Chapter 723 Twist
Chapter 723 Twist
Annabelle Xia saw the news as well.
Previously, she was in doubt. But as she saw that the Xia Group was targeted, she knew her suspicion
was right.
Alistair Mu had started his retaliation.
That was the thing Annabelle Xia dreaded the most but she needed to face.
Annabelle Xia looked at the news for a long time and she just didn't know what to say.
The grandmother and madam Mu weren't aware of what happened. But as they saw Annabelle Xia's
sorrowful mood, they said, "Why are all these happening lately…"
"Annabelle, don't get so worried. Everything will be fine!" The mother said.
Annabelle Xia forced a smile and shook her head, "I'm fine!"
"By the way, had Alistair been coming home late for the past few days?" The grandmother looked at
Annabelle Xia and asked.
Annabelle Xia nodded, "Yeah, pretty late!"
"Sigh, and we still don't know what happened!"
"Grandma, you don't have to worry. I believe Alistair can definitely handle it!" Annabelle Xia comforted
the grandmother.
"Yeah, mum. Let's just believe in Alistair. He can definitely do it!"
The grandmother nodded agreeably, "Yeah, after all, that brat had never let me down!" The moment the
grandmother said that, she was cheered. She had absolute faith and confidence with his grandson.
Yun Rui had no problem in solving their crisis, but the Xia Group…
Annabelle Xia didn't say anything and she was simply staring at the TV screen absentmindedly.
Annabelle Xia wanted to wait for Alistair Mu to come home in the night. But as she stayed up until two
o'clock in the midnight, Alistair Mu was still not home.
Annabelle Xia lied in the bed and she was sleepy. However, she tried her best to stay awake. In the
end, she didn't even realize how she fell asleep…
……
In the bar.
Alistair Mu drank glass after glass.
Jerry Kuang looked at him worriedly, "Do you plan to just drink like this all night long?"
"If you are my brother, just shut it and drink with me!"
Jerry Kuang shook his head. But the friend knew the reason behind and he simply accompanied him.
It was odd. Alistair Mu wanted to get drunk but no matter how much he drank, he just couldn't lose his
soberness for one bit…
Jerry Kuang simply accompanied him helplessly.
The man was so capable but his hands were tied. The man had burdened himself too heavily because
of Annabelle Xia.
Was love really so beautiful and pure? In Jerry Kuang's opinion, Love was poisonous in some sense.
The friend glanced at Alistair Mu compassionately and continued to drink…
Four o'clock in the midnight. The Mu house.
When Alistair Mu looked at Annabelle Xia's sleeping so soundly, he stretched out his hand and wanted
to caress her face. However, his hand stopped in mid air.
He looked at her lovingly. After a few seconds, he moved closer and kissed her lips gently…
The man got up and walked out the room.
After leaving the Mu House, the man was sober and refreshed. After getting changed, he looked fresh
and ready. The legendary man was back…
The next day.
A city had another huge news.
The ex-director of Yun Rui, director Lee was apprehended. The man was involved in incriminating the
company regarding the illegal raw materials. After he was caught, the matters were clarified and made
known to public.
The tax fraud case was solved as well.
Both of the legal cases were completely solved in one day. That pushed Yun Rui to a new height and to
the front cover of every magazine. With that, the company crisis and reputation were solved and
restored. The share prices went back up again.
Even the TV station was reporting about that news.
All of the shareholders and the workers of Yun Rui were just elated.
If Yun Rui were to go down, they would be devastated as well. There were just no other companies that
made such good pay and offer.
Once the news were released, all of the workers were celebrating.
Even Jack was showing a cheerful smile all over his face. The man was reporting to Alistair Mu in his
office.
"President Mu, the share prices had went back up and it is reaching a new height! The court case was
withdrawn from the persecution and all of our counters had resumed business!"
Alistair Mu didn't show much of an emotion. The man lowered his head and looked at his phone quietly.
All of those was under his control and plan.
"By the way, I have another good news…" Jack looked at Alistair Mu but he was hesitant.
Alistair Mu raised his head and looked at him.
Jack caught on and continued, "CS wish to work with us for the previous project!"
"CS?"
Jack nodded.
Alistair Mu harrumphed, "Tell them we need to consider!"
Jack knew that this is a time for his president to show his muscles now!
Now the decision fell on Yun Rui. Previously, CS hadn't been honoring their words, they simply decide Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
whimsically, all by themselves whether they want to work together or not.
When Jack heard that, his lips curled up, "Got it!"
"Then, what about this document?" Jack raised his hand and asked Alistair Mu.
When Alistair Mu heard that, he was stunned for a little while and the man looked at the document in
Jack's hand as well.
"Are we really submitting this?" Jack asked carefully.
Alistair Mu contemplated for a while and stretched out his hand, "Just leave it to me first!"
Jack nodded and walked over to pass the document to Alistair Mu.
However, the assistant observed that even after Yun Rui went back to business, Alistair Mu was not
showing any sign of joy.
Jack knew the reason and he was just pained to see his boss being placed in a tight spot.
"President Mu, you don't have to think too much. You are not the one at fault. Miss Xia will be able to
understand that!" Jack said.
Alistair Mu was browsing his phone. When he heard what Jack said, his emotionless face tensed up a
little. A few seconds later, he said, "You can get out first!"
Jack still wanted to say something. But after hearing that from Alistair Mu, all his words were stuck in
his throat. The man nodded and excused himself.
Yun Rui was doing great, even better than before. But on the other side, the Xia Group had suffered a
deadly blow. The share prices plummeted heavily and all of the business operation stopped.
In comparison, the feat Alistair Mu managed to pull off made him a legend again.
Ralphy Xia would drink himself to drunkenness every day. One afternoon, he was brought away by the
authorities again.
After director Lee was interrogated, he gave his name away.
After Waynie Xu heard what happened, she was overcome with emotion and fainted.
Teneria Xia was guarding by Waynie Xu's side and he tried everything he could to bail his son out.
However, this time round, the man wasn't allowed to be bailed.
It seemed that Ralphy Xia had gotten himself a one-way ticket to jail.
In the hospital.
Waynie Xu hugged Teneria Xia as she wailed, "What should we do, we only have one son! Do we
really see him get in the jail like this?"
"Teneria Xia, please think of something and save our son!"
When Ralphy Xia looked at how sorrowful his wife was, he was powerless and in anguish.
"He was the one that did something so horrible. He deserved every part of it!" The father was in
remorse.
Waynie Xu continued to cry. All of a sudden, she recalled something, "Let me go beg Alistair Mu. As
long as he is willing to let Ralphy go, he would be fine!" After saying that, Waynie Xu moved her blanket
away and wanted to get down the bed.
"Weiyin, calm down first. If you go like this, you wouldn't be able to even meet him!" Teneria Xia
stopped her.
"Then what should we do? Do we really see our son getting jailed? He might serve a sentence longer
than ten years and he would be wasting his most precious time inside!" Waynie Xu was completely
overwhelmed with emotion.
When Teneria Xia heard that, he had a grim expression as well. The father knew it all better.
The man was aware of the gravity of the situation.
But...
"What are you hesitating about? Do you want to see our son getting jailed!?" Waynie Xu was always an
elegant and gentle woman. But now the woman was just wailing and covered in tears and snot. She
was just desperate to get his son back.
"Do you think I want this to happen? No matter how I tried to contact Yun Rui, I was unable to get ahold
of Alistair Mu. He was evading us on purpose!" Teneria Xia said.
Waynie Xu broke into tears. The woman just didn't know what to do and she rested all of her hope on
Teneria Xia, "Then? What should we do?!"
Teneria Xia simply sighed, "For now, just focus on getting your health back. I will think of something!"
Waynie Xu grabbed Teneria Xia's arm tightly, "You must make sure to save Ralphy!"
Teneria Xia nodded.
That night, Waynie Xu was discharged.
After Annabelle Xia heard the news, she rushed home right away.
Teneria Xia was making calls in the living room, trying everything he could do bail Ralphy Xia out. At
that time, Annabelle Xia entered the house, "Dad, where is mum?"
When Teneria Xia saw Annabelle Xia, he was stunned and he said, "In her room!"
"How is she? Is she all right?"
"She is fine. The doctor said she was simply too emotional!"
"Let me go check on her!"
Teneria Xia nodded and Annabelle Xia went straight upstairs.
Waynie Xu was lying in bed and the mother seemed as if she had aged a lot. Her eyes were red and
swollen, it was obvious that she had been crying.
When Annabelle Xia entered and saw that, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
"Mum…" Annabelle Xia went over and sat beside Waynie Xu, "Mum, are you all right?"
The moment Waynie Xu saw Annabelle Xia, her tears broke out again, "Annabelle…" She sobbed and
leaned on Annabelle Xia.
"Mum…" Annabelle Xia didn't know how to comfort the mother. She simply hugged her and tapped on
her back gently.
"If anything happens to your brother, I do not wish to live anymore!"
"Mum, please don't say that. Brother will be fine!" Annabelle Xia comforted her. The woman just didn't
know what to do except coaxing her mother.
Right after Waynie Xu heard that, she raised her head, "Now that the evidences are sufficient and your
brother is apprehended. Once the police processes that, he would be convicted…"
Then, what do you expect from me?
