Chapter 696 Deception
It was just cliché like in the movies. Dorieid on top of Su and their faces were centimeters apart. The
woman''s heart was pounding rapidly and her mind went nk. She didn''t know what to do at all.
However, Su''s skin was just perfect. Now that she was looking at him so closely, it was so smooth and
alluring…
Su lied down on the floor and watched as Dorie stared at himself so intently. The woman was
After sometime, Su spoke, "Do you n to lie on me forever?”
The moment Dorie heard that, she came back to her senses right away. As she saw herself lying on
Su''s body, to be exact, Su''s naked body…
She looked down and saw she was grabbing on his muscr chest and her face blushed right away!
"Sorry, I''m so sorry…” Dorie said that as she stood up right away. She didn''t know what to do and
hurried away. However, her hands identally brushed the bath towel underneath Su…
And the towel was pulled away, showing Su''s swimming pants. It was a pair of tight pants and it
brought out Su''s manhood perfectly.
At that moment, Dorie''s eyes and mouth werepletely widened.
That…
She didn''t do it on purpose!!!
She didn''t even dare to look at Su and she felt that her face was burning hot.
"I… I didn''t see anything at all! I''m tired and sleepy. I will sleep now!” As she said that, she got up and
ran clumsily inside her room. She didn''t even wear her slippers.
Su sat on the floor and looked at Dorie''s back. The man''s lips curled up heartily.
He was wearing a swimming trunk, what could she see?!
However, as he looked at her running away, his eyes were gleaming in gentleness.
Once Dorie ran inside her room, she hid in her nket and put her pillow over her head.
That was embarrassing!
Embarrassing to death!
She had never experienced something like that!
What if Su thought that she did it on purpose?
What if he thought that she was trying something or having lustful thoughts towards him!?
GAAAAHHHH!!!
Dorie let out a sorrowful growl. Her innocence and good name was ruined!
……
In the night, Ralphy looked at Renee An. He wanted to confront her but after contemting for a while,
he said nothing.
He turned around, opened the door and wanted to go to the study room.
"Why? Are you going to the study room again?” Renee An''s voice was heard from behind.
"Yes!” Ralphy didn''t turn his head back and replied her.
There was a cold sneer on Renee An''s beautiful face, "I see. You didn''t get enough that you have seen
her today. Going back to the study room and continue?” She asked coldly.
"What are you talking about? I am going there to work!” Ralphy frowned.
"Really? Are you really so busy with work that you needed to go over and work sote every day? Or
do you have a different agenda?” Renee An approached him slowly and looked at him. Her eyes were
chilly cold. In just two days, Ralphy felt that Renee An had changed into apletely different person.
"What are you trying to say?”
"I never knew that you are such a loyal person!” The woman knew that she herself liked him, but he
liked a person he shouldn''t and he hid it from her.
Now that every time she recalled her efforts to get closer to him, she felt humiliated and she was just
acting cheap!
And that was all because of his sick thoughts!!
Ralphy''s eyes narrowed as he stared at her, "What are you trying to say?”
Renee An simply sneered, "Are you sure you don''t know? Are you really working every night in the
study room?”
"Did you go to my room and touched myputer?!” Ralphy stared at her in disbelief. His gaze was
turning into a sharp de.
Renee An simply crossed her arms around her chest, "What now? Can''t I do that?”
Ralphy looked at her and he didn''t know what to say. Although he was boiling in anger, he stared at her
and managed to hold his emotion in check.
Finally, he opened the door and walked out.
As Renee An stood inside the room and watched him leaving, she felt wronged and frustrated. At the
same time, she was infuriated!
She was unable to vent the sorrow and bitterness in her heart. She dashed to her bed and grabbed her
nket and pillows, and then smashed them as hard as she could on the floor!
Ralphy, I will not let this slide so easily!
Annabelle, I will make you pay for every sorrow that I feel!
That was a sleepless night.
Ralphy sat in his study room and looked at hisputer. Now that he knew Renee An checked his
As the man recalled the woman''s enmity towards Annabelle, he should have guessed what happened!
As he thought about that, he grabbed his hair in vex and stared helplessly at his monitor. The man just
didn''t know what to do…
On the other side.
Annabelle lied in her bed and looked outside the window. The moonlight was dim and she couldn''t see
anything. However, that emptiness was able to rx her mind.
At that time, Alistair came in the room and got in the bed. He hugged her from behind and kissed her
cheek, "Darling, what''s wrong? Why aren''t you sleeping?”
When Annabelle heard him, he turned his head back and smiled gently, "I was waiting for you!”
"Why? Are you worried about me?” Alistair raised an eyebrow and looked at her bawdily.
"Mr. Mu, stop being such a narcissist. Hurry and shower then get in bed!”
"Darling, are you trying to drop my confidence level?” Alistair pouted.
Annabelle simply chuckled, "You have so many people rubbing butter on you in thepany. Isn''t that
enough?”
"But I like it when you to it!” As he said that, Alistair got closer for a kiss. However, Annabelle simply

pushed him away with one hand.
"Our son asks you to take a shower first!”
"Our son said that?”
Annabelle nodded.
At that time, Alistair moved closer to Annabelle''s stomach and caressed it gently, "Son, how dare you
After saying that, the man removed his tie and went in the bathroom reluctantly.
Annabelle lied in the bed and smiled joyously…
Annabelle wasfortable with their marriage life. That was all because Alistair was considerate and
thoughtful.
Previously, he would workte and even work overtime, resulting ining homete. But now, the
man set a restriction to himself. He woulde home before nine o''clock to apany his wife. If any
emergency were to happen, he would need to make a call to ask for approval first.
Annabelle was satisfied and contended with the man.
However, life wasn''t perfect and free from problem. Now she needed to worry about Renee An.
Whenever she thought about her actions, Annabelle just couldn''t be restful…
The next day.
Soon after Annabelle woke up, she received a call from Renee An.
Half an hourter, Annabelle got down from upstairs. At that time, uncle Lee was downstairs. Annabelle
walked over and greeted the man, "Good morning, uncle Lee. May I ask if you are free now?”
"Youngdy, do you need any help?” Uncle Lee asked.
"I need to go out to do something. Do you think you can send me over?” Annabelle asked politely.
Uncle Lee nodded, "Of course!”
"Thank you so much!”
"Let me go get the car now!”
……
Ralphy was working in his office. At that time, his phone on the desk rang. He nced at the number
and answered it.
"Hello…”
"Is this Ralphy?”
"Speaking. Who are you?” When Ralphy heard an unfamiliar voice over the phone, he frowned.
"You don''t have to know about that. Bring five million to Golden Arch Hotel in thirty minutes. Room 303.
Otherwise, I can''t guarantee what would happen to Annabelle. And you shouldn''t alert the police, I
don''t think you will be able to handle the consequences…”
The moment Ralphy heard Annabelle''s name, his stood up right away, "Who are you? What do you
want?”
"You will know once youe with the money!”
"You…”
*Beep… Beep*
Before Ralphy finished his sentence, the call was ended.
Ralphy gripped his phone hard. He didn''t spend another second and he grabbed his car keys and went
out hispany.
The man drove as fast as he could. The only thing he hoped was that Annabelle was safe!
More than half an hourter, Ralphy reached the Golden Arch Hotel. He found his way to room 303 and
stood outside the door. After contemting for a while, he pressed on the doorbell.
A few secondster, the door was opened.
"You sure are fast!”
Ralphy looked at the person inside, "Where is she?”
"Let''s talk inside!”
Ralphy looked around and followed after the man.
The moment Ralphy got inside, he saw that there was just one man. He looked around and didn''t see
Annabelle.
"Where is she?” Ralphy asked.
"Don''t be hasty. Have you brought the money?” The man asked.
"I want to see her first!”
"Do you think you are in a ce to negotiate with me?” The man asked.
Ralphy stared at him for a while. After that, he looked around the room. Now that he came unprepared,
he was feeling uneasy.
"How can I know that you are not tricking me?”
"Does that even matter? Now that you are here, do you think you have a choice?” The man asked.
Finally, Ralphy contemted for a while and passed him a cheque.
"Cheque? Are you ying tricks with me?”
"You asked me to prepare five million in half an hour. How do you think I should prepare that? What''s
wrong with a cheque? It is the same!” Ralphy said.
The man looked at Ralphy and didn''t say anything.
At that time, Ralphy red at him and asked, "Where is she?!”
"Why are you so nervous?”
"You!!”
"Say, how much do you think Alistair will give me if I call him?” The man asked.
When Ralphy heard that, he frowned, "What are you trying to do?”
The manughed, "I just want money. I will give her to whoever offers me a higher price!”
"You dare?!” Ralphy''s pupil widened as he red at the man. The man''s eyes was so wrathful that he
looked as if he might murder him.
Ralphy was too worried about Annabelle and he grabbed the man''s cor, "What do you want? Do you
think I don''t dare to do anything to you?”
"If you dare to even touch me, I will make sure she suffers ten times more!”
"You….!”
Ralphy was helpless and he had no choice but to release him.
The man looked at Ralphy andughed mockingly, "How dare you try to hurt me? Now I shall give you
a choice, stab yourself with a knife!” As he said that, he threw a fruit knife to Ralphy.
Ralphy stared at the man in disbelief.
"How was it? Are you gonna do it? If you don''t, I will get someone to stab her. Now that she is
pregnant, I''m afraid it would be quite risky!”
"What do you want?!!?” Ralphy screamed in rage. He red so furiously at the man and there were
green veins popping out on his temple and knuckle.
"I thought I have made myself very clear? Stab yourself or I''ll get someone to stab her!”
When the man saw that Ralphy wasn''t moving, he spoke to his ear piece, "Do it!”
"No!!”
Right after he said that, Ralphy stopped him.
He looked at the fruit knife on the floor and walked forward to pick it up slowly.
The man looked at him emotionlessly.
"I hope you keep your words!” As he said that, he lifted the fruit knife and wanted to stab himself.
"How amusing!” At that time, a female voice was heard from behind.
The moment Ralphy heard that, he looked towards the direction of the voice. At that time, one of the
room''s door opened and Renee An came out while pping her hands.
The moment Ralphy saw her, his eyebrows furrowed deeply.
What was she doing there?
At that time, Renee An walked towards the man and took out a deck of cash from her handbag, "Thank
you for your help. However, make sure you keep your lips sealed about what happened today.
Otherwise…”
The fierce and savage man changed his expression the moment he saw Renee An. He smiled at her
fawningly, "Please rest assured, I didn''t know anything…”
Renee An passed him the money and the man immediately exited the room.
And now, Ralphy slowly realized what happened!
He looked at Renee An, "Did you orchestrate all of this?”
Renee An looked at him and sneered coldly, "Why? You don''t like this show that I prepared specially for
you?”
"What do you want?” Ralphy looked at her and asked coldly. His gaze was like the deepest abyss
where monster lurks.
"Nothing at all. I simply want to know how much you siblings love each other!” Renee An snickered.
Ralphy''s eyes were sharp like the cold des as he stared fixatedly at the woman in front of him.
"Ralphy, you shouldn''t have lied to me!” Renee An screamed angrily.
Ralphy stood with a straightened back and said nothing.
"How dare you treat me like a fool!? And I was wondering, even the coldest person would have
warmed up already. But you showed no response. I hadn''t expected the person in your heart to be
her!!!” Renee An yelled.
Ralphy did not deny and he simply looked at her, "I have never lied to you!”
"You didn''t? If you didn''t like me, why did you marry me?!” Renee An asked hysterically, "If I had known
that your heart wasn''t with me, I wouldn''t have married you. And I wouldn''t need to suffer like this!”
"You are simply using me! You wanted to leverage on the influence of my family!” Renee An screamed
as she pped Ralphy. She hit him so hard that her palm was numbed.
Although she had known that it was always a decisive factor, she could oversee it due to how much
she liked the man.
However, now she painfully found out that everything was just a lie!
The most shameless deception!!
Ralphy stood quietly and there was a fresh fingerprint on his face. He looked at her and said, "If you
suffer so much, let''s just divorce. You can say whatever you want to others and tell them you wanted to
divorce me!”
Divorce.
The moment Renee An heard that, she was stunned.
She looked at him and her eyes welled up in tears, "Ralphy, you are a scum! Aplete scum!!!” She
screamed.
"Whatever. But I do not wish to see something petty like this anymore!” After saying that, he walked out
right away.
"If you have decided to divorce, inform me anytime!” After saying that, he walked out the room.
Renee An stood there and watched as Ralphy left. The woman felt all her energy being drained and
she toppled over, leaning against the desk by the side.
Her tears broke out like a broken dam.
Divorce?
Divorce!!
He wanted a divorce!!!
Impossible!
She would never allow that!!
After a long time, Renee An walked inside the bedroom. Annabelle was sitting inside and she had a
pained expression.
The moment Renee An walked inside, she had already wiped her tears clean. She looked at Annabelle
and asked, "How was it? Exciting?”
Annabelle raised her head and looked at her. Her eyebrows lowered faintly.
"Do you want to know how I find out?”
Annabelle did not reply.
Renee An continued, "I saw his diary in Facebook!”
Annabelle bit her lips. She didn''t know what to say.
Renee An sneered, "What a shocking twist of event!”
"Sis…”
"Stop calling me sis!” Renee An interrupted her coldly, "Annabelle, and there I treated you like my own
sister. Like my very own, closest sibling. How dare you lie to me like that?”
"And you stillforted me that time. Was that all for the sake of humiliating me?”
Renee An was so troubled that her expression was distorted. Annabelle knew that she wouldn''t listen
to any of her exnation.
However, if she were to see nothing, Renee An would just treat that as a silent acquiescence!
"I have grown up with brother together. Although I am not the real daughter of the Xia family, we were
as close as real siblings. Not just him, if I were to put in this situation, I would have done the same for
him!” Annabelle said.
"Are you trying to show off how close you are with him?” Renee An looked at her and asked back.
Annabelle just didn''t know how to respond to her cold and menacing gaze.
"I simply want to tell you the truth. It will not change and nobody will change it!”
"Really?” Renee An sneered in deride. The woman didn''t believe a word that came out from
Annabelle''s mouth.
"I know you wouldn''t believe anything I say. Renee, I''ve never lied to you and I really hope that you can
be happy with my brother!” Annabelle looked at Renee An and enunciated.
"But your existence made that impossible!” Renee An screamed.
Annabelle had a grim expression. She looked at Renee An and spoke after hesitating for a long time,
"You are being too emotional. Let''s talk after you have calmed down!” After saying that, Annabelle
picked up her handbag and wanted to leave.
At that time, Renee An looked at her back and muttered, "Annabelle, I hate you. If I can''t be happy, I
will not let you be happy as well…”
Annabelle''s steps froze. She didn''t answer and simply walked away.
After leaving the hotel, Annabelle sat inside the car.
Uncle Lee sat in the driver seat. When he saw that Annabelle had a troubled expression, he asked,
"Youngdy, are you okay? Did anything happen?”
Annabelle came back to her senses and she looked at uncle Lee and shook her head, "I am fine!”
"Should we go back now?”
Annabelle nodded, "Yeah, okay!”
Uncle Lee nodded and started the car they drive home.
As Annabelle sat in the car and looked outside the window, she waspletely troubled and unable to
describe her feelings.
It was beyond her wildest dream to see things turned out like this.
Although she didn''t witness the process, she stayed inside and heard everything…
She knew that it was Renee''s deliberate arrangement, but she was nervous and high strung the whole
time.
And it was the worst possible ending.
Annabelle''s hand was clutching her shirt. Her innocent and gorgeous face was showing a helpless
expression. She stared emptily outside the window and she looked distressed.
Alistair was in his office when he heard uncle Lee''s report. The man frowned, "How is she now?”
"Okay, got it. I will go home earlier tonight!” After saying that, Alistair hung up the call.
Annabelle was Alistair''s most precious treasure. Uncle Lee was worried when he saw her behavior and
he gave Alistair a call. If anything were to happen, he wouldn''t be able to suffer Alistair''s wrath.
After hanging up the call, Alistair stood in front of the window. His deep gaze was simmering in thought
and no one could tell what he was thinking.
At that time, the door to his office was knocked, "President Mu, there is a Miss An looking for you!”
Miss An?
Renee An?
The man''s gorgeous face had a puzzled expression. After that, he said, "Let her in!”
The secretary nodded and looked at the woman in front of her. She gave her the approval and Renee
An walked inside.
Alistair sat behind his working desk. The moment he saw Renee An, he didn''t show any sign of
surprise. The man simply smiled, "Renee, wee! Why the sudden visit?”
