Unfortunately, time would never stop for anyone. The two of them finally returned to the hotel and fell
asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.
The next morning, Kevin woke up to his ringing phone. With half-opened eyes, he glanced and caught
the caller's name.
It was none other than Mr. Huang. Kevin had tried hard to get in touch with Mr. Huang, but he seemed
extremely busy. Hence this phone call surprised him. He couldn't help but wonder the reason behind
this call.
He couldn't get rid of the bad feeling he had begun to feel.
Wanting to put his mind to rest, Kevin answered the phone. On the other side, Mr. Huang's voice was
not clear and seemed distant. "Mr. Kevin," he called out.
"Mr. Huang, I have had trouble trying to reach you," Kevin said in a low voice as he walked out of the
bedroom in pajamas. Gently, he closed the door behind him, afraid his voice would wake Anne up.
"Ha-ha..." Mr. Huang gave a little laugh. After a short pause, he explained, "Recently, my company has
just received a big contract. Now I'm so busy, I hardly have time for rest. I've been going to other cities.
I just arrived yesterday and heard about you, Mr. Kevin. My assistant is quite thoughtless. He should
have informed me about this important call. But Mr. Kevin, don't worry. I'll fire him immediately!"
Kevin smiled slightly but made no comment. After a while, he cut to the chase and said, "Since you
have contacted me, I have something to say. Do you still want to sign the contract that you had
discussed with me before?"
The truth was, even before he received the answer, Kevin knew what Mr. Huang's answer would be.
However, he thought it was best to hear it from him.
As expected, Mr. Huang's laughter immediately sank. After a long silence, he sighed heavily and said
awkwardly, "Mr. Kevin, when we talked about this matter, I had agreed. Logically speaking, I can't go
back on my word, but the company has received a new contract. And hence I don't have enough
money to continue with our contract."
"That's very unfortunate, but I would hate to make things difficult for you. Under the circumstance, it
would be best to give up our contract." Kevin's voice was indifferent and casual as if he didn't take Mr.
Huang's words seriously.
Mr. Huang, who had braced himself for Kevin's anger, was quite surprised. Normally businessmen
would take such news badly.
The contract Kevin was talking about is a big one. If he really couldn't find a partner, then the AN Group
was bound to lose three billion. Kevin's calm reply was quite surprising.
However, when Mr. Huang was wondering what was happening, Kevin's voice came again. "Even if we
cannot become business partners this time, there is still a possibility to join hands in the future. I'm
looking forward to our next cooperation."
Mr. Huang was even more confused. But he simply responded to this with a few polite words. Kevin
hung up the phone soon after this.
"So the result is the same as we expected." Anne's voice came from the door.
Kevin turned around and smiled at her. She walked over and threw herself in his arms.
"The bigger contract Mr. Huang is talking about must be his cooperation with Kim. It seems that Kim
has given Mr. Huang a lot of benefits hence he had no choice but to agree." Kevin yawned slightly and
held Anne in his arms. Her soft body against his skin made him want to cuddle. He wished this moment
would last forever.
"If you are sleepy, we should sleep a little longer. I mean it's still early," she said while caressing his
face lovingly.
Kevin nodded and found a comfortable posture. The two of them didn't enter the bedroom. Instead,
they lay on the sofa, tightly hugged each other, and slowly fell asleep.
Even though this phone call hadn't given him good news, his mind was quite at ease. Once his
suspicion was confirmed, he felt relieved. As a result, he enjoyed a good sleep.
It was not until noon that the two of them woke up from hunger. They smiled at each other, put on their
clothes, and went to the restaurant for lunch.
However, when they returned to the hospital to visit the old man, they found that the hospital was
swarming with reporters. The two of them looked at each other, quickly hiding themselves in a corner.
Anne rang the nurse and learned that these reporters had come to interview the old man.
It had been a while since there was no news about this famous couple. The second they heard this
accident have something to do with Anne and Kevin, they rushed to the hospital.
They were eager to know if they had indeed harmed the elderly man. This was an opportunity they had
to make use of.
Anne looked up at Kevin who was smiling helplessly. When they saw Kim yesterday and were sure that
this matter had something to do with him, they had already expected this would happen, so they didn't
feel surprised.
The entertainment reporters crowded in front of the old man's bed. Seeing so many reporters near him,
the old man looked scared.
"Excuse me, please. Please be quiet. Don't disturb the patient!"
"Everyone, this is a hospital and you can't interview the patient here. Please get out or your behavior
can harm the patient's heath!"
The security guards of the hospital also rushed in, trying to shoo the entertainment reporters away, but
there were so many entertainment reporters. It was hard to take all of them out. The security guards
tried their best to calm the people around.
Abel, the old man's son, sat with the old man. Today, he was wearing long sleeves, hiding about most
of his tattoos. He also wore a hat that covered the ones on his face. And now he was crying pitifully.
"My father is always kind and never quarrels with people. All the neighbors know him well and have
never had an issue. However, this heartless Kevin behaved brutally with my dear father. He is over 70
years old. How can he be treated like this?"
Abel put his hands on his eyes, rubbing them. He was a spectacular actor. The reporters saw his eyes
become red and took him for a son who was suffering from grief.
"The Fu Family is rich and powerful. Kevin thinks he can do as he pleases with us innocents. Does
money give him the right to beat old people as he likes?
We have asked for nothing but a small compensation. However, instead of showing pity, he threatened
us!
I have no choice but to turn to the kind netizens for help!"
