My Killing President novel Chapter 50

She swaggered nearer to Ralphy and lowered her voice, “The truth is, the owner of that land is a family friend!”

So that was it! Yoi’s trump card!

Ralphy had heard what he needed to hear, and he reserved his words.

“I do not have any ill-intention towards Annabelle, nor am I asking you to put her in harm’s way. All I asked is for her to leave Yun Rui. Isn’t that better for both of us?!” Yoi began to lose her cool. Why won’t he agree?! She was willing to sacrifice whatever it took for the sake of Alistair!

Undeniably, Ralphy was enticed! He wanted the property so badly and even more so Annabelle to leave Alistair!

However, two years ago Annabelle was traded like merchandise for the sake of Xia Group. And for her family she chose valiantly to marry the Mu family. How can he, being her guardian angel once again use her this way for his own gain?

Ralphy was deeply perturbed. He sat quietly staring into space.

Yoi stood right beside patiently. Watching the man hesitate gave her confidence that he will eventually bite the hook. He just needed a little more push…

“Mr. Xia, this deal is generously sweet for you. Think about your career, your woman!”

Ralphy refocused his gaze at the sassy woman, “Miss Han, actually you’ve made a good deal for me. Just like you, I sincerely hope Annabelle would leave Yun Rui. I’ve tried to talk to her but she rejected me. Nonetheless, I’ll stand by her and respect her every choice,” he looked up at her and the veil of gloom was lifted in his eyes. Yoi noticed that he had the same serene eyes as Annabelle.

“As for the property you mentioned, I will definitely invest the best of my effort. If it turned out to be a let-down, I’ll live with it.” Ralphy smiled light-heartedly.

Joy quickly faded from Yoi’s face and she fretted with a deep frown, “She refused?!”

“She can best execute her expertise in Yun Rui. So if she wishes to stay, I respect that.”

“Aren’t you afraid that she might have a change of heart!?”

Ralphy jolted from his chair, will she get infatuated with Alistair?

If she’s attracted to him, wouldn’t she had dived in two years ago?

And they wouldn’t end up divorcing.

However, nothing is impossible!

Mu had shown zero interest in Annabelle two years ago. And now he could barely avert his attention from her!

Even Ralphy was timorous now…

Most importantly, Annabelle had a dogged tenacity. She wouldn’t listen to his advice.

Ralphy let out a helpless sigh, “Miss Han, to be frank I really wanted that land. But Annabelle’s freewill precedes it. And I too, have complete faith that Annabelle will absolutely not be interested in Alistair!”

If he can’t change her mind, then might as well support her unswervingly! Ralphy had closed the door to his golden ticket.

“Can you really not worry?!”

“If a problem is fixable, then there is no need to worry; if it’s otherwise, then there is no help in worrying. I trust her.” Ralphy orated.

Yoi’s eyes narrowed until there was a vertical wrinkle between her, “Mr. Xia, you are truly a self-possessed man!”

Ralphy responded with a nod and smile. He believed that was for the best.

“Then we shall wait and see, how long can you stay unmoved!” Yoi grabbed her bag and click-clack to the door, “Mr. Xia, thank you for your time. I hope you are right!” And she left the room.

“Miss Han you are welcome anytime! Miss J, please help to see her off!” Ralphy remained seated and showed no enthusiasm to entertain her further.

Once he was all alone again in his room, his face slowly gloomed...

What if Annabelle really falls for Alistair?
