My Killing President novel Chapter 704

"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.
