Chapter 646 Dependent
After they were done, the couple hugged together and enjoyed each other's warmth.
Annabelle leaned on him and felt his strong heartbeat.
She didn't need to say anything and simply enjoyed his presence next to her.
Alistair was contended as well. He looked at Annabelle and said, "Miss Xia, how nice it would be if you
could continue to be so proactive in the future!"
When Annabelle heard that, she gave him an eye roll.
Alistair smiled and hugged her tightly.
At that time, Annabelle recalled something all of a sudden. She grabbed Alistair's arm and looked at his
watch. After that, she raised her head and looked at him, "Didn't you say this thing can receive signal
no matter where? Why did it fail?"
Alistair looked at his watch and said, "At that time, the plane was forced to an emergency landing.
Although it was brought to a stop, too many people were injured. I damaged it when I was trying to
save others!"
When Annabelle heard that, she hugged Alistair, "I heard that your project in Singapore got into trouble
and I wanted to go look for you. But after that I heard of the accident of the plane. At that time, I
stupidly thought that you were still in Singapore. It was until after Jack came back that I learnt of the
truth!"
When Alistair heard that, he tilted his head and kissed Annabelle's forehead, "I heard everything you
did for me. Annabelle, thank you!"
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for taking care of grandma for me, protecting them from the truth while I was gone. And
thank you for defending the company for me!" Alistair said.
Annabelle's lips curled up and she looked at him, "Mr. Mu, when did you secretly transferred fifty
percent shares under my name?"
"Hmm, the day I propose to you!"
"Why didn't I know about that?"
"Don't you know it now?"
"You should have given me twenty percent! Then I wouldn't need to struggle in the fight with director
Lee!"
Alistair's lips curled up, "Don't you have more shares than me now, president Xia?" Alistair chuckled.
Annabelle laughed, "If it weren't for your father, the company might belong to someone else already!"
Annabelle replied.
When Alistair heard that, his lips curled up and his eyes were gleaming in a cold chill, "If they want to
swallow my company, they must make sure they have that appetite…"
Annabelle looked at him and stretched out her hand to hug him.
When Alistair felt her strength, he lowered his gaze and saw that she had shut her eyes.
"Tired already? Sleepy?"
Annabelle nodded while keeping her eyes closed, "Yeah, I'm so sleepy…"
Alistair kissed her gently and said, "Okay, it's late already. Just sleep!"
"Okay!"
After the lights went out, Annabelle fell asleep almost instantaneously. However, she did not loosen her
hug on Alistair's hand.
Alistair hugged her back as well. After so many days of hassle, he could finally get a good rest.
The next day.
Alistair woke up early in the morning. When he woke up, Annabelle was still in deep sleep. Although he
didn't know what happened for the past few days, he was sure that all these while when he was
missing, she wouldn't be able to sleep in the night.
The man was the same. He knew that she would be worried about him and he couldn't fall asleep as
well.
He moved closer and kissed her forehead gently. After that, Alistair got up.
He changed and walked out the door.
Right after he opened the door, he saw the door to the other room was opened and Nancy came out.
"Morning, Alistair!" Nancy looked at him and greeted.
"You sure wake up early!" Alistair smiled.
Nancy smiled and she was vibrant in youth, "I am used to sleeping and waking up early!"
Alistair smiled, "Let's go get breakfast!"
Nancy nodded and wanted to walk down. After that, she recalled something, "By the way, daddy asked
you to call him back. It seems to me that he has something to discuss with you. But it was late last
night and I didn't disturb you!"
When Alistair heard that, he nodded, "Okay, got it!"
And they walked downstairs.
Auntie Li had already prepared breakfast.
Nancy and Alistair sat there and ate their breakfast.
"Are you going to the company later?" When Nancy was eating, she looked at him and asked.
Alistair took up the newspaper and read it casually. When he heard her, he nodded, "Yeah!"
"Then can I follow you?" Nancy asked.
Alistair looked at her and asked, "What are you doing in the company?"
"I didn't know anyone here at all. Do you want me to just sit at home?"
"If you are bored, just play some games or surf the Internet!"
Nancy pouted her lips and said, "All right then!"
"When are you going back?"
"What now, are you chasing me away?"
"Of course not! You can stay here for as long as you want!"
"That's more like it. That's how you should treat your life savior!" Nancy chuckled.
When Annabelle woke up and saw that the man wasn't lying next to her, she frowned. After that, she
got up and changed. Right after she walked out the door, she saw the two persons eating breakfast.
Right before she said anything, she saw Alistair bringing Nancy a glass of drink and she accepted it
happily, "That's more like it!" As she said that, she drank it with a sweet smile.
Probably Annabelle was just too sensitive or what, she just felt that their relationship wasn't as simple
as she saved Alistair.
She didn't know how long she had been standing in thoughts. It was when auntie Li spoke that she was
brought back to her senses.
"Young lady, you are up!"
When Alistair and Nancy heard auntie Li's voice, they looked up to the stairs.
Annabelle nodded with a smile and walked downstairs.
"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Alistair stretched out his hand to her and Annabelle held him
naturally.
"I've slept enough!"
"Let's eat!"
"Okay!" Annabelle sat beside him naturally.
Nancy looked at her and smiled, "Miss Xia, you look much better than yesterday!"
Annabelle looked at Nancy and smiled, "I have been sleeping well last night. That was probably the
reason!"
At that time, auntie Li brought breakfast and put it in front of Annabelle, "Young lady, you looked like
you lost so much weight!"
Annabelle smiled, "Without auntie Li's breakfast, it is just understandable that I am losing weight!"
Auntie Li chuckled. Annabelle was always so humble and sweet. She just couldn't not like her.
"Then I'll make it for you every day!"
"Okay!" Annabelle smiled heartily.
Auntie Li smiled and went into the kitchen to work.
Alistair looked at her and his absolutely stunning face was showing a rare gentleness, "Go take a rest
after finishing your breakfast!"
"Why? Feeling guilty that I'm losing weight?"
"I can't be having people mocking me that my woman lost weight!"
"Then you should compensate me properly!"
Alistair looked at her and grinned salaciously. He even raised his eyebrows naughtily, "Don't worry, I will This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
make sure to compensate you properly!"
Annabelle looked at him and smiled. Due to Nancy's presence, they didn't say further and changed the
topic, "I'll go to the company with you later, I want to see how you are cleaning up the mess!"
Annabelle was the one that understood him best.
"Okay!" Alistair nodded with a smile.
Annabelle smiled too and continued to eat her breakfast.
As Nancy looked at them from the side, she didn't understand what they were talking about. There was
just no room for her to butt in their conversation. In the end, she blinked her eyes and asked, "What are
you guys talking about?"
Alistair averted his gaze and looked at her, "Kids wouldn't understand and they shouldn't ask so many
questions!"
Nancy pouted her lips in vex. But she didn't complain.
Annabelle smiled as well when she was eating breakfast.
After breakfast, Annabelle and Alistair took the same ride to the company. Nancy wanted to follow but
Alistair rejected her. She did not press on.
When she saw that they left, she started to think about what she should do.
Their car reached the company sometime later.
The moment they reached, Jack was already waiting downstairs.
Now that the company just elected a new president, Alistair came back. That was just a shocking news
and Annabelle's prediction was right.
When Alistair and Annabelle got down the car, Jack hurried over, "Sir, Miss Xia, they are waiting!"
Alistair's lips curled up. He tidied his shirt and strode inside.
His pace was steady and his poster was straight. All the workers stood by their two sides. When they
saw Alistair coming back, they greeted him uniformly, "President Mu!"
Annabelle followed closely beside him and walked into the company with him.
When Alistair went inside, all of the workers gathered around him, "I thank everyone that kept the
company running when I wasn't around. Don't worry, I will make sure to give rewards and punishments
accordingly!" Alistair said.
At that time, someone cheered, "President Mu, welcome home!"
Everyone clapped and cheered.
Alistair smiled mysteriously. He turned his head back and looked at Jack, "Summon all the board of
directors. We will have a meeting half an hour later. Those that come late or absent will be
automatically treated as withdrawing from the board and surrendering their shares!"
"Got it!"
After saying that, Alistair walked to the lift.
At that time, no one dared to follow him aside from Annabelle.
In the lift, Annabelle looked at Alistair and said, "I think I don't even need to give you a detailed report
and you knew everything!"
When Alistair heard that, he smiled, "I can tolerate and bear with their lazy asses that do nothing and
take bonuses. But that doesn't mean I can tolerate them coveting my possessions!"
Annabelle smiled. That was expected of the man, Alistair!
"By the way, I still have ten percent shares. I want to return…"
"There's no need, dad will not take it back. Since he had given it to you, that wasn't just for you to keep
company for me, it was also his trust towards you!"
"But…"
Alistair smiled, "President Xia, now that you have more shares than me, you are the rightful president
of Yun Rui. I think from now on I will just relax and depend on you!" Alistair said.
Annabelle chuckled, "Then you would need to work hard to get on my good side!"
"I'll do whatever you need!"
When they were chatting happily, the lift door opened with a *Ding*. And Annabelle and Alistair walked
out.
Twenty-five minutes later, nineteen directors were present. And of course, the one that was absent was
director Lee.
Alistair sat on the chairman's seat. He was tapping on the desk rhythmically. Annabelle sat on the first
seat to his left. The nervous and tensed atmosphere made them frightful yet expectant towards the
thirtieth minute.
Jack stood behind Alistair and they watched as the time in the wall clock ticked.
Nobody said anything and there was still a minute left.
Finally, the last minute passed and Alistair's lips curled up, "It seems that director Lee had voluntarily
withdrawn himself!"
"Who said that?!"
Right after Alistair said that, the door was opened and director Lee came out.
The man had a fat body and round stomach. He looked exactly like the type of greedy villains in TV
dramas that extort and demand for more!
When director Lee walked inside, he looked at Alistair, "It was pretty jam on my way here. Pardon me,
I'm late!" But he didn't look apologetic at all!
Alistair smiled scornfully and looked at director Lee, "Director Lee, even when you're jammed in traffic,
the time you took to reach here was so close!"
"What other choice do I have? That was such a last-minute notification and I needed time to rush over
here!" Director Lee was saying that he wasn't at fault but Alistair. He was the one that organized such a
last-minute meeting.
When Alistair saw his attitude, he sneered.
Director Lee simply walked towards his seat.
"Everyone could make it except for director Lee. I don't know if that was on purpose or his bad time
management. Fortunately, the company didn't fall to his hands!" Alistair said blatantly.
Director Lee turned his face and stared at Alistair. However, there was nothing he could say.
The man was saying that to humiliate him.
"Hmph!"
Director Lee harrumphed and turned his head away.
"I said, whoever that came later than thirty minutes or absent will be automatically assumed to
withdraw themselves from the board!"
"What do you mean? Are you removing me by force?"
"You were the one that didn't obey the rules. You have no one but yourself to blame!"
"I think president Mu was just looking for a reason to kick me out. Don't you forget that I am the second
largest shareholder now!"
"So what? I will buy off your shares with a five percent higher price than market!"
"And I will just sell to you like that?"
"You can choose not to. However, I can make your shares worthless. Do you believe it?" Alistair looked
at him and enunciated.
"You!! Alistair, you are just treating me unjustly!"
Alistair's lips curled up, "Director Lee, how had you ever contributed to Yun Rui? You had simply
injected some capital in the early stage. But now I had already returned it by a few hundred folds. It is
okay that you aren't satisfied. Even getting the dividends without lifting a finger was fine with me. But
when I wasn't around, you embezzled the company's fund without authorization. You think I can put up
with that?"
Once Alistair said that, everyone else was stunned.
