Chapter 743 Revenge
Chapter 743 Revenge
When director Lee saw the frightful gaze from Annabelle Xia, he grinned threateningly, "Why? Are you
surprised to see me?"
"I am no longer surprised with anything you do!" Annabelle Xia tried to reply calmly. After what
happened in Yun Rui one year ago, she understood what director Lee was capable of.
Although Ralphy Xia was the person behind everything…
Director Lee's face was twisted in malice, "I have been waiting for this chance for one year! Annabelle
Xia, the reason I ended up like this today is because of you and Alistair Mu. But rest assured… I am a
merciful man. And I will kindly let the two of you die together!" Director Lee said with a distorted smile.
As Annabelle Xia looked at director Lee, she noticed that the man had already lost his mind. The
woman was thinking hard for every possible means of escape!
As she looked around, all of a sudden she felt helpless. This time round, she just couldn't see any hope
for escape and it was completely different from what she had ever experienced…
Director Lee's hatred towards them was unresolvable. The man was dead set to take their lives!
At that moment, the only thing Annabelle Xia was worried about was Alistair Mu's safety. And she just
hoped that Alistair Mu wouldn't come.
Because the woman felt that director Lee had been scheming for this meticulously. It was just
impossible for them to leave safely.
The woman was overcome with terror and anguish.
"Director Lee, what happened to you isn't because of us. It is the consequence of your very own
actions!" Annabelle Xia looked at him and said. Since he was already on the verge of madness, she
might as well provoke him. And hopefully the man would ruin his own plan and ‘settle' everything
before Alistair Mu comes.
Right after Annabelle Xia said that, director Lee's eyes turned colder, "What did you say?"
"Isn't that the case? You have always been blaming me and Alistair Mu. Why didn't you blame your
own greed? If you hadn't tried to steal the position in Yun Rui, why would anything happen to you at
all?" Annabelle Xia shouted at him.
"Shut up! What do you know!? I have sacrificed so much for Yun Rui and the two of you simply kick me
out from the company. What do you think I am?!" Director Lee roared. The man didn't feel a single
ounce of self-blame and he felt that all of his actions were justified.
"Everything I did to Yun Rui was a righteous judgment to you and Alistair Mu!!" Director Lee continued
to scream in hysteria.
"Really? Was that what you have been thinking all along? Why not you think of it this way, if you had
stayed in your position as a shareholder obediently, you would be receiving your dividend now. You
don't even need to lift a finger! It was your greed that caused you everything. You deserve every bit of
the punishment right now. You know what? You are just a sore loser to blame everything on me and
Alistair Mu!" Annabelle Xia enunciated. Every word of hers was sharp like a piercing knife. The man
was humiliated.
"Shut up!" Director Lee erupted and he dashed over and gave Annabelle Xia a heavy slap, "If you
speak another word, I will kill you right now!"
"Go ahead, director Lee! Surely you must know that Yun Rui had been doing great for the past two
years. Those shareholders are just earning a much greater income than the time when you were in!"
Director Lee was aware of what happened in Yun Rui. And that made the man regretful and hateful.
"You!!!"
Director Lee was just feeling the impulse to kill Annabelle Xia. The woman was just infuriating and he
couldn't take it anymore!
"You want to die so much? Okay, I have no problem with that!" As he said that, he looked at a crowbar
on the floor. The man took it up with a sinister smile and approached Annabelle Xia slowly.
The moment he raised the crowbar, they heard a loud screech of car tyre.
The crowbar stopped in mid air. Just a few seconds and Annabelle Xia would be severely harmed.
Annabelle Xia shut her eyes and she was ready for the blow. However, the bludgeoning did not fall on
her but the loud screech made her heart tightened. The woman was even more fearful and worried
now.
Director looked at Annabelle Xia and said, "Are you trying to hasten your death? Take it easy, let's let
Alistair Mu watch how you die!" Director Lee said with a depraved expression.
Annabelle Xia's eyebrows furrowed deeply. Director Lee had completely lost it!
Annabelle Xia knew he was crazy and she couldn't describe his insanity anymore.
She was terrorized to imagine when Alistair Mu saw her… The man wouldn't be able to accept it!
She shook her head, "Director Lee, I know you don't dare! You don't have the guts to kill me! You are
only all talk and when it comes to the real thing, you wouldn't be able to do it!" Annabelle Xia said
scornfully.
When she heard the footsteps, she knew that it was Alistair Mu.
The woman couldn't help but recalled what Alistair Mu once told her. If you truly love a person, you
wouldn't need to look and you could tell from the sound of his footsteps and breathing…
Previously, Annabelle Xia thought that Alistair Mu was just teasing her. But at that very moment, she
could completely identify with what he said!
"Alistair Mu, don't come in! No!! He has no plans to let me go, even if you come in, he wouldn't let me
go!" Annabelle Xia screamed towards the door.
*SLAP!!*
Director Lee gave Annabelle Xia and another heavy slap, "Shut the hell up! Don't worry, he will
definitely come in!"
The man had heard about Alistair Mu's dogged stubbornness towards the woman for the past year!
And he had no doubt.
Annabelle Xia's lips were bleeding. She looked at director Lee and squinted her eyes.
As soon as Alistair Mu heard the sound from inside, he rushed in immediately.
The moment he got inside the building, he saw Annabelle Xia cuffed on a pole and three men standing
beside her. Two of them were wearing the janitor's uniform with a mask. And the last one… was
director Lee!
Alistair Mu examined the situation carefully. When he saw the blood on Annabelle Xia's lips, his gaze
sharpened.
"Alistair, run away!!" Annabelle Xia screamed.
"You are here, where should I go?"
"Listen to me, go right now!" Annabelle Xia yelled in anguish.
"I will only go together with you!"
Annabelle Xia didn't know what else to say. She looked at him anxiously and powerlessly…
"So it was you, director Lee!" Alistair Mu stared at him and gnashed his teeth.
Director Lee looked back at Alistair Mu and smirked, "President Mu, long time no see!"
"I have brought you the money. Release her now!" After saying that, Alistair Mu threw the bag of money
towards the men.
Director Lee was completely unbothered and he sneered at him, "I've always heard how fervent you
were to Annabelle Xia. Today I finally witness it!"
"Cut your bullshit and release her!" Alistair Mu said sternly.
Director Lee broke into a laughter suddenly, "Alistair Mu, I'm afraid you still haven't make clear of the
situation you are in!"
"What do you mean?" Alistair Mu frowned and stared at him.
"You want to save her? No problem, kneel down now!" Director Lee said.
When Alistair Mu heard that, he paused a little, "What did you say?"
"Didn't you hear me? Kneel!" Director Lee gritted his teeth.
"No!!" Annabelle Xia screamed, "Alistair, don't listen to him. He is a maniac. It doesn't matter what you
do, he will never let me go!" Annabelle Xia yelled loudly.
Alistair Mu looked at her in agony. How he hoped that he could be able to suffer her pain…
At that time, director Lee signaled one of the men and he nodded and walked towards Annabelle Xia.
"Feel free to do as you like. But you better be prepared to see Annabelle Xia suffers in front of you!
Let's see how much she can take!"
"You!!"
Director Lee said no more and simply grinned and looked at the man. He nodded and struck Annabelle
Xia with a crowbar right away.
"AAHH!!!"
Annabelle Xia had no time to react and she let out a cry. The woman bent over in pain.
"STOP!!" Alistair Mu roared and there were green veins popping on his forehead. The moment he saw
the crowbar striking her, he felt as if his heart was being ripped apart.
When director Lee saw the agony in Alistair Mu's face, he scoffed, "Have you changed your mind? Or
should I continue?"
"YOU DARE!?" Alistair Mu gripped his fist tightly and his face twisted in a murdering wrath.
"Alistair Mu, stop challenging me. I will really beat her to death!" Director Lee said.
Alistair Mu's eyes were bulging and blood filled. His arms are shaking and veins protruding. He was
exuding an overwhelming murdering intent.
"I… I'm fine!" Annabelle Xia tried her best to hold back the pain and shook her head towards Alistair
Mu, "Don't listen to him!"
Alistair Mu had no choice but to give in for Annabelle Xia. He relaxed his clenching fist slowly.
The man looked at director Lee and knelt down sedately.
"No…" Annabelle Xia let out a cry. The moment she saw him kneeling down, her tears broke out.
The moment Annabelle Xia saw his knees touching the ground, the pain she felt in her heart far
exceeded her physical pain. It was so overwhelming that she just couldn't describe it. It was as if her
mind went numb and she couldn't hear anything at all.
The woman simply looked at her lover and shook her head in desolation, "No…"
When director Lee saw Alistair Mu kneeling down, he laughed heartily, "Alistair Mu, serves you right!
Aren't you always smug and conceited? HAhahahaha…" Director Lee laughed hysterically.
"Alistair Mu!!! I've been waiting for this day!" Director Lee charged forward and kicked Alistair Mu. The
man fell back but he didn't fight back. It wasn't because he was unable but he couldn't do anything
because of Annabelle Xia…
"Stop!! STOP IT!!!" Annabelle Xia cried out in tears when she saw director Lee beating Alistair Mu.
"Alistair Mu, fight back! Don't do that, fight back if you are a man!" Annabelle Xia screamed and wailed.
But no matter how much she struggled, she was unable to break free from the cuff. Her wrists were
sliced by the cuffs as she moved so violently and her hands were bloodied.
She was willing to suffer the beatings for Alistair Mu, and it ripped her heart seeing Alistair Mu getting
thrashed. The man was ever so proud, yet he needed to suffer this because of her. She was just
broken hearted.
Alistair Mu clenched his teeth and took in all of director Lee's anger. The man completely ignored
Annabelle Xia and he had one hope: as long as Annabelle Xia can be safe…
Annabelle Xia was somewhat composed a moment ago. But now she was slowly losing her rationality
and she screamed over and over again, until her voice was all hoarse…
When director Lee saw their woe and affliction, he was just thrilled. He had been waiting for that for so
long!!
Alistair Mu had humiliated him completely. As director Lee saw him acting all meek, he had a great
sense of satisfaction.
However, the man had no plan to let them go.
He threw a dagger in front of Alistair Mu and said, "As long as you are willing to stab yourself, I will
release Annabelle Xia!" Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
When Annabelle Xia heard that, her pupils widened and her knees turned weak. She looked at Alistair
Mu and shook her head powerlessly, "Please, please don't do it…"
Alistair Mu knew that director Lee would not let them off easily. But he hadn't expected him to make
such a demand.
But it was fine.
As long as he wouldn't hurt Annabelle Xia, it doesn't matter what kind of act he demanded…
"Will you honor your words?"
Director Lee sneered, "I normally don't. But this time, I will!"
Alistair Mu glared at him like a fierce beast, "Okay, you said it! If you dare to go back on your words, I
will make sure to take your life!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely release her!" Director Lee said with a wide grin.
It didn't matter if he was telling the truth or not. Alistair Mu had no choice but to believe him.
He picked up the dagger and stared at it.
Annabelle Xia continued to shake her head, "Alistair Mu, don't… Please don't… If you do that, I will
hate you! Think of Shi Guang! Do it for our son… He is crazy already, he will never let me go. Do you
want Shi Guang to lose the both of us!?" Annabelle Xia screamed loudly. She tried everything she
could to put sense in Alistair Mu, hoping that he wouldn't listen to director Lee.
However, Alistair Mu simply raised his head and smiled helplessly, "Had I known this would happen, I
wouldn't have brought the two of you back home…"
"No…" Annabelle Xia cried into tears as she looked him in the eye and shook her head.
Alistair Mu tightened his grip and looked back at Annabelle Xia, "If there is a next life, I will definitely
find you again and love you…" After saying that, he swung the dagger to hurt himself.
"NOOO!!!!!!" Annabelle Xia bawled unrestrainedly.
She watched as the dagger pierced her lover's chest. That very moment, the woman lost it.
Outside.
Ralphy Xia sneaked in quietly. When he heard the scream inside, he could pretty much gauged what
happened. However, he didn't know how many people was inside and he didn't dare to make any
uncalculated move. The man simply peeked from outside.
When the two men watched as Alistair Mu stabbed himself, they were frightened.
"Hey, you are going too far!! If you were to die, things would get complicated!"
"What are you guys worrying about? Even if he dies, it is a suicide and that has nothing to do with the
two of you!" Director Lee roared back.
The two men were nervous and he looked at each other, "We have done everything you asked us to
do. Now you should do the rest!" After saying that, the man rushed over and picked up the bag of cash
and started taking their shares.
