My Killing President novel Chapter 683

"Xiao-an, it's getting late now and you should go back already!" Nancy spoke right at the moment before their lips touched.

Antonio Lu's movement stopped as well. He looked at Nancy and hesitated for a few seconds. After that, he moved back and looked outside, "You are right. It is getting late now and you should rest already. Let me visit you again tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Nancy nodded and she just hoped that he could leave faster.

And so, Antonio Lu left in Nancy's ‘hopeful' eyes.

The moment he left, Nancy breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but recalled that she now has an excuse to meet Alistair the next day. That seemed to be… Something worth a celebration!

The next day.

Early in the morning, Nancy dressed herself up and went to Alistair's company.

Since everyone knew her relationship with Alistair already, she didn't need to ask for permission and walked into his office directly.

Alistair looked at her and crossed his fingers, "Why are you looking for me?"

"I want five million!"

Alistair frowned, "Why do you need so much money?"

"I have my own reasons!"

"You would definitely have a reason to request such a huge amount of money so suddenly. Let's hear it!" Alistair closed the files on his desk and prepared himself to have a proper talk with her.

Nancy frowned. She knew she couldn't tell him she needed the money to help Antonio Lu. Otherwise, Alistair would just jeer on her!

Therefore, Nancy decided not to tell him.

"I want to buy something!"

"You don't need five million for that!" After saying that, Alistair took out his pen and cheque book. The man wrote on it and passed to her, "One million is enough!"

When Nancy saw the cheque in front of her, she frowned in annoyance, "Alistair, I am simply taking the money daddy left me. Why do I need your permission?"

"Your daddy entrusted the money for me because he wanted me to keep an eye on you. Otherwise, he could just give it to you directly, why go through me?"

"You… I don't care, I want five million!" Nancy said. She was in a good mood to see him but it was completely ruined now.

Alistair stared intently at her, "Tell me, why do you need it?"

The man was suspicious that Nancy requested so much money all of a sudden.

"I said I want to buy something!" Nancy said determinedly.

"Okay…" Alistair took out his black gold credit card, "You can just use my card to buy anything you want. It is unlimited!"

"You…"

As she looked at Alistair's confident look, she was infuriated but there was nothing she could do.

In the end, she looked at that one million cheque and snatched it over, "I will call my daddy!" After saying that, she took the cheque and left.

Alistair continued to sit there and didn't move. His eyes turned into a cold chill the moment Nancy went out.

Annabelle and Covi was shopping in the mall. As they were buying their goods, they were complaining that Dorie's change of job had made her too busy. She couldn't even find time to shop with them.

However, when Annabelle was almost done and wanted to leave the mall, she saw a familiar figure.

Wasn't that Antonio Lu?

Annabelle's eyebrows furrowed deeply. What about the woman next to him…?

When she saw that they were so intimate together, she had a good guess in her heart.

At that time, she took out her phone right away and snapped a picture.

Covi was puzzled and she asked, "Annabelle, what are you doing?"

After Annabelle took their picture, she kept her phone back carefully, "It's nothing!"

When Covi saw that Annabelle kept staring in the same direction, she followed her gaze out of curiosity.

"Are you looking at Antonio Lu?"

When she heard that name from Covi, Annabelle turned his head over and looked at her in puzzlement, "Do you know him?"

"You mean that infamous playboy? Of course! We were just gossiping about him yesterday. The man's company had gotten into some trouble lately and he has been borrowing money everywhere. I even heard that he found himself a rich old woman and by leveraging on his appearance, he cheated her money!" When Covi was talking about that, she was showing a deriding expression.

When Annabelle heard that, she couldn't help but opened her mouth wide in shock, "Are you serious?"

Covi nodded, "Yeah!"

Annabelle was quiet. Although she didn't like Nancy at all, the woman hadn't done anything to hurt her. Now that she learnt of something like that, she just couldn't sit back and ignore it!

When Annabelle looked forward again, Antonio Lu was nowhere to be seen anymore. She pondered for a while and decided to discuss that with Alistair.

After getting back to the company with Covi, the friend went back to work while she simply went into Alistair's office.

As Annabelle walked inside, Alistair was giving Jack some instructions. The moment the man saw Annabelle walking in, he simply said to Jack, "You may go now!"

Jack nodded and wanted to get out. When he walked passed Annabelle, he greeted her, "Miss Xia!"

Annabelle smiled and Jack exited the office.

Alistair sat on his director's chair and looked at Annabelle. His lips curled up as he asked, "How was your shopping? Are you tired?"

Annabelle walked towards him and left her goods on his desk. Alistair stretched out his hand and Annabelle held him.

"Quite enjoyable, but a little tired!" Annabelle said gently. Ever since getting pregnant, she was exuding a feminine temperament. Whenever Alistair saw her, he just felt that he could never get enough of her.

"Sit down and rest for a while!" After saying that, Alistair let Annabelle sit on his lap.

Annabelle smiled and looked at him. After considering for some time, she made up her mind and spoke, "Alistair, I think I need to tell you something!"

As Alistair looked at her, his gorgeous face was smiling gently. His gaze was feeling with affection, "What is it?"

"When I was shopping today, I saw Antonio Lu with another woman. After that, I heard that his company was facing some financial trouble. And the man had been looking for women for financial help…" Annabelle told Alistair everything she learnt about the man.

After hearing that, the smile on Alistair's face slowly subsided and a storm was brewing in his eyes.

"Who did you hear that from?"

"Covi. She said that the design department was gossiping about that. Many people had seen him with different women!" Annabelle said.

Alistair's expression turned grim, "It seemed like he is trying to play with fire!"

Annabelle squinted her eyes and looked at Alistair. She asked the man probingly, "Alistair, did you know about this?"

Alistair stared in her eyes, "I simply know that his company was having some cash flow problem and he was in some debt. But I didn't know he was doing something so bad!"

Annabelle was silent as well. Antonio Lu had a decent look but he was actually such a trash bag.

Alistair recalled something all of a sudden and his expression changed. Annabelle observed his change in expression and she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nancy just came to ask me for money!"

"What money?"

"Before master left, he left some money for her in my place. To be exact, that money was meant to put Antonio Lu to test. Nancy came to request five million earlier!"

"Are you saying that Antonio Lu cheated Nancy!?" Annabelle asked.

Alistair nodded.

If that was the case, Antonio Lu was just despicable.

"What do you plan to do?"

"I shall give him the rightful punishment!"

"What would Nancy do if you do that?" Annabelle asked, "Maybe Nancy was deceived and taking his side!"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Annabelle pondered for a while and said, "Maybe I should go talk to her!"

"You?" Alistair looked at her and he was dubious.

Annabelle looked at him and raised her chin, "Why? Do you doubt me?"

"No, don't you mind?"

"Of course I do. However, we need to consider the gravity of the situation. If Nancy were to get involved with such complications, you wouldn't be able to live in peace. At that time, it would bother me even more!" Annabelle said smilingly. After all, Nancy hadn't done any harm at all. She simply fell in love with the wrong man. Moreover, Annabelle should be more gracious towards her considering her age.

When Alistair heard Annabelle, his lips curled up, "Miss Xia, I like how much you care about me!" He said.

"Mr. Mu, don't be overthinking. I am doing it for the baby!"

"Good excuse!"

Annabelle gave him an eye roll and Alistair laughed heartily, "How was it? Do you want me to go with you?"

"There's no need. If you are present, she might feel humiliated and we don't know what might happen!" Annabelle shook her head as she pondered.

Alistair contemplated for a while and nodded, "You are right. Then you should be more careful. Call me if anything happens!"

Annabelle stood up from his lap and nodded, "Okay, I will!"

"I'll get Coby to send you!"

"There's no need for that, I can just drive myself!" Annabelle continued, "If Coby were to send me over, doesn't that prove that you know about it as well?"

Alistair was worried, "But how can you drive now?"

"I am simply in my first trimester. Why not? No problem at all!" She said cheerfully.

Since the woman said that, Alistair had no choice but to agree, "Okay, make sure to drive safe!"

"Okay!"
