Chapter 103 Cut Her Tongue Out
Chapter 103 Cut Her Tongue Out
"Anne, when did you become so eloquent? You now learned to name drop Kevin to the servants to get what you want, huh?"
Cherry walked downstairs. Her lovely, arrogant eyes were filled with disdain. Her voice was acerbic, and her expression was cold.
'Anne's really living it up. She thinks she's the hostess because Kevin is interested in her. That won't last,' Cherry thought.
"Now that you're down here, Miss Cherry, what would you like for lunch? We'll fix something right away." When the two maids saw Cherry, they immediately fawned all over her.
Cherry looked at Anne with a smug smile, and a sneer in her beautiful eyes.
In this villa the servants felt Cherry was the real hostess, while Anne was just a tool to give birth to the child.
As Anne felt Cherry's gaze, her annoyance flared. This woman was obviously acting against her.
"Not now, Cherry. I'm not in the mood to argue with you. Just understand: if anything happens to my kid, Kevin will come down on you like a thumb on a bug," Anne said coldly.
Anger seared through her as she said this.
"You're seriously threatening me with Kevin? I don't think he'll do anything to me."
Cherry looked at Anne with disgust. 'This bitch really thinks she's somebody. She actually had the audacity to say that to me.'
And the maids jumped to Cherry's defense.
"Who do you think you are? Mr. Kevin will only get angry when Miss Cherry is hurt. He probably won't even look at you."
"Since when do maids insult the lady of the house?"
Kevin had also just come down the stairs. He trembled with fury as anger seared through him. His words were clear, and his tone held a hint of danger.
So this was how they treated Anne when he wasn't around. Even the maids were in on it. Damn it! All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
"Mr. Ke... Mr. Kevin." When the maid who spoke saw Kevin, she lowered her head and held her breath.
Similarly, panic flashed through Cherry's beautiful eyes when she heard his voice, but she was good at hiding it.
Kevin strode over, and his eyes were fixed on the maid who had just spoken disrespectfully to Anne. Waves of hate could be felt coming from him.
"I asked you a question. Did you think this was okay? Are you the hostess of this villa?"
His cold voice was like a devil out of hell.
"No... I didn't mean anything by it. I just said it without thinking. Please forgive me, Mr. Kevin." The maid was so frightened by Kevin that she stammered, fear widened her eyes.
"You said it without thinking? You'll have lots of time to think about why you can't talk anymore." After saying this, Kevin crooked his finger and immediately two bodyguards came over.
"Mr. Kevin!"
"Cut her tongue out!" Kevin's face was calm, but his tone was frightening.
"Mr. Kevin, please forgive me. I won't do it again. Please forgive me."
The maid fell on her knees with a thud, and tears of fear rolled down her cheeks.
It was the first time Kevin had dealt with a person in such a vicious manner, and even Cherry was a little scared.
But at the thought that he did all this just because of Anne, she was mad and she decided to do something to stop him.
"Kevin, don't you think that's too cruel? She's just a maid. I think she's learned her lesson."
"If I go easy on her, it sets a bad precedent. This will remind them that my wife and I deserve respect."
Cherry's pleading didn't change Kevin's mind. The thought of that lack of respect sent him into a rage. His message had to be clear.
"I still think it's way over the top."
Taking Kevin's arm, Cherry pleaded for the maid again. She really didn't care about the maid, but she didn't want Anne to think she was more important than she really was in Kevin's heart.
Seeing that Cherry's pleading didn't work, the maid was even more afraid. She cast a quick glance at Anne, who had an indifferent face, and knelt down in front of her to beg for mercy.
"Mrs. Anne, please help me. I know I was wrong. I will never talk to you in a disrespectful tone again. Please help me."
Kneeling on the ground, the maid apologized from the bottom of her heart. She really felt bad about what she did.
If she had known that Anne was so important in Kevin's heart, she wouldn't have said anything like that.
Anne looked down at the maid kneeling on the ground. Although she was still a little angry with the maid's attitude, Kevin's punishment was too harsh.
"Mr. Kevin, I think she has realized her mistake. Please forgive her this time."
Anne wasn't sure whether Kevin would listen to her or not. He was a man of his word, not to mention that she was not that important in his heart.
"Are you really going to let her get away with it?" Kevin asked coldly, frowning deeply.
"Yes."
"Very well. I'll take your advice. Let her go."
Looking at the sincere expression in Anne's eyes, Kevin agreed without any particular reason. He didn't know why he wanted to avenge this woman.
"Thank you, Mr. Kevin. Thank you, Mrs. Anne."
Kevin's words set Anne's heart at rest. Right now, the maid was grateful to Anne. If it weren't for her, the maid's tongue would have been removed.
Although the maid had apologized, Anne was still unhappy. She gave the maid an indifferent look and turned away.
In Cherry's eyes, Anne was arrogant. She was unhappy that Kevin supported Anne, and he even listened to Anne's advice but not hers.
'This bitch is too much. If she stays here, I'll lose Kevin to her!
No, I must find a way to get this slut out.'
After returning to her room, Cherry thought for a while and finally came up with a plan.
Didn't Alan hold a grudge against Anne? He must be very unhappy since their plan to get rid of Anne failed last time. Cherry thought she might be able to use that to her advantage.
Thinking of this, she dialed Alan's number again.
"Miss Cherry, what a surprise. Why are you calling?"
Alan's cold voice came from the other end of the phone. Cherry could tell from his tone that Alan didn't like her.
"Hello, Mr. Alan. Long time no talk. I just called to see how you were doing," Cherry said in a sweet voice, forcing a fake smile.
"I know who you are. You're anything but sweet and innocent, and rarely do anything without an ulterior motive. So, out with it."
Alan snorted with disdain. He was annoyed by the call already.
The smile on her face froze, and her face darkened. Alan didn't pull any punches.
Fortunately, it was just a phone call. Alan couldn't see her fuming on the other end.
"You get straight to the point, Mr. Alan. I like that. Actually, I'm calling to help you, help you avenge your sister!"
Cherry knew that Alan loved his sister more than anything. She brought Ruth up to stoke those fires of hatred in his heart.
"Avenge my sister? Why would you say that?" She could tell he was uncomfortable. His tone was calm, but there was anger there, bubbling just beneath the surface.
"You haven't avenged her, have you? Are you going to just let Anne get away with it? She's the one who hurt your sister, after all."
When she mentioned Anne, Cherry clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth. She did not like how Kevin seemed to be falling for Anne. And she really hoped that she could kill her.
"I know all this. No, I haven't been able to get my revenge. And? You just called to remind me that I need to avenge my sister? Get to the point. I'm not a patient man."
When Alan thought of his sister, his tone suddenly became cold and hatred welled in his heart. She was still in a coma.
If it weren't for Anne, his sister would still be walking and talking. He could take her out to eat, they could go shopping, and whatever else she wanted. Those experiences had been stolen from him.
"Of course I'm not calling to remind you. The point is that I want to help you get your revenge." When she knew that Alan's hatred had been reawakened, her heart did a little victory dance.
Though brave, Alan lacked wisdom and tact. It was easy to influence someone like him with some tricks.
But Alan became smart this time. He knew Kevin was protecting Anne. He didn't trust Cherry, either.
"Help me? I think Miss Cherry just wants to use me. You want to use me to get rid of Anne, probably because she's a threat to your plans with Kevin. Am I right?"
He had already figured out what Cherry was up to. Did this woman really think that she was that smart? Did she think she could use just anyone?
Now that Alan had seen through her real intentions, Cherry felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that Alan was much smarter than she thought.
"Ala... Why, Mr. Alan. I don't know what you're talking about. I really want to help you. Don't you believe me?"
Although Cherry had been exposed, she had to defend herself. Would Alan even listen to her anymore? She didn't know, but she had to try.
