Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 164 Malicious Hype

The AN Group had caught the attention of reporters from all over the country. Today, they flocked to the company's gate.

"Everyone, please calm down. We were informed about the circulating rumors that are detrimental to our company's reputation, but they are merely rumors. The AN Group with its CEO, Kevin Fu, will do further investigation and we will make sure that those responsible would be held accountable," Daniel faced the press and explained patiently until Kevin came.

Question after question, the crowd decreased until finally everyone left. Daniel wiped the sweat on his forehead and gave a sign of relaxation after doing a lot of intense talking. When Kevin's car appeared in the background, he finally felt relieved.

Alas, he managed to deal with the reporters before his boss came. He was not frightened by the overwhelming sea of reporters, but what made him terrified was the thought of Kevin getting angry.

"Mr. Kevin, it's good to see you." Daniel smiled again when he faced Kevin.

"Tell the emergency services team to find out the ins and outs of this matter and look into Cherry's whereabouts." Kevin then went straight into the office after giving the order.

In his workplace, he considered all things thoroughly and dialed quickly. "Also, go and find out if this has something to do with Garret."

The last time he saw Cherry, she was with Garret. It was hard to guarantee that Garret wouldn't plot anything behind his back.

Although Kevin knew Anne's personality, he was still worried sick that Anne would start to overthink. When he called her, he was anxious of and was still figuring what to say because he seemed to have never comforted Anne before.

"Hello, Kevin. What's up?" Anne's voice was calm and not too surprised at Kevin's sudden phone call.

Hearing that Anne was composed, Kevin was still tongue-tied. A few second later, he spoke up. "I'll handle this mess very well. Don't worry."

Obviously, Anne didn't expect him to let go comforting words to her, but, on the second thought, it shouldn't be a surprise because it was his reputation and legacy at stake.

"Thank you. I'll be going now. The baby needs to be fed." Anne hung up the phone as Kevin's ears were filled with the constant beeping of the phone.

In less than two hours, the emergency services team had already figured out who sent the article. To their surprise, it was a newly established company within the district and hadn't made a name for themselves yet.

When Daniel passed the information to Kevin, he was perplexedly.

"Bold of this small firm to find fault with our company and try to stain our reputation. Mr. Kevin, why don't we knock them out their micro business directly?"

Daniel was exasperated. He thought it was a despicable move for a small company to slander a corporate giant in order to gain fame.

"That would be unnecessary. Don't act rashly now. This company may be the scapegoat of another company. They have nothing to lose. They're already at the bottom but destroying them might not resolve this commotion." Kevin spoke superciliously.

Seeing that Kevin had a plan ahead of everyone, Daniel breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "Well, let's talk about it once we are finished gathering information about Garret and Cherry."

About half an hour later, the information was completely passed on to Kevin with the help of AN Group's efficient and skillful personnel.

"Mr. Kevin, this is the latest information we got on Garret and Cherry. You should give it a look."

As soon as Daniel finished speaking, Kevin's phone rang. He could have just ignored it, but it showed that the call was coming from Anne.

Without hesitation, he took the call to find that the baby had a fever all of a sudden.

"I'll just take these reports. I'm going home. Keep investigating the two's movement."

Kevin left the company in a flash. He was worried about Anne. She wouldn't even bother calling him if something big came up, but this time she did, and it was because of the baby.

Half an hour later, Kevin arrived home.

As he neared the door, he heard the slight whimpering of the baby. He walked briskly to reach the door. As soon as he entered, the baby's cry exploded in his face.

Anne was there anxiously carrying the baby and walking back and forth in the room. With worry written all over her face, she had lost her composure. She was completely powerless, a mother who stood there and watched as her child wailed.

"Kevin! Finally, you're here."

Anne felt a sense of relief the moment she saw Kevin. A sudden rush of reassurance flooded her heart.

"What's wrong with the baby? Why hasn't he been sent to the hospital yet? Where's Sam?" Kevin probed and wonder why Sam didn't came.

"Sam just flew abroad. He probably turned off his phone once he came aboard, so I have no choice but to call you. If I had the key to the garage, I would have left you unbothered and driven to the hospital myself." Anne reasoned as she tried to calm her nerves.

"Okay, but we have to go now."

Kevin took the baby from Anne's embrace and tucked him in his. The butler immediately opened the door and assisted Anne to the car. Kevin gave back the baby to Anne as he started the car's engine.

Kevin's house was distant to Sam's hospital. It took them about fifty minutes of anxious driving before they arrived.

At this time, the baby had fallen asleep, tired from all the crying, but Anne was far from complacent. She changed the antipyretic patch of the baby and felt the burning temperature of the baby's forehead.

After they arrived, they were led to the consultation room of the hospital. There a pediatrician asked, "What's wrong with the baby?"

"He suddenly had a fever, but there were no symptoms. No cold or whatsoever. I don't know what happened."

Anne was clueless about why the baby was sick, so she too was at a loss.

"Come on, let me have a look."

After the doctor examined the baby, he instructed the nurse beside him, "Take him to the infusion room and keep track of the situation all the time."

With a dreadful look on her face, Anne followed them. Kevin asked the doctor, "What's wrong with the child? How did he catch a fever out of nowhere?"

"These are not within the scope of a simple inspection to answer, but it is normal for children to experience fever at this age. Although your case looks peculiar, I recommend that he stay here for at least a week so we can monitor him."

In the ward D609, there was a bed with white sheets. The curtains were sky blue, and the room was filled with the scent of disinfectant.

"Is he getting any better?" asked Kevin as he stood behind Anne.

"The temperature lowered, but the fever is still not gone." she answered worriedly.

"Is there something going on in the company? You've been very busy recently. I can stay here for a while to take care of the baby. You can go if you have to. I can just hail a cab to get home." Anne wanted to tell Kevin not to worry too much, but she might have said it in a harsh way.

Kevin didn't respond. He put a key on the bed.

"What's this?" asked Anne.

"The key to the garage. Are you sure you're all good to drive? Take the car and drive as you wish." Kevin wanted to say that she could still call him whenever she felt like not driving.

But what came out of his mouth was something different from what he really meant to say. Then he saw that her expression changed.

"Of course I can drive. It took me a month to pass, but I got my driving license four years ago. I can handle myself," Anne said reassuringly.

She was confident with her abilities.

"That's good. You were right by the way. I should go back to the company, I have something to deal with. If something happens, call me."

He never really wanted to leave, but he had other responsibilities. He had to deal with the company's affairs as soon as possible.

"Go ahead," answered Anne.

In the YS Hotel,

there were a few guests since it was Saturday and most companies were on a holiday. The usual bustling lodge was quieter than usual since businessmen seldom came here to discuss businesses on weekends. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

The lighting didn't change. Everything was kind of a blur but looked a little frigid.

Garret went to the reception and booked a private room. Cherry soon arrived and had a seat in the room.

Because of the luxurious interior, even if the ambiance was not as dynamic as usual, it gave people a sense of flirtation. When Cherry saw Garret, he was sitting on the sofa with an ecstatic face.

"How do you think about the outcome, Mr. Garret? Do you love what you're seeing?" Cherry smirked faintly. If he didn't know her character, Garret would have been deceived by her charming innocent face.

"With your help, we will definitely get what we want!"

Garret was all smiles. As the boss of the third ranked advertising company, he had a reason to hate Kevin.

Since bijouterie became the trend in the industry, jewelry companies and advertising companies had always been closely working with each other. Kevin had close ties with the top two advertising companies. Because of this harmonious collaboration, the two leading firms flourished, while Garret's corporation lacked established connections.

Although partnerships and rivalries were common phenomenon in the business industry, it would be personally beneficial for Garret if he could either destroy the Fu Family, or injure Kevin's jewelry commerce.

"It is all attributed to your clever trick. Without your plan, I never could have done it." Cherry grinned and sat down opposite Garret's seat.

"Ha! Poor Kevin. Why does he have to run the jewelry business? It's his bad luck to be caught by me, and he doesn't cherish such a fine beauty," Garret teased ambiguously because he still didn't want to give up on Cherry.

"But what if he comes after us? What do you think he will do?" Thinking of Kevin's wide variety of means, Cherry was fearful of the possibilities.

Garret laughed out loud and said, "You don't have to be afraid. Even if Kevin is powerful and he can go track my scent like foolish dog, it would be all for nothing. The news has been on every front page of every paper in town. The damage has been dealt. The situation is irreversible."

Cherry knew very well about this point. In the business world, the hype made everyone do anything. This time, the 'love only one' shining series of rings launched by the AN Group were very popular. There was a mysterious story about this series. The protagonist was guessed to be Kevin. This time, the sale of the company would certainly be affected.

If Kevin wanted to save his reputation, he would definitely agree to her request and tell everyone that Anne was a mistress who got involved in their relationship, and Cherry would become Kevin's one and

only lover.

Just thinking about her sweet happy ending, Cherry grinned from ear to ear.

"Cherry, you are so happy but fortunately, Kevin is calling you." said Garret.

When she came to her senses, Cherry looked at her phone. Sure enough, there was an incoming call, more so it was Kevin.

"You're right, Garret. But don't worry, if I can come back to Kevin, I will definitely thank you in the future."

Cherry stood up and gracefully walked outside to answer the phone. As she disappeared from his sight, Garret's expression suddenly became villainous.
