Chapter 607
Alistair turned around slowly and looked at Belle. His eyes squinted slightly, "If you want to be greedy,
you must at least make sure you can swallow it!"
Belle looked at Alistair. The woman had been spending quite some years in the society and she had
met all kinds of people. Her intuition told her that the man in front of her was ten times more frightening
than Ralphy. Even a hundred times.
In the end, Bellepromised.
She had wanted to marry into the Xia family and she wouldn’t have to worry about life anymore. She
didn’t even need to work for money and she could take care of her brother easily. But she didn’t expect
that something like that will happen.
At that time, Alistair looked at her and said, "It is fine if you want five million, but I have one condition!"
"What is it?" Belle asked.
Therefore, Alistair’s lips curled up mysteriously.
After hearing Alistair’s n, Belle frowned.
"As long as you can do it, the five million will be transferred into your ount right away. This five
million isn’t a small amount, it is enough to cure your brother and livefortably after that!" Alistair
said.
His offer had moved Belle. That was exactly her concern.
She nodded in agreement, "Okay, deal!"
Alistair smiled. The man had expected this oue.
"Then I shall look forward to your good news. I hope that after everything seeded, you can leave
with the money. Do not ever let me see you creating rumors. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what will
happen to you!
"Are you asking me to leave this ce?"
"Do you think I can tolerate your existence? Do you think the Xia family will leave you alone? That is
your best choice!"
"Since I promised you that I wouldn’t say it, I will definitely honor my words. Why do you have to go that
far?" Belle looked at him and asked helplessly.
"Miss Belle, I don’t understand what you mean. You wouldn’t say what?" Alistair stared at her and
asked.
Belle was stunned.
As expected, Alistair wasn’t an ordinary man.
Alistair looked at her and smiled, "Miss Xia, I look forward to hear your good news!" After saying that,
Alistair ignored her and left.
"Jack, give her a one million cheque!"
"Yes, Sir!"
Jack looked at the woman in front of him. He passed her a cheque and turned around to leave.
Belle stood in her house empty mindedly. Her n was wiped out.

Not for herself but for her brother…
Alistair and Jack left the ce. After they got in the car, Alistair’s face was tensed, "Do not let anyone
know about this incident, including Annabelle!"
Jack nodded, "Yes, Sir!"
But…
Jack looked at his boss worriedly, "Is it really all right for us to do that?"
"Why, you have a different opinion now!?" Alistair red at him and asked back.
"No no, what I meant was, if Miss Xia finds out..."
"Can’t you just hide it from her?" Alistair said.
Jack nodded right away, "Oh, right, yes yes, got it!"
At that time, Alistair had an evil grin, "Ralphy, how dare you have impure thoughts towards my woman!"
Jack looked at his boss and nodded agreeably. As expected of his boss, cunning, ruthless… but cool!
"Drive!"
"Yes, sir!" Jack answered hurriedly and drove away.
For the entire day, Annabelle was pondering the same issue.
Should she tell Alistair about what happened?
But if she said that, ording to Alistair’s personality, he would surely overthink. But if she didn’t and
he happened to find out… He would be even more infuriated.
"What’s wrong? What are you thinking?" Alistair looked at Annabelle and asked.
When Annabelle heard that, she came back to her senses immediately, "Huh? What?"
"Your face is pale!" Alistair said and he asked, "Did anything happened?"
Annabelle contemted for a while and decided not to tell him first.
She smiled and shook her head, "It’s nothing!" After that, she stretched out her arms and hugged
Alistair.
Alistair wrapped his arms around her shoulder and hugged her back.
"Alistair, do you believe me?"
"Definitely!"
"Good then."
"Do you have anything to say?"
"I will tell you after I know how I should say it."
"Okay, I’ll wait for you!"
"Okay!"
The two lovers hugged together and enjoyed the night view in A city…
Although they said nothing about the secret, the chemistry between them remained cheery. It just felt a
little peculiar.
Both of them knew each other well.
But theycked a heart to heart talk.
The next day.
The news shocked A city.
The President of Xia group picking up a woman in the bar, after dumping her, said womanmitted
suicide!
When Annabelle saw the news, she was shocked.
She could easily see that the person in the picture was Belle!
However…
She had just met Belle the previous day. She didn’t seem to be sad at all. Why would shemitted
suicide and got herself admitted into the hospital?
Or… Did she do that just to get into the Xia family?
Annabelle frowned as she read the newspaper.
However, Alistair was enjoying his breakfast. It seemed as if he had known the news.
At that time, Annabelle’s phone rang. When she saw that it was Waynie calling, she answered right
away.
"Hello, mom…"
"Annabelle, are you free today? Come over to the hospital!" Waynie said.
"Hospital? What’s wrong? What happened?"
Waynie didn’t know how she should say it. "Let’s talk after youe!"
"Okay, I am on my way!"
Although the mother said nothing, Annabelle could take a guess. However, she didn’t know why they
were going to the hospital.
After hanging up the call, she looked at Alistair and said, "I need to go to the hospital!"
At that time, Alistair just finished his breakfast. He wiped his lips elegantly and said, "I will go with you."
"Huh?"
"I am not busy today in thepany. Let me go with you." Alistair said.
Annabelle didn’t think much and she nodded in agreement.
The two of them departed together.
Once they reached the hospital, they heard a loud wailing from inside the ward.
"Ralphy, you asshole!"
Once Annabelle and Alistair entered the ward, they saw that scene. Belle was sitting on the bed and
her wrist was wrapped up.
She cut her own wrist?
Annabelle raised her eyebrows. She didn’t think that Belle was the type of person that would cut her
wrist for Ralphy.
There were quite the crowd inside the ward, Teneria, Waynie and of course, Ralphy.
When Annabelle walked inside, Belle instinctively looked at Annabelle and Alistair, and she continued
to sob.
"Dad, mum!" Annabelle went over and greeted them.
"Annabelle, you’re finally here!" Waynie looked at her and then to Alistair behind her. She nodded to
greet him.
At that time, Belle continued to throw a tantrum.
Sheined about a lot of things. After Annabelle heard her, she frowned and looked at Belle. The
woman was obviously doing that on purpose.
Both Teneria and Waynie were kind hearted person. When they saw Belle behaving like that, they
In the end, Ralphy couldn’t hold back his anger anymore and he rushed forward and grabbed her arm.
The man’s face was like a thunderstorm, "Belle, enough!"
Belle was shocked. She looked at Ralphy’s enraged face and said, "I was simply telling the truth!"
"Come out with me!" After saying that, Ralphy didn’t care if she was really hurt or just pretending, he
dragged her outside.
"Ralphy…" Waynie called out from behind. But Annabelle stopped her.
"Mum, just let brother handle his own matters!" The reason Ralphy wanted to get Belle outside was
because he didn’t want to risk his family knowing too much.
Waynie looked at Annabelle and nodded. The mother couldn’t help but sighed, "Why would something
like this happen?"
"Mom, don’t worry, I believe brother can handle it!" Annabelleforted her.
In the end, there was just nothing Waynie could do and the mother nodded.
Outside.
Ralphy pulled Belle to a quiet ce and threw her on the ground.
"Belle, what are you trying to do?!" Ralphy asked coldly.
At that time, Belle changed an expression and looked at him, the woman’s lips curled up, "What now?
Are you afraid?"
"Let me warn you, you better don’t push it. Otherwise, don’t me me for what I will do!" Ralphy looked
at her and said menacingly. The man just wanted to strangle her to death.
When Belle heard that, she wasn’t afraid and she chuckled, "Are you threatening me now?"
"Be it a threat or a warning. If you dare to run your mouth, I guarantee that you will regret it!" Ralphy
said menacingly.
The man had never thought that things would turn out like that.
At that time, Belle looked at him and screamed, "It was you that forced me to it!"
"Belle, get lost now!" Ralphy roared.
At that time, there were several reporters that rushed towards them. The moment they saw Ralphy and
Belle together, they snapped pictures.
"President Xia, may we know if what the newspaper said today is true?"
"President Xia, do you mind to rify the situation?"
"President Xia, how do you n to handle this situation?"
They bombarded him with questions.
Ralphy frowned. Where did all these reporterse from? He red at Belle but the next moment,
Belle broke into tears, "Ralphy, if you don’t want to take responsibility, just forget it! I will no longer
trouble you with my problem!" After saying that, she looked at Ralphy with a broken-hearted
expression. Then, she turned around and ran away.
She said something suggestive and let the media’s imagination run wild.
When the reporters saw that Belle ran away, they surrounded Ralphy…
"President Xia, do you mind to rify the situation?"
"If you do that, aren’t you afraid that the Xia Group’s reputation and share prices will drop?"
"President Xia, can you…"
Ralphy stood amongst the crowd. His eyes were a cold and icy chill…
This woman!!!
At that time, Alistair came out from the ward and he saw Ralphy getting surrounded by the reporters.
He was in a good mood because he knew that the contents in the newspaper tomorrow would be
exciting!
As he thought about that, his lips curled up coldly.
That was the punishment for the man that dared to have impure thoughts towards his woman.
If it was some other man, not Annabelle’s brother, he might go even further.
However, something happened to everyone’s greatest surprise.
After Belle left, she disappeared without a trace.
The woman disappeared but she left a great deal of problems to Ralphy. The scandal between Ralphy
and hersted for a few days before finally subsiding.
Due to the incident, Ralphy lost a few contracts and suffered some lost in the share price.
The Xia family.
Teneria and Waynie sat on the couch. On the side was Ralphy and opposite them was Annabelle and
Alistair.
"How do you n to handle this situation?" Annabelle asked.
After something like that happened, Teneria didn’t scold him and the father gave him enough freedom
and dignity. But since thepany was affected, he had to ask the man.
Ralphy’s face turned grim and he said, "I will think of a way to handle this."
"Think of a way? Do you know that the board of directors are displeased? They might take this
opportunity to kick you out!" Teneria looked at him and fumed.
Ralphy had a pained expression. He raised his head and looked at Teneria, "Dad… I will make sure to
handle this situation."
There was nothing else Teneria could say.
He breathed a long sigh and turned his head around.
Waynie had favored Ralphy since he was a child. The mother had educated and scolded him all that
she could think of. Now she was just speechless.
At that time, Alistair spoke.
"Dad, in my opinion, why not we just suppress the news first?"
Once he said that, the crowd looked at him.
Teneria looked at him, "Suppress the news?"
Alistair nodded, "Now that the scandal is getting hyped up, if we don’t suppress this news, no matter
what we do, the board will definitely leverage on it!"
When Teneria heard that, he nodded in agreement.
"The president of Huayu Group happens to be my friend. I think if I were to speak to him about that, it
shouldn’t be much of a problem!" Alistair said.
When Teneria heard that, he looked at Alistair, "Are you sure?"
Alistair nodded, "Of course. Since Ralphy is Annabelle’s brother, he is also my brother. It is only right
for me to help him!"
Although all of them had their own ways to suppress the news, they don’t have the means to shut the
public up.
Annabelle nodded, "Then I shall thank you in advance, Alistair!"
Alistair smiled, "We are one family, don’t worry about it!"
At that time, Ralphy stared at Alistair.
Although the two men had never confronted each other, they both knew that they were opposition to
each other. But now Alistair was offering to help him…
Ralphy squinted his eyes…
"By the way, I heard that due to this incident, Dynasty Group dropped their contracts with you, is that
true?" Alistair asked.
Teneria knew that Alistair was good in business and so he didn’t hide it from him. The father nodded,
"Yeah!"
"Actually, I do have a good idea!"
"What is it?"
"The Dynasty Group was the nemesis of An Group, the twopanies had several disputes in the
past. If we could take this opportunity to board the ship An Group, it would turn into a good thing!"
"But with what happened now, will An Group work with us?" Teneria asked frowningly.
Alistair’s lips curled up, "Coincidentally, I happened to know the chairman of An Group…"
When they left the Xia house, it was already night time.
Annabelle looked at Alistair and squinted her eyes. She stared intently at Alistair and said, "Mr. Mu, are
you saving the Xia Group?"
"Why? You don’t like it?"
"Not that I don’t like it… but I feel that something was off!" Annabelle said.
Annabelle knew about Alistair’s rtionship with Ralphy. She had never said it but she was sure that
they didn’t like each other. But now that Alistair was helping Ralphy so proactively, could it be because
of her?
At that time, Alistair looked at her and his lips curled up. The man hugged Annabelle and said, "If it
helps the woman I love, what’s the trouble of doing all that?"
When Annabelle heard that, she smiled and didn’t ask anymore.
She pondered for a while and decided to tell Alistair something.
"Alistair…" She leaned on his chest.
"Hmm?"
"I wish to tell you something!" Annabelle said.
When Alistair heard that, he raised an eyebrow, "Have you made up your mind?"
Annabelle nodded.
"Okay, go ahead!"
"Actually… I wasn’t the real daughter of the Xia family." Annabelle said.
Although Alistair knew about it, the moment he heard it personally from Annabelle, he felt his chest
tightened.
He looked at Annabelle’s expression. The man didn’t feel much except for heavy-heartedness.
Annabelle frowned as she looked at him, "Mr. Mu, I do not see even the slightest hint of surprise from
your face…"
At that time, Alistair held Annabelle’s face and rubbed it, "And so?"
"There is no more. I simply want to tell you that my background of being the daughter of the Xia Group
is fake!" Annabelle said.
Alistair’s lips curled up. The man looked at her lovingly, "Do you think I am someone that cares about
that?"
"I don’t care if you are the prized daughter of the Xia family, or the daughter of a piteous beggar. You
are just Annabelle to me. The one and only Annabelle. I love you and not your background!" Alistair
enunciated.
After hearing that, Annabelle smiled.
Actually, she knew that Alistair wouldn’t mind. However, now that she heard it personally from him, she
felt at peace.
"Thank you!" Annabelle said and she tiptoed to give Alistair a kiss.
Alistair’s lips curled up.
But…
"Mr. Mu, you haven’t answered my question!"
"What?"
"Logically, you should be surprised. But why didn’t I see any signs of surprise from your face…?" After
saying that, she stared at Alistair and frowned, "Don’t tell me you have already…"
Alistair didn’t deny and he nodded.
"How did you find out? You investigated me?"
Alistair nodded honestly, "Yeah. Annabelle, I need to apologize to you on that. When I visited your
house that time, your father told me a lot of weird things and I just feel that something wasn’t right. But I
hadn’t thought that this is the case!" Alistair said.
Annabelle wasn’t angry. It was normal for the man to investigate that.
"You don’t have to apologize to me, and I hadn’t been telling you too!"
"However, although I wasn’t their real daughter, they treated me as their own!" Annabelle said.
Alistair nodded in agreement, "I could tell!"
"No matter what, I wish to thank you!" Annabelle said.
She didn’t dare to ask if he knew about Ralphy. However, she had a hunch that even if Alistair found
out about that, he wouldn’t say it. Therefore, she decided not to talk about it.
She didn’t want their rtionship to change. And so, they didn’t continue the topic.
"If you change your words of thanks to something more practical, I will be happier!" Alistair said.
"Like what?"
"Like…" As he said that, he caressed her thigh.
Annabelle pped his hand away, "Alistair, we are in the car!"
"Okay, if you want to do it at home. I will drive faster!" After saying that, Alistair looked at the driver in
front and said sternly, "Drive faster!"
Annabelle blushed. She red at Alistair in embarrassment and averted her gaze outside.
Alistair smiled. He stretched out his arms and hugged her…
The person that was most heartbroken should be Dorie.
Although she had known the truth earlier and she knew what happened to Ralphy, she still felt
heartbroken the moment she saw the news.
She hadn’t thought that the scandal would be that great. It stayed on the headlines for three
consecutive days, and the negative impacts it brought was uncalctable.
She had considered calling Ralphy. But she managed to hold herself back.
What was the point to call him now?
Dorie’s eyes were red. In the end, she came back to her senses and looked at herself, "Yang Dorie,
since you can’t ept him doing that, you shouldn’t be sad. This has nothing to do with you!"
"Yeah, nothing to do with me!"
She mumbled to herself.
After that, she tried her best to cheer herself up. She took a quick rinse and decided to go take care of
Su.
She wanted numb herself by making her day busy.
For the following days, the scandals continued to stir a hype. She didn’t call Annabelle because she
didn’t want her friend to feel that she hadn’t let go. As for the reason why Annabelle didn’t call her,
Dorie thought that she should be busy with Ralphy’s matter.
After all, it brought quite a substantial impact and it affected not just the man alone and also his
When Dorie got to Su’s house, she unlocked the door and entered directly.
When Dorie saw that no one was in the bedroom, she wandered around the ce.
"Where did he go?" She mumbled.
She wanted to use the toilet and she didn’t think much. Dorie simply went to the toilet and opened the
door.
The moment the door opened, Dorie was stunned.
It was a heavenly side before the woman.
Perfectly tanned skin, tight hips, chiseled six packs and muscr chest. There was a long scar on the
stomach. However, it did not disrupt the beauty of his overall aesthetic. The shower water dripped
down his tempting muscr lines. It was a most inviting erotic showering picture.
Dorie was overwhelmed by the sight. She stood there stupidly and blinked her eyes in admiration.
Su turned his head back. The moment he saw Dorie, he frowned and hurriedly covered himself with a
bath towel.
At that time, Dorie came back to her senses suddenly. She looked at Su’s expressionless face and she
blushed, "I, I… I didn’t see anything at all! Continue, please continue!" After saying that, Dorie stole
another nce and hurried out and shut the door.
As Dorie stood in front of the door, she was shaking in thrill.
She… She saw everything!!! Her inner voice was screaming and she kept thinking about the earlier
scene she saw.
She seemed to have seen… Everything!!!
