My Killing President

Chapter 716 Accusation

Few minutes later.

The director of the design department appeared in the office.

It was a man about his thirties and he had the most ordinary look, tall and slim. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Annabelle Xia wasn't familiar with this new director of design. The man just got promoted not long ago.

Although Annabelle Xia had been going to the company lately, her working time wasn't fixed and she

didn't have much of an acquaintance with the new director.

Annabelle Xia sat behind Alistair Mu's desk and she had the director's information from the HR.

"Miss Xia, may I know why are you looking for me?" Director Lee looked at Annabelle Xia and asked.

Annabelle Xia sat there and she wasn't in a hurry to speak. The woman simply stared at him.

Lee Yi stood there for some time. The man thought that Annabelle Xia would have a short conversation

with him and let him go after that. But it was unexpected that she didn't say anything at all, nor asking

him any question. The woman simply sat there and stared at him. She was staring so intently for so

long and that made the man nervous…

"Miss Xia…" Lee Yi called again, "May I know what is the reason you asked for me?"

Annabelle Xia looked at him sternly, "Are you really unaware of the reason I look for you?"

Lee Yi shook his head.

"Something so serious happened to the company. Did you know?" Annabelle Xia asked and her tone

was cold. Her exquisite face was exuding a cold chill.

Lee Yi looked at Annabelle Xia nervously, "I… I know, I am also worried that something like that

happened to the company…"

"Really?" Annabelle Xia raised an eyebrow lazily. Her expression was very similar to that of Alistair Mu.

Really?

Lee Yi looked at Annabelle Xia and he felt that she was hinting something. The man swallowed a gulp

nervously but he nodded assuredly, "Yes!"

At that time, Annabelle Xia looked at the documents in front of her. She picked it up and flipped it

around, "Director Lee, what do you think of your job in Yun Rui? Was it good?" Annabelle Xia asked

lazily in a light tone.

"Good, pretty good."

"Yun Rui is offering the highest pay amongst all of the jewelry companies. You are able to rise to this

position at your age and you have unlimited potential…"

"I, I know. I'm very thankful that president Mu showed such favor!"

"I must tell you that if Yun Rui were to fire anyone, I believe no other company will take him!" Annabelle

Xia continued.

Annabelle Xia said casually and her words seemed to be random. But as director Lee heard that, he

felt more and more unease.

"Miss Xia, did you look for me just to tell me this?" Lee Yi asked his question and interrupted her,

stopping the woman from intimidating him.

Annabelle Xia had pretty much said what was necessary. After that, it was time to go straight to the

point, "If that's the case, let me be frank!"

She looked at Lee Yi and said, "The jewelry with radiation was found in the store. Do you know about

it?"

"Yes, I am aware!"

"You and president Mu were the only ones that had the key to the store. Do you have any explanation

on that?"

"I, I am not sure either… Maybe it was placed inside before this!" Lee Yi said.

"Before this…?"

"Miss Xia, are you suspecting me?" Lee Yi was riled. If Annabelle Xia were to continue her act, he

might just go crazy.

"Now that something like this happened to the company, do you think I shouldn't do that?" Annabelle

Xia asked nonchalantly.

All of a sudden, Lee Yi was rendered speechless. He looked at Annabelle Xia and didn't know what to

say.

At that time, he drew out the keys to the store and put it on the desk, "Miss Xia, if you don't believe me,

then I can just resign!"

"Resign?" Annabelle Xia smiled, "Director Lee, isn't it even more suspicious if you resign now?"

Lee Yi's expression changed and he froze. The man didn't know what to do.

"I will not approve your resignation. But I can give you a few days leave!"

"Thank you, Miss Xia!"

"You may go out now!"

Lee Yi nodded hurriedly and went out.

Right after he went out, Jack came inside, "Miss Xia, I just got updated that president Mu can be

bailed!"

When Annabelle Xia heard that, her lips curled up, "When?"

"One hour later!"

"Let's go pick him up!"

"Okay!"

Annabelle Xia stood up and walked out the office right away.

The moment she got inside the car, she recalled something all of a sudden, "Jack…"

"Miss Xia, yes?" Jack asked.

"Help me to investigate about that Lee Yi, I want a very detailed profile!"

"Lee Yi? The director of the design department?"

Annabelle Xia nodded. Jack did not ask further and simply nodded, "Got it, I know what to do!"

Annabelle Xia recalled something and she took out her phone and typed a text message. After sending

it, she was more restful.

Jack glanced at Annabelle Xia through the rearview mirror and he drove slowly…

……

The Xia Group.

Ralphy Xia sat on his seat in his office. As he watched the news from his monitor, his gorgeous face

had a mirthful expression.

Alistair Mu, serves you right!

What you did to me was far more!!

As he saw the man getting cuffed and brought inside the police car, his lips curled up.

At that time, the door to his office was knocked. Ralphy Xia turned off the TV and said, "Come in!"

The assistant walked inside and looked at him, "The person in charge of CS is on the line!"

Ralphy Xia smirked, "Got it!"

After the assistant reported, he excused himself. Ralphy Xia simply took up his phone on the desk and

put it on his ear, "Hello, Mr. Frieda…"

"Of course, I am most delighted to work with you…"

After hanging up the call, Ralphy Xia reclined lazily to his chair. The man was flipping about his phone

and his eyes were shrouded in a darkness…

……

After Jack and Annabelle Xia reached the police station, Alistair Mu and his lawyer came out from

inside.

"Alistair!" Annabelle Xia rushed forward the moment she saw him, "How was it? Are you all right?"

Alistair Mu shook his head and looked at the lawyers, "Okay, I will wait for your call!"

"Okay, I shall go back first!"

Alistair Mu nodded. After the two of them shook their hands, lawyer Lee left.

"How was it?" Annabelle Xia asked.

"The only option is to find the person that framed me and planted the evidence. Otherwise, I have no

way but to get falsely accused!" Alistair Mu said.

"Let's talk about this when we get back!"

Alistair Mu nodded and got in the car.

Jack drove them home.

"I have asked Jack to call grandma and mom, they should be fine!" Annabelle Xia said.

When Alistair Mu heard that, he nodded in approval and held Annabelle Xia's hand. The man's eyes

were gleaming in gentleness, "Thank you for the trouble!"

Annabelle Xia simply smiled, "Don't worry about it!"

"How is the company doing?" Alistair Mu asked.

At that time, before Annabelle Xia said anything, Jack reported, "According to Miss Xia's instruction, we

have gotten the PR department to make an official announcement, whoever bought Yun Rui's product

can have an unconditional refund. For now, we prioritize in giving the consumers confidence. Next, we

are in the process of engaging esteemed inspection companies to inspect our jewelries, the process

will be transparent and announced accordingly!"

When Alistair Mu heard that, his eyes lit up and he turned his head towards Annabelle Xia.

"What kind of look is that?"

"Darling, I noticed that you have a hidden talent for business!"

Annabelle Xia simply smiled while raising her chin, "Hmph, don't you forget that I have studied

business management as well. These are just the basics!"

"Really?" When Alistair Mu looked at Annabelle Xia's proud looked and moved closer, "It seemed like I

will be able to fully handover Yun Rui to you one day!"

"Handover to me? Then what about you?"

"Me? Of course I will be staying home and take care of the children and depend on you!" Alistair Mu

giggled.

When Annabelle Xia heard that, she broke into a laughter and gave him an eye roll.

Even after something so serious happened, the couple could still joke and fool around. It was highly

likely that the two of them were the only one in the world that could be so restful and fearless.

Jack looked at them through the rearview mirror and he was entertained as well. If it wasn't for the sake

that he had worked for Alistair Mu for some time already, he would feel that it was simply weird. But as

he spent a considerable amount of time with them, he got used to it…

The journey lasted more than half an hour before they reached the Mu House.

The moment they entered the door, the grandmother and Madam Mu came out to receive them.

"Alistair, how are you feeling? Are you all right?"

Alistair Mu simply gave them a restful smiled, "Grandma, mom, I'm fine. You don't have to worry!"

After saying that, he walked inside and sat in the living room, "What actually happened?"

"Grandma, mom, don't worry. And I will settle that. Just leave it to me!"

"I believe as long as you are innocent, justice will definitely prevail!" The grandmother said assuredly.

Madam Mu nodded as well, "Yeah, they will know the truth eventually!"

Alistair Mu simply smiled. Previously, the man would never mention work matters with his family and he

just didn't want them to worry and get troubled. But ever since he knew Annabelle Xia and spent time

with her, he knew the importance of family. And the man knew that he must let them in in his life, in

order to not let them worry.

"Mum, let me go take a shower and get changed first. Let's talk later!" Alistair Mu said.

"Okay, go on. I will get auntie Li to get you something to eat!"

Alistair Mu nodded and walked upstairs.

Annabelle Xia followed upstairs as well.

While Alistair Mu was showering, Annabelle Xia prepared his clothes. When he was done and came

out from the bathroom, he saw Annabelle Xia sitting on the bed and doing his laundry. The man walked

over barefooted.

"Done so fast?"

When Annabelle Xia heard his footsteps, she turned her head over. At that moment, Alistair Mu

pounced over all of a sudden and grabbed the back of her head. The man kissed her passionately and

indulgently…

Everything happened in just a second.

Annabelle Xia was surprised but she didn't push him away. The woman felt a warmth in her heart. After

a long while, Alistair Mu let her go reluctantly. The man rested his forehead on hers and stared lovingly

at her, "Sorry for making you worry…"

Annabelle Xia looked back at him and smiled heartily, "It's okay. I am thankful that I can still be by your

side…"

Alistair Mu hugged her.

The man dreaded to make her worry. However, he knew that Annabelle Xia was a strong willed

woman. She would never give up no matter how dire the situation was.

Annabelle Xia looked at him and said, "Okay now, Alistair. Hurry and get dressed and eat something.

You still have a lot of things to do!"

Alistair Mu nodded and let go of Annabelle Xia.

The moment Annabelle Xia glanced at him, her face blushed right away.

She hadn't expected the man to come out completely naked. Not only that, he was flaunting so openly!!

When Alistair Mu saw that Annabelle Xia's face turned red, he broke into a chuckle and ridiculed her,

"My dearest darling, why are you blushing so much!"

"I didn't!" Annabelle Xia denied and averted her gaze from him.

"No? But your face is just red…" When Alistair Mu stretched out his hand to tease her, Annabelle Xia

said suddenly, "I will wait for you downstairs!" After saying that, she hurried to the door.

Before she left, Alistair Mu still saw that her ears were completely red.

The man's lips curled up mirthfully…

After getting changed, Alistair Mu went downstairs.

An outfit is just a great accessory for anyone's appearance. The moment Alistair Mu came down in

fresh clothes, he was exuding an even stronger charm and air of awesomeness. The man was

brimming in confidence.

"Alistair, come here and eat!" The mother said.

Alistair Mu got downstairs right away and walked to the dining table.

"We still have a lot of things to do from now onwards. If your dad hadn't travel to Paris, he would

definitely be able to help you!" The mother said.

Alistair Mu raised his head and looked at her, "Mum, don't you have confidence in me?"

The man had founded a company from nothing and made it the prime in the industry in just two short

years. How could anyone not believe in his mind?

"Mum believes in you!"

Alistair Mu smiled confidently. The man felt invincible and nothing could stop him.

After eating, Alistair Mu wanted to go back to his company with Jack.

He looked at Annabelle Xia and instructed, "You should rest at home. I will go to the company now, wait

for my news!"

"Don't you need me to follow you?" Annabelle Xia asked.

"You have been exhausting yourself for the entire day. Just leave the rest to me!" Alistair Mu said.

Annabelle Xia nodded meekly, "Okay!"

Alistair Mu caressed her hair and smiled. After that, he left with Jack.

The moment he got into the car, Alistair Mu asked the assistant, "Is there anything odd happening in

the company?"

As Jack started the car, he recalled something and looked at Alistair Mu, "There is something indeed

…"

"What is it?"

"The CS project is postponed!" Jack knew how important that project was to Alistair Mu. When he was

saying that, he was carefully observing Alistair Mu's expression.

As Alistair Mu sat in the back seat, his gorgeous face was emanating a cold chill. The man had been

expecting this to happen. With Yun Rui taking such a huge blow, it was just highly probable for the CS

project to have changes.

He nodded, "Got it!"

Jack breathed a sigh of relief and drove to the company.

……

Under Annabelle Xia's management, the company workers were soothed. Now that Alistair Mu

returned, they were able to feel a much stronger sense of security.

However, there was still some variables in the company, the shareholders.

These group of people would even create troubles during the peaceful times. Now that the company

was in such crisis, they were just stirring more troubles.

With something so serious happening to the company, they continued to create a ruckus. Annabelle

Xia simply ignored them because it was just pointless and unproductive. The woman simply allowed

them to argue in the meeting room.

In the office.

Jack was filling in Alistair Mu with the company's update. After he was done with the report, the

president with grim face broke into a laughter.

That was just about Annabelle Xia's personality!

"If that's the case, just let them continue that in the meeting room!"

"Do we really leave them alone?"

"Just let them know whoever dares to create trouble for me will have to face the consequences!"

Jack nodded, "Okay, I understand!"

"By the way, how is the investigation with the prohibited raw materials?"

When Jack heard that, he changed into a serious demeanor, "Miss Xia had investigated about this

matter as well. She looked for the director of the design department, Lee Yi. And she asked me to

investigate this man thoroughly!"

Lee Yi?

When Alistair Mu heard that, his eyes narrowed.

"That box of gemstones were found in the storeroom. And only you and Lee Yi have the key to the

room. Hence, Miss Xia looked for him!" Jack explained.

Alistair Mu knew the reason Annabelle Xia suspected him, "Let me know once you are done with the

investigation!"

"Hmm, as for that jewelry, it was not recorded. We don't know when it was being placed inside!"

"What about the CCTV in the company?"

"It just happened that the CCTV outside the storeroom was broken!"

Alistair Mu's eyebrows furrowed deeply. So many coincidences altogether?

Alistair Mu knew that it just wasn't possible and he was in a deep ponder.

A short moment later, he looked at Jack and his deep gaze lit up, "Do something for me…"

Jack listened and nodded.

……

Many hours later.

Alistair Mu came home in the middle of the night.

Annabelle Xia was already asleep when he got in the bed. The woman could feel him but she was half

asleep.

"Are you back?"

"Yeah!"

"How was it?" Annabelle Xia tried hard to fight her sleepiness.

"Everything is in progress…" Alistair Mu hugged her.

"That's good…" Annabelle Xia mumbled. She wanted to wake up but due to her pregnancy, she was

just sleepy.

Alistair Mu stared at her face. Although it was so dark in the room, he seemed to be able to see her

face clearly.

The man's gaze was filled with conflicting emotions: worries, helplessness and even fear.

"Darling…" He hugged her and looked at her.

"Yes?"

"If one day, I were to do something… Not so good… Will, will you forgive me?" The man asked and

there was a sense of helplessness in his tone.
