My Killing President novel Chapter 702

Annabelle looked at him and smiled.

At that time, Alistair's phone rang. When he saw that it was Jerry Kuang, he answered it.

"Alistair, that was not my fault!" The moment the call went through, Jerry Kuang shook off the responsibility. It was truly unrelated to him!

"Are you telling me it was my fault?"

"It is just your luck!"

Alistair, "…"

Probably, they were only three persons in the world that dared to speak to Alistair that way.

When Jerry Kuang saw that Alistair wasn't replying, he said seriously, "I have instructed my assistant to do everything he can to suppress this news. However, I heard that it had already caused quite the interest and it is quite challenging to suppress it completely!"

"I simply want to know who the one that gave them the tip was. I want to know the person behind!" It was obvious that it is difficult to suppress this news. However, the man must know the identity of the person responsible.

It was a malicious attempt targeting Annabelle. He didn't know the objective but he knew he shouldn't keep such risk factor by her side.

"I knew you would ask that and I have already sent my men to investigate it. I will let you know the moment I get the news!" Jerry Kuang said. It was rare for him to be so serious and proper.

"Okay, I shall wait for your news!"

The moment the call ended, Annabelle looked at Alistair, "Do you think that someone was doing that on purpose?"

"There wasn't many people that know about it. Moreover, it just happened so suddenly and I just couldn't shake off that doubt!" Alistair said. The man looked outside the window and his eyes were gleaming like a gem.

With what happened, Annabelle's mind was just jumbled up. Now that her relationship with the Xia family was completely transparent. It felt somewhat awkward. The woman was troubled as how she should face her family in the future. She hadn't been thinking about other things at all.

Now that Alistair mentioned it, she gave it a serious thought and she was agreeable.

"There weren't many people that know about this. Who would tell it? And even published it in the newspaper!" Annabelle said. She tried her best to comb back her memories, thinking every possible person that knows about it. However, that information just wouldn't benefit anyone at all.

Alistair looked at Annabelle and he was in deep thought. Actually, he had a suspicion but he didn't want to say anything without evidence. He wanted to wait for Jerry Kuang's investigation first.

"All right, let's not think about that. We will know the moment Jerry was done with his investigation!" Alistair held Annabelle's hand.

When Annabelle heard that, she nodded agreeably.

"Let us think of how we should handle this first!"

Annabelle nodded, "Dad and mom must be worried sick, let me call them!"

Alistair nodded.

After contemplating for a while, Annabelle took out her phone and made the call.

She knew she must face this eventually.

And Annabelle was right. Teneria and Waynie was worried about that matter as well. The reporters had swarmed the house and everyone wanted to know what happened.

It was so sudden that things were exposed and they just weren't prepared.

Waynie was worried and heartbroken. She was the one that brought Annabelle up and she treated the girl like her real daughter. However, now that the scandal was exposed, she just didn't know what to do.

The parents were worried that Annabelle might blame them for hiding the truth. Now they were just thinking on how they should explain things to Annabelle. While they were discussing, Annabelle called.

The parents simply stared at each other stupidly.

They decided to surrender to fate.

Teneria answered the phone, "Hello, Annabelle…"

"Dad!" Annabelle called out. All of a sudden, she didn't know how she should continue.

"Annabelle, I believe you have already seen the news today. Actually…"

"Dad, I have known about it a long time ago!" Annabelle said.

Teneria was stunned, "You, you have known about that?"

Annabelle decided not to hide it anymore, "Yeah!"

Ralphy and didn't know what to say. He glanced over at Waynie and she simply shrugged her shoulder and said nothing.

When Alistair saw that Annabelle didn't know how to continue, he took the phone over from her and put it by her ears, "Dad, it's me. I will go over with Annabelle later. Let's discuss for a solution!"

When Teneria heard Alistair's voice, his tone was relaxed right away, "Okay, we will wait for the two of you!"

After hanging up the call, Alistair passed the phone back to Annabelle, "Since the news wouldn't change anything, why not just be straightforward?"

Annabelle didn't know why but the moment she heard the man, all of her nervousness and worries were swept away. The man was right, even if her identity was exposed, it didn't change anything. Then, why should she worry?

"Okay, let's go over together!" Alistair said.

Annabelle nodded and they walked out together.

The reporters by the door were being handled by the PR team. However, they still didn't give up and were eyeing closely on their movements.

Alistair's driver was waiting outside the door. The moment the couple got inside the car, they drove directly to the Xia family.

There were a lot of reporters camping outside the Xia house. They had completely surrounded the place and yelling for the family to give them an interview. However, the doors were tightly shut and they should no intention to accept their interview.

Fortunately, they had a back door and the butler was waiting over there. Alistair and Annabelle entered through the back door and the reporters didn't notice it.

In the living room.

Annabelle, Alistair, Teneria and Waynie sat on the couch.

The parents were shocked to know that Annabelle had found out about it long ago.

"Actually I am the one to blame. I shouldn't have hide it from you for so long. That was because I just didn't know how I should say it!" Teneria said apologetically.

When Annabelle heard that, she was able to completely let go. Her lips curled up faintly, "Dad, it doesn't matter if I know it or not, I am always your daughter. Do you think that will change anything?" Annabelle asked.

When Teneria and Waynie heard Annabelle, they looked at each other.

Of course nothing would change! The parents knew she wasn't their own daughter but they treated her all the same. They were just worried that she might misunderstand.

"Of course not!" Waynie said, "I… I was so afraid that you might blame us so we never told you!"

Annabelle smiled, "Dad, mom, sorry. I was immature back then. But now I want to tell you that no matter what happens, I will always be your daughter. This will never change!" Annabelle said solemnly.

When Teneria and Waynie heard that, they exchanged a look. Now that their greatest fear did not happen, they couldn't describe their feeling.

"Annabelle…" Waynie stretched out her hand and hugged Annabelle. The daughter hugged the mother back as well.
