Chapter 279 Priceless 1
She didn’t even realize that.
“Not gonna handle that!”
“What?” Annabelle thought she heard him wrongly.
“Everyone knew about this already. Even if we were to shut the news, we wouldn’t be able to shut the
public’s mouth!” Alistair said pragmatically.
“And we should just leave things be?” Annabelle asked.
“If not?”
“Then everyone will misunderstand!”
“If you’re innocent, why are you afraid of their misunderstanding? Moreover, the more you try to hide,
the more they would get interested!” Alistair said.
It was easy to say. Annabelle said, “President Mu, you are someone that lives under the spotlight. But I
do not wish to be someone famous around you. Otherwise I don’t even know what strikes me next!”
Although Annabelle’s words were an exaggeration, Alistair was tickled, “Are you really so fearful?” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Of course I am! I haven’t spent enough time in this world, not even thirty years!” Annabelle exclaimed.
The woman was frustrated but Alistair seemed to be in a cheery tone.
He even chuckled, “Don’t worry, I’m here and nothing will happen to you!”
“It is exactly because you are here that many things will happen to me!” Annabelle said.
“……”
“Then according to your opinion, what should we do?” Alistair asked.
“Organize a press conference!”
“Annabelle, do you think organizing a press conference is playing house?” Alistair answered in vex.
Why was the woman trying so hard to dismiss their relationship?
“I think the media would be happy to participate!” Annabelle said.
“……”
“We are you now?” Alistair asked.
“On the way home!”
“Annabelle, you skipped work and you dare to raise your voice at me!?”
“I had already applied for a leave with the HR department!”
“…Then let’s talk after you get back to the company.”
“All right then.” Annabelle answered.
Before they ended the call, Alistair recalled something and asked, “Why are you going back home?”
“Probably it’s because of the news today that my family asked me to go home.” Annabelle said.
When Alistair heard her, his eyes lit up, “How was it? Do you want me to follow along? I can help you to
explain the situation.”
“Thank you, president Mu. But I’m afraid your presence will deepen the misunderstanding!” Annabelle
rejected his offer.
Luckily Annabelle wasn’t physically in front of him, otherwise Alistair would be glaring furiously at her.
And so, they ended the call.
Annabelle stared at her phone and frowned. She remained quiet and waited for the car to reach the Xia
household.
The driver kept staring at her through the rear mirror, especially when he overheard her conversation.
Now that the driver had confirmed that she was the woman in the headline today, the woman that
would be marrying into the esteemed family.
When Annabelle saw how the driver kept stealing glances, she said, “Sir, please drive faster!”
“Oh, all right!” The driver answered while looking at her.
Annabelle had no other choice but to avert her face, looking outside the window…
It was fortunate that the driver didn’t say anything. It was only when Annabelle got down the car that he
asked, “Are you the woman that is marrying the Mu family?”
Annabelle was stunned. She paid and smiled at the man, “I think you got the wrong person!” After that,
she walked away directly.
The driver was a little puzzled. He stared at Annabelle’s back view and was simmering in thoughts…
Xia household.
Once Annabelle entered the house, she saw that all of her family members were present.
