Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 388 Trespassing

"This can't be…" Anne shook her head in denial. She had just realized that she was wrong. How could this happen?

"I see that all of you are well-informed. I admire that about you." Cherry graced them a smile as she observed them quietly.

The reporters exchanged glances with each other before they bombarded her with questions.

"Kristine, is Mr. Kevin from AN Group inside?"

"Mr. Kevin is already married. Don't you think it's inappropriate to do something like this?"

"Why are you coming out alone? Where is Mr. Kevin?"

Kristine gave them a faint smile as she said, "If you have questions, you should ask me one by one. How am I supposed to answer all of you when you're asking at once?"

"No, I can't let her have her way. I need to get out and stop her!" Anne said as she shook her head. It was her fault. She got blinded by her hatred towards Kevin. Even if it was because of the drug that she hated him so much, how could she push the man she loved into someone else's arms?

She had to stop this at all cost!

"Didn't Cherry record the phone call? If you do what you're planning right now, she'll get angry and I'm sure she will leak that recording. If that happens, then the situation will get more tricky." Good thing, Sam was still sensible enough to stop her.

Anne gritted her teeth and clenched her fist hard. She could only imagine how much Kevin might hate her once he woke up.

He should be up by now.

"Kristine, aren't you afraid of being accused of having an affair with a married man?" A quite sharp question was asked by one of the media.

Even with that malicious inquiry, Cherry remained unbothered and answered indifferently, "When I started my career, I told my fans that I would never let myself be the other woman. I don't want to ruin someone else's family. Even now, I still live with that principle."

"If you're not the other woman, then what do you call yourself?" the reporter continued.

"There are some things that you don't know. For one, Mr. Kevin is no longer married. He already divorced his wife and that means he's single and so am I. I don't know why you're accusing us like this when we love each other." Cherry straightened her back and raised her chin slightly. She had to admit that she liked Anne's plan.

The reporters murmured to themselves as they threw curious looks with each other. Not long ago, Kevin and Anne were still showing off their love. What did she mean that they divorced?

"I don't think something like this should be talked about by yourself. Where is Mr. Kevin? Why is he not coming out?" Everyone looked past behind her.

Cherry shrugged as she took out her phone and dialed Kevin's number.

When he heard that his phone was ringing, Kevin picked it up and answered lazily, "What's up?"

"Honey, how can you let me face this alone? Why aren't you coming down?" she asked with her sweet yet shy voice.

As confusion got him, he stared at the caller ID. It was Cherry. Before he could ask what was happening, she already dropped the call.

Kevin furrowed his eyebrows as he took in the state that he was in. Memories came crashing into his mind when he saw his naked torso.

He remembered that Anne gave him a glass of red wine. There must be something in it because once he took a drink, everything was just blank.

Kevin squinted his eyes as he looked around for his clothes. Strangely, he was having a bad feeling about this. He immediately walked down the stairs to look for his shirt when he saw that the door was wide open. Cherry was standing there with her body only clad with a thin nightgown as she entertained the reporters outside.

In no time, cameras flashed here and there that made him groan. He didn't have to be too smart to realize what was going on.

How ridiculous! He was set up by Anne and Cherry!

Even after everything, he couldn't find it in him to blame Anne for her deeds. At that moment, he could only feel his heart break as a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

Cherry turned to look at him and uttered with her soft voice, "You're finally awake."

Kevin fought the urge to roll his eyes at her. It was obvious that she was trying to imply that they slept together in front of these people.

He threw her a bored look. "Kristine, we have known each other for so long but you seem to underestimate me. Am I the kind of person who would let anyone frame me?"

His tone made her falter a bit but when she looked at the reporters, she came up with another tactic. She lowered her eyes and muttered, "I wouldn't dare to frame you because I know how much you hate

that." Then she turned to the crowd. "Listen up, this is not what you think it is. It's just a coincidence that I'm here. Please don't take any pictures. This is a misunderstanding that shouldn't be publicized."

A woman in her nightgown walked out of a man's house. Now she was saying that nothing happened between them.

Even if what she said was true, no one would believe that.

Kevin frowned at her claim as he glanced at her. He had to admit that after she got out of prison, she became more cunning.

"I'm telling the truth. Please help me clarify that I have nothing to do with Mr. Kevin. We're just friends… no, we're merely acquaintances." As she spoke, tears threatened to fall from the brim of her eyes. She bit her lip and lowered her head slowly.

The reporters looked at each other in bewilderment. If Kevin and Cherry were just friends, how could they have a meal together? Why would Cherry come out of his house with only a nightgown on?

Kevin must have had threatened Cherry for her to claim that nothing happened between them. With that idea in mind, they gave Kevin a disappointed look.

They thought that he was a good man, but it seemed like he was just a bastard who refused to take any responsibility!

Even when the matter was exposed to the public, he dared to deny things and threatened a woman. That was the most shameful act that a man could do.

Sam and Anne had a good view of what was happening. Although they couldn't hear their conversation, they could guess what was going on just by observing their expression.

"This is all my fault!" Anne closed her eyes tightly as she put her face on her palm.

At that moment, she felt like she was out of her mind. Her senses told her that she liked Kevin, but her feelings stated otherwise. She felt very happy that he was facing such an unfortunate event.

How could she calm down when she was feeling different things at the same time? She bit her lower lip so hard that it began to taste rustic.

Sam was about to comfort her, but he put his hand down as soon he rose it. "You don't have to worry. He won't blame you. He has been in the business world for so long and he had seen a lot worse. Do you think that he would let himself be manipulated by Cherry like that?"

He tried to sound relaxed even though he knew that whatever angle you look at this, they would only arrive at one conclusion. There was just no way to explain their current situation clearly. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Kevin remained the stoic look on his face. What Cherry said was true, but he just couldn't accept that feigned grievance on her face.

He sneered at her, "I'd like to know something, Kristine. Before I fell asleep, no one was home. What's going on? Why are you at my house? Are you here to steal and you changed into a nightgown because you were afraid that the reporters will find out?"

Cherry stood frozen in her place as a cold sweat broke out from her body. She never expected that Kevin would say something like this.

Now that the tables had turned, how should she explain the situation?

She inhaled deeply and devised a comeback. That hellish place had honed something in her and she should use that to her advantage. "Mr. Kevin, don't you remember what happened? Before you went to bed, I was―

No, Mr. Kevin is right. I wasn't here when he fell asleep. I just entered by mistake. I…"

Her voice broke and tears rolled down her cheeks. She sobbed uncontrollably that everyone felt sorry for her.

Cherry looked like a woman who was forced to admit something that she didn't do.

The reporters exchanged knowing glances with each other. Cherry managed to become a popular star in three years. How could she just bow down to someone like Kevin?

Now that they thought about it, she wouldn't have had come to this point in the industry if she didn't have a backer. Could it be that Kevin was her backer and she was scared of offending him that was why she was doing this?

For a moment, everyone was just confused.

Kevin massaged his temple as a frown made its way on his face. He took out his phone and dialed the police station. "Hello? I want to report a case of trespassing."

His words sent a chill down Cherry's spine while everyone eyed him in surprise.

Kevin already knew the masterminds behind this setup. Cherry must have had thought that he would just accept that, but she should have known better.

'Is he not afraid that Anne will also be implicated?' she thought. She didn't want to return to that hellish place again.

She was almost certain that Kevin loved Anne even though she fell in love with Kim. Wasn't he afraid that he might ruin his wife's reputation by calling the police?

"I slept last night with no one at home. Now when I woke up, a woman in her nightgown and a group of reporters appeared in my house. I know that a man's affair is not a big deal, but I don't want to tarnish my image. You see, I'm not just any person. I'm asking you to do an action immediately. Take this

woman away and interrogate her." His voice was cold and furious. He glared at everyone who quickly lowered their heads out of shame.

After hanging up the phone, he stared straight into her eyes with a victorious smirk on his lips. Seeing that embarrassed look across her face, he stepped forward and whispered in her ear, "I'm not sure what else you're capable of, Cherry. I don't know if you have any trick under your sleeves against Anne. However, I want you to know that Rose looks the same as her."

In an instant, blood drained from her face that she stepped back from him.

To protect Anne, Kevin would resort to such actions?

How could he do something for her when she had betrayed him? Cherry knew Kevin for a long time, and he was never the tolerant kind of man!

The flock of intruders became more confused as time went by. What was going on? If what Kristine said was true, then why did Kevin call the authorities? Or was it because he had nothing to fear?

"I had a good night's sleep and I hate being disturbed the most. Furthermore, my wife gets jealous easily. I don't want her to misunderstand or else I will suffer in the end," Kevin stated with a faint smile on his lips.
