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 ne was forced to an emergencynding.


    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 ident of the ne. 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 thepany 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.


    Annabelleughed, "If it weren''t for your father, thepany 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 mypany, 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''ste 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 wastest


    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 thepanyter?" 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 thepany?"


    "I didn''t know anyone here at all. Do you want me to just sit at home?"


    "If you are bored, just y some games or surf the Inte!"


    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 ss of drink and she epted 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 rtionship 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.


    "Youngdy, 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 wellst night. That was probably the


    reason!"Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    At that time, auntie Li brought breakfast and put it in front of Annabelle, "Youngdy, 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 shouldpensate me properly!"


    Alistair looked at her and grinned sciously. He even raised his eyebrows naughtily, "Don''t worry, I will


    make sure topensate 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 thepany with youter, 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''tin.


    Annabelle smiled as well when she was eating breakfast.


    After breakfast, Annabelle and Alistair took the same ride to thepany. 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 thepany sometimeter.


    The moment they reached, Jack was already waiting downstairs.


    Now that thepany 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 Alistairing back, they greeted him uniformly, "President Mu!"


    Annabelle followed closely beside him and walked into thepany with him.


    When Alistair went inside, all of the workers gathered around him, "I thank everyone that kept the


    ordingly!" Alistair said.


    At that time, someone cheered, "President Mu, wee home!"


    Everyone pped 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 hourter. Those thatete 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 theirzy 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


    "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 rx 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 minutester, neen 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, thest 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 viins 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''mte!" 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 ast-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


    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, thepany didn''t fall to his hands!" Alistair said tantly.


    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 cameter 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 me!"


    "I think president Mu was just looking for a reason to kick me out. Don''t you forget that I am the second


    "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 thepany''s fund without authorization. You think I can put up


    with that?"


    Once Alistair said that, everyone else was stunned.
