Attracted By My Ex-wife

Unwilling to take another look at Cherry's fake appearance, Anne focused all of her attention on her meal. Everyone present hated her anyway, and she didn't care about any of them.

Cherry was a little embarrassed by Anne's disrespect. She threw Kevin an aggrieved look with her beautiful eyes, but she pretended to be unbothered.

Kevin was not in the mood to care about such a trifle, so he automatically ignored Cherry's annoyance.

In the past, he would have definitely taught Anne a lesson without hesitation. Now, he had no idea what was wrong with him—it was like any hurtful word he said to Anne bounced back to him.

Selma, who was watching them, got fed up with the situation. She leveled Anne with a cold, dissatisfied stare.

"Mrs. Anne, your upbringing is laudable. How could you ignore your sister in front of so many people? Is this how your mother raised you?"

Selma intensely disliked Anne. She would always find fault with Anne no matter what she did.

Selma's implied insult toward her mother had Anne seething. She could bear whatever Selma said, but she would never allow anyone to insult her family.

"Auntie, you are my elder, so I respect you—but please don't involve my mother in this, and please respect others."

Anne raised her eyes to meet Selma's, with barely suppressed anger burning in their depths.

"Why should I? Can a lowly person such as you be compared to me? Mrs. Anne, have you forgotten how you deliberately approached Kevin?"

Selma's face clearly reflected her disdain. Who did this woman think she was—did she think she was Selma's equal? Selma was the noble wife of the Fu Family. How could such a person be compared with her?

Cherry coolly witnessed the argument brewing between Anne and Selma and sneered inwardly. She had been looking forward to this scene. If Anne managed to completely offend Selma, then she would have an awful time in the Fu Family in the future.

Clenching her fists, Anne tried hard to hold back her anger. The older woman evidently looked down upon her, but Anne could never let her malign her mother.

"Enough!" Anne was about to open her mouth to retort when Kevin's cold voice angrily interrupted the exchange.

Everyone turned to look at him and saw his thunderous expression. His black eyes swept coldly over the people present.

"Mom, do you know what you have just said? What do you mean by a lowly person like Anne being compared with you?" No one spoke a word.

Kevin might look aloof and detached, but he had never thought himself as above others. What Selma had said just now irritated him.

"Kevin, I didn't mean that, I..."

Selma also realized that she had said something wrong in front of Kevin. She anxiously tried to explain herself but was cut off before she could finish her words.
