Attracted By My Ex-wife

Anne took a deep breath in, nodded and said, "Mr. Colin, don't worry. The Fu Family will take all your losses that you have suffered and for anything arising therefrom from this moment forth. Plus, we have enlisted the services of bodyguards to ensure your safety."

Initially, Anne wanted to tell him that he should have a good rest and look after himself. But she didn't know how to breach the topic considering that she genuinely felt that he blamed her for everything he had been through, whether he openly admitted or not.

With an exasperated sigh, Anne turned around slowly.

Standing just outside the door, Kevin could make out Colin's voice. He frowned but he nonetheless felt helpless in terms of actively doing something.

After all, it was wholly their fault that had caused Colin the torture he'd suffered. It was completely understandable, even justified, that he would be furious over this.

They had no leg to stand on. They really couldn't blame him one bit.

When Anne walked out of the room, she heard Ella say angrily, "Dad, how can you do this? Mom is so good to me. How can you say that?"

"Ella, you are still young. There are many things you don't fully comprehend yet. When you grow up, you will definitely understand my reasoning" Colin said in a tired voice.

Kevin held Anne by the hand, looked her deep in the eyes and shook his head feebly.

The couple slowly made their way across the hallway. Anne felt as if she was skating on thin ice, and that she could just be engulfed by the frigid water below at any moment.

"Kevin, now that Kim doesn't have anyone hostage, do you think we're safe from his threats and interference? Looking up at him, Anne broached this all important question.

After a moment of silent consideration, he nodded. He responded, "The police together with Peter are searching high and low for Kim. Whether he is dead or alive, they will not stop their search until they find him.

A dangerous fugitive like Kim who had somehow managed to deceive the government and escape death row would have to be captured, whether dead or alive.

Anne nodded. Things wouldn't be so bad if they managed to catch Kim.

"We should attend to procuring a really wonderful gift and pay a visit to the mayor," Kevin said with a bit of a cold tone.

The mayor's daughter was dating none other than Brandon.

It was a reasonable notion that no one could truly know where Kim's current whereabouts were, especially since he had mastered the art of flying under the radar. But Brandon was different. He was working for Kim.

Anne nodded. When she returned home, she packed the gift up, ready to go. She put on light make-up which made her look natural, and then made her way to the mayor's home with Kevin.

At this particularly time, the mayor was out of town for work. Just his wife was at home.

The mayor's wife seemed surprised to have guests when she noticed their arrival, but as soon as she made out that it was the two of them, her surprised disappeared and she graciously invited them into their home.

The mayor's wife took the time to make sure she personally poured their tea for them. She was indeed an obliging host. She said, "I must apologize, but the mayor is investigating matters out of town at the moment."

"Ah, that isn't a problem," Kevin replied courteously. "We haven't come to see the mayor."

Slightly astonished, she responded, "If not the mayor, for whom have you made the trip?"

"We are here to see Eliza," Anne explained.

The mayor's wife's astonishment grew ten-fold. Eliza was a young woman. What business could Kevin and Anne possibly have with her?
