My Killing President

Chapter 655 Responsible

But why didn't she tell him?

Dorie looked at Alistair and said, "Do you know why didn't Annabelle tell you?"

"Because she was just disappointed in you!" Dorie enunciated. Every word of hers was piercing

Alistair's heart.

Alistair froze. The always rational and prudent man was in dismay.

At that time, countless memories flashed in his mind.

Whenever he recalled how she smiled nonchalantly, he could still feel her powerlessness and

desperation.

He could even feel her heartbrokenness!

"Was that Nancy really just your life savior?" Dorie asked blatantly. Her tone was mocking.

When Alistair heard that, he raised his gaze and looked at Dorie.

She simply sneered, "Are you curious why would I know? Nancy told Annabelle everything. She was

still waiting for your explanation. But you didn't give her anything!"

When Alistair heard that, his eyebrows furrowed closely.

"Alistair, if you really love her, you wouldn't have done something like that in the birthday party. You

simply saw that Nancy's hand was burnt, but did you notice that Annabelle's hand was the same? You

have already hurt her. No matter how you want to compensate, what done is done. If anything were to

happen to her or the baby…" When Dorie talked about that, she shook her head and gave him her final

words, "I was wrong about you!"

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Su was watching from the side. As Dorie left, he followed as well.

Ralphy glared furiously at Alistair. After that, he got into his car and drove off.

Alistair was left standing alone in the same place. He felt all alone and everything Dorie said resounded

in his ears.

He could identify with what she said.

However, he had his own reasons as well. But whenever he compared his own reasons with Annabelle,

all of a sudden everything seemed unimportant.

After standing there for a long while, he came back to his senses. He looked around trying to find that

familiar figure.

However, the harsh reality reminded him that Annabelle was gone!

The three group of people had been looking for the entire day and they didn't get anything.

Annabelle did not go back to the Xia family.

Nor her own house.

It was so late already, where could she go?

Her phone was unreachable.

After a long time, Alistair took up his phone and called a number. Soon after, his call was picked up.

Jack was eating when he saw Alistair's phone and he answered it right away, "Sir, anything up?"

"Jack, help me to check all the hotels in A city, see if you can find Annabelle's name!"

Annabelle's name…?

"Sir, did anything happen?" Jack asked.

"Don't ask questions now. Hurry and check them for me!"

Once Jack heard that, he knew something serious must have happened. But he didn't dare to ask

questions. The assistant hurriedly answered, "Okay, got it. I'm on it!"

After hanging up the call, Alistair took a deep breath. He sat in his car and massaged his temple.

Annabelle, where are you!?

So long had passed and it should be about time you come back to us!

However, they still didn't get any news on Annabelle.

At that time, his phone rang. When Alistair picked up his phone, he saw that it was from his father. The

man answered the call.

"Hello, dad..."

"Okay, got it. I am on my way back!"

After hanging up the call, Alistair continued to sit in his car for a while. After that, he started his car and

drove back.

In the Mu House.

When Alistair went back, his family gathered and they were eating. Nancy was around as well and the

atmosphere was cheery.

"Nancy, it's your birthday today, eat more!"

"Okay, sure!"

"You youngsters had been going at it in the daytime. And now we can finally accompany you for a

meal!"

"This is more than enough, I am happy!" Nancy said smilingly.

"By the way, Nancy, this is a present for you!" The grandmother said.

When Nancy saw the present, she laughed happily, "Thank you, grandma!"

"You are welcome! Come, hurry and eat!"

"Okay!"

Once Alistair entered his house, that was all he saw.

Nancy turned her head and saw Alistair. After that, she called out to him right away, "Alistair, you're

back!"

She was smiling innocently and guilelessly.

When the man saw how happy she smiled, he couldn't help but recalled what Dorie said, that Nancy

had told Annabelle about their relationship much earlier. Therefore, Annabelle had been troubled all

these while however, what was the reason Nancy didn't tell him?

At that time, the grandmother looked at him and asked smilingly, "Alistair, you're back! Hmm, where is

Annabelle?"

The moment she mentioned Annabelle, his expression turned grim.

Nancy looked around Alistair and didn't see Annabelle. Did they quarrel?

"You guys enjoy your meal, I don't have much of an appetite!" Alistair refused and turned around to get

upstairs.

Nancy stood up and asked, "How was it? You guys still didn't manage to find sister Annabelle?"

The moment she mentioned Annabelle, Alistair stared at Nancy. He was examining and observing her

carefully. It was unfathomable for him that Nancy was such a sly person.

If she didn't do it on purpose, why didn't she tell him anything after confronting Annabelle.

But if she were to do it on purpose…

He just couldn't imagine it.

"No." He said grimly. When the grandmother heard their conversation, she asked, "Annabelle? What

happened to Annabelle?"

Alistair stood there and glanced at his grandmother. He didn't know how to tell his family that Annabelle

was missing.

He wasn't afraid to get scolded but he was afraid that his grandmother might worry too much.

Nancy was silent as well and she didn't know what to say. She looked at Alistair and said thoughtfully, "I

believe sister Annabelle will definitely be okay!"

Alistair looked at her with a deep gaze. But he didn't say anything.

At that time, Alistair's phone rang. When he saw that it was from Jack, he answered it right away.

"Hey, how was it?"

"President Mu, I checked every hotel in A city, from 1 star to 6 stars and I didn't manage to find Miss

Xia's name!"

When Alistair heard that, his heart sank. He was silent for a moment and didn't know what to say. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"I have already sent someone to look for her. I will inform you if I get any update!"

"Okay!" Alistair answered. Right after he wanted to hang up the phone, he recalled something all of a

sudden and said, "By the way, check all the hospitals, airports and piers. Inform me right away if you

get anything!"

Jack wanted to ask more questions. However, he could tell that Alistair was in a very bad mood and he

decided to keep it to himself, "Okay, got it. I will do that right away!"

After hanging up the call, Alistair's expression was completely grim.

When his family from the dining table heard his conversation, they were stunned, "Alistair, what

happened? Why are you investigating the hospitals and airports?"

Alistair didn't answer.

The grandmother frowned and asked, "Did anything happened to Annabelle?"

The moment she mentioned that, the atmosphere was tensed.

Nancy stood there and didn't say anything. However, she could feel from Alistair's gaze that he was

blaming her. Although he said nothing.

The quieter Alistair was, the more worried the grandmother got. She walked over and looked at him,

"What happened? What is wrong with Annabelle?"

When Alistair saw how worried his grandmother was, he pondered for a while and said, "Grandma…"

"Annabelle is pregnant!" Before he said anything, there was another person that interrupted him.

The family turned their head back and saw Dorie walking inside.

When she saw that the family was eating together, she was boiling in rage. Now that Annabelle was

missing, how dare they gather around here to eat.

Dorie looked at the strangers and introduced herself, "I am Annabelle's best friend!"

The moment she said that, the grandmother dropped all her guards. She walked towards Dorie quickly

and asked, "What did you say? Annabelle is pregnant?" The grandmother was in elation.

That news was the most anticipated and pleasant surprise for the grandmother.

Nancy was shocked. She raised her head and looked at Alistair in disbelief. She was overwhelmed by

the news.

When Dorie looked at the grandmother, she nodded, "Yes, she is pregnant. However, the gestation isn't

too stable and most importantly, she is missing right this moment!"

Just moments ago, the family was in elation. After they heard what Dorie said, they were anxious,

"Missing? What do you mean by missing?"

At that time, Dorie looked over to Alistair, "I'm afraid we need to ask president Mu that question!"

The moment she said that, all the responsibilities fell on Alistair.

The grandmother was stunned and she turned her head over to look at Alistair, "Alistair, what, what did

she mean?"

"Is what she said true?"

When the grandmother saw that he wasn't speaking, she frowned and asked, "Why aren't you

speaking? Let me ask you again, where is Annabelle? When Alistair saw how worried his grandmother

was, he couldn't deny and he nodded.

"You…!" The grandmother was just furious.

"You brat, did you make Annabelle angry? Why are you angering her when she is pregnant? You stupid

kid…" The grandmother was so angry that she struck Alistair twice. However, the man was her beloved

grandkid and she didn't hit hard. She simply wanted to teach him a lesson.

Zen and his wife exchanged a look and they were still in shock, thinking if they have heard them

mistakenly. At that time, the mother walked over and held the grandmother, "Mum, the most important

thing right now is for us is to look for Annabelle!"

"But, where could Annabelle go?" The grandmother asked worriedly.

"Grandma, don't worry so much. Sister Annabelle is a sensible adult. She will definitely be fine!" Nancy

comforted.

Probably it was because of the enmity or resentment towards Nancy, whatever she said just infuriated

Dorie.

She glanced at Nancy and said, "Exactly. Unstable pregnancy and now she is missing. May I ask this

young lady, when should we start worrying about her?" Dorie asked coldly.

It was obvious that her tone was filled with enmity. However, she just couldn't hold herself back.

The moment that she thought about Annabelle's unknown whereabouts, what she was doing or what

happened to her, she just wanted to vent it all on Nancy. All in all, she was the start of everything! If it

wasn't for her, none of these would have happened.

When the family saw Dorie's attitude towards Nancy, they were stunned.

Zen was the one that reacted first and he said, "The most important thing right now is to look for

Annabelle!"

"Uncle Lee!" Zen called out at that time and a man came inside, "Master!"

"Send some men to look for Annabelle. Inform us if you get any news!"

"Yes, master." And uncle Lee left the house.

At that time, Dorie stood there and looked at the family, "Grandma, I am not here to find fault. All I want

is to get more help to look for Annabelle. We still couldn't locate her after she went missing in the noon.

Since the Mu family is so influential and resourceful, I hope you can contact me after you find

Annabelle!"

The grandmother nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, we will do everything we can to look for her. No matter

the price!"

"Now that I hear it from you, I can be more restful!" After saying that, she glanced over at Alistair but

didn't say anything.

"If that's the case, I shall excuse myself now!"

"Do you want to wait here for a little longer?"

"There is no need for that. There are things that I still need to do. But if you happened to find

Annabelle, please tell me as well!"

"We most definitely will. If that's the case, we shall not bother you. Auntie Li, please help us to see her

off!"

"There's no need for that!" Dorie said and left with Su.

When Su looked at Dorie's back, his lips curled up.

She was willing to go to such length for her friend. All of a sudden, he came to a realization why

Annabelle would do so much for him previously!

After Dorie left, the household was back to silence.

Alistair continued to stand there and nobody said anything in the dining table. After a moment, he

walked over to the couch in the living room and sat down. His head was low and his hands were

grabbing his hair. He seemed to be in distress.

When the grandmother saw him like that, she didn't say anything anymore. She just couldn't help but

worry.

Nobody had any appetite in the dinner and they left soon after.

Even when it was late in the night, they still got no news on Annabelle.

At that time, Madam Mu looked at grandma Mu and said, "Mum, it's already so late, do you want to get

some rest first?"

"How can I rest when we still haven't gotten any news on Annabelle? She is still pregnant. What if

anything happens to her?!" The grandmother was worried sick.

"It won't be. Annabelle will definitely be okay. Mum, you must take care of your own body. I will make

sure to notify you the moment she comes back, okay?" Madam Mu said.

At last, the grandmother nodded, "All right, make sure to tell me right away once you get any news on

Annabelle. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to rest properly!"

"Yeah, don't worry. I'll definitely do that!" Madam Mu said.

After that, she helped her mother to get upstairs to rest.

Zen went to arrange some manpower for a search party.

He was busy all the way until midnight and Alistair got Zen to get upstairs to rest.

Alistair was the only person left in the living room. It was dark and he didn't open any lights. He stood

by the balcony and lit up a cigarette. When Nancy came out from her room, she saw his back.

She went downstairs and walked towards Alistair.

"Alistair!" She appeared behind him.

When Alistair heard her, he didn't turn his head back and continued to look outside. Even though it was

so dark that he couldn't see anything at all.

"Don't worry so much. I believe sister Annabelle will definitely be fine!" Nancy walked over and

comforted him.

At that time, Alistair tilted his head and looked at her. His eyes were shining like a gem in the night and

he stared intently at Nancy. It was dark and they didn't have any lights on. The moonlight was gentle

but his gaze was sharp and frightening.

Nancy looked at him and didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?" Nancy looked at him and asked.

At that time, Alistair drew back his gaze and asked, "Nancy, you have been staying here for quite some

time now. When do you plan to go back?"

That again.

"Are you chasing me away??" Nancy asked.

"You have been here for too long and your daddy must be worried already!"

"My daddy asked you to take care of me!" Nancy corrected him.

Alistair's face tensed. After a momentary silence, he said, "Annabelle is missing now. After I found her, I

will definitely take good care of her. Now that she is pregnant, I don't think I can be distracted to take

care of you!"

When Nancy heard that, she was stunned, "Do you blame me for what happened to sister Annabelle?"

"I don't know why that happened, but I know it was my fault…"

"That has nothing to do with you!" Alistair interrupted her before she finished.

"This is solely my responsibility and it has nothing to do with anyone else!" Alistair said. His gaze was

determined. He didn't blame anyone but himself for neglecting Annabelle's feelings.

Nancy looked at him and didn't know what to say.

At that time, Alistair turned around and said, "You should go to sleep. I'll leave first."

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go look for her!"

"Let me follow you!"

"There's no need, I will be fine by myself!" After saying that, Alistair wanted to leave. At that time,

Nancy rushed in front of him and blocked his path, "And you said you didn't blame me? You are clearly

angry at me!"

When Alistair looked at Nancy, he frowned, "I do have something I don't understand!"

"What?"

"Did you tell Annabelle that we have known each other previously?" Although the man didn't say

anything, he was just trying to look for an appropriate chance to tell Annabelle about Nancy. However,

he hadn't expected Nancy to tell Annabelle so soon, causing her to overthink.

When Nancy heard that, she was stunned. She hadn't expected Alistair to know about that. However,

she had braced herself from the day that she decided to say it.

"Yes, I told her that. I went shopping with sister Annabelle and I said it accidentally. I didn't say anything

else!" Nancy said.

Alistair looked at her and he was silent.

"Was that the reason she went missing? If it is, I am willing to apologize to her!" Nancy said anxiously.

She didn't want her relationship with Alistair to be ruined because of that.

"There's no need for that." Alistair rejected her directly and his tone was cold, "This is solely my

responsibility and it has nothing to do with you!" After saying that, he decided not to speak to Nancy

anymore and walked past her. Alistair went out the balcony.

Nancy stood there and looked at Alistair's back view. She felt an aching pain in her heart…

Alistair drove back to the house Annabelle and him stayed.

It was pitch black in the house and he found no trace of Annabelle coming back.

He opened the lights and walked inside. Then, he saw the half glass of milk in the living room left

behind by Annabelle. The woman had such obvious changes for the past few days but he did not

notice anything…

Now Dorie's remark of him resounded in his ears.

She was right!

That he was just an asshole!

A complete and utter douchebag!

Annabelle, where are you?

Even if you want to leave me, you should at least let me know that you are safe!

The man sat in the living room and it was two o'clock in the midnight. He still didn't have any news

regarding Annabelle.

He was fearful. That Annabelle would disappear just like this. And it will be the last time he saw her in

his life…

When he thought about that, he got his keys from the desk and rushed out the house.

No matter what, he shouldn't be sitting here and wait for news. He must go and try his best to look for

Annabelle.

Alistair wasn't the only one looking for her that night.

Ralphy was doing the same as well.

Ever since he knew that Annabelle was gone, he had been searching relentlessly. He tried everything

he can to contact everyone Annabelle knew. However, all he heard was that it had been a while since

they last saw her.

If that was the case, where could she go?

If anything were to happen to Annabelle… He didn't even dare to imagine it.

He didn't go home in the night and his phone was ringing all the time.

When he saw that it was Renee An calling, he answered it.

"Hello?"

"Ralphy, it's so late already, are you coming home?" Renee An asked in the phone.

"Didn't I tell you already? I will be staying in the company and not going home today!" Ralphy said. He

was so worried about Annabelle and he was speaking in a fierce tone.

Renee An was stunned when she heard him, "Okay, I understand."

Ralphy realized that he had gone too far and he drew a deep breath, "Renee, listen to me and rest

earlier. I will go home early in the morning tomorrow!"

"Okay, got it!"

After hanging up the call, Ralphy felt relieved.

He didn't want to hurt Renee An. However, he just couldn't love her and there are things that couldn't

be avoided.

Renee An was bound to be hurt the moment she decided to marry him.

He wanted to compensate her. However, there was nothing he could offer except a marriage.

Everything else was a luxury because he had given them to someone else…

He sat in the car and continued to search for the entire night. The man was tired but he didn't want to

give up. He raised his head and reclined on the car seat to rest a little…

Annabelle, you must make sure to be safe!

Please be safe!
