My Killing President
Chapter 698 Trouble

When the news about Xia Xing going back to work was made known, the design department was elated.

Now they would have their greatest back up!

Now that Annabelle was working in their department, if anything were to happen, president Mu wouldn't be too harsh on them. Therefore, the colleagues arranged a small welcome party.

Covi was the happiest of them all. She could finally have her friend back and not just bother herself with the gossipers and materialistic friends.

Early in the morning, Annabelle and Alistair went to the company after finishing breakfast.

Now they didn't need to avoid showing up in public together because they had officially married. And Annabelle was the official Mrs. Mu, the female boss of Yun Rui!

"You seem to be in good mood to be in the company!" Alistair said.

Annabelle smiled, "That's of course! Haven't you heard it, a woman that depends on man will only lose her self-worth. A self-dependent woman is most charming!" After saying that, she gave Alistair a proud look.

Alistair looked at her and smiled, "Darling, don't forget that your net worth is amongst the top in A city. How can you lose your worth?" The woman had a substantial amount of shares of two huge companies. Her net worth was already in the billions. When Annabelle heard that, she chuckled, "Those aren't what I worked for and let's just leave it for now!"

As Alistair looked at her, he smiled and drove with one hand while holding Annabelle's hand with another. The man had a contended smile.

As they reached the company, the couple went down together. When they got into the design department, Alistair said, "Let me accompany you there!"

"There is no need. Your meeting is starting soon. I can just go over myself. It's not like it's my first day here!"

Alistair nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll come visit you after the meeting!"

Annabelle nodded and Alistair kissed her forehead. At that time, the lift door opened and she walked inside.

Annabelle went straight to the design department.

Right after she walked inside, she saw that all of the workers were gathering together.

She felt a comfortable familiarity. The moment Annabelle walked through the door, she heard a loud *pop*. It was the party proper.

"Congratulations to our female boss' victorious return!!!" The colleagues in the design department cheered.

Annabelle jumped in fright and she laughed at them, "What victorious return? I wasn't going to war!"

"It is considered one when you are 'battling' our boss!"

Annabelle laughed, "Thank you everyone!"

She walked inside and sat on her own seat, putting her handbag beside her computer.

"You are back, now we don't have to worry about president Mu being too harsh on the design department!" One of her male colleague cheered.

"How can you say that!? Even if that is the truth, you should keep it low!" And the female colleagues dragged him to one side.

When Annabelle looked at the lively group, she smiled.

"I hope I won't to be dragging your progress!"

"Of course not! We know what you are capable of!" At that time, Covi said.

Annabelle simply smiled and nodded.

After chatting for some time, the colleagues went back to work. Covi looked at her and said, "Your stomach will be bulging soon, why are you coming back to work so suddenly?" "Because I miss you too much and I want to spend time with you!" Annabelle said naughtily.

"Cut your crap!" Covi laughed, "All right, let's work first and talk later!"

Annabelle nodded and Covi went back to work.

As Annabelle sat in her own seat, she felt that time had passed so fast. She had joined Yun Rui for a short few months and she changed from being an innocent girl to a mother! She looked around and the only thing that hadn't changed was her passion in work.

Working could distract her from those troubling thoughts. That was also one of Annabelle's objectives to go back to work.

When she thought about that, she looked at the documents in front of her and started to catch up with the progress.

At that time, she noticed that her chair was changed. It was different from the rest of the others and it was comfortable and soft. She looked around and everyone else was working. She didn't need to think much and she knew that it was Alistair's special arrangements. As she thought about that, she felt warm in her heart.

Alistair was having a meeting upstairs. After he was done, it was almost twelve o'clock in the noon already. After he tidied his documents, he got out from his office and went to the design department.

"President Mu!" "President Mu!"

The moment Alistair appeared in the design department, all of the workers greeted him. They knew that ever since Annabelle took a leave, the man had never come to their department. Now that he came, the workers knew that they needed to suffer the public display of affection.

"How do you feel? Are you tired?" Alistair looked at Annabelle and asked.

Annabelle shook her head, "I am completely fine!"

Her eyes were gleaming in gentleness.

"President Mu, you are so happy, shouldn't you treat us for lunch!" At that time, some of the workers joked with Alistair.

Alistair wrapped an arm of Annabelle and looked at the crowd, "What do you guys want to eat?"

The moment he said that, the workers' eyes lit up.

"That depends on president Mu's sincerity!"

Alistair chuckled, "If that's the case, I'll treat the lunch today. All of you can go to the restaurant and buy just anything, I'll pay!" "President Mu, are you for real?"

"Did I have never lie to you guys?"

"President Mu, you have made a wise decision. I'll go make my orders first!"

"Me too, me too..."

"Let's go together!"

The few female colleagues cheered and went out together.

At that time, Covi walked over and chuckled, "It seems like president Mu will need to burn a hole in his pocket today!"

Annabelle laughed as well, "That's president Mu's tactic to win their heart-" Yun Rui's canteen was pretty high standard. Since the man said that, they could expect some surprises over that!

Alistair smiled confidently, "If I can't even take care of my workers' lunch, that simply mean my company is just substandard!"

Annabelle gave him an eye roll for his conceit. She looked at Covi and said, "Let's go and grab lunch!"

Covi laughed heartily. She glanced at Alistair and went away with Annabelle.

Alistair watched them from the back. The man smiled and followed after them.

As expected!

The lunch that day was sumptuous and plentiful!

There were all kinds of vegetable and meat dishes and they all looked expensively delicious.

Alistair would rarely eat in the canteen. But the man had been frequenting the place after knowing Annabelle.

As soon as he showed up, even the chief chef came out from the kitchen. He looked at Alistair respectfully and asked, "President Mu, may I know what do you want to eat?"

Alistair sat with a domineering posture yet he wasn't arrogant, "There is no need. I'll just eat the same as them!"

"Okay, I'll serve your food right away!"

Alistair nodded and the chef hurried back into the kitchen.

As the two women sat across Alistair saw what happened, Covi and Annabelle broke into a laughter, "It is truly humbling for president Mu to eat with us here!"

"Glad that you know!" Alistair gave them an eye roll.

At that time, the workers in the canteen looked at Alistair and said, "President Mu, thank you for the lunch!"

"Thank you president Mu!"

"Thank you president Mu!"

The canteen was in a lively and cheery atmosphere.

Alistair didn't say anything and simply looked at Annabelle and Covi. The two women said nothing and dived in to their food.

Time passed slowly under such a cheery atmosphere...

When Renee An woke up, she felt a piercing gastric pain.

The woman had been drinking too much last night with an empty stomach. She didn't even remove her make-up and went to sleep right away. Now she was suffering the bad hangover.

The woman went into the bathroom and took a quick rinse. However, her gastric was just getting worse.

After cleaning up, she went downstairs.

Waynie was downstairs when Renee An came down. The moment the mother saw her, she asked, "Renee, you're up!"

When Renee An looked at Waynie, her expression changed. She didn't know how to face the mother.

She hated Ralphy and Annabelle, but as for Waynie...

Renee An didn't know what to do. But at that very moment, she couldn't put up a friendly smile.

"Auntie Li, do you have stomach medicine? I have gastric!" Renee An called out.

As Waynie stood there, she was stunned. Normally Renee An would always greet her sweetly, calling her mum. Even if she didn't do that, she would show her a polite smile. But now Renee An was simply ignoring her on purpose. "Renee, are you having a gastric? Should I go do a checkup with you in the hospital?" Waynie hurried over to care for her. But After Renee An got downstairs, she walked away and simply continued to ignore her.

Waynie stood on the same spot and couldn't describe her feeling.

Auntie Li found gastric medicine and got it to Renee An with a glass of water. Renee An took it.

Waynie hesitated for a while and walked towards her, "Auntie Li, please prepare breakfast for Renee!"

"Okay!" The housekeeper answered and went to the kitchen.

Renee An sat there in the living room while Waynie sat next to her, "Renee, have you been drinking too much yesterday?"

When Renee An heard that, she turned her head towards her but showed no emotion nor said anything.

When Waynie saw that she was unwilling to speak, the mother continued to ask, "Renee, are you trouble? Did you quarrel with Ralphy?"

Renee An continued to keep her silence. However, her reaction was just showing a silent acquiescence.

"Renee, although I didn't know why the two of you were quarrelling, I want to tell you that every married couple will quarrel. But please don't hurt each other's feeling because of that!"

"Feeling?" Renee An looked at her in deride. That word was simply a stinging irony.

"What do you mean by feeling? There was nothing but pretense between me and him!" Renee An said.

When Waynie heard that, she was stunned. She looked at Renee An and didn't know how to comfort her, "Renee, what happened?"

"Why? Isn't that true?" Renee An looked at her and asked back. Waynie was just troubled by her enmity.

"Renee, I don't know what you are talking about!"

Renee An sneered, "When Ralphy married me, the Xia Group was having some financial difficulty. After marrying me, the company could have An Group's investment. Wasn't that the purpose?" Waynie was completely stunned. Although that was the motivating factor, it wasn't the entire reason!

And both the man and woman knew about that before getting married. Now that Renee An brought it out, Waynie didn't know what to say.

"But the both of you knew about it and you were willing!" Waynie said.

"Yes, I was willing at that time. But now I am just regretting every part of it. If I had known... I will never agree to it!" When Renee An said that, she stood up angrily.

At that moment, auntie Li brought breakfast out and they bumped into each other. The plate of breakfast fell to the floor and broke into pieces.

Auntie Li and Waynie was shocked. As Renee An turned her head over and looked at the wasted effort of auntie Li, she was angry yet guilty. "Forget about the breakfast!" After saying that, she turned around and ran upstairs.

Auntie Li and Waynie looked at each other worriedly. That gentle and kind hearted Renee An had changed...

"Just clean it up first..." Waynie sighed.

Auntie Li didn't say a word and she started to clean up the mess.

As for Renee An, after she got upstairs and shut the doors, she broke into tears.

She didn't want to behave that way. But she just couldn't control herself!

If she had known about that sooner, she would never agree to this marriage!

The woman knew that it was a political marriage. But she agreed to the proposal because she thought Ralphy had feelings towards her...

But now, she found out that things were vastly different from what she had expected.

At that time, Teneria came out with his book. When he saw auntie Li cleaning up the mess, he asked, "What's wrong? Did anything happen?"

Waynie glanced upstairs and told Teneria everything. After hearing that, the man was silent for a while. The husband and wife realized the gravity of the situation.

It seemed that things were more serious than they thought.

After the father considered, he said, "Call Ralphy, ask him to come home earlier tonight!"

Waynie nodded. If they wanted to know what happened, they should ask Ralphy.

At night.

Ralphy came home very early. The moment he reached home, Waynie and Teneria called him over to question him.

"We do not wish to interfere with what happened between you and Renee. However, we have no choice that now things seemed to be so severe. What actually happened?" Teneria looked at him and asked.

"It's nothing. Just a little conflict!" Ralphy said. He didn't want to involve his parents.

"Really? Will a small conflict really cause so much anger?" Waynie asked.

At that time, Ralphy looked at her, "Mum, don't worry. I will handle it!"

"But..."

"I should get up first!"

Before Waynie could say anything, Ralphy walked away.

In the room.

The moment Ralphy walked inside, Renee An just dropped her call. The woman simply ignored him.

"Let's talk!" Ralphy said.

Renee An lowered her phone and pretended not to see him. The woman simply walked past him.

But the man grabbed her arm.

"Let me go!" Renee An struggled to break free from his grip.

Ralphy simply looked at her seriously, "Let's talk.

"About what?" Renee An looked at him and asked.

"What do you want?" Ralphy asked directly.

"What do I want? How dare you ask what I want? Ralphy, you should think of what you want!" Renee An looked at him and tried her best to suppress her anger.

"There's nothing I want aside from a peaceful life!"

"Peaceful life? Hoho..." Renee An sneered, "Are you joking?!" Right when Renee An wanted to walk away, Ralphy grabbed her back again, "Then what do you want?"

"I want to go back to the past when I did know anything. Can you do that? Can I? Do you think it's possible?!" Renee An screamed. Had she known what she would replace out, she would never have checked his computer. The woman would rather be kept in the dark. However, it was just too late.

"If you want it, we can do that!" Ralphy said.

When Renee An heard that, she was stunned. She looked at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

"If you are willing, I hope that we can stay together peacefully and properly!" The man said.

Renee An squinted her eyes as she stared at him. After that, she sneered, "Stay together? Didn't you say you wanted a divorce?"

"We won't!" The man gave a short reply but his enunciation showed his determination.

But the more he did that, the more it pained Renee An, "You wanted to divorce and we must do it? Now you changed your mind and I need to follow again? Ralphy, who do you think you are? Do you really think I like you so much and I couldn't live without you?" Ralphy simply kept quiet and looked at her.

"Ralphy, you are thinking too highly of yourself!" After saying that, she flung his hand off and wanted to walk away.

At that moment, the man pulled her back and hugged her. At that moment, Renee An looked at Ralphy and her mind went blank.

"Must I do this before you can trust me?" As he said that, the man kissed her.

At that moment, Renee An was stupefied and her mind was completely blank.

*Censored*

Renee An was surprised. When she felt his hand and the electrifying sensation on her body, she pushed him away violently.

*SLAP!*

"What are you doing!!?"

The slap had completely ruined all of Ralphy's mood. He looked at the woman in front of him intently and the man's breath was heavy. The finger mark on his face was so clear that it was frightening.

Renee An leaned on the wall and breathed heavily. Her clothes were a mess. But when she saw the mark on his face, she couldn't say anything.

At that moment, she was just lost.

"Do you think I will believe you if you do that? Ralphy, you are only making yourself more repulsive!" The woman screamed. Next second, she opened the door and ran out.

Ralphy stood inside and listened as she banged the door. The man was just frustrated.

He wanted to settle it peacefully but he seemed to have made things worse and even more entangled.

As he looked at the chair next to him, he kicked it furiously....

When Waynie and Teneria heard the rustling from upstairs, they walked out from the room. The moment they did that, they saw Renee An running out the house.

"That..."

Waynie hurried upstairs to check on them. The moment she opened the door, she saw Ralphy standing inside.

"Ralphy, what happened?" Waynie asked.

Ralphy looked at her and then lowered his face. He didn't how to explain himself.

Renee An was driving and speeding on the road.

Her tears broke out like a broken dam as she recalled what happened earlier.

The woman had truly experienced the frustration and helplessness that made her wanted to scream.

The worst part was that she was struggling in hatred and guilt. She felt wrecked.

The woman drove as fast as she could. She was lost in thought and she simply wanted to vent her anger.

At that time, the moment she approached a T junction, another car came from the right side. The moment she noticed that, she panicked and turned the steering wheel towards the left. As she was doing it too abruptly, the car lost control and she ran into an electric pole...

The car's siren was activated.

Renee An leaned forward on the steering wheel. Her eyes were shut and her forehead was dripping in blood. The woman had lost consciousness...

At that time, the other car saw what happened and the driver was frightened. He hurriedly took out his phone and called the emergency line...

Half an hour later, Ralphy was sitting in his room with a troubled mind. As he recalled what happened, he sighed helplessly. All of a sudden, his phone rang. He took out his phone and didn't even check the number and he answered it. After hearing the opposite party, he was shocked and his face turned pale.

"Okay, I understand!" After hanging up the call, he took the car keys from the table and ran downstairs.

Waynie and Teneria was sitting in the living room. With the state their family was in, they just couldn't rest. When they saw Ralphy rushing downstairs and his distressed face, Waynie asked, "It's so late already, where are you going?"

"Renee is admitted in the hospital..." After saying that, Ralphy went out with the key.

Waynie and Teneria was shocked. However, they knew it wasn't time to ask questions and they followed Ralphy to the hospital.

In the hospital.

When they reached, Renee An was already in the emergency room.

"Doctor, may I know her condition now?" Waynie asked.

"The patient was involved in a car accident. We still don't know her condition. Please be patient!" After saying that, the doctor rushed inside.

Waynie was worried sick and she stood helplessly. If anything were to happen to Renee An, they just couldn't answer to the An family. Ralphy looked at the door after emergency theatre. Although he said nothing, his eyes of distress had showed his fear and worry.

"Ralphy, what actually happened? Why is this happening?!" She we and asked.

"This is not the time for that. Let's wait and see Renee's condition!" Teneria said.

Waynie sighed. The family waited anxiously outside the emergency door. The mother prayed for Renee An's safety.

She was just saddened. Her family used to be so cheerful and joyous, all of a sudden, things just went south and she wasn't able to cope...☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
