It'll Come Naturally

"What are you talking about? Dog eyes? Ha! It seems that you are not as polite as you claim to be, Annie An." Eugenia also got up from the chair with these words. She didn't want Annie to look at her in such a condescending way. And she didn't want to raise her head to look at Annie anymore.

"Well, spoken from a certified vicious woman. You should be the expert on that! Excuse me. I have something better to do than this kind of shit." Annie didn't think that she had anything else to say to Eugenia. And with that, she turned to leave.

"I heard that you have a daughter and a son. I am wondering, do they like playing games like hide and seek with their lovely mommy?" In truth, Eugenia didn't want to continue this conversation either. But she wasn't the type who would easily let an opponent like Annie go like this. She was the type of woman who always wanted to have the last word. That was why she casually and mildly threatened Annie in an indifferent tone.

"What do you mean?" Annie immediately turned around to look at Eugenia upon hearing her words? What did she mean? Was she threatening her with her kids? Did they send someone to do a close surveillance on them? Annie had a bad feeling about this all of a sudden.

"Nothing. It was just a friendly reminder. It is never easy to get into the Ke family and take our money, as you imagine." Eugenia tilted her head and looked at Annie with a smirk on her face. She felt happy when she saw a flicker of panic in Annie's eyes. But much to her disappointment, Annie quickly shook herself back into being calm and indifferent.

"I am not afraid to tell you this. I have no interest in your family's money at all. But if you dare to do anything to my kids, then I won't hesitate to make your company go bankrupt overnight, and I won't leave you a single cent," Annie said in a cold tone, gritting her teeth to contain her anger. Eugenia could say anything and do anything she wanted to her, but she could never do anything, not even lay her eyes on the ones she cared deeply about. If she did anything to her kids or Rain, Annie would surely make sure that she and the entire KD Group would pay for it.

"Keep bluffing. You can't do anything to our company. You are nothing but a jewelry designer." Eugenia paid no mind to Annie's threat. She had nothing to be afraid of, with this small designer. She was just bluffing. She had nothing but empty words and threats. "You can try if you don't believe me. As the daughter of the C Financial Group, it is easy for me to destroy your company if I want to." Annie was never as meek or gentle as Leena, who wanted to hide her real identity. In sharp contrast, Annie wasn't afraid of people knowing who she really was. In her eyes, if she could make things easier by revealing her identity, she would do it. She never wanted to make things complicated. She was a practical girl but at the same time, she was also cautious when it came to her loved ones. "Wha... what did you say? C Financial Group? The one in the UK? The company that cooperated with FX International Group on a case years ago?" Eugenia couldn't even believe her own ears. She looked at Annie in utter surprise. It couldn't be real! She just wouldn't believe it. How did Annie, an ordinary designer, become the daughter of the C Financial Group? If she wasn't lying, then it meant that Rain had more power, now that the two of them had gotten married. Now this was bad news for the Ke family. If this were true, then it would also be more difficult for them to beat Rain down and kick him out of the company. No! It couldn't happen! She had to get home immediately and tell her family about this shocking news. They could never let Annie and Rain merge their powers and aim at them. They should do something to destroy their relationship or Annie would surely help Rain to put the KD Group down. Eugenia's mind was racing, trying to process this new and unacceptable information. It seemed that things got complicated all of a sudden, and unfortunately for them, they no longer had the upper hand. They needed to have an emergency meeting for they had a lot of plans to make.

"Exactly! The C Financial Group. The one in the UK. The company that cooperated with the FX International Group years ago," Annie repeated every word to mock Eugenia. "So you are not so ignorant then, huh?" Annie glanced at her with disdain one last time before turning around and leaving with her head held high. In her eyes, Eugenia was just a dancing clown. She shouldn't be afraid of a lapdog like her. What could she possibly do anyway? The Ke family was not that powerful and were just deceiving themselves if they thought that they would scare Annie just like that.

This time, Eugenia didn't stop her. After watching Annie leave, she sat back down on the chair with a frustrated sigh, her nostrils flaring. She was at a loss with what to do next. Why? Why was that bastard so lucky? Firstly, he got the FX International Group on his side. And now, he even married the daughter of the C Financial Group. That was just utterly bad for the KD Group. They would have to find better ways of kicking Rain out of the KD Group now that they knew of his solid connections. And this infuriated Eugenia to no end. Annie remembered Eugenia's threatening words in her heart. That was why she was being extra careful when she was with the kids. Any mother would be overly protective of her children and Annie was no exception. She held their hands tightly whenever they went out together, and she would not let either of them get out of her sight for even a short second. She was on high alert in case something happened to them.

But Rain had no idea about all of this, mainly because Annie never mentioned her meeting with Eugenia to him. She just didn't want to add to his pile of worries. But Annie couldn't help but constantly worry about their kids. Eugenia sounded serious about her threat and she became overly anxious and even paranoid at the possible things she could do to her family. Rain could tell that there was something bothering her.

"Annie, what are you thinking right now. You look so serious. Are you nervous because of the upcoming wedding ceremony?" Rain asked in a soft voice, putting his arms around Annie's waist from behind with his chin on her shoulder. He wondered what Annie was thinking right now. She couldn't wipe the frown off her face.

"No, I'm okay. Everything is fine. I am not nervous. You are a bit late tonight by the way," Annie scolded in a light tone to change the subject, turning around in his arms and looking at him with disapproving eyes.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"I was out with a client. I have sent you a text message. Didn't you see it?" There was a faint smell of alcohol coming off his breath and his neck. It was clear that he had quite a few drinks with the said client.

"I put my phone upstairs so I didn't see your message. Did you drive home by yourself? Even after drinking?" Annie couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows. She was never fond of the smell of alcohol, even if it was from her own husband.

"No, of course not. William drove me back. Why? Are you worried about me?" Rain couldn't help but put his forehead against hers and rubbed his nose with hers affectionately. He liked this. He liked that she was worried about him. He felt loved and cared about.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
