My Killing President

Chapter 724 Truth

"Annabelle, I know your brother was at fault. But he is my son, your brother! He had loved you since

you are a little girl. Annabelle, can you please save him…" Waynie Xu looked at Annabelle Xia and

begged.

Annabelle Xia had a pained expression and didn't know what to do.

If she were to interfere, it would definitely harm the relationship between her and Alistair Mu. The man

didn't even go home and it was obvious that he didn't want her to get involved. But if she didn't

interfere…

When Waynie Xu saw Annabelle Xia hesitating, she got down the bed hurriedly and knelt on the floor,

"Annabelle, mum begs you. Please save Ralphy!"

"Mum!! Don't do this!" Annabelle Xia hurriedly knelt down as well, wanted to help her mother up.

"NO! If you don't promise me, I will not get back up! I only have one son, I cannot lose him!"

"Mum…"

"Annabelle, I beg you… If you talk to Alistair Mu, he will definitely listen to you. He loves you so much

and he will definitely let Ralphy go!"

"Mum, get up first!" Waynie Xu wanted to pull Waynie Xu up but the mother was refusing stubbornly.

"No, Annabelle! I beg you, save your brother…"

"Mum, it's not that I don't want to help…" Annabelle Xia didn't know what to say.

"Annabelle, I am begging you. Just save your brother… Please… For the sake of repaying our family

that we bring you up and did so much for you, even when you are not one of us!! Just save my son! I

beg you…" Waynie Xu looked at Annabelle Xia and wailed in agony.

But after Annabelle Xia heard that, she was stupefied.

She looked at the mother like a stranger.

However, Waynie Xu continued to beg her, "Annabelle, I beg you. Are you really so heartless to leave

Ralphy to rot in jail?!"

Annabelle Xia simply heard a ringing in her head and everything her mother said afterward was

blurred.

She thought that after such a long time, she was one of the family despite the blood ties. She hadn't

expected Waynie Xu to say something like that…

At that moment, Annabelle Xia was just broken hearted.

So after all, she was just an outsider in this family…

No matter what she did, she was just an adopted child.

Although she remembered Waynie Xu's love and care, after what the mother said now, she just didn't

know how to react…

When she was lost, Teneria Xia came upstairs. Right after he came to the doorstep, he saw Waynie Xu

kneeling on the floor.

The man was shocked. But when he saw Annabelle Xia stood frozen, the father caught on what

happened. He hurried over and pulled Waynie Xu up, "What are you doing?!"

"Annabelle, mum begs you… I beg you…" Waynie Xu continued to beg her desperately. Because of

what happened to Ralphy Xia, the mother had lost all her composure and grace. She was in despair.

Annabelle Xia froze and her eyes welled up in tears. As she saw Teneria Xia pulled the mother up, she

hurriedly went over and helped.

"Dad, please take care of mum. About brother… I will try to think of something…" After saying that, she

looked at them both and went away.

When Teneria Xia looked at her back, he just couldn't describe his feeling.

All of his words were stuck in his throat. There was just nothing he could say…

When he heard Annabelle Xia's footsteps leaving into the distance, he came back to his senses. He

looked at the woman in his arms and said helplessly, "Come, go rest a little…"

……

After leaving the Xia house, Annabelle Xia sat in the car and she was just lost. It was night already and

the streetlights were lit up.

The street was bustling with people but it wasn't as busy as the day.

"Stop the car." Annabelle Xia said suddenly.

The driver turned his head back towards Annabelle Xia. The woman simply said emotionlessly, "I wish

to take a stroll. You may go back first!"

"But…" The driver was placed in a tight spot. The grandmother had given strict instruction that he must

see to her safety and follow her every orders.

Annabelle Xia simply showed the man a restful smiled, "I'm fine. I just want to take a stroll and find

something to eat. I will just give you a call to pick me up later!"

The driver nodded and Annabelle Xia got down the car. After that, he said, "I will wait for you here!"

"There is no need. A friend of mine is coming and it will take some time. I will call you later!"

"Okay!"

As she closed the car door, the driver drove away.

Annabelle Xia stood by the roadside all alone.

By spending some time walking alone, she would be able to clear her mind and she felt a burden off

her shoulders.

The woman walked by the roadside slowly and she was lost in thought. There were all kinds of thinking

that flashed in her mind. However, in the end it was Alistair Mu that mattered the most.

Whenever she thought of him, she would feel heavy hearted and pain.

She knew Alistair Mu was troubled and the man wouldn't want to burden her.

But after she found out that Ralphy Xia was the mastermind behind all the malicious attack towards

Alistair Mu, she just knew that Alistair Mu had known about it long ago. The man hadn't take any

action's all because of her.

Now that the man avoided her because he wanted to make things easier for her. That she didn't need

to get involved…

She sighed helplessly.

At that time, Annabelle Xia's gaze was fixed at one shop.

It had an interesting and country-like furnishing. The place looked cozy and it was selling some sort of

desserts and drinks. There weren't many customers inside and Annabelle Xia went inside because she

simply felt like it.

"Miss, may I take your order?" A sweet looking shopkeeper smiled at Annabelle Xia and asked.

At that time, Annabelle Xia looked at the best seller in the poster and replied, "Give me one of that!"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Okay, do you need anything else?"

Annabelle Xia shook her head.

"Okay, please wait a while!"

After Annabelle Xia paid, she walked to a seat by the window and got herself seated.

Five minutes later, a waiter come with what she ordered.

"Miss, please enjoy!"

Annabelle Xia nodded with a smile.

"Miss, we have a wishing wall here. Whoever made their wishes and stick it on our wishing wall, will

have their wishes come true! Do you want to give it a try?" The waiters said with a sweet smile. After

that, she pointed at the wall by the side. It was some kind of a blackboard of our school times. And

there were all sorts of colorful stickers on it, pink, blue, green… It was a pretty sight.

If Annabelle Xia were to hear that earlier, she might do that it was meant for the pure and innocent…

kids.

But the waitress continued, "Every wish signifies a hope. Even if it didn't come true, it would leave a

beautiful trail in your life!"

Annabelle Xia nodded agreeably.

The waitress smiled and passed her a pen and a piece of pink note.

Annabelle Xia took it over and hesitated what to write.

The assistant spoke again, "You can just write about anything. We will stick it there and you will be able

to find it the next time you come over!"

Annabelle Xia smiled and wrote a line:

Despite fear and uncertainty, we could stay together loyally and lovingly forever.

What Annabelle Xia wrote came from the great novelist Mikhailia Bulgakov.

Although her situation was different from the book, Annabelle Xia felt that it best described her feelings.

Her feelings towards Alistair Mu…

After writing that, Annabelle Xia looked at the piece of paper and smiled.

"You need to write your own name and stick it up yourself, and your dream will come true!" The

waitress smiled at her.

In the end, Annabelle Xia wrote her name on the bottom right and walked over. The woman simply

chose a random spot and stuck her note.

The waitress watched her from behind and smiled sweetly, "Your dream will definitely come true!"

Annabelle Xia smiled. She browsed through the notes and there was one that wrote:

I hope we can stay together forever…

The woman's lips curled up in gentleness.

This piece of small board carried countless dreams.

But, how many of them could have their dreams come true…?

In the end, she went back to her seat and took a sip of her drink. Shortly after, Annabelle Xia left the

place.

The sky turned dark already.

It was a starry night and that meant the next day would be a cloudless, sunny day.

But she didn't know what to expect in her following day…

The woman walked slowly by the roadside and she didn't call the driver to pick her up.

At that time, a car drove in from the distance and it parked right beside Annabelle Xia.

With Annabelle Xia saw who came down the car, she was stunned.

"Coby?"

Coby was her bodyguard in the past. Annabelle Xia didn't dislike this quiet man and she had a strong

impression towards him. The woman could always feel great sense of security with him by the side.

"Miss Xia!" Coby looked at Annabelle Xia and greeted her.

"What are you doing here?" Annabelle Xia asked.

Coby was stunned and he answered, "I happened to drive by!"

Annabelle Xia nodded and continued, "I haven't been seeing you for quite some time already!"

Coby did not explain and he simply looked back at her, "Are you… Alone?"

Annabelle Xia nodded.

"Let me send you back!"

"There's no need…"

"It's okay, we are in the same direction!"

Same direction?

Before Annabelle Xia could say anything else, Coby opened the car door for her.

Annabelle Xia got in the car under his invitation.

As they were driving, Annabelle Xia asked, "Are you still working in Yun Rui?"

"I don't work for Yun Rui!"

"You don't? But I thought you were the company's bodyguard?"

Coby understood her doubt and he explained, "President Mu hired me personally!"

"Oh, so that was it…" Annabelle Xia simply nodded and didn't think much.

The man continued to drive.

When Coby saw that Annabelle Xia wasn't speaking and she looked outside the window

absentmindedly, the man opened his mouth. However, he simply moved his lips but he didn't say

anything.

At that time, Annabelle Xia happened to turn her head back and Coby averted his face back right away.

The man even blushed.

It was awkward.

Annabelle Xia looked at him and smiled, "Were you trying to say something?"

Coby shook his head, "No!"

But Annabelle Xia could obviously tell that the man wanted to say something.

"You can just speak your mind directly. I am not Alistair Mu, you don't have to act cool in front of me!"

Coby's face twitched a little…

After contemplating for a while, he asked, "Are you… upset?"

Annabelle Xia was surprised that the man could tell so easily.

She asked back, "Was it so obvious?"

Coby nodded honestly. Because if she wasn't unhappy, she would always have a faint smile on her

face. But now, she simply carried an air of melancholy.

Annabelle Xia smiled bitterly, "It's nothing actually. I simply think that there are so many variables in this

world that could influence a person…" Annabelle Xia said that. But it was unknown whether she meant

that for Coby or herself.

Coby couldn't find a word of comfort. After a long while, he muttered, "It will come to a past eventually!"

He was right. Everything will come to a past.

Annabelle Xia believed there are nothing the track of time couldn't settle.

"Thank you for comforting me!" Annabelle Xia said smilingly.

Coby said no more and focused back to the road…

In the Mu House.

The grandmother was just anxious already when she couldn't get through Annabelle Xia's phone. The

driver simply came back without Annabelle Xia and the grandmother almost skinned him alive.

The innocent driver was reprimanded fiercely.

As the car parked at the door, Annabelle Xia looked at Coby and said, "Thank you very much!"

Coby didn't say anything and drove away.

Annabelle Xia was used to his cool temperament. She didn't think that he was rude but amusing.

After seeing the car disappeared into the distance, she walked inside as well.

When the grandmother heard the noise, she hurried out. When she saw that Annabelle Xia was

completely fine, she rested her heart, "Annabelle, you finally come home! This old woman almost have

a heart attack!"

When Annabelle Xia saw their expression and the fearful look on the driver, she knew that she had

made them worry.

"Grandma, sorry about that. I wanted to eat something all of a sudden and I came home late!"

Annabelle Xia said apologetically. When she saw the driver bowing his head low and making a regretful

expression, she felt guilty.

"Even if you wanted to come home late, you must make sure to call me. I almost got out to look for

you!" The grandmother said.

"Okay, I give you my words. This will never happen again!" Annabelle Xia said smilingly.

After the grandmother gave her an ‘earful', she let her go…

After Coby drove for some time, he took up his phone and made a call.

"I have already sent Miss Xia home!" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

After the man heard the report, he looked at the location pin on his watch and he rested his heart. He

acknowledged the bodyguard's report and ended the call.

Coby wanted to tell him what Annabelle Xia said. But before he could say anything, the phone ended

and he simply let it go.

In the office.

Alistair Mu sat on his chair and looked at the picture on his table.

Even as the moonlight shone in his room, the man remained unmoved.

He only dared to go home after Annabelle Xia falls asleep…

Annabelle, do you blame me?

With what happened to the Xia Group, if any competent company was willing to step forward and lend

a helping hand, it wouldn't go down.

However, not a single person was willing.

Even Sky An simply watched from the side and refused to help.

The father simply felt fortunate that Renee An had divorced Ralphy Xia. Otherwise, the daughter would

just suffer with him.

If it was for Teneria Xia and Waynie Xu, Sky An would be more than willing to help. However, Ralphy

Xia…

That man had hurt Renee so much that she left the family and went to a country so far away. He just

couldn't bring himself to help someone that hurt his daughter.

Both Renee An and Claudia Yun were aware and they simply looked away.

Teneria Xia had made personal calls several times but they rejected him.

And now, everyone was simply watching from the side and none of them were willing to offer help.

After what happened to Ralphy Xia, the Xia Group was in a complete mess.

Since their president was still in custody, the company was sinking in the crisis.

Teneria Xia needed to pull strings for his son and at the same time, he needed to handle the crisis in

Xia Group.

The man had retired from the management for too many years and now he was just powerless to do

much.

One day.

Kaleb Hua was watching the news. After a long while, the man's chiseled face looked a little sickish,

but his striking aura remained.

The man was aware of what happened lately.

He hadn't thought things would end up like that.

But he knew that if Ralphy Xia were to fight with Alistair Mu, Annabelle Xia would be placed in a tough

position…

The man could care less about the two young men but he was worried about Annabelle Xia.

"How was it now?"

"Ralphy Xia is still being held custody and Teneria Xia is trying everything he could to borrow money!"

Hua reported honestly.

Kaleb Hua was in silent ponder.

At that time, Hua fumed in frustration, "Don't they ever think that who was hurting the most when they

do that!?"

When Kaleb Hua heard Hua's outburst, he said, "Transfer 10 million to the Xia Group!"

When Hua heard that, he was shocked, "Brother Kaleb!"

"Do as I say!"

"But I don't think they will appreciate!"

"Do you think I am doing that for the appreciation?" It was all for the sake of Annabelle Xia.

"But…"

"Just do it!" Hua wanted to convince Kaleb Hua. After all, Annabelle Xia wasn't aware of what he did.

Was that really worth it?

But the man knew that Kaleb Hua was a stubborn man. He knew nothing he says can change the

man's mind. In the end, he nodded and went out to carry out his orders.
