My Killing President
Chapter 704 Solution

"How was it? Is everything okay?" Alistair asked.

Annabelle shook her head.

At that time, director Wu came out after them. The moment he saw Alistair, he was surprised. After that he hurriedly approached him with a smile, "President Mu, what a surprise to see you here!" After saying that, he wanted to initiate a hand shake. Alistair stood in front of him. The man had an authoritative posture and expressionless face. His gaze was sharp and cold and he showed no intention to raise his hand for a handshake.

Director Wu lowered his hand awkwardly. He knew that Alistair always acted that way and he didn't say anything.

If it weren't for the sake of his influence, director Wu wouldn't even bother to greet him.

The man was smiling but he was secretly cursing Alistair inside.

"Hi there, president Mu!"

Director Wu smiled fawningly, "What a surprise to see you here. Do you want to go in my office to have some coffee?"

"There's no need for that. I came here to accompany my wife." After saying that, he held Annabelle's hand. It was obvious what he was trying to say. Director Wu looked at Annabelle and he just didn't know what to say.

Just moments ago, he was confronting and causing trouble fiercely for Annabelle. And now, Alistair was clearly showing how important Annabelle was for him. "Okay, let's talk some other day. I shall excuse myself now!" The ever so arrogant director Wu could only be a shoe rubber the moment he met Alistair.

When director Wu saw that Alistair wasn't bothered to answer him, he simply turned around and left.

That man made Annabelle recalled director Lee from Yun Rui. The man was just as arrogant as that. So every company had each to their own a trouble like that.

"I heard that he was causing trouble inside. Did he make things difficult for you?" Alistair looked at Annabelle and asked.

"If I can settle this company crisis in two days, he will never voice out his opinion again. If I can't, I will need to give up all my shares of the Xia Group!" Annabelle told him honestly. She had no intention to hide anything from Alistair.

When Alistair heard that, he had a grim expression, "I think he didn't know what he had done. Do you need me to talk to him?" Alistair raised an eyebrow and asked.

"There's no need. That would be an overkill to ask for your help!" Annabelle said. It had been a long while since she was challenged. She just couldn't hold herself back earlier.

It was because of people like that that a company had to suffer from office politics.

Alistair simply smiled and whispered by her ear, "It seems like Annabelle's back, full of fighting spirit!"

Annabelle simply tilted her head and looked at him. Her eyes lit up, "That's right, she's back!"

She would treat everyone with gentleness and manner. However, that greatly depends on their conduct as well. Since director Wu wanted to challenge her, she wouldn't show any mercy. When Alistair saw how lively Annabelle was, he smiled happily.

At that time, Teneria looked at her and said, "Annabelle, that wasn't the first time director Wu causes trouble. You had only given him what he wanted by saying that!"

Annabelle looked at Teneria and said confidently, "Dad, don't worry about that. If I can't handle it, he would continue to cause trouble. If by chance I could resolve the company matters, he would have to shut up from hereby onwards. That would save the company a lot of trouble!"

"But..."

"Dad, trust me!" Annabelle said determinedly.

When Teneria saw that she was so assured and confident, he trusted his daughter.

"I trust you. No matter what, your dad will stand by your side and support your every decision!" Teneria said.

A gentle smile blossomed on Annabelle's face.

At that time, Ralphy stepped forward from behind, "Since director Wu took up the challenge, he will definitely play dirty. I will make some preparations in case he do something behind our backs!"

"Okay!" Teneria nodded in approval.

"Thank you for the trouble, bro!"

Ralphy nodded and left.

Alistair simply stood on the spot and looked at Ralphy's back. His deep and sharp gaze were narrowed and gleaming in a mysterious light. No one could tell what he was thinking.

The reporters caught on that Annabelle and Teneria was in the company and they were roused. They were just shouting and yelling for Annabelle to accept an interview. However, they showed no respond at all.

Half an hour later, when Annabelle and Alistair wanted to leave the company, Ralphy appeared suddenly and he had a stressed expression.

"Things are getting bad. A lot of netizens are stirring this news up in the internet and they are demanding for Annabelle to step forward!"

Once he said that, Annabelle and Alistair looked at each other. The couple was exchanging information with their gaze.

Something was off.

"It is obvious that director Wu was behind this!"

"Not only that, other search engines and online news were hyping up this matter. There were all kinds of speculations and pressure that will negatively impact the company!" The moment Alistair heard that, he took out his phone and called Jack.

Jack was bored in the company. The moment he saw Alistair's call, he knew something important came up. He answered the phone right away.

"Hello, sir, what do you need-?"

Alistair simply ignored his tone and summarized what happened and gave him his instructions.

Jack knew the gravity of the situation and he immediately answered, "I know what to do!"

After hanging up the call, Alistair looked at Annabelle, "We can only do that much!"

"I shall go look for some help as well. Since he started it, let's burn the fire bigger!" Ralphy said.

Annabelle nodded in agreement and Ralphy turned around to walk away.

Although Alistair and Ralphy were disagreeable, now that someone else was bullying Annabelle, they would unite and stand firm right next to her.

When Alistair and Annabelle saw that Ralphy went back upstairs, they left. Teneria simply went to settle his own matters.

When they got to the doorsteps, the reporters were still waiting outside. Not only that, they showed no signs of giving up. It seemed that they were determined to get something out of their long wait.

The moment they walked out, the security guards tried to clear a path for them. Alistair held Annabelle's hand tightly and he was worried that any accident might happen.

"Miss Xia, can we interview you?"

"Miss Xia, may I ask what is your thought about the news today?"

"Are you really adopted by the Xia family?"

"Miss Xia, please talk to us!"

"Miss Xia..."

The reporters were just harassing Annabelle. Alistair simply protected and escorted Annabelle to their car.

At that moment, one of the reporters escaped the line of security guard and he charged forward. When the rest of them saw one reporter had broken through the defenses, they became more violent and pushed through as well. The security guards were shoved aside and the reporters swarmed forward.

Alistair was holding Annabelle's hand and he was shoved aside immediately.

At that moment, he turned his head back in fright and he noticed that the reporters had surrounded Annabelle completely.

"Miss Xia, please clarify!"

"Miss Xia, can you please answer us?"

"Miss Xia..."

Countless cameras and recorders were aimed at Annabelle. The woman bit her lips and said nothing. No matter what she said, they would come up with their own speculations. It was best for her to say nothing.

However, the reporters just wouldn't let their chance slip by. Now that they finally caught her, they must make sure to make something out from her.

"Miss Xia, do you mind to clear things up?"

"Are you admitting it by keeping your silence?"

"Did anything happened to the Xia Group?"

The reporters continued to harass her with countless questions.

"Excuse me..." Annabelle tried to push her way through. However, she just couldn't fight against the aggressive crowd. The reporters were gathering around her like hyenas. They were desperate, hungry and frightful that their competitors might get the first-hand news and that caused them to be more aggressive. When they were pushing and shoving, it was just easy to injure Annabelle.

As expected, as they pushed Annabelle around for a little while, the woman was getting dizzy. When she almost fell down, Alistair grabbed her in time.

Annabelle fell into his hug.

"Annabelle..." He called out nervously.

This reporters around them were stunned but they did not go easy on them.

"President Mu, can you please clarify?"

"SCRAM!!!" Alistair roared. The man's face was a complete thunder and the rage he exuded could freeze the surroundings.

At that time, the reporters near to him were stunned.

They hadn't thought that Alistair would get so angry.

Alistair was just worried about the person in his hug, "Annabelle..." He called her name worriedly.

When Annabelle remained unresponsive with her eyes shut, he felt that his heart was ripped apart.

The man raised his head and scanned around. His voice sounded threatening and merciless as if it was from the depth of the abyss, "If anything were to happen to her, I will make sure every one of you pays!!!"

After saying that, he carried Annabelle up and walked towards their car.

Due to his sudden outburst, the reporters were stunned. They were so focused in interviewing Annabelle and they hadn't realized the gravity of the situation.

When they looked at how worried he was, they were just worried that anything might happened to Annabelle. After all, the woman had lost consciousness.

And none of them could suffer the wrath of Alistair.

Alistair carried Annabelle into the car and his face was grim.

"To the hospital!"

The driver nodded. He looked at them through the rearview mirror and started the car and drove the hospital.

Alistair was hugging Annabelle on their way there. The man let her lean on his body while hugging her tightly. He rested his face on her head and rubbed on her hair gently, feeling her warmth. Every second and minute in the car felt like years for the man. He was just afraid that anything would happened to Annabelle.

In the hospital.

After sending in Annabelle for the checkup, Alistair waited outside anxiously.

When the Mu and Xia family heard the news, they rushed over and asked Alistair about her condition worriedly.

However, Alistair didn't know as well. He was just walking around and waiting in distress.

About twenty minutes later, a doctor came out from inside.

"Doctor, how is she?" Alistair rushed over right away and asked worriedly.

The two families approached the doctor as well. They were so afraid that the doctor would say anything frightening.

The doctor simply looked at them and smiled politely, "You don't have to worry. She was just having some pregnancy drowsiness. It is not a problem and her baby is fine!"

When the family heard that she was fine, all of them released the breath that they uncontrollably held.

"Are you sure she is all right?" Alistair asked again.

The doctor simply smiled, "She fainted because she was low on blood sugar and she happened to be too stressed out. Don't worry!"

After hearing that, Alistair finally rested his heart. He looked at the ward and walked inside directly.

Annabelle was lying in the bed. Her eyelashes flickered and it seemed as if she was about to wake up.

Alistair hurried over and sat beside her. The man held her hand and called her name gently, "Annabelle, Annabelle..."

As the rest of the family gathered inside, they were all worried. However, they simply looked at her worriedly and kept quiet.

When Alistair saw that she opened her eyes slowly, he rested his heart.

"Are you awake?" He asked gently. His voice was charming and deep. However, due to that nervousness and worry, it sounded even more enticing. Annabelle looked at the man's close up face and blinked her eyes, "I am fine!"

"You almost scared me to death!" Alistair said with a hoarse voice. He had a stressed out expression and it was observable that he was badly worried. "Sorry for worrying you!" Annabelle said gently.

"As long as you are good now, everything is fine!" Alistair sighed in relief.

At that time, the grandmother couldn't hold back anymore and she walked forward, "Annabelle, you almost gave this old woman a heart attack!" When Annabelle saw the grandmother walking forward, she realized that all of her families were there and they were all worried sick about her. "Sorry about that, grandma. I've made you worried!"

"Don't worry about this old woman. You are the priority here. I will be restful as long as you are okay!" The grandmother said.

"Yeah, Annabelle. Even if you are not worried about yourself, do prioritize the well-being of your baby!" Waynie came out and added.

When Annabelle heard the family ganging against her, she pushed herself up from the bed and wanted to get up. When Alistair saw that, he helped her.

"Sorry, I know my mistakes now!" The woman owned up to it. Otherwise, she might need to listen to their nag for the next few hours.

When they saw Annabelle admitting her fault, they broke into a chuckle. After finally releasing the emotional tension after getting so worried, they felt as if all of their energy had been drained. At that time, Annabelle at Alistair and said, "How was it now?"

"You should worry about your health!"

"I'm fine. I will make sure to prioritize my own health condition!" Annabelle said.

When she was being so stubborn, there was nothing the rest could do. However, Alistair believed that Annabelle will not joke about with her baby.

"The news about you getting admitted was made viral. Everything was a mess now!"

Annabelle pondered for a while and said, "I am thinking of organizing a press conference!"

When Alistair heard that, he wasn't the least bit surprised. It was as if he had anticipated it long ago.

"Have you made up your mind?" He raised an eyebrow and asked.

Aside from that, they do not have any ways to prove it. It wouldn't be practical to fake a DNA test report and tell the public that Annabelle was Teneria's real daughter.

That was deceiving everyone else. If anyone were to replace out about it in the future, they would just receive a public condemnation.

Therefore, the best way would be to clarify things through a press conference.

Annabelle nodded, "Yeah!"

"Okay, as long as you have decided, I will support you." Alistair said. The husband was completely supportive of her every decision.

Annabelle smiled.

At that time, the grandmother fumed in frustration, "These good for nothings! Why should we clarify our family matters to them? What does it have to do with them!?"

When Madam Mu saw the mother simmering in temper, she walked forward and held her arm, "Since we are standing in the spotlight, it is just natural that we have to sacrifice something. Even if we don't like it, we have no way but to play according to the rules!" Madam Mu was spot on.

Since the family was living in the pinnacle that others could never reach, it was destined for them to be the gossip material of others. The grandmother was well aware of that. However, she was just feeling pained hearted for Annabelle.

"Annabelle, no matter what, you have grandma's support. You are now one of us Mu!" The grandmother said lovingly.

Annabelle smiled at the grandmother, "Grandma, I am so happy to have all of your love and support. Don't worry, I am fine!"

"Yeah!" The grandmother nodded cheerfully.

Annabelle smiled and all of the family members were restful.

Annabelle's identity was always a mystery. Now that she got admitted into the hospital because of the violent reporters, the rumors were even more hyped up. All sorts of speculations were stirred in the Internet and it simply went viral in A city. There were people that said she did it, fainted on purpose. Some condemned the reporters for being immoral just for the sake of getting news.

All in all, there were all sorts of speculations and gossips. At first, there were people that didn't pay attention on this matter. However, the hype created was just too great and they were influenced and made aware as well.

Renee An saw the news.

The woman was stunned.

Her face was pale and she immediately logged in her Blog account and checked on the pictures when Annabelle fainted.

At that time, some reporters caught the pictures of Alistair carrying Annabelle and walked into the car in distress.

Renee An knew that Annabelle had no need to lie because it simply wasn't necessary.

Therefore, she had really gotten into trouble...

Renee An was struck with guilt and worry.

She took out her phone and wanted to make a call. But she didn't know who she should call.

All of a sudden, she was like a cat on hot bricks and she was just burdened with guilt.

She hadn't thought that things would escalate to this.

She shouldn't have done it in the first place...

Renee An was so anxious and she just couldn't sit still in her room.

Finally, she was just too troubled with guilt and she took up her handbag and left her house.

In the hospital.

When Renee An saw a lot of people entering and exiting Annabelle's ward, she didn't walk inside but simply watched from afar distance.

She didn't know how she should approach the family. And she didn't know how she should face them at all.

Moreover, she dreaded confrontation and she simply won't take the step.

At that time, she simply stopped a nurse and asked her about Annabelle's condition. After replaceing out that everything was fine, she was relieved.

It was completely not her intention to cause any harm to anyone.

After knowing that Annabelle was fine, she was prepared to leave.

Dorie and Su came to visit after learning of the news. And they happened to walk past Renee An.

Renee An did not pay attention as she kept her head low all the time. When Dorie saw her back, her eyebrows lowered.

"What's wrong?" Su looked at her and asked.

Dorie came back to her senses and replied, "Uh, it's nothing!"

"Let's go inside then!"

"Okay!" Dorie nodded and the two of them walked inside. When Dorie looked at Su, she recalled something all of a sudden and said, "Wear a mask, if someone were to recognize you, the reporters might just write something again!"

Su didn't say anything and simply wore his mask.

"Okay, let's hurry!" Covi said.

And the three of them walked inside.

"Annabelle, are you alright? Is everything okay?" The moment Dorie stepped inside the ward, she rushed towards Annabelle and asked her.

Annabelle was sitting on her bed and when she saw them coming, she smiled cheerfully, "Look at me, I am completely fine!"

"Didn't I tell you, you should have went to the temple with me after you got discharged that time! You didn't do that and now you get admitted again. Now this time round after you got discharged, you must make sure to go to the temple with me!" Dorie said. Although the woman wasn't a superstitious person, she just decided not to take risk. After all, Annabelle had been admitted to the hospital for far too many times this year.

"Okay okay!" Annabelle answered perfunctorily. Otherwise, Dorie would be nagging on and on again.

After hearing that, Dorie let her off the hook.

At that time, Covi looked at Annabelle, "We were almost scared to death after hearing of that news!" It wasn't that much of the deal if she were to faint in normal condition. Now that she was pregnant, there were just worried about any possible complications. Annabelle looked at Covi and chuckled, "Sorry for worrying you guys. I didn't even have the time to tell you I am fine!"

"How can we be restful if we didn't come over and visit you personally!?"

Although Annabelle hadn't known Covi for long, she appreciated the friend's genuine care. She held her hand and said nothing as words couldn't convey her gratitude.

At that time, Dorie looked at her and said, "By the way, I just saw your sister-in-law leaving. Didn't she come with your brother?"

"Sister-in-law?" Annabelle frowned.

"Yeah, when I came in, I saw her walking away!"

Annabelle looked at Alistair immediately and the man rose and walked out right away.

"What, what happened?" Dorie asked. Judging from her observation, something was definitely wrong.

Although she wasn't familiar with Renee An, they had met several times and participated in both weddings. She wouldn't just ignore Dorie and didn't even bother to greet her. Moreover, Renee An's expression didn't look fine at all, she looked very troubled.000000
