Chapter 552 Everything Was Finally Over
As soon as the officer said that, he firmly closed his mouth and looked at Anne worriedly.
Everyone knew what happened to Kevin. And although many cops in the police station had gone to
search for him, there was still no news yet.
Even though hearing nothing might be good, the longer the delay, the more likely there would be a
worst-case scenario.
Anne gazed up at the ceiling with tears in the corners of her eyes. Taking a deep breath and flashing a
gentle while, she uttered resolutely, "I trust you. I believe in this society ruled by law!"
The policeman nodded and pursed his lips once more.
No matter what, they couldn't disappoint her.
After getting out of the police station, Anne prepared to go home, but as soon as she got into the car,
her phone rang.
The moment she saw the unlisted number, she knew it was Kim. Frowning, she slid the screen and
answered it.
"Anne? Do you think the police can catch me?" Kim asked directly the second their lines connected.
From the moment she left her house, she knew that someone was closely tailing and keeping an eye
on her. So, she was not surprised when he called her.
"I believe they can!" Her voice was firm as she spat those words.
"If they really are capable, then why am I still alive?" Kim sarcastically retorted. With a smirk, he then
added, "They are just a bunch of useless people."
"Kim, don't be so arrogant. The world doesn't revolve around you. I don't care if you don't believe in the
police, but I do. And I'm willing to wait no matter how long it takes just to put you behind bars forever!"
Extremely irked, Anne hung up the phone.
Yes, what he said was true, but it didn't matter.
She just needed to believe in the police and in societal justice.
That night, all the people who cared about Anne called her. After all, the next day would be the day
she'd register herself on a one-way ticket to hell––she and Kim would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to
get married.
However, she remained calm and collected. There was neither any trace of panic nor anguish in her
eyes, much to everyone's surprise.
Even Eddy couldn't help but question why his mother had suddenly changed.
The latter seemed to have sensed what his son was thinking. So, with a deep breath, she uttered,
"Eddy, trust me. I will always be your mother and your father's wife. I won't take any risk, and I promise
to come back safely." Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
As her eldest son, Eddy was special and would always be her most sensible child in the world.
The young boy didn't say anything and just looked at Anne quietly. Although the latter's eyes were dark,
a gentle smile was etched on her face. There was no hint of dread, only peace and composure.
So, Eddy was reassured that her mother would keep her words and that his father would come back
soon.
Although he didn't know why he had such a feeling, he knew it would happen.
Without saying anything more, he turned away.
Watching her son's receding figure, Anne took a deep breath and laid on the bed before shutting her
eyes. Tomorrow, she would go to the battlefield, ready for war!
However, it was inevitable for her to feel uneasy. So, she took out her cell phone and sent Kim a
message.
"Kim, if you don't dare to go there tomorrow, just tell me know in advance. Don't make me waste my
time!"
After waiting for a long time for his reply, her phone finally beeped.
"I will use everything I have just to show you how naive you are! I will prove how useless those
policemen are!"
After reading it, Anne chortled and snuggled down under the bedclothes.
The next morning, under everyone's gaze, she drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
When she got there, she found herself alone.
'Did Kim really not come?' she thought with furrowed brows.
However, before she could go back, a car suddenly halted, and Kim got off.
"Let's go in and get this done with," he uttered with a straight face before striding inside.
With her eyebrows arched, Anne followed him.
When she got into the office, she suddenly stopped and eyed him coldly.
"I promised Eddy that I would always be his father's wife," she uttered in a stern tone.
"So what?" Kim asked, curving his right brow up.
"You can't escape!" As she yelled that firmly, Anne quickly pulled out a gun from behind and pointed it
at his head.
Caught off-guard, a hint of surprise glinted in Kim's eyes. He certainly wasn't expecting that she would
threaten him, let alone carry a gun here.
"Do you think you can kill me?" Breaking into a sarcastic laugh, he tore his clothes open, revealing a
bullet-proof vest wrapped around his body.
However, Anne didn't flinch and instead kept her gun aimed at his head. 'He might be wearing
protection, but his head was wildly exposed, ' she thought.
"Kevin had also pointed his gun at my head back on the mountain cliff, just like what you're doing right
now!" Kim sneered and walked forward without hesitation.
"Yes, and I'm doing it again." Suddenly, a familiar and domineering voice resounded behind him.
In a blink of an eyed, Kim's confidence dissipated. He turned his head slowly and stiffened at what
graced his sight––Kevin stood there, eyeing him coldly.
He was sporting a black windbreaker while a sly smile was plastered on his lips. He looked utterly
dauntless, as if he was sure that he would triumph this time.
With a gun in hand, he pointed at Kim's head again and asked, "Take a guess. Have I improved my
marksmanship?"
The latter sneered and looked back at Anne, who was still calm and undeterred. Therefore, it only
meant one thing––she had known that Kevin was still alive.
No wonder her behavior suddenly changed. It turned out that her dead heart came back to life and
started beating again.
Realizing that he was fooled, Kim snickered and clapped his hands.
The staff inside the bureau suddenly tore off their clothes, revealing their police uniform.
Even with this grand turn of events, no hint of panic glinted in Kim's eyes. Instead, he raised his hand
directly and flashed a smile, ignoring everything in front of him.
"I've been in the underworld for so many years that I've learned to see through your tricks. Don't worry.
I've already prepared a great gift for you. If I die, I will take you all with me to my grave." Kim's eyes fell
on Anne again.
"What happened to Colin was so painful for you. If that happened to thousands of families, how would
you feel? They might have nothing to do with you, but some children will lose their parents, while other
moms and dads will lose their kids. And they will all know that it is because of you!" Revealing his most
devious smile, Kim added, "People would rally in your house and in front of LF Group, cursing at you.
Will you be able to handle such a thing?"
Hearing this, Anne slowly closed her eyes. Kim was really crazy and terrible! He was not a human at
all!
"But that's just your opinion," the police head from the capital city uttered coldly. With his sharp eyes
piercing at the criminal, he added, "Here's a bad news for you: Brandon betrayed you and has told us
all your plans!"
"What?" Kim asked in shock. Thinking it was absurd, he adamantly shook his head and retorted,
"Impossible! Brandon can never betray me. It's me who gave him life and wealth. He can't betray me!"
"What if I tell you that he did it for the woman he loves?" Kevin asked indifferently, cracking the
firmness in Kim's eyes.
The latter shifted his gaze back at Anne, this time looking helpless and defeated.
Brandon would never betray him for money, but Kim didn't expect that the boy would change because
of love.
"There's no escaping today," the head officer mocked with a smirk.
"Don't worry. I'm not planning on running away anyway." Kim slowly put down his hand with a faint
smile.
However, seeing that, Kevin shouted, "No!"
The next second, Kim took out a dagger and sprinted towards Anne.
While all the guns were aimed at his heart, none of them had seen this coming.
Kim was about to get close to Anne, and although the latter had a gun in her hand, she didn't have the
strength to pull the trigger.
Suddenly, numerous gunshots blared in the building, bouncing off the cold walls and penetrating their
ears. Anne firmly shut her eyes and felt a pair of hands firmly wrapping her body. A few seconds after,
she opened her eyes and was shocked to see Kim covering her.
His chest was blazing with blood.
He was never planning to kill her, but actually even protected her.
Kevin's eyes were agape; he obviously didn't expect this at all.
"Anne, hate me. Hate me forever, but please don't forget me," Kim whispered domineeringly in her ear,
holding her tightly with the last bit of strength.
The next second, Anne fell to the ground with him. She could clearly see the pool of blood flowing from
his body.
He died in her arms and in front of her.
She was sure; he was undoubtedly dead!
And while all these happened in front of her, Anne was lost in a daze. But the picture of Kim running
towards her armed with a dagger kept appearing in her head.
From the very beginning, he never intended to hurt her. He just didn't want her to forget about him.
And now, she couldn't believe he ended his life this way. He used the most atrocious way to engrave
himself in her head forever.
He was indeed a wicked and overbearing man!
"Anne, let bygones be bygones!" Kevin comforted, holding her tightly in his arms as she trembled all
over.
Without saying anything, she stared at the bloodstains on her clothes. It was still warm, but her body
was entirely cold.
The next moment, tears streamed violently down her face. She didn't know why she was crying, but
she knew it was not because she loved Kim. The only thing she felt for him was hatred.
However, this cruel man, in his last moments, succeeded in stamping his mark in her head. How could
she forget about all these now?
"Kevin, why did he torture me like this?" Grasping the hem of Kevin's clothes, Anne was at a loss.
However, the man couldn't answer her question and instead just held her tightly. Kim had loved Anne
with all his heart. And although he could not win her heart, he triumphed in making her remember him
in this lifetime.
Feeling utterly weak, Anne kept crying until she eventually passed out. She fell into a deep slumber,
and the moment she opened her eyes again, Kevin's worried face met her gaze.
"Kevin, I want to go home. I want to go back to our house. The kids and your mother are waiting for
us," she uttered in a very meek voice.
Kevin nodded firmly and responded, "Okay, let's go home!"
Slowly, Anne pulled herself up and walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. It was already dark, but the
moon cast a bright light.
Under the moonlight stood Sam, Emily, Mark, Rose, Eddy, Sally, Simon, Selma, Colin, and Ella, All of
them waited patiently for Anne and Kevin. When they saw the two walking out hand in hand, they all
smiled and sighed in relief.
Finally, it was all over. Kim was gone forever, and the fear he induced on them dissipated together with
him.
'Kim, you are so cruel to make me remember you forever. But even with that, I will still never love you, '
Anne thought, gazing up at the starry sky.
She then turned around and uttered lovingly, "I love you, Kevin!" It was like she was taking a vow in
front of all their friends and family.
"I love you too, Anne!" Kevin stretched out his hand and hugged her tightly.
Amidst this heartwarming scene, all the people watching them broke into a smile, thinking that
everything was really over.
