Renewal Of Love

Chapter 547 Anne Threatens To Take Her Own Life

Peter closed his eyes and let out a weary sigh. "Anne, Kevin had risked his life to bring peace and

happiness back to your life. But now..."

His jaw tightened in anger. He wanted to scold Kevin and make him understand how stupid his decision

had been. It had cost his life.

However, it was too late.

Anne craned her neck to look at Peter. Her teary eyes met his. "I want to go back!"

She couldn't believe that Kevin had gone.

Anne was aware of Kevin's potential and what he was capable of doing. He would never make such an

impulsive decision. She believed that there must have been other reasons behind his move.

Perhaps it was his yet another trick.

Now everyone believed that Kevin was dead -- even Sam. He had perhaps made the world think that

he was dead before making his next attack against Kim.

The only way to defeat a dangerous criminal like Kim was to strike when he least expected.

Peter waved his hands.

"I, too, want to go back. But we can't!"

It seemed that Brandon was the only one watching them in the villa. But in fact, it wasn't the case. They

could never escape from the place on their own.

"But I must go back!" Anne was determined to leave. She couldn't stay in the place any longer.

Peter ran his fingers through his hair, wondering what to do next.

Anne sprang to her feet and darted toward the hall. Brandon was sipping on his coffee and playing

video games.

The boy's eyes were fixed on the screen. He was engrossed in his game.

Brandon didn't realize Anne's presence. He continued to play with a contented smile. Just then, Anne

picked up the cup and smashed it to the ground.

The boy jerked in shock. He turned around and glared at her. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

Anne squatted down and picked up a glass fragment and stepped backward. "I want to video chat with

Kim!"

"Our boss doesn't want to see you," Brandon answered, glaring at her.

"Are you sure?" An evil smile crept onto her lips.

Brandon frowned as he realized that she was up to something. As expected, Anne tossed the glass

debris in her hand and slowly slipped them into her mouth.

"No!"

"Are you out of your mind? Don't be stupid!"

Brandon and Peter screamed in unison. But she turned a deaf ear to the pleas and continued to stare

at Brandon.

Peter knew that Anne was depressed; the woman was desperate to leave the place. However, he didn't

expect her to do such a thing. Peter lunged forward to stop her. However, the woman pointed at her

throat as she swallowed her saliva, warning Brandon that she would swallow the glass piece too.

"Anne, the glass is too sharp. It would tear your internal organs. Don't be stupid!" Peter's body

stiffened. He didn't know what to do.

However, Anne continued to ignore him.

Thinking it might be a trick, Brandon calmed down and said. "I have killed numerous people in my life.

Why would you think that I'd be afraid of you? You can't frighten me!"

The boy's response irked Peter. He stepped forward, looking murderous. "Kevin is dead. She has

nothing left to lose. Do you think she wouldn't swallow them?"

"What? Kevin is dead?" A flash of surprise crossed Brandon's face. "That's my boss. He always

defeats his opponent!" He smirked. "I have been in S City for only two days, but my boss has already

got rid of Kevin. I think you understand how strong and powerful he is!"

"Cut the crap and think a way to stop her!" Peter snapped.

Brandon stopped smiling. He frowned and began to take the matter seriously.

He believed that Anne was only bluffing around to get what she wanted. But things would be different if

Kevin was dead.

Anne wouldn't hesitate to swallow the glass piece.

After a moment's hesitation, Brandon called Kim.

The man answered the call almost immediately. "What's up?"

"Boss, Anne wants to make a video call with you. She is threatening that she would swallow the glass

piece if she doesn't get to talk to you. What do I do now? Will you talk with her?" Brandon asked

respectfully.

After a while, he switched to video call and turned the camera to Anne.

Anne seemed surprisingly calm. She took a deep breath and finally spat the glass piece.

"Kim, are you happy now?"

The man nodded as his face broke into a victorious grin. "I'm very happy."

Then he shook his head with a smile and said sarcastically, "I thought Kevin would be a good

opponent, but I didn't expect him to be so weak."

Kim thought that fighting Kevin would be a difficult task and that he had to muster all his strength. But

the man had died too soon.

However, he was happy that he had finally got rid of his biggest enemy.

Anne's heart broke into a thousand pieces. She closed her eyes, trying to think of anything else other

than picturing Kevin falling off the cliff.

However, part of her believed that her husband was still alive.

Anne opened her eyes again and took a deep breath to regain her composure. She picked up the piece

of glass again and said, "I want to go back to A City!"

She wasn't asking for Kim's permission but only telling her decision.

The muscles on Kim's face tightened.

Anne put the glass fragment back into her mouth. A moment later, she squeezed her eyes shut as

blood trickled from the corner of her lips.

She had cut her mouth.

Anne was showing Kim what she could do if the man didn't let her go. The man wanted her to suffer

and drag her down to hell.

Now that Kim believed that he had killed Kevin, the man wouldn't let Anne die to accompany her

husband.

She knew that he wouldn't let her die without watching her suffer.

Anne believed that Kim would agree.

Kim's eyes widened as panic crossed his face. "Anne, what the hell are you doing?"

However, she ignored the man and continued to bite harder as blood continued to gush out of her

mouth.

"Anne, don't do this. Kevin would feel bad if he finds out that you have been torturing yourself." Peter

tried changing her mind. He wanted to step forward, but his body refused to move. The determination

on her face frightened him.

He was worried that she would end up dying as well.

The glass piece would tear her organs and lead to internal bleeding. No one would be able to save her

then.

"Kim, what are you thinking? Didn't you fucking kill Kevin? You killed the man with your bare hands and

saw him die right in front of your eyes. What are you still worried about? Don't you believe that he is

dead, or do you want Anne to die as well?" Peter knew that he couldn't persuade Anne. Therefore, he

tried changing Kim's mind.

"Watch your attitude!" Brandon growled in anger.

"Fuck you, Brandon! You better stay out of this!" Peter retorted.

Brandon's jaw dropped in shock. His gaze involuntarily shifted to Kim, who was glaring at Peter.

The murderous look on his face revealed that the man's anger had reached its pinnacle. Brandon was

Kim's loyal assistant -- he knew what his reaction meant. The boy stood aside and scowled at Peter.

"Okay, do whatever you want! If you want to go back to A City, just go!" Kim answered coldly and hung

up the call.

Anne's body grew limp. She slumped to the ground.

"Anne, listen to me. Open your mouth and spit out the glass." Peter grabbed Anne's shoulders and

began to shake her fiercely.

He pressed his shirt against her mouth to contain the blood flow.

"Anne, don't do this. Kevin will be heartbroken. Think about your children. They are all waiting for you!

Your kids need you, Anne," Peter cried.

The reminder about her kids managed stirred the emotions in her heart. Anne slowly opened her mouth

and spat the glass piece.

"Anne, let's go to the hospital." Peter held her arm and lifted her. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"No, I'm going back to A City now!" She walked to the table and wiped her mouth with a tissue.

She couldn't wait any longer.

Anne had to go home and find out what was going on. She needed to check if her children were safe

and ask Selma to tell her the truth about Kevin.

"I'm leaving right now!" She ran to the bedroom and began packing her bag.

Brandon grew frustrated. However, he had no choice but to follow her. The three flew back to A City.

It would take two days to reach A City if they traveled by train, so they chose to fly.

Anne returned to A City that evening. Without any further delay, she went straight to the Fu Family's

residence.

Her breath caught in her throat as she peeked into the house from the doorway. The entire house was

in white as if it was someone's funeral.

However, Anne couldn't believe that her husband had died.

Kevin was a smart, cool-headed person. He would never make a rash decision.

Anne believed that Selma had arranged everything to make the world believe that her son had died.

She thought that her mother-in-law was playing her part in Kevin's plans.

Anne refused to believe the truth. She stormed into the house to find out what was going on.

Brandon couldn't enter the Fu Family's house, so he had left early. Only Peter was accompanying

Anne.

Peter's heart sank at the sight of the bleak house. Kevin had taken the happiness and joy of the family

with him.

The house seemed eerily empty and cold without him. Peter hated Kevin for not listening to him. The

man had broken everyone's hearts.

He had left the world, abandoning his children and Anne, when he should be protecting them from Kim.

'I will never forgive you for what you have done, Kevin. You shouldn't have gone to meet Kim.'

Anne dropped her high heels while she crazily ran in. Peter picked them up and followed her, fearing

that something would happen to her.

Tears welled up in her eyes when she stepped into the hallway that was decorated in white.

"Anne, you are finally back!" Selma cried and ran to her. Her eyes looked bloodshot and puffy,

revealing that she had been crying all day. Her cheeks were sunken, and her hair had turned

completely grey. "I knew you would come back!"

Anne's legs gave away; she almost fell to the ground. "Mom, all of this is a set-up, right? We are just

trying to make everyone believe that Kevin is dead, aren't we?" she asked, grabbing Selma's hand.

Selma looked pained; tears gushed out of her eyes. She shook her head fiercely and swept Anne into a

tight embrace.

"Anne, I know that you can't accept the truth -- neither can I. Kevin is my son. But we can't change the

fact. Our beloved Kevin has left us, Anne!" Selma burst into tears.

It had been a day and a half since Kevin fell of the cliff. The police and the well-wishers of the Fu

Family had gone to look for him. But no one could find any news about him.

Even though no one could find his body, they knew that he wouldn't have survived after falling from a

high cliff.

Kevin was gone.

"No! Kevin has promised that he would always be with me and the children. He would never break his

promise!" Anne grabbed Selma's shoulders and stared into her eyes. "Mom, you have to believe that

Kevin is alive just the way I do!"

Selma clamped her mouth and continued to cry without making a noise. She, too, wanted to believe

that her son was still alive. However, she had gone to the cliff. No one could survive a fall from such a

height.

"Anne, honey, you are tired. You need to rest." Selma didn't have the energy to argue with Anne. She

thought that the woman needed time to accept reality.
