Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 290 Anne Had Disappeared

Anne gave Sam, who seemed very flustered at the moment, a reassuring smile after hearing what he said.

Finally, he calmed down a little. He realized that he was just being worried for no reason. Only by going there in person would he know the real situation.

In the capital of K Country, six hours later.

The whole place was covered in snow. Although the sun was up, there was no trace of the snow melting due to the extremely low temperature.

As soon as Sam arrived at the airport, he went straight to Emily's company.

The fashion company, which was built in the center of the city, exuded an elegant feeling among its constituents. There were not a lot of people in the city, but it gave an impression of luxury and grandiosity.

Since the gates of the company were open, Sam entered without hesitation.

The moment he stepped into Emily's office, he was shocked to find Emily inside.

Unable to restrain the excitement in his heart, Sam rushed forward and hugged her, making her stunned. "I'm glad that you're fine. You scared me to death, you know?"

Emily was confused as to why he suddenly came. There must have been some misunderstanding on his part.

"I'm fine, Sam. Let go of me first. You're holding me too tight. Let's talk about what happened first," she said while struggling from his tight embrace.

Relieved, Sam let go of her at once.

"What happened? Why were you in such a hurry?" asked Emily.

"Well, I received a call from you when I was in A City. Nobody spoke at the other end of the line so I hung up. I called again, but it seemed that your device had been turned off. That made me worried so I came to see you directly." Even if she was already standing in front of him, concern was still apparent in Sam's eyes.

"I see. Well, when I left the company yesterday to go home, some thieves stole my bag. Don't worry, I wasn't hurt. I'm all right," Emily explained briefly.

After she finished speaking, an idea suddenly occurred to her. There was not much money in her bag, and those thieves moved swiftly. At the thought of this, she felt that what had happened was not a coincidence. It was premeditated.

"Hold on. They left immediately after they grabbed my bag. Normally, they would've called my parents, right? I don't understand why they called you instead," she asked with a frown.

Hearing this, Sam also felt confused. As he was in a deep thought, his phone rang unexpectedly. It was Kevin.

"Hey, what's the matter?" asked Sam.

But when he heard the voice over there, his expression became stern. "I'll be right back."

Emily was a little reluctant to see Sam leaving as soon as he came. "What's wrong? You just arrived."

With a solemn expression on his face, he replied, "Something happened to Anne."

The news was shocking for Emily, who immediately took her bag with her. "I'll go with you."

The two looked at each other in tacit understanding. They were thinking about the same thing. Apparently, what was happening seemed to be planned. Sam even felt that they had unconsciously fallen into a trap.

The office of the AN Group seemed to be lifeless. Although there were several people wandering around, nobody dared to go inside. This was because Kevin was surrounded by an incandescent aura that nobody wanted to get near him.

At that moment, he was at his table. His eyes were bloodshot from fatigue, yet rest did not seem to cross his mind. In fact, he had not closed his eyes ever since Anne had disappeared. To make things worse, he had just come back.

"Mr. Kevin." It was now time to report about the investigation. His assistant came in and looked at him hesitantly.

"Have you found out all the required data and contact information of the head of K Country?" asked Kevin in a cold tone.

"Yes, I have. But Mr. Kevin, I think you should take a rest," suggested the assistant.

"Just shut up and go back to work," scolded Kevin.

He rested inside his office for about fifteen minutes. After that, he decided to grab his keys and go to the airport.

Anne disappeared there. Kevin figured that there might be a clue regarding her sudden disappearance there. The possibility of her being in danger scared him out of his wits.

Never in his life had he felt afraid of anything until now.

In the monitoring room of the airport.

Normally, this room was silent and empty. After all, there were not a lot of important things that were needed to be checked always.

But today, the monitoring room was a bit cramped with people. Kevin's wife had disappeared, which was major news. Nobody dared to offend Kevin. They could not help but hope he would reduce the airport's punishment for their negligence.

"Have you found anything?" Kevin asked as soon as he came.

"Mr. Kevin, we’ve found some relevant video clips. Could you take a look at it for a sec?" said the head of the airport politely.

The people in the room made way for him as he looked into the screen. The said video, which had been found and edited for him, was played again. He stared at the screen without blinking, searching for any clues. In the video, after Sam had boarded the plane, Anne decided to leave the airport. Unfortunately, the range of the surveillance was limited, so Kevin only caught a glimpse of her getting in a taxi by the gates of the airport.

As seen in the video, Kevin's wife was not abducted in the airport. The general manager breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Thankfully, he was not the one who brought trouble to the airport.

Meanwhile, Kevin's heart seemed to have sunk into the bottom of the sea. Disappointment and confusion overwhelmed him. He replayed the video several times to confirm if the woman was indeed Anne, and it was.

Unfortunately, the license plate number of the taxi was not caught on camera.

"Get the surveillance video of the road near the airport," ordered Kevin to his assistant who came in with him.

He must find Anne no matter what. He could not give up, especially now that he had a clue.

"Kevin, how is Anne?" After finding out that Kevin was also at the airport, Sam and Emily came to him as soon as they got off the plane.

Kevin's back was at Sam when he spoke. Hearing his voice, he turned around and suddenly punched Sam hard. "I told you to send Anne home! Where did you bring her?"

He was regretful after what happened. If only he insisted on sending his wife back, such a thing would not have happened. It was all his fault.

He was blaming himself for being too careless.

Sam immediately understood what was going on. As it turned out, Anne had disappeared. He was at fault as well. Despite the guilt that he was feeling, he did not dare to escape. "I'm sorry. I wasn't able to take good care of Anne."

Standing aside, Emily was the first to react. "Now's not the right time to blame anyone. The most important thing right now is to find her."

Recalling what had happened that day from the beginning to the end, Emily stated, "Mr. Kevin, I think all this, from K Country to A City, was planned by someone. My mobile phone was stolen in K Country, and then someone called Sam. Now, Anne has disappeared. The timing is too perfect. From robbing my phone to making Anne disappear, it was done in just two hours."

Based on Emily's analysis, Kevin realized that this matter had something to do with the head of K Country. However, there was a possibility that the head could only be a scapegoat.

After all, while all this happened, he was entertaining the head of K Country.

"I see. I will investigate this matter carefully. If anyone hurts my Anne, I will make sure he'll pay the price," Kevin vowed with his fists clenched.

On a cruise ship leading to a secret island.

The sky was blue, and so was the vast sea. There were big, fluffy clouds overhead, making the scenery breathtaking and a sight to look at. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

In the most luxurious cabin of the cruise ship, there was a row of red wine perfectly placed on the table. At this time, Nicholas and Ryan were sitting opposite to each other, celebrating the success of their plan.

"I actually thought you'd fail. I didn't expect that you'd be successful," said Ryan, not sugarcoating his praise.

Nicholas smiled faintly upon hearing his words. "Yes. Our plan may have been successful this time, but you have to remember not to take Kevin lightly. His abilities and connections are not ordinary. I believe it won't take long before he realizes that we're working together, and takes necessary measures against us."

However, Ryan ignored his warning and just smiled scornfully at his companion. "So what? Now that the initiative is in our hands, Kevin can only bow down and admit defeat."

Just as he was feeling complacent, he received the news from the company. For the first time, he felt numb.

He pondered for a long time, yet he was still unable to believe it. "Impossible. How could it be so fast?"

Sitting in front of him, Nicholas was not surprised at all. "I warned you. Kevin's ability is beyond ordinary people's reach. In my opinion, you'd better go back and deal with this as soon as possible. Otherwise,

the company's performance will drop again even if you have destroyed Kevin. I'm afraid you won't be able to swallow such a large piece of fat meat."

After thinking for a while, Ryan thought that what Nicholas had said was reasonable. He was afraid that Kevin would come to him once he returned home. Suddenly, Anne appeared on his mind.

"Fine. I'll go back immediately, but you have to leave Anne to me," said Ryan without hesitation.

"Why?" asked Nicholas as he raised his eyebrows.

"Come to think of it, Anne is Kevin's treasure. If I take her with me, she might save my life when things get complicated. What do you think?" replied Ryan with a cruel smile.

Impressed, Nicholas smiled faintly at him. Ryan was indeed shameless. Although he said that he loved Anne, he was willing to ditch her at the critical moment.

"You're right, but I think it would be better if you return alone," advised Nicholas.

"Why are you asking me to return alone? Do you have another plan?" Ryan was clearly confused at Nicholas' suggestion.

His words made Ryan look at him with scrutiny.

With a smile, Nicholas defended himself, "No, I don't. It's just that Anne is pregnant. Going there in a rush would take a toll on her body. I think she should have a good rest for the meantime."

"Unfortunately, I don't care whether she rests or not. At the critical moment, the most important thing is to save my own life," said Ryan disapprovingly.

"You're right. But do you understand that if something happens to a pregnant woman, she and the baby will die?"
