My Killing President

Chapter 701 Effort

After Renee An was discharged, she went back to her own home.

The day she was discharged, Ralphy did not go to the hospital. However, Waynie, Teneria and even

Annabelle went.

Renee An still wasn't in the best mood and Sky An and Claudia Yun were furious.

It didn't matter what excuse Waynie and Teneria gave. Ralphy had completely roused their anger.

When Ralphy came back in the night, Waynie and Teneria were waiting for him in the living room.

"I'm back!"

Waynie and Teneria looked at him and said nothing. However, the parents were showing an infuriated

face.

When Ralphy noticed that, he walked towards them, "Dad, mom, what's wrong?"

"Renee was discharged today. Why didn't you go?"

The moment Ralphy heard that, he averted his gaze diffidently, "I have a lot of meetings in the

company today…"

"Can that be more important Renee An? Ralphy, with you acting like this, what do you think Renee's

parents would think of you?"

Ralphy simply kept his silent and didn't say anything.

The man knew but he didn't want to rile further conflict.

Since Renee An had no intention to see him, then he should just disappear from her side.

"Can't you make up your priorities? I don't care what happened between you and Renee, you must get

her back from the An family!" After saying that, Teneria simply went back his room.

All these while, Teneria had been giving his son his own space and respect. The father was always

gentle but this is the first time he gave a direct order.

In another word, now that he was infuriated, no one dared to say anything.

Waynie simply glanced at Ralphy and also followed her husband upstairs.

Ralphy stood in the same spot for quite some time. He didn't say anything and walked upstairs

afterward.

He opened the door to his room.

Previously, whenever he went back, he would see that cheerful woman welcoming him. But today, the

room seemed extra huge and empty.

Ralphy switched on the wall lights and walked inside. The man showed no emotion on his face and no

one could tell what he was thinking.

Whenever he came in the room in the past, he would always think of reasons to hide in his study room.

However, now the man was sitting inside and he just couldn't get used to it. He didn't know what to do.

In the end, he stood up and went to the study room.

Only when he was inside that familiar space, his restless heart could calm down.

This time round, there was nothing he could distract himself with. The man simply stood in front of the

window and looked outside into the distance.

The man's figure was tall and the shadow behind him was long and lonely. What was everything for…?

After staying home for a few days, Renee An had completely healed.

But she was troubled that her mother kept probing about what happened between her and Ralphy.

"Renee, can you tell mom what happened?" Renee An couldn't even remember how many times she

heard that question.

She wasn't a kid anymore and she wouldn't be complaining something like that to them and expecting

her parents to solve her problem.

Probably, in the deepest side of a heart, she didn't want that to happen between her and Ralphy.

Even if she was greatly troubled, sorrowful and hurt, the woman would simply bear with it herself.

Probably doing something to vent her emotion.

"It really nothing!"

"Nothing? Do you see your mother as a three year old? I have also experienced that and I have seen

and heard more than you. Do you think I can't tell that the two of you had a huge conflict?" Claudia Yun

said. The mother wasn't a difficult person that finds fault. However, like any other mother, she was

defensive towards her own daughter.

Renee An sat rigidly as the mother was talking. The daughter wasn't showing any expression.

When Claudia Yun saw that Renee An wasn't speaking, she frowned, "Did he do anything that betrays

your marriage?"

Renee An was stunned.

Was the mother so experienced or she simply made a good guess?

When Claudia Yun saw her expression, she frowned, "Really!?"

"Sigh, no. He didn't!" Renee An continued, "Mum, can you stop asking? It isn't like what you think. I am

tired, please leave me alone..."

"Renee…"

"All right now mum, I understand and I will handle it. Please just give me some time!" After saying that,

Renee An climbed down from the bed and shoved her mother out the door. After shutting the door, she

could finally breathed a relief.

"This child…" Claudia Yun shook her head helplessly outside the door as she left.

After her footsteps disappeared in the corridor, Renee An was relieved.

She walked back into her into room and didn't know what to do.

Actually, she was fine if she didn't see Ralphy. The moment she saw him, she would be riled as she

recalled the days she was deceived.

The woman had loved him so purely and committedly. But she was just a fool in his eyes!

Otherwise, how could she not notice something so obvious!?

Renee An walked towards the balcony. The weather was sunny and cloudless, a complete opposite

from what she was feeling.

Even if she hated the man very much and was filled with resentment. There were times that she

wondered if he did feel any guilt, or if he even had the slightest feelings towards her…

However, whenever she thought about that, she would deny it immediately!

Renee An, give it up!

He had never liked you. If he did, even just for the tiniest bit, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

Renee An drew a deep breath and tried to stop herself from thinking further about that matter. She

decided to go along with the flow.

For the next few days, Renee An had been staying at home. She hardly even go out from her room and

that made her parents worry.

In the end, the mother asked for Jerry Kuang's help.

Renee An would always listen to his cousin and the parents were hopeful that he could give her some

advice and comfort.

……

In a coffee house.

Jerry Kuang crossed his legs and sipped on his coffee elegantly. Renee An was showing a

disinterested expression, stirring her coffee from time to time, "Why are you looking for me?"

"Nothing special~"

Renee An frowned and stared at Jerry Kuang, "If it's nothing, why are you asking me out?"

"It's not me but your mother. She is worried about you and she asked me to bring you out to take a

breather!"

When Renee An heard that, she understood immediately. The woman sighed helplessly.

"A quarrel?" Since they were out, Jerry Kuang asked perfunctorily.

"We didn't!" Renee An said. Wasn't it just humiliating if she were to admit that to someone else?

Jerry Kuang simply smiled, "Maybe I can help you. After all, I can give you advice based on a man's

point of view!"

Jerry Kuang was a shrewd businessman indeed. Just one sentence and he could grab her attention.

Renee An's eyes flickered. She was tempted to tell him.

The woman lifted the coffee and didn't know what to say.

"Did he have other women outside?" Jerry Kuang said.

Renee An looked at Jerry Kuang with a surprised gaze. Did she show it over her face or something?

If not, why was everyone asking her if Ralphy was cheating?

"Why are you guessing that?" Renee An asked curiously.

Jerry Kuang simply smiled elegantly, "The only thing a woman finds hard to forgive a man would be

them cheating. Do you even need a logical explanation for that?"

Renee An, "…"

"Not really…He didn't." Renee An shook her head.

"Oh? Then?" Jerry Kuang raised an eyebrow and asked. The man's curiosity was roused.

He wasn't a gossiper but he enjoyed it whenever he could get a hold of other people's weakness. That

would give him a sense of achievement.

Renee An continued to drink her coffee and she found it difficult to share, "It was me… I accidentally

found out something in his past!"

"What is it?"

"That he used to like someone very much!"

"That is just normal. Every man has someone they like!"

"But… He liked this particular woman for more than ten years!" Renee An said.

When Jerry Kuang heard that, he was even more curious.

They were in the same business industry. Although he didn't associate much with Ralphy, he had

reported news about him. The man would bounce from woman to woman but he never stayed for long

in a relationship.

Now that Jerry Kuang heard such a huge news, he was surprised.

"Oh? Really? Who was that? I didn't know!" It was rare to be Jerry Kuang to be so interested.

Renee An looked at him, "You shouldn't care about the other party!"

When Jerry Kuang heard that, his imagination ran wild, "So it seems that I know her!"

Renee An felt that she had slowly walked into his trap!

"No, you wouldn't know her!"

"I know that you will always get nervous whenever you lie!"

Renee An, "……"

"More than ten years…" As Jerry Kuang thought about that, he examined Renee An's expression

closely. She was showing great nervousness and kept diverting her attention by drinking coffee.

"Both of us knew about her and we couldn't say…" At that time, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, "Could

it be…" When the words came to his mind, he was shocked. The man simply looked at Renee An with

widened eyes.

Renee An lifted her coffee again to hide her nervousness, "Stop making wild guesses!"

The more she said that, the more Jerry Kuang was assured by his answer.

More than ten years, it could only be her…

The man finally understood why Renee An couldn't accept it.

"Does Alistair know about that?" Jerry Kuang asked.

Renee An almost choke on her coffee. She hadn't expected Jerry Kuang to get the right guess at first

try.

If she were to continue to deny it, it would be just tasteless.

In the end, she nodded slowly.

Jerry Kuang was just shocked.

"And he didn't completely destroy him?"

Renee An, "……"

"Actually, she isn't the real daughter of the Xia family!" Renee An said softly.

Jerry Kuang changed his sitting position. It was beyond the man's wildest dream that he could gather

such a bomb drop by inviting his cousin out.

Regrettably, he couldn't spread the news. Otherwise, Alistair would deface him!

"Umm, Alistair knew?" Jerry Kuang asked.

"I think so." Renee An said. She didn't get a word of confirmation from him but her intuition told her that

he knew.

Jerry Kuang massaged his forehead. He hadn't expected such a complicated situation.

How bizarre.

"Therefore, you couldn't accept?" Jerry Kuang asked.

Renee An nodded, "I didn't know how to face them. If you want me to pretend nothing happened and

treat them as how I did back then, I don't think I could do it!"

At that moment, since the cousin knew the truth, Renee An shared her burden with him.

Even if it was simply embarrassing.

She was helpless and there was just nothing she could do.

The woman wanted to know what Ralphy was thinking.

Jerry Kuang looked at her, "Can I ask you a question?"

"What is it?" Renee An looked back at him and asked.

"Do you feel glad that Annabelle isn't the daughter of the Xia family? Or do you feel regretful?" Jerry

Kuang asked.

Renee An was stunned.

She had never pondered about that question at all.

If Annabelle was the real daughter of the Xia family, she just couldn't stomach it!

After all, that was just…

Renee An shook her head, "I don't know!"

"Actually, men and women are vastly different. Woman are generally emotional and men, rational.

Although I don't know much about Ralphy, I believe he isn't someone irrational. I am just glad that

Annabelle isn't the real daughter of the Xia family. If that was the case, you should grieve…" Jerry

Kuang said. He was able to understand Renee An's situation right away.

If that was the case, Renee An and Ralphy only have one fated ending.

To be separated.

Renee An didn't quite grasp it. However, no matter what Jerry Kuang said or how he tried to spin things

around, she just couldn't let go.

The woman lowered her face and stared in her coffee in deep ponder…

Jerry Kuang didn't say anything as well. There was nothing others could do and she needed to get

through it herself…

After that, life went back to normal.

Renee An and Ralphy's life had none whatsoever intersection. They didn't even make a call to each

other.

Ralphy continued to go to work while Renee An stayed at home.

The woman had been thinking about all kinds of ways to solve the issue.

She hadn't been going online for the past few days.

One day, Renee An took out her phone and logged in her Blog account. Many things had happened for

the past few days.

There were all kinds of celebrity news and scandal stories from some wealthy families.

The moment Renee An saw the news, she had an idea…

She stared emptily at her monitor for a long time.

The next day.

There was news that caused an uproar in A city.

It was such a shock that everyone was talking about it.

The rich people's life are just complicated.

As Zen read the newspaper, he had a grim expression. Annabelle and Alistair sat on the dining table

and didn't know what to say.

After a long while, Annabelle said, "What the news said is real!"

The woman admitted.

Actually, all of them knew about that already, especially Zen. However, Annabelle didn't know that they

knew.

There was a moment of silence in the living room.

After sometime, the grandmother said, "It doesn't matter if you are the real daughter of the Xia family or

not, now you are one of our Mu family!"

Annabelle hadn't thought that they would be so understanding and she smiled gratefully, "Grandma,

dad, mom, sorry. I shouldn't have kept it a secret!"

"You silly girl, there is no need for apology. I married you, Annabelle, not your identity as the daughter

of the Xia family!" Alistair said.

The man had no problem proving that. After all, he had tried everything he could to pull out from the

political marriage with Xia family. Annabelle trusted him.

She nodded with a smile.

Zen said, "The reporters must be waiting outside the company. Annabelle, why not you take the day

off?"

Annabelle pondered for a while and said, "Hiding wouldn't be able to solve anything and that would

only make things worse. I do not wish to hide. Moreover, I believe that the reporters are swarming in

my house already. Let me talk to them and see how I can solve it!" Annabelle said.

Annabelle would never hide when problem arises. She knew that the best way to solve most of the

problem was to tackle it head on.

"That is exactly right! Annabelle, you are just like one of us already!" The grandmother cheered.

Annabelle simply chuckled. She knew that was the best solution.

At that time, Alistair looked at Annabelle and held her hand, "You simply need to remember now that

you are Mrs. Mu!"

Annabelle looked at Alistair and nodded, "Okay!"

After breakfast, they went to the company. Their guess was spot on. The moment they reached the

company, the place was just thronged.

Alistair took a glance outside and spoke, "Go straight to the car park!"

After the driver heard that, he nodded and drove towards the parking.

Unfortunately, the parking was also thronged with reporters.

The news was just too much of a deal and they were desperate to get the first-hand news.

"President Mu, what should we do?" The driver asked.

Annabelle sat behind the car and her lips curled up, "It seemed that they came prepared!"

Alistair tilted his head and glanced at Annabelle. His wife has a stronger presence and aura now, all

thanks to his influence!

Not bad!

"Drive to the company's main entrance. Since the reporters are everywhere, I want to walk in the

company through the main door!" Annabelle said.

The driver took a look at Alistair. Since the boss didn't say anything, he followed her instruction and

drove to the entrance.

When the reporters saw Alistair's car, they gathered around.

When the security guards noticed Alistair's car, they hurried forward and cleared a space as well.

When they parked the car, Alistair helped Annabelle down.

The reporters swarmed forward right away. It was fortunate that Alistair had a team of security guards

keeping them from getting too close.

"Miss Xia, can you please explain about the report in the newspaper? You aren't the real daughter of

the Xia family but you were adopted?"

"Miss Xia, we heard that you have twenty percent of the shares of Xia Group, is that true?"

"Are you the daughter of the Xia family?"

When the reporters saw that Annabelle wasn't answering, they looked at Alistair, "President Mu, do you

mind to clarify it?"

"Will your relationship change because of her identity?"

Originally, Alistair had no interest to entertain those reporters. But the moment he heard that, he glared

at the one that asked the question.

At that moment, the reporters that asked the question was stunned and he shut up immediately.

"I love her and that has nothing to do with her identity. It doesn't matter if she is the daughter of the

president or a criminal, I will love her the same!" He looked at the reporter and enunciated.

Annabelle hadn't expected Alistair to entertain the reporters.

When the reporters saw that he was willing to answer, they immediately reacted and continued to ask

questions.

"Then may we ask if the share prices of the Xia Group and Yun Rui would drop because of her

identity?"

Alistair simply ignored the rest of the questions.

"Miss Xia, please answer us!"

Annabelle ignored them as well and she followed Alistair into the company.

When the reporters didn't get the answer to their questions, they didn't give up and continued to camp

outside the door.

After getting inside, Annabelle did not go to the design department and she simply followed Alistair into

his office.

If she were to go to the design department, she would have to entertain those gossiping colleagues. It

was better to just go to Alistair's office.

Once they reached upstairs, Alistair gave his instruction, "Get the PR department to handle that!"

The secretary nodded right away, "Okay, got it!"

And she left her desk right away.

Although Alistair didn't care about Annabelle's identity, he didn't want to give others any chance to her

Annabelle.

After working inside, Alistair removed his jacket and took up his phone. He searched for his contact and

made a call.

"Hello…"

The other party answered with a drowsy voice.

"Jerry Kuang, don't tell me you are still sleeping!"

"You are right! I was in Rome last night. What's wrong? Anything the matter?"

Alistair, "…"

No wonder.

"That means you haven't seen the news today?" Alistair asked.

"I haven't even wake up, how can I read it?" Jerry Kuang said. The man noticed that Alistair's tone was

abnormal and he asked back, "What's the matter? You got into the headlines again?"

However, that shouldn't be anything of concern. It happens all the time!

When Alistair heard that, he was speechless.

"Get up and check it out first!" After saying that, the man simply ended the call.

Although Jerry Kuang was in Rome, he could feel the chilling presence of Alistair all the way from A

city. The man got up right away.

After that, he realized that he was in Rome and he had no means to check on the newspaper of the A

city!

He took up his phone and called his assistant.

After hearing the report, the man was completely woken up.

No wonder Alistair was infuriated, so that happened!

Annabelle looked at Alistair, "Why are you calling Jerry?"

"If not, who should I call?"

"What did he say?"

"He is in Rome!"

Annabelle, "…"

No wonder the man looked frustrated.

The woman nodded, "It seemed that it is fated for us to disclose this matter!"

If Jerry Kuang was around, he would be able to cover up the news. Now that he happened to be

travelling, it was just fate.

There are no permanent secrets in this world.

At that time, Alistair looked at Annabelle with a solemn gaze, "I believe we can be the master of our

own fate!"Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
