Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 192

A day later, on a Monday.

The sun was shining brightly in the Starry Hotel, exuding a gentle warmth.

In the high-level conference room, people from both parties were already waiting for the meeting to start. The waiters of AN Group had already prepared the tea. If the tea got cold, they would replace it with a new one right away.

Sitting across the representative of AN Group were the official representatives of the senior management team of L Group.

L Group was also a reputable company abroad. Although it was not as powerful as AN Group, they should not be underestimated. Therefore, everyone in AN Group held this meeting to a high regard.

"Mr. Kevin!" Everyone was surprised to see Kevin arriving.

Normally, the vice president handled these agendas, but Kevin actually appeared this time and he even arrived early.

This was not like him. He was usually very arrogant and aloof.

"Mr. Kevin, I've heard a lot about you." People from L Group reached out to shake hands with Kevin, but every single one of them looked and felt awkward.

L Group had prepared well for this meeting to ensure everything went smooth. Neither the president nor Rose, who was the vice president of the group attended the meeting.

Noticing the cold stare and casual smile on Kevin's face, everyone immediately understood that he was furious.

Now that they had already offended him, all they cared about at that moment was to keep the contract.

Kevin nodded. He swept his eyes across the table and found that none of their guests ever appeared on Financial Times.

L Group was too bold.

"Mr. Kevin, this is our proposal. If it's possible, we can sign the contract now," one of the senior executives of L Group said with a sheepish smile.

Kevin stared at the contract and smirked, "Is this your final proposal?"

He held the contract in his hand, He looked like he was reading it carefully, but it also seemed like he might throw it away at any given moment.

The senior executives were all terrified of him. Kevin turned out exactly as the rumors said. He was indeed a frightening man. Although they were mortified, they had to bite the bullet because Rose decided not to come.

"That's right, Mr. Kevin. We are very serious, and we're all looking forward to cooperating with your company, so that we can achieve a win-win situation!" the senior manager proudly declared.

But the smile on Kevin's face did not diminish. It was not a friendly smile. It was a smile that looked sinister.

Then he placed the contract on the table and said, "We believe in your company's sincerity, but with such an important contract in place, does your deputation even count?"

His sarcastic and provocative words had successfully infuriated the L Group's executive team.

"Mr. Kevin, your concern is valid but arbitrary. As members of L Group, to sustain the honor and dignity of L Group is our responsibility. What we say naturally represents L Group as a whole." Their anger pushed Kevin to the edge of his patience.

"Well, if L Group is going to take any responsibility in the future, I just hope you can keep your words!" Kevin smiled knowingly, as if he knew that he would get the upper hand.

"You..." The senior executives were too frightened by his intimidating words to say anything else.

They were originally confident before the meeting started. But in front of Kevin, no matter how confident they were, they became uncertain of the outcome.

Of course, he was intimidating. Kevin was 1.89 meters tall, and looked more stunning than a model. His sharp eyes, elusive tone, and thoughtful smile were his most praised assets in the business circle.

But those were not the reason why he was terrifying. Offending him was like a mortal sin. No matter how big their company was, it would surely suffer, or worse, disappear from the business circle in a period of time.

"I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Kevin. Our vice president had something to deal with, but we'll call her right away." The senior executives decided that it was time to ask Rose to salvage the situation, hoping that they wouldn't leave a bad impression on Kevin.

Kevin sat down again with his long legs crossed and his eyes looking down. He no longer looked dangerous, but the people present had experienced an inner battle of wits and guts against him, so they did not dare to say another word.

It was not until Rose's arrival that the tension in the room was alleviated.

"My apologies, Mr. Kevin. I am the vice president of L Group. I had something urgent to deal with. I hope this misfortune won't affect our friendship." Rose opened the door immediately before she could clearly see what was happening inside the room.

As soon as she saw Kevin, she frowned. He was the man she met in AN Group's hotel.

Judging by his outstanding appearance, he must be the CEO of AN Group.

As she remembered his stone cold face that day, her face turned sour, but she managed to hide her disgust.

Her poise and elegance left Kevin a little lost. She had an air that was similar to Anne's.

The most similar thing between them was that Rose wore a dark purple fishtail skirt, and a pair of vintage high-heeled shoes, just like a queen.

However, Rose's self-confidence and arrogance were superficial. Her character was essentially different from Anne's genuine firmness and powerful aura.

"I can't help but wonder. What could be more important than the cooperation of L Group and AN Group?" The sound of Kevin's cold voice made Rose frown.

In the business circle, it was a common thing that the most important person didn't show up when the companies were talking about a contract. Why did Kevin have to make such a big deal of it?

"It was a personal matter. I'm sorry. I hope you won't be angry." Rose had to smile awkwardly.

Suddenly, the senior executives' anger was ignited. How could Kevin vent his anger on a woman? They thought they should do something do make him suffer in the future.

Kevin suddenly smiled and said sincerely, "I'm sorry. I didn't know you had some personal affairs to attend to. As a token of our apology, the AN Group will prepare the finest room and services for you in the Starry Hotel. We'll talk about it once you've gotten some rest."

Then he turned around and left.

"Mr. Kevin! What about our contract?" Rose sounded agitated. She gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to strangle the life out of him.

"I don't want to hear people say that I'm taking advantage of you. It would be better if we discuss this further when you've recovered." A few seconds later, Kevin disappeared from the corner.

"Damn it!" Rose cursed under her breath, trying her best to suppress her anger. It was a display of her social etiquette and elegance.

In the East Mountain Villa.

The villa commanded a good view of the mountain. It was the season when the tree branches and leaves were turning red. From a distance, there were several lakes in the forest.

Around the villa, the evergreen trees were like rows of guards, protecting the serene beauty of the villa.

In the living room, Anne gently shook the crib with her hands. Edward slowly fell asleep in the crib, and Anne finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When she stood up, she looked at the woods outside the window. She felt a little melancholic, remembering the time when she was still pregnant. She had been locked in here by Kevin, isolated from the outside world, without any channel to get any news.

She had her phone in her hand. When she realized that she could surf the Internet, she suddenly felt relieved. She opened her phone and was about to browse, but saw that the headline was about the contract between Kevin and L Group.

It was said that they had not reached an agreement. Seeing that, Anne frowned. When she realized that she wanted to ask him what had happened, she threw her phone on the carpet.

"I don't care what he's doing. We have nothing to do with each other anymore!" Slowly, Anne clenched her fists. Her eyes were fierce as if she was a soldier fighting a war alone.

At that same moment, Kevin arrived.

When they looked at each other, Kevin suddenly remembered that although he was eager to come home, it seemed that Anne did not welcome him.

Without so much as a glance, Anne went upstairs, carrying Edward in her arms.

Kevin followed Anne with his eyes, and he suddenly smiled.

He thought that the past was over, and he would treat the child well. But why couldn't Anne forgive him?

When Anne went downstairs again, Kevin stopped her. "Anne, come here, I have something to tell you."

Then he held her hand and pulled her to the sofa.

"We have nothing to talk about." Although she tried her best to struggle, his grip was so tight that she couldn't break free.

"I know everything that happened before was my fault, but I promise you... I will treat you, and our child well. Since you wanted to give our child a warm family, why don't you start by forgiving me?" There was a hint of coercion in his voice, but in fact, this was the most humble gesture that he could muster.

However, Anne was indifferent to his every word. She sneered, "Kevin, you know that I would do everything for my child, but that doesn't mean that I have to forgive you."

All of a sudden, she felt a pain in her heart that made it hard for her to breathe.

"Why?" Kevin, who had never liked asking questions, insisted on asking what was on her mind. Hearing that, Anne laughed maniacally.

"Because the child is not your whole world, but he is mine. You made Eddy sick because of your dumb mistake. Have you forgotten that if we couldn't find a suitable bone marrow, he wouldn't live to be seven years old?" Anne asked sarcastically.

"I will always be with you."

"Fuck off! Who the hell needs your company?" Her voice was colder than ice. She had become completely ruthless.

"What you've hurt is something more important than myself. You've ruined my life!" After speaking, Anne shook her head in disbelief and left the room.

After thinking for a while, Kevin realized that the harm he had caused her was not merely physical; it was psychological. He had broken her will to live, and the child had probably gave her life purpose again.

For the first time in his life, Kevin felt that he couldn't get what he wanted.

He wanted to grab it, own it, but he couldn't.

Whatever was thrown at him, he deserved it because this was his punishment.

He pounded his fist on the table and left with his coat. It was drizzling outside, and it was a bit cold. But in his eyes, as soon as he returned to the East Mountain Villa, he would drown in the mistakes he had made, and regret the things he couldn't get.

The car drove fast along the road, and the rain drizzled along the car's hood, but the droplets were immediately brushed away by the windshield.

When he arrived at the Green Light Villa, he stared at its emptiness and felt an overwhelming desolation.

In the quiet room, on the rosewood floor, Kevin's leather shoes made a sharp sound. The red wine on the table was opened last time, but he didn't finish it at that time because of an emergency.
