Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 394 Gamble With My Life

Kevin was not only handsome but also filthy rich. More than that, he was an exceptional lover.

In the eyes of the public, he was indeed a great husband.

The only downside to his life was that he married a slut––a woman undeserving of his affection.

And because of this, people could not help but pity him. As a promising president, he could get his hands on any woman he wanted and desired. Yet, he insisted on loving someone like Anne.

When this affair broke the Internet, it caused a massive uproar. Every single one of the netizens thought Kevin deserved someone so much better, a woman of the same caliber as him.

More than that, some people rallied to AN Group and demanded that Kevin change his wife.

For a while, this became the talk of mouth in the entire company. But Kevin remained silent as if all these had nothing to do with him.

But little to the public’s knowledge, the man kept a close eye on the matter, determined to prove that the recording was fake!

As for those photos, it was easy to explain. Kristine was a popular actress at that time and everyone knew that he had invited her to his personal party. So it made sense for his wife Anne to meet Kristine after that.

However, Anne still insisted on intending to use this to lure Kim!

"Mom, you should be on my side. Kevin is worried about me, that’s why he doesn’t agree with my plan. But you should be more rational than your son." Kevin didn't approve of her idea, so Anne had to convince Selma to persuade her son.

Although Selma had finally acknowledged Anne as her daughter-in-law, compared with Kevin and the Fu Family's reputation, she was still less important.

As expected, Selma fell into silence. She frowned and looked at Anne as if she was gauging the situation.

"Mom, Kevin and I are married. We two decided to live together for the rest of our lives. If Kim continues to stir a ruckus, you know even our children will be involved!

Kim has watched Sally and Simon grow up, so he might show mercy to them. But what about Eddy?

Eddy is not in good health, and we haven't found a suitable heart donor yet. If Kim frightens him when he makes a move, then..." Anne heaved a heavy sigh, her soulful eyes full of worry as she stared deeply at Selma.

She did not intend to frighten her mother-in-law. She was just telling the truth objectively.

After all, no one could predict what Kim, that despicable villain, was planning to do. More than that, Eddy's health was everyone's concern in this family.

"Anne, you're right. We can't tolerate it. We must do something!" Selma finally managed to answer after thinking for a while.

A smile appeared at the corners of Anne's mouth, happy that her mother-in-law decided to support her.

In that case, she would start to carry out her plan.

When afternoon came, Kevin attended a meeting. The issue with Anne affected the company, but it didn't do much damage. Although the board of directors was not happy, they didn't dare blame him for it.

When something like this happened before, Kevin did not hesitate to resign as the president, which threw the entire board into chaos. No one was eligible to take over the position. So, this time, they wouldn't do anything reckless that might force him to let go of the company.

Suddenly, Kevin’s phone rang. With a frown, he gazed at the screen and saw it was Anne. Instantly, his fingers stiffened while a bad feeling surged within him.

Knowing that Kevin was always busy managing the company, Anne was sensible enough not to disturb him during office hours. So, receiving a call from her while in a meeting made him feel extremely uneasy.

Without sliding the screen to answer, the ringing eventually stopped. Kevin was about to bury the phone back in his pocket when it rang again.

Suddenly, everyone turned their heads at him. Kevin frowned and answered the call. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

When the video registered on his screen, he almost rose from his seat. "Anne, where are you?!" he yelled.

Behind Anne was the blue sky decorated with white clouds. No building could be found around, which could only mean one thing––she was somewhere on a particularly high roof.

What was Anne doing there? Kevin's heart fluttered, with all the sudden worry filling his heart.

A moment later, Anne appeared on the screen again and blinked at him while a smile was etched on her lips.

"Kevin, the entertainment reporters got the news. They will be here in a few minutes. Will you come?" There was a hint of coldness in her voice.

Frowning, Kevin hung up the video call. Then, without saying anything, he turned around and left the boardroom.

The utterly confused directors looked at each other. What happened this time? Why were there entertainment reporters?

As soon as Kevin got in the car, he immediately called Selma. "Mom, didn't I tell you to keep an eye on Anne? Why is she out right now?"

Selma, who was accompanying the children, just said indifferently, "Anne is a grown-up woman. You can't always expect others to follow her. She said she wanted to go out and relax, so I let her go!"

"You have no idea of the consequence!" Kevin yelled and hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Anne was sitting on the rooftop of a high building. As expected, a moment later, a lot of entertainment reporters had already swarmed there.

They all eyed Anne in surprise after seeing her sit on the edge of the roof. If she was not careful enough, she would fall and be smashed to pieces!

After all, she was in the tallest building in A City!

"Mrs. Anne, what are you doing here?" Standing in the distance, the entertainment reporters didn't dare move closer to Anne, fearing that they might trigger her to jump. If that happened, it would definitely be big trouble.

Although the public regarded her as a slut, she was Kevin's wife, after all. None of them was brave enough to go against that man.

"Hey, don't call me that. I told you that I hate that title very much," Anne expressed, looking down at the reporter.

The latter nodded and kindly reminded her, "Miss Anne, it's very dangerous for you to sit there. You'd better get down first. Every problem will have a solution."

Squinting her eyes, Anne looked at the kind-hearted reporter and shook her head slightly. Then, she suddenly sneered and said desperately, "If things were so easy to solve, then why would I stand here?

You don't know the truth. Kevin and I married, but there is no love between us. I want to divorce him, but he would not let me. So, I have no choice but to gamble with my life!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly looked at each other in dismay. It turned out that she came here for divorce.

"Miss Anne, did you betray Mr. Kevin first? Or did Mr. Kevin was the one unfaithful?

"Miss Anne, did your marriage get ruined because of Kim, the man who was mentioned in the recording?"

"Miss Anne, did Mr. Kevin do something that forced you to reach this point?"

The questions kept resounding in her ears, but Anne just withdrew her gaze and gazed down at them blankly, taking a deep breath.

Although she was not afraid of heights, sitting here, she still felt the terrible effect of the tall building.

'Kevin, where are you? Why haven't you come yet? What if I really fall?' she thought miserably, now starting to think that she was really too high above the ground. Even if there was a rescue air cushion, she would probably still die!

Anne closed her eyes and trembled slightly as the coldness of high altitude surrounded her.

A cry of surprise suddenly came from behind.

Cautiously turning around, she was greeted by an angry face.

Standing there, Kevin pierced Anne with his cold, burning eyes. He clenched his fists and pursed his thin lips slightly. Then, taking one step forward, he asked, "Anne, what are you doing sitting there? Listen to me. You need to calm down, okay?"

After swallowing subconsciously, Anne shook her head and said firmly, "No!"

"Anne, that's enough. We can solve this by ourselves. Come down here quickly!" Anne sat in such a dangerous place, so it was natural for Kevin to be very worried and beg with a soft tone.

Shaking her head, Anne looked around at the cameras and cell phones, knowing that the video must have already been posted online.

Meanwhile, Selma asked a servant to look after the children and went upstairs in a hurry. She turned on the computer and quickly searched for any coverage of what was happening.

'What a silly girl! Why does she choose such a high building and sit there? Isn’t she afraid?'

Selma thought to herself as she watched what was going on.

Meanwhile, in the AS Group, Peter had also received a notification of the online videos, making him instantly turn pale in shock. "Damn it! How could Anne be so impulsive?"

A loud noise suddenly blared at the office door. Peter looked up and saw Kim with a gloomy face.

Kim quickly walked to the computer and stuck his face at the screen. His long, brooding face remained while his fists were tightly clenched.

He also knew that it was too dangerous for Anne to stand there.

"Kim, don’t just stand there! It's too dangerous for Anne to be there. If she was not careful enough, she would fall and become pieces. You have to go there and make her listen to you!"

"No way! It's not the time yet!" Kim responded coldly.

Peter raised his head and eyed him with disapproval. His anger rose without any reason. It was all Kim's fault that Anne came to this point, yet he could still be this ruthless?

Back at the scene, Kevin slowly approached Anne with utmost caution. "Kevin, I warn you. Don't come over, or I will jump!"

"Okay, okay! I won't!" Kevin rubbed his forehead, feeling so helpless at this point.

Kevin also knew that Anne plotted this, but it was not the right time to confront her. He needed to get her away from the edge of the roof first.

"Anne, no matter what you want to do, I will approve of it, okay? Just please come here first. That is too dangerous!" Kevin plead in a gentle voice.

Anne shook her head repeatedly in disbelief and responded, "You're lying. I kept telling you that I wanted to divorce you, and you also agreed. But you never went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with me. So, I won't believe whatever you'll say!"

As Kevin heard this, his face changed abruptly.

This time, Anne told everyone about it, which pushed Kevin into a dead end. It seemed that she had made up her mind, leaving him with no choice!

Kevin squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth. The smell of blood in his mouth made him look at Anne with utter fury. But even then, she merely stared at him, not showing any signs of fear.

For a while, the two just stood there, staring at each other while the entertainment reporters took photos and posted them on the Internet.
