My Killing President

Chapter 683 Karma

"Xiao-an, it's getting late now and you should go back already!" Nancy spoke right at the moment

before their lips touched.

Antonio Lu's movement stopped as well. He looked at Nancy and hesitated for a few seconds. After

that, he moved back and looked outside, "You are right. It is getting late now and you should rest

already. Let me visit you again tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Nancy nodded and she just hoped that he could leave faster.

And so, Antonio Lu left in Nancy's ‘hopeful' eyes.

The moment he left, Nancy breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but recalled that she now has an

excuse to meet Alistair the next day. That seemed to be… Something worth a celebration!

The next day.

Early in the morning, Nancy dressed herself up and went to Alistair's company.

Since everyone knew her relationship with Alistair already, she didn't need to ask for permission and

walked into his office directly.

Alistair looked at her and crossed his fingers, "Why are you looking for me?"

"I want five million!"

Alistair frowned, "Why do you need so much money?"

"I have my own reasons!"

"You would definitely have a reason to request such a huge amount of money so suddenly. Let's hear

it!" Alistair closed the files on his desk and prepared himself to have a proper talk with her.

Nancy frowned. She knew she couldn't tell him she needed the money to help Antonio Lu. Otherwise,

Alistair would just jeer on her!

Therefore, Nancy decided not to tell him.

"I want to buy something!"

"You don't need five million for that!" After saying that, Alistair took out his pen and cheque book. The

man wrote on it and passed to her, "One million is enough!"

When Nancy saw the cheque in front of her, she frowned in annoyance, "Alistair, I am simply taking the

money daddy left me. Why do I need your permission?"

"Your daddy entrusted the money for me because he wanted me to keep an eye on you. Otherwise, he

could just give it to you directly, why go through me?"

"You… I don't care, I want five million!" Nancy said. She was in a good mood to see him but it was

completely ruined now.

Alistair stared intently at her, "Tell me, why do you need it?"

The man was suspicious that Nancy requested so much money all of a sudden.

"I said I want to buy something!" Nancy said determinedly.

"Okay…" Alistair took out his black gold credit card, "You can just use my card to buy anything you

want. It is unlimited!"

"You…"

As she looked at Alistair's confident look, she was infuriated but there was nothing she could do.

In the end, she looked at that one million cheque and snatched it over, "I will call my daddy!" After

saying that, she took the cheque and left.

Alistair continued to sit there and didn't move. His eyes turned into a cold chill the moment Nancy went

out.

Annabelle and Covi was shopping in the mall. As they were buying their goods, they were complaining

that Dorie's change of job had made her too busy. She couldn't even find time to shop with them.

However, when Annabelle was almost done and wanted to leave the mall, she saw a familiar figure.

Wasn't that Antonio Lu?

Annabelle's eyebrows furrowed deeply. What about the woman next to him…?

When she saw that they were so intimate together, she had a good guess in her heart.

At that time, she took out her phone right away and snapped a picture.

Covi was puzzled and she asked, "Annabelle, what are you doing?"

After Annabelle took their picture, she kept her phone back carefully, "It's nothing!"

When Covi saw that Annabelle kept staring in the same direction, she followed her gaze out of

curiosity.

"Are you looking at Antonio Lu?"

When she heard that name from Covi, Annabelle turned his head over and looked at her in

puzzlement, "Do you know him?"

"You mean that infamous playboy? Of course! We were just gossiping about him yesterday. The man's

company had gotten into some trouble lately and he has been borrowing money everywhere. I even

heard that he found himself a rich old woman and by leveraging on his appearance, he cheated her

money!" When Covi was talking about that, she was showing a deriding expression.

When Annabelle heard that, she couldn't help but opened her mouth wide in shock, "Are you serious?"

Covi nodded, "Yeah!"

Annabelle was quiet. Although she didn't like Nancy at all, the woman hadn't done anything to hurt her.

Now that she learnt of something like that, she just couldn't sit back and ignore it!

When Annabelle looked forward again, Antonio Lu was nowhere to be seen anymore. She pondered Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

for a while and decided to discuss that with Alistair.

After getting back to the company with Covi, the friend went back to work while she simply went into

Alistair's office.

As Annabelle walked inside, Alistair was giving Jack some instructions. The moment the man saw

Annabelle walking in, he simply said to Jack, "You may go now!"

Jack nodded and wanted to get out. When he walked passed Annabelle, he greeted her, "Miss Xia!"

Annabelle smiled and Jack exited the office.

Alistair sat on his director's chair and looked at Annabelle. His lips curled up as he asked, "How was

your shopping? Are you tired?"

Annabelle walked towards him and left her goods on his desk. Alistair stretched out his hand and

Annabelle held him.

"Quite enjoyable, but a little tired!" Annabelle said gently. Ever since getting pregnant, she was exuding

a feminine temperament. Whenever Alistair saw her, he just felt that he could never get enough of her.

"Sit down and rest for a while!" After saying that, Alistair let Annabelle sit on his lap.

Annabelle smiled and looked at him. After considering for some time, she made up her mind and

spoke, "Alistair, I think I need to tell you something!"

As Alistair looked at her, his gorgeous face was smiling gently. His gaze was feeling with affection,

"What is it?"

"When I was shopping today, I saw Antonio Lu with another woman. After that, I heard that his

company was facing some financial trouble. And the man had been looking for women for financial

help…" Annabelle told Alistair everything she learnt about the man.

After hearing that, the smile on Alistair's face slowly subsided and a storm was brewing in his eyes.

"Who did you hear that from?"

"Covi. She said that the design department was gossiping about that. Many people had seen him with

different women!" Annabelle said.

Alistair's expression turned grim, "It seemed like he is trying to play with fire!"

Annabelle squinted her eyes and looked at Alistair. She asked the man probingly, "Alistair, did you

know about this?"

Alistair stared in her eyes, "I simply know that his company was having some cash flow problem and he

was in some debt. But I didn't know he was doing something so bad!"

Annabelle was silent as well. Antonio Lu had a decent look but he was actually such a trash bag.

Alistair recalled something all of a sudden and his expression changed. Annabelle observed his change

in expression and she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nancy just came to ask me for money!"

"What money?"

"Before master left, he left some money for her in my place. To be exact, that money was meant to put

Antonio Lu to test. Nancy came to request five million earlier!"

"Are you saying that Antonio Lu cheated Nancy!?" Annabelle asked.

Alistair nodded.

If that was the case, Antonio Lu was just despicable.

"What do you plan to do?"

"I shall give him the rightful punishment!"

"What would Nancy do if you do that?" Annabelle asked, "Maybe Nancy was deceived and taking his

side!"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Annabelle pondered for a while and said, "Maybe I should go talk to her!"

"You?" Alistair looked at her and he was dubious.

Annabelle looked at him and raised her chin, "Why? Do you doubt me?"

"No, don't you mind?"

"Of course I do. However, we need to consider the gravity of the situation. If Nancy were to get involved

with such complications, you wouldn't be able to live in peace. At that time, it would bother me even

more!" Annabelle said smilingly. After all, Nancy hadn't done any harm at all. She simply fell in love with

the wrong man. Moreover, Annabelle should be more gracious towards her considering her age.

When Alistair heard Annabelle, his lips curled up, "Miss Xia, I like how much you care about me!" He

said.

"Mr. Mu, don't be overthinking. I am doing it for the baby!"

"Good excuse!"

Annabelle gave him an eye roll and Alistair laughed heartily, "How was it? Do you want me to go with

you?"

"There's no need. If you are present, she might feel humiliated and we don't know what might happen!"

Annabelle shook her head as she pondered.

Alistair contemplated for a while and nodded, "You are right. Then you should be more careful. Call me

if anything happens!"

Annabelle stood up from his lap and nodded, "Okay, I will!"

"I'll get Coby to send you!"

"There's no need for that, I can just drive myself!" Annabelle continued, "If Coby were to send me over,

doesn't that prove that you know about it as well?"

Alistair was worried, "But how can you drive now?"

"I am simply in my first trimester. Why not? No problem at all!" She said cheerfully.

Since the woman said that, Alistair had no choice but to agree, "Okay, make sure to drive safe!"

"Okay!"

Therefore, Annabelle left Yun Rui. After getting in the car, she made a call to Nancy.

Nancy didn't save her number. When she was still frustrated with the money, she received a call.

"Hello, Nancy, it's me, Annabelle!"

Nancy was shocked to receive a call from Annabelle.

What business does she have with her?

"Is anything the matter?" Nancy asked indifferently. She had a bad hunch about Annabelle looking for

her so suddenly.

"I have something to talk to you about. May I ask if you are convenient to meet up?"

Nancy had no intention to shy away from her invitation. She looked around and said, "I am outside!"

"Great. Tell me your address and I'll go over your place right now!"

After Nancy gave her the location, Annabelle drove over immediately.

After picking up Nancy, Annabelle brought her to a coffee house. It was a quiet and comfortable place

to talk.

The two women sat face-to-face and Nancy wasn't showing a good attitude, "What business to have

with me?"

Annabelle pondered for a while and decided to tell her straightforwardly, "I have something important to

tell you!"

"What is it?" In Nancy's opinion, Annabelle came to declare war. She probably came to tell her how

happy she was with Alistair.

"Leave Antonio Lu, he isn't the right man!"

When Nancy heard that, she sneered coldly, "Annabelle, are you here just to tell me that?"

"Yes!"

"You just can't bear to see me happy?" Nancy asked.

Annabelle looked at her and frowned faintly.

"Annabelle, I believe you can tell that I like Alistair. Aren't you happy to see me with someone else?"

Nancy glared at her and asked. It was obvious that the woman was pissed with Annabelle.

Annabelle was unbothered as well. Now that she looked at Nancy's attitude, it simply proved that she

was still a teenager. There was no need to be calculative with her.

"I could tell that much. However, there is no need for me to hope for you to be with someone else!"

Annabelle sat there and said indifferently.

"You don't have to act like a saint!"

"I wasn't trying to do that at all. Nancy, honestly, I have never treated you as an opponent or rival. It

doesn't matter how many times you saved Alistair or how long you had known him, all those didn't

mean anything to me!" Annabelle looked at her and said indifferently. Although her tone was flat, she

was talking with an educating attitude.

Nancy's eyebrows furrowed deeply and she was boiling in anger. However, she tried her best to

suppress her anger, "If that's the case, why are you looking for me?"

"I simply came to tell you that Antonio Lu wasn't like what he appeared. You shouldn't believe anything

he says especially when he asked for money!"

"What does that have to do with you? More than that, who gave you the right to judge him like that?

Annabelle, does it make you uncomfortable if I have someone by my side!?" Nancy asked. She was so

angry that she wasn't speaking sensibly.

Annabelle was calmed and she took out her phone and showed Nancy the picture she took earlier,

"Look at this!"

"You…" The moment Nancy wanted to say something, she saw the picture on her phone.

It was taken clearly, that Antonio Lu was walking intimately with another woman. His arm was grabbing

her waist and anyone could tell their relationship by just a look.

When Annabelle saw that Nancy was quiet, she continued, "This picture was taken this morning.

According to what I know, Antonio Lu's company is in a huge debt. Now that he couldn't find enough

cash to settle the debt, he had no choice but to approach some rich woman and cheated them to invest

in his company!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? His company is facing some cash flow issue but that was

because of his brother making a mistake in investment. He was doing that to pay back his younger

brother's debt!"

"Younger brother?" Annabelle frowned and chuckled, "His brother was arrested for drug abuse one

year ago!"

Nancy was stupefied.

So everything Antonio Lu said was a lie?

"How did you know?"

"The first day you introduced him to us, Alistair had already dug out all of his past. We simply thought

that his company was facing financial difficulties but we didn't expect him to stoop so low, cheating

women's money!" Annabelle said.

Nancy raised her head and stared at Annabelle in disbelief. Although she said nothing, Annabelle could

tell that she understood her perfectly. The woman started to suspect Antonio Lu.

"Nancy, it doesn't matter what happened between you, me and Alistair. You should know one thing for

sure, even if you couldn't end up in a relationship with Alistair, he would never do something to harm

you!" Annabelle enunciated every word and told Nancy seriously.

Nancy fell back to her chair. After a long while, she spoke, "If I find out that this picture is edited, I will

never let you off!"

Annabelle simply smiled, "I don't have any reason to do that. Feel free to investigate him yourself!"

"There's no need..." Nancy said suddenly. She simply felt everything was too difficult to swallow.

Her heart and mind were entangled in a mess. She had long suspected the way he treated her. And

after hearing the truth, she was just afraid.

After sometime, she turned her head towards Annabelle and looked at her, "Then, what should I do

now?"

"Now you must leave Antonio Lu!" Annabelle said.

When Nancy heard that, her eyebrows furrowed deeply and she was hesitant.

"Nancy, if Antonio Lu was really a person like that, he will not give up until he gets what he wants. He is

such a cunning and wicked person, who knows what he will do!" Annabelle said.

Nancy had always dreaded to stay in Antonio Lu's apartment. Now that Annabelle said that, she had

gotten a reason to leave. She nodded hurriedly, "Got it. I will go back and pack my staff!"

Annabelle pondered for a while and said, "Let me accompany you!"

Nancy looked at her with a surprised gaze, "Aren't you angry with me?"

"There's no need for that!" Annabelle replied.

Nancy didn't know what she should say. And so, the two of them departed to the apartment to get

Nancy's luggage.

Annabelle drove her and the two women hadn't been talking in the journey. When they reached the

apartment, Nancy said, "We are here, I'll get up now!"

"I'll wait for you here, just give me a call if you need anything!"

Nancy glanced at her and nodded. After that, she got upstairs.

It was late in afternoon and the sun was setting. Annabelle sat in the car and looked upstairs.

At that time, she took out her phone and called Alistair.

"How was it?"

"I managed to convince her. Now she is in Antonio Lu's apartment to pack her stuff and I am waiting for

her downstairs!"

When Alistair heard that, he breathed a relief. He asked Jerry Kuang to persuade the stubborn girl but

he failed. It was a surprise that Annabelle managed to get it done.

"All right, I'll wait for your news. Call me if anything happens!"

"Okay!"

After a simple conversation, they ended the call.

When Annabelle wanted to put her phone back in her handbag, she accidentally dropped it to the

floorboard. As she bent over to take up her phone, Antonio Lu parked his car. He got down from the car

and went upstairs.

Annabelle sat back up and missed the sight of him walking up…

……

Nancy was tidying her stuffs in the apartment. Right after she was done and wanted to go out, the door

was opened.

Nancy was stunned. She looked at Antonio Lu and she hadn't expected him to hold the apartment

keys.

The moment Antonio Lu saw the luggage on the side, he frowned, "Where are you going?"

"I want to go back!" Nancy spoke directly. Her tone was completely different from the past. She just

wanted to get as far away from him as possible.

"Go back? Why?" As Antonio Lu asked that, he walked towards her. The moment he took the first step,

Nancy backed away, "Stay away from me!"

At that time, Antonio Lu noticed something was wrong, "Nancy, what's wrong?" He asked gently.

When Nancy saw his pretentious act, she felt disgusted.

"Antonio Lu, stop your acts! I have known everything about you!"

"Huh? What about me?" Antonio Lu asked.

"Your brother was arrested one year ago for drug abusing! So how can he embezzle the company

fund? How can he cause you the debt?" Nancy looked at him and asked.

The moment the man heard Nancy, his gentle expression tensed up. He continued to force a smile,

"Nancy, who told you that? That is a lie!"

"Stop pretending. You deceived women to get them to invest in your company. Antonio Lu, I really

didn't expect you to be a person like that!" Nancy fumed furiously.

At that moment, Antonio Lu's smile slowly subsided and his expression twisted to a menacing look, "It

seems that you had found out quite a lot!"

"So it is true!"

"You are right. So what if it is real? But the fact about my company being in trouble is true!"

"I do not wish to hear another word from you. Move away, I want to get out!" Nancy shouted and

wanted to walk outside.

Antonio Lu blocked in front of her and stopped her from going out, "Didn't you say that you will lend me

money for this crisis? Where is the money?"

The man still shamelessly asks for money!

"I will not give you a cent! I would rather throw it away than giving it to you!" Nancy screamed loudly.

The man had humiliated her in front of Annabelle and Alistair. How could she lend him any money?

However, Antonio Lu made a threatening expression, "If you don't give me the money, you wouldn't be

able to leave this place!"

"You…"

"Where is the money? Give me and I'll let you go!" After saying that, Antonio Lu dashed forward and

searched her body.

"What are you doing?! Let me go, Antonio Lu, stay away from me!"

"Where is the money? Give me the money! I need the money!!!"

"I don't have it! Even if I do, I will not be giving you a single cent!" Nancy screamed furiously. She

wanted to run away but Antonio Lu just wouldn't let her. He was determined to find the five million

cheque from her body!
