Renewal Of Love

Chapter 472 LF Company's Launch

Kevin didn't agree with his mother's comments about Eddy's stay with Bob's parents. However, he had

no choice but to keep silent for the sake of his family. To his relief, she had only complained about her

discomfort but didn't do anything outrageous.

Time flew in the blink of an eye. The next morning, Kevin arrived at the LF Company on time for the

grand opening.

Everyone knew that the LF Company belonged to Anne and Kevin.

There had been a great deal of news about Anne on the Internet of late.

From being called a whore, and a disgrace to womanhood, Anne had turned into a virtuous wife and a

talented designer. The outfit she designed had turned Cherry into a noble queen.

No other designer, except Anne, could make such a miraculous transformation possible.

Kevin had also been the reason for Cherry's transformation, but the outfit seemed to bring out a part of

her persona that people had not witnessed before.

Actresses usually used the clothes and make-up to outdo their competitors. Seeing that Cherry had

garnered all the attention at the award ceremony, all the actresses approached Anne to design their

clothes. However, after finding out her identity, they waited for her to accept their request.

People were excited that Anne had started her own clothing line. They were ready to spend all their

money to have their clothes designed by her.

Women enjoyed dressing up and never said no to clothes that accentuated their looks. Therefore,

Anne's business had received a great response from everyone.

The news about the opening of the LF Company had been the talk of the town for nearly two weeks.

However, there were all kinds of rumors about it that people began to question the authenticity of the

news. They thought that this was perhaps yet another hoax. The opening ceremony of the company at

such a critical time had shocked everyone.

A long crowd had assembled in front of the company on the day of its launch. Anne arrived in a hurry;

the eagerness of the people had taken her by surprise. She didn't expect such a welcoming response

from everyone.

"Morning, Anne."

Anne spun around as she heard a familiar voice. Emily was grinning at her. Unable to contain her

curiosity, she walked up to her. "What's going on? Why have so many people assembled here?"

Emily looked at Sam, gesturing him to answer her. "You are now an online celebrity designer. Many

people want you to design their clothes. But considering your popularity and reputation, they can only

wait until you get free.

Everyone's happy that you have started a company. They now have a talented designer whom they

can fully rely on," he explained.

Anne knew that people would understand her talent one day. However, the reaction of the people

overwhelmed her.

"But look at the crowd. There are too many of them. Isn't that odd?" Anne looked at Sam, shaking her

head in disbelief.

"Cherry has come here to celebrate your opening ceremony," he answered.

Kevin had changed Cherry's life in two weeks. She had become more successful and popular than her

competitors. All her dreams had come true in a short time.

Kristine had become a brand name now. She was the dream girl of the youth. People bought all the

products she endorsed without any hesitation. The last two weeks had earned her incredible fame and

fan base that her entire career in the industry couldn't.

All her fans had arrived at the LF Company, hoping to catch a glimpse of their diva.

The streets were crowded with people early in the morning. Anne knew that more people would join in

the afternoon.

She pursed her lips; her face darkened. Although Kevin didn't invite Kristine, the woman had chosen to

attend the company's launch to show that she was under Kevin's protection. It was a warning to the

people in the industry who tried offending her.

Kristine's enemies would retreat now and leave her alone. After all, Kevin was the most powerful man

in A City.

Anne looked away, ignoring the uproar. Although Cherry's presence irked her, she knew that the

woman didn't deserve to be her opponent. Emily, Anne, and the others walked into the company.

Rose was anxious first; she had been checking the time, waiting for Anne's arrival. Every moment's

delay made her heart beat faster. However, she finally calmed down. She heaved a sigh of relief and

urged Anne to change her clothes and get ready soon.

Although Anne was too agitated to do anything, she knew that attending the ceremony in her current

outfit was inappropriate. Therefore, she quickly changed into a formal outfit.

Emily's belly was getting prominent with time. Sam didn't let her run around. He kept an eye on her

every movement.

No one could stop Sam from being an overprotective husband. But Emily was happy; she enjoyed her

husband's undivided attention.

Everyone was happy for the couple.

"Morning, Mr. Kevin." Kristine sashayed toward Kevin and greeted him after interacting with her fans. A

subtle blush crept on her face when she looked at the man's magnetic eyes.

Everyone in the industry knew that Kevin supported her. This piece of information led to several

speculations. People started assuming that Kristine was Kevin's mistress.

Cherry knew that getting close to the man was impossible. However, his good looks and wealth excited

her.

Kevin didn't expect to see Cherry. He glanced at her indifferently and looked away.

His ignorance broke Cherry's heart. She sighed helplessly and left with her agent.

The mere look on Kevin's face revealed his displeasure in seeing her. Cherry was smart enough to

understand him. She had become a famous star only because of this couple. Therefore, she didn't dare

to annoy them.

As expected, more people began showing up at the company. All of them were Cherry's fans.

The woman didn't show off in front of them, rather enjoyed a good time with her fans and tried her best

to gain their love.

Anne and Kevin cut the ribbon to mark the launch of the LF Company. Their business exclusively

catered to the needs of women and sold a range of outfits for every occasion.

They offered discounts and promotions to celebrate the launch of the venture.

Many girls lined up at the shop, skimming through every outfit. The clothes on the mannequins amazed

everyone. Trying them on gave them a feeling as if they, too, were stars.

Both Anne and Rose were talented designers. They didn't showcase many outfits in the shop, rather

designed clothes, yielding to the personal requirements of the customers.

They aimed to please their customers and create the outfits they desired to wear. The company paid

significance to the quality of their products, not quantity.

Soon, the clothes of the LF Company set a fashion statement. The demand for the products drastically

increased and became popular among the youth. They didn't think all their products would get sold out

within a day.

Both of them were satisfied with the customers' response and continued to speed up their production.

Everything was back on track.

Anne and Rose had never collaborated in the past. Their relationship eventually got better, and their

bond grew stronger with time.

Anne returned home after a tiring day at work. The house was eerily silent, and she sensed that

something was wrong.

Although she enjoyed her work and spent most of her time designing, she would never ignore her

family. They meant the world to her.

At the dinner table, Anne picked up some food and fed it to Sally, who gulped it down like a rabbit. Just

as Anne opened her mouth, Selma threw the chopsticks on the plate with a loud thud.

Her body stiffened at the sight of her angry mother-in-law. She glanced at Kevin: the man was eating

with his eyes fixed on the plate as if nothing had happened.

"What the hell have you cooked?" Selma bellowed, casting a disgusted look at the cook. "You have

been working with the Fu Family for several years. Don't you know what I like? This food tastes like

shit. You have one job! Can't do you do that properly? Perhaps we have given you too much comfort

that you have forgotten your duties."

The cook shuddered in shock. She had cooked the same way she usually did and wondered why

Selma was complaining about the food. However, she didn't dare to utter a word and apologized to her

instead.

Anne looked at Kevin again. The man was still eating with his head down.

Since Kevin chose to ignore everything, Anne had to take control of the situation. She understood that

Selma was in a bad mood because of Eddy. She missed him.

Selma had given a week's time for Anne to pick up Eddy from the hospital. However, five days had

passed, and she didn't see any sign of Anne doing anything about it. That was the reason she made a

fuss on the dinner table.

"Please continue with your work," Anne instructed the cook. The woman smiled gratefully and left

before Selma could say another word.

Selma's frown deepened as she turned to look at Anne.

Just as she opened her mouth to say something, Anne interrupted, "Mom, I know you miss Eddy. In

fact, I miss him a lot too."

The anger on Selma's face was replaced with sadness. She looked at Anne with expectant eyes.

"Mom..." Anne shook her head and sighed. "I know that you raised Eddy when I wasn't around. You are

a great mother, and I admire you for that. You are the reason behind Kevin's victory and what he is

today. Kevin is a wonderful husband and a responsible man. I want Eddy to be like his father."

Kevin put his chopsticks down and smiled. He knew what Anne meant -- they both had talked to Eddy

on the phone last night.

Eddy informed them that Bob's mother was in a stable condition now. However, he wanted to stay with

her for a few more days until she fully recovered.

Both Kevin and Anne were surprised by his decision, but they were equally proud of their son.

Although Eddy was a young boy, he had shown the endurance and perseverance of an adult. Not

many kids would place someone else above their needs.

Selma waved her hands in exasperation, wondering what on earth she was talking about. From the

way the conversation began, she sensed what Anne was going to say.

"Eddy is just a child. He doesn't need to take care of anyone. He needs to enjoy his childhood and play

like other kids. Besides, he should receive advanced education now instead of wasting his time taking

care of that woman.

You are right. I may be responsible for Kevin's success. I have instilled some good qualities in him, but

it is mainly because of his education. He learned the right things at the right time. Eddy should be doing

the same."

Anne pursed her lips. She hadn't finished her words, but Selma had already jumped to a conclusion.

"Mom." Kevin rubbed his temples and looked at his mother. "I know you love Eddy. All of us love him,

so we should accept his choice. I know that you spoke to Eddy this morning. Didn't he tell his decision

to you?"

When Kevin came home in the evening, he had asked the servant if Eddy had called, to which he

informed him that Selma had already talked to him.

Selma knew that they had to respect Eddy's decision. However, being a protective grandmother, she

couldn't accept that her grandson had chosen to take up the role of someone else's son instead of

spending time with her.

The heir of the Fu Family deserved better than that.

"Eddy will take over the Fu Family's business when he grows up. He might have to face many

obstacles and deal with business competitors. I want him to experience everything now so that he

grows up to be a strong, independent man. I want my son to make us proud rather than being a spoiled

brat,"

Kevin replied, staring into his mother's eyes.

Selma shook her head and sighed.

Eddy was a smart kid. She couldn't watch him being an emotional fool. Moreover, the boy was getting

attached to the couple, which stirred her insecurities. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Kevin, are you serious? Do you even realize what you are saying?" Selma snapped.
