My Killing President novel Chapter 721

The man seemed to be speaking the truth.

"Director Lee, you think Alistair Mu would do something like tax fraud?" Annabelle Xia looked at him and asked coldly.

The moment director Lee heard that, his laughter stopped, "So you were lying?"

Now Annabelle Xia could confirm that he wasn't the one behind that.

Since the man had admitted tampering the raw materials, he didn't have a need to lie about the tax fraud!

However… Annabelle Xia just couldn't shake off the feeling that both two cases were done by the same person.

By the way, the man mentioned that someone was behind the first incident. When Annabelle Xia recalled that, she sunk into a sudden realization.

"You just said you weren't the mastermind, who was it?!" Annabelle Xia asked.

Director Lee simply looked at her and giggled. His cloudy eyes were filled with mirth, "Are you sure you want to know?"

"Am I not convincing enough?"

"Annabelle Xia, if I were to tell you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to accept the truth!"

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, if you were to find out, you will be too overwhelmed!"

Annabelle Xia was feeling a bad hunch already. Director Lee seemed to be messing with her but at the same time, he seemed to be speaking the truth as well. Annabelle Xia didn't know if she should believe him.

"Who was it?"

"Why should I tell you?" Director Lee asked back.

"Don't you always hate me and Alistair Mu? Didn't you say it will overwhelm me? Just say it then, maybe you can give me a shock!"

She was right.

Although director Lee knew that Annabelle Xia was tricking him, what she said was also true.

"Okay, let me tell you. That person is… RALPHY XIA!!" Director Lee looked at Annabelle Xia and enunciated. The man was just looking forward to see her reaction.

Right after he said that, Annabelle Xia frowned, "That is impossible!"

"HAHAHA! I knew you wouldn't believe it! But that is the truth!!!" Director Lee enunciated.

Annabelle Xia simply fell back to her chair and looked at him, "Director Lee, do you think you will be able to sabotage our relationship by doing that?"

"If you don't believe, feel free to ask Alistair Mu. He is such a sharp-witted man, he would have known by now!" Director Lee said that slyly.

Annabelle Xia's face turned pale. Would brother really do that?

No!

She refused to believe it!

But why, there was a silent sound from within that told her it was Ralphy Xia?

If that was the case, it made sense for Alistair Mu to take no action after Yun Rui got into trouble. Could it really be...?

When Annabelle Xia's mind was jumbled up, director Lee scoffed and stood up to leave. The man didn't even bother to tell her. Sometime after he left, Annabelle Xia came back to her senses.

She sat helplessly on the chair and she was lost.

All of a sudden, she had a fear. What if it was truly her brother? What should she do?

She contemplated for a long time but she had just got the same answer: she didn't know!

She didn't know what to do at all!

As she thought about that, she took out her phone and made a call to Ralphy Xia. She just couldn't hold back anymore.

After ringing for a while, the call was answered.

"Hello…"

"Brother, it's me!" Annabelle Xia said.

"Annabelle? What's the matter?"

Annabelle Xia didn't know how she should say it. If it wasn't Ralphy Xia, then she would fall into director Lee's trick. And their relationship might have a crack because of that. She wouldn't be able to face Ralphy Xia after this.

However, if she didn't ask him… She just couldn't rest her heart!

"Annabelle? Did anything happen?" When Ralphy Xia didn't get any respond from Annabelle Xia, the brother asked worriedly.

"Bro, do you know what happened to Yun Rui lately?" Annabelle Xia asked.

It was beyond Ralphy Xia's wildest imagination that Annabelle Xia would call him and ask that.

He reclined to his chair and tried to relax himself, "Yes, the news had been reporting it. Why are you asking that?"

Should she just ask directly?

"I want to ask… What is your opinion on it?"

"My opinion? Why are you asking that all of the sudden?" Ralphy Xia asked back. The man had a hunch that something was wrong, otherwise, Annabelle Xia wouldn't make that call.

"It's nothing, I simply want to ask for your opinion!"

"That isn't my company and I have no comment!"

Ralphy Xia's answer was too politically correct. Annabelle Xia just didn't know how to continue. She held her phone and said, "Bro, I believe you will never do anything to hurt me!"

The moment she said that, Ralphy Xia was silent.

The brother held his phone and didn't know what to say.

After a long while, he said, "Of course, how can I hurt you!?" The man would never hurt Annabelle Xia.

And he just couldn't understand Annabelle Xia's question. That was because in his opinion, what he did wasn't hurting Annabelle Xia but saving her!

In the end, Annabelle Xia simply hung up the call.

However, the tension in her mind wasn't the least bit relieved. It became even more entangled and troubling.

It seemed that the thing she feared the most had happened…

……

That night, Alistair Mu came home around one o'clock in the midnight.
