
"I can't find Ryan. His phone is turned off, and when I went to his company to look for him, they said
they have not seen him for a while," Kevin said with a sigh, feeling hopeless.
He let go of Anne and looked at her face, kissed her gently on the forehead, and said, "I was looking
for Ryan the whole day, but I didn't find him. He just disappeared without a trace."
This is a very critical moment for everyone, and yet Ryan was nowhere to be found. What did it mean?
"Ha ha..." All of a sudden, a sinister smile appeared on Anne's face. She narrowed her eyes slightly in
an attempt to look fierce, but the sadness in her eyes still showed. "That day, I've made it clear to him
that we would never return his property in any case. Then, the photos were exposed and at that same
time, he disappeared. That cannot be just one great coincidence, don't you think?"
Kevin had experienced a lot of dirty tricks from other people in the past, so this was not new to him.
That was why as soon as he heard her say this, he understood what happened.
They had already suspected Ryan once the laptop went missing, but they could not prove that it was
him because they had no evidence. But now, they were finally sure that it was him who was behind all
those things.
'Well, he was capable of doing it so brilliantly, and I give him credit for that.'
"He has done so much to achieve his goal, which is to get the property. Now, all we need is to calm
down. I am sure he would eventually contact us." Anne was pretty sure about that.
The Fu Family was wealthy, and she was the daughter-in-law of the family, therefore she could never
be a whore. Ryan should know that she would want to get rid of this title no matter what.
However, the premise of all this was that Ryan was willing to help.
But because he had disappeared, then he must have had a few more tricks behind all this!
Upstairs, Selma looked at her sad son and daughter-in-law, feeling worried.
She blamed herself. If she hadn't been so impulsive and done the wrong thing, she wouldn't have
caused such a trouble now.
Now everyone outside was waiting to humiliate and laugh at the Fu Family. How could she let this
happen?
"Grandma, what's happening outside?" A small voice came from behind her.
She turned around and saw Eddy. She told him, "Shush! Go back to your room!" The little boy was
confused about why his grandmother shut him up and made him go back to his room.
"Kiddo, I've told you to go to bed early, haven't I? Why are you still awake?" Selma reprimanded him
but there was a hint of concern in her voice. She was only worried because she must take good care of
him since he was in poor health.
Eddy sat on the bed, confused.
Today, something important seemed to have happened, but everyone kept it from him and his sister, so
they had no idea about any of the details.
"Grandma, what's going on? Can you please tell me?" Now that he already asked twice, he expected
to get a substantial answer. This little boy had clearly inherited the stubbornness of his mother and her
tendency to be inquisitive.
But what could his grandmother tell him?
Selma sighed, slightly lowered her eyes, shook her head, and said, "Eddy, nothing happened. Don't
worry about it. Go to sleep now."
With his eyes wide open, he stared at his grandmother. He believed that the more she hid things from
him, the more serious the situation might be.
Earlier that morning, his mother sent him and Sally back to the Fu Family's house in a hurry. That was
when he started to feel that maybe his mother had been involved in an incident.
Then, he thought of something.
"Grandma, will Mom be hurt?" he asked his grandmother.
Selma shook her head, pinched his cute face gently and promised, "This has nothing to do with your
mother, and she won't be hurt."
He doubted it, but he still nodded in agreement, slowly lying on the bed and gently closing his eyes.
Now that his grandma said so, Eddy chose to believe her.
Selma looked at the child's face as her eyes deepened. Then she turned around and left his room.
It seemed difficult to resolve this problem, but the truth was, it was not really that difficult.
After all, Anne was not the only daughter of the Luo Family.
Late at night, Selma dressed up delicately and walked out of the room without disturbing everyone.
There were still some paparazzi guarding outside, but now, they were so sleepy that they had lowered
their heads and began napping. But when they suddenly heard the door open, their eyes immediately
lit up. They all looked up, feeling groggy and disoriented.
There, they saw the hostess of the Fu Family come out.
Not long ago, Selma went to Anne's house together with her men to bring back her grandchildren. It
was still fresh in the reporters' minds how tense the relationship between Selma and Anne was.
So now that Anne's mother-in-law came out, they expected her to reveal some interesting news that
they would all want to hear.
"Mrs. Selma, please tell us about your opinions on Anne's affair..."
"If you want to know the truth, just shut up and listen to me!" Before the reporter could even finish his
words, Selma already interrupted him coldly.
The paparazzi were all excited. They focused all their microphones at her, and camera flashes
constantly lit up from every direction as they all took her photos.
As the saying went, let the photos tell the truth.
She glared at them and said with a long face, "I am aware that you are all entertainment reporters, but
you should also respect the truth. Did you know that if you report anything without knowing what the
actual truth is, you will be punished by the law for damaging the reputation of others?"
The excited reporters exchanged glances with each other in confusion. They wondered what was going
on.
The pictures showed the truth. The photos of Anne and Ryan had all been exposed to the public. Didn't
they respect the truth enough?
