Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1727 Bad Guys Started Plotting Again (Part Five)

"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. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"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.

"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.
