My Killing President

Chapter 721 Retaliation

The man seemed to be speaking the truth.

"Director Lee, you think Alistair Mu would do something like tax fraud?" Annabelle Xia looked at him

and asked coldly.

The moment director Lee heard that, his laughter stopped, "So you were lying?"

Now Annabelle Xia could confirm that he wasn't the one behind that.

Since the man had admitted tampering the raw materials, he didn't have a need to lie about the tax

fraud!

However… Annabelle Xia just couldn't shake off the feeling that both two cases were done by the same

person.

By the way, the man mentioned that someone was behind the first incident. When Annabelle Xia

recalled that, she sunk into a sudden realization.

"You just said you weren't the mastermind, who was it?!" Annabelle Xia asked.

Director Lee simply looked at her and giggled. His cloudy eyes were filled with mirth, "Are you sure you

want to know?"

"Am I not convincing enough?"

"Annabelle Xia, if I were to tell you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to accept the truth!"

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, if you were to find out, you will be too overwhelmed!"

Annabelle Xia was feeling a bad hunch already. Director Lee seemed to be messing with her but at the

same time, he seemed to be speaking the truth as well. Annabelle Xia didn't know if she should believe

him.

"Who was it?"

"Why should I tell you?" Director Lee asked back.

"Don't you always hate me and Alistair Mu? Didn't you say it will overwhelm me? Just say it then,

maybe you can give me a shock!"

She was right.

Although director Lee knew that Annabelle Xia was tricking him, what she said was also true.

"Okay, let me tell you. That person is… RALPHY XIA!!" Director Lee looked at Annabelle Xia and

enunciated. The man was just looking forward to see her reaction.

Right after he said that, Annabelle Xia frowned, "That is impossible!"

"HAHAHA! I knew you wouldn't believe it! But that is the truth!!!" Director Lee enunciated.

Annabelle Xia simply fell back to her chair and looked at him, "Director Lee, do you think you will be

able to sabotage our relationship by doing that?"

"If you don't believe, feel free to ask Alistair Mu. He is such a sharp-witted man, he would have known

by now!" Director Lee said that slyly.

Annabelle Xia's face turned pale. Would brother really do that?

No!

She refused to believe it!

But why, there was a silent sound from within that told her it was Ralphy Xia?

If that was the case, it made sense for Alistair Mu to take no action after Yun Rui got into trouble. Could

it really be...?

When Annabelle Xia's mind was jumbled up, director Lee scoffed and stood up to leave. The man

didn't even bother to tell her. Sometime after he left, Annabelle Xia came back to her senses.

She sat helplessly on the chair and she was lost.

All of a sudden, she had a fear. What if it was truly her brother? What should she do?

She contemplated for a long time but she had just got the same answer: she didn't know!

She didn't know what to do at all!

As she thought about that, she took out her phone and made a call to Ralphy Xia. She just couldn't

hold back anymore.

After ringing for a while, the call was answered.

"Hello…"

"Brother, it's me!" Annabelle Xia said.

"Annabelle? What's the matter?"

Annabelle Xia didn't know how she should say it. If it wasn't Ralphy Xia, then she would fall into director

Lee's trick. And their relationship might have a crack because of that. She wouldn't be able to face

Ralphy Xia after this.

However, if she didn't ask him… She just couldn't rest her heart!

"Annabelle? Did anything happen?" When Ralphy Xia didn't get any respond from Annabelle Xia, the

brother asked worriedly.

"Bro, do you know what happened to Yun Rui lately?" Annabelle Xia asked.

It was beyond Ralphy Xia's wildest imagination that Annabelle Xia would call him and ask that.

He reclined to his chair and tried to relax himself, "Yes, the news had been reporting it. Why are you

asking that?"

Should she just ask directly?

"I want to ask… What is your opinion on it?"

"My opinion? Why are you asking that all of the sudden?" Ralphy Xia asked back. The man had a

hunch that something was wrong, otherwise, Annabelle Xia wouldn't make that call.

"It's nothing, I simply want to ask for your opinion!"

"That isn't my company and I have no comment!"

Ralphy Xia's answer was too politically correct. Annabelle Xia just didn't know how to continue. She

held her phone and said, "Bro, I believe you will never do anything to hurt me!"

The moment she said that, Ralphy Xia was silent.

The brother held his phone and didn't know what to say.

After a long while, he said, "Of course, how can I hurt you!?" The man would never hurt Annabelle Xia.

And he just couldn't understand Annabelle Xia's question. That was because in his opinion, what he did

wasn't hurting Annabelle Xia but saving her!

In the end, Annabelle Xia simply hung up the call.

However, the tension in her mind wasn't the least bit relieved. It became even more entangled and

troubling.

It seemed that the thing she feared the most had happened…

……

That night, Alistair Mu came home around one o'clock in the midnight.

Previously, when nothing happened to Yun Rui, he would come home the latest by eleven o'clock. But

now…

When Annabelle Xia noticed the alcohol smell on him, she frowned.

"You're back!" Annabelle Xia said softly.

It was dark in the bedroom. Alistair Mu tilted his head and looked at her. The man was surprised that

she wasn't asleep yet!

"Yeah, why are you still awake?" He asked.

"I was waiting for you!" Annabelle Xia said gently.

Alistair Mu sat up but he didn't open the lights. The man simply looked at her in the dark, "Why?" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"How was the company?"

Alistair Mu simply smiled, "Everything is fine. I can handle that. You don't have to worry!"

How could she not worry?

If she hadn't gone to meet director Lee, maybe she could be comforted. But now, she didn't believe his

words anymore.

"Alistair, did anything happened? I wish to share your problems… You can tell me anything!" Annabelle

Xia looked at him and asked.

The woman didn't dare to ask him what director Lee said. Because she was fearful as well, afraid to

hear what she most dreaded.

Alistair Mu looked at Annabelle Xia. At that very moment, the man wanted to tell her. But as he looked

at her stomach… He decided to let go.

The man smiled and caressed Annabelle Xia's face, "Okay, don't be overthinking. Even if your husband

is getting bankrupt, I have enough to provide for you!"

"Alistair…"

"Annabelle!" At that time, Alistair Mu held her hand firmly, "Don't worry. I am fine. Let me go take a

shower…" As he said that, he got up and went to the bathroom.

Everything Annabelle Xia wanted to say was stuck in her throat. She just didn't know how to convey

her feelings.

"Alistair…" The moment he stood up, Annabelle Xia called out to him from behind, "If there is anything

you need to do, just go ahead! You don't have to worry about anyone else!"

Alistair Mu said nothing in return. But the man's movement paused a little. After that, he went to the

bathroom straight away.

When Annabelle Xia looked at his back, her heart sunken…

After Alistair Mu came out from the shower, Annabelle Xia was already lying in bed. Alistair Mu climbed

in as well and hugged her from behind…

Annabelle Xia didn't say anything but she moved a little. Probably that was because of the cold chill

from his body. The couple did not speak and maintained their silence. Only their soft breathings were

heard in the room. They seemed to be asleep but both of them were troubled by thoughts.

The night passed in a vexing silence...

The next day, when Annabelle Xia woke up, Alistair Mu was nowhere to be seen.

It had been a long while since she woke up to him lying beside her…

……

In the company.

Alistair Mu walked inside his office and Jack followed closely behind.

Alistair Mu took up a deck of documents from his table and said, "Send these over to Ralphy Xia!"

Jack knew that Alistair Mu finally decided to retaliate!

The man admired whenever his president does that.

Jack nodded seriously, "Roger that!"

And he turned around to leave.

Alistair Mu stood in front of the French window and looked outside. The legendary man seemed to

have picked himself up. His eyes were gleaming in confidence and self-assurance.

Ralphy Xia, if you want a fight, I shall give you war!

Heed my warning, you wouldn't be able to handle my wrath!!

The Xia group.

When Ralphy Xia received the documents from Alistair Mu, his face was grim.

The man gripped his fist tightly!

ALISTAIR MU!!!

One hour later, there was a scandal about the Xia Group.

The Xia Group had been profiteering scandalously. They had been operating a charitable foundation

but it turned out to be fraudulent.

There were all kinds of conflict and negligence in the company, even escaping tax and unlawful

conducts! All of a sudden, they have all kinds of unfavourable news.

Once the news was released, it gave A city a shock.

At that time, Alistair Mu looked at his phone and scoffed, "The so-called evidence you submitted for my

tax fraud was outdated. Ralphy Xia, if you want to play dirty, please use that tiny brain of yours more!"

Ralphy Xia threw his phone and smashed his computer. His office was a mess.

The man hadn't expected Alistair Mu to do that!

At that moment, the assistant came inside with a horrified expression, "President Xia, someone was

diluting our shares and I noticed another party was slowly collecting them!"

"What?!"

Ralphy Xia's expression turned even grimmer.

"Hurry and close the market! No matter what, do not let them acquire anymore of our shares!" Ralphy

Xia roared.

"But, it is impossible to close it now…"

"Do everything you can to stop them!!!" Ralphy Xia seemed to have lost control already.

When the assistant saw how wrathful he was, he didn't dare to utter another word. He simply nodded

and hurried out his office…

Ralphy Xia stood inside the office and breathed heavily. The man's face was just twisting in anger.

He knew that Alistair Mu was taking this chance to acquire the Xia Group. The man was secretly

buying off their shares!

As he thought about that, he was just filled with frustration.

As he glanced over at the documents on the table, it was all the internal problems of the company that

troubled him for a long time. He didn't know Alistair Mu knew everything all along!

Now Ralphy Xia just suffered a merciless blow.
