Fred fixated his attention on Annie. Although she kept denying it, he could tell that she met a terrible feeling within the city. Otherwise, she would not look so sad.
Rain was too occupied to attend to any of his personal endeavors. After he made sure that every wounded person had already been attended to in the hospital, he rushed down to the Western Hill. He came to collect the details before going to the police station to file a report.
Cyrus was nowhere to be found. Not only was Sanford unsuccessful in finding Cyrus, he also had no clues since not even his wife knew his whereabouts. According to Cyrus' wife, he did not go home last night and he had turned off his phone so that no one could get in touch with him. That was why Rain had to handle the accident that Cyrus had caused alone.
"Mr. Xia, I have a hunch that all this is a conspiracy, " William spoke out his mind. He felt that it wasn't a coincidence that Cyrus was nowhere to be found. He must have planned his escape.
"I know, but what happened has already happened. Even if there's a trap, I still have to go ahead without hesitation if I want to find out what's on the other side." Rain was no longer a frivolous playboy. He became a responsible CEO who could keep his composure and could stay level headed.
"It's monstrous!" William fumed."He keeps making things look like your fault. This time, you even have to take the blame for him!" William was disgusted and upset. Everything went smoothly back when they worked at the FX International Group. It was nothing like this. Edward might have been bossy then, but they got along just well with each other.
"It's okay. It's not like I'm easy to defeat." Rain sneered. He knew he was nobody's patsy. He was not as vulnerable as he was a decade ago. He learned his lesson.
"But the police might arrest you, " William added.
"Mr. Yi knows what to do." Rain had absolute
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again. But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
ht?" Tiana did not know about the accident so she rushed over to watch the press conference.
"Get off my neck, Tiana. I'm busy." Rain impatiently broke away from the grip of her hand. This caused Tiana to fall down. He stopped for a moment, thinking maybe he should help her, but he decided that he had better things to do and hurriedly marched away from her.
"Miss Ke, get up. Mr. Xia is in a bad mood. Please, don't put anything more on his plate." William helped Tiana up and quickly went back to serve his boss.
Rain pushed the door to his office open and slammed it shut. He still had a lot of repressed anger to release when his phone rang.
"Hello?" He answered weakly.
"Annie will leave by plane at four o'clock, " Edward said in a deep voice, taking a serious tone.
"So?" Rain sprawled onto the couch, showing no interest. 'Let her go then, ' he thought. They had been separated for so long that Rain had no concrete proof of whether or not Annie still had feelings for him. Even if Fred wasn't her husband and even if the children he saw weren't hers, he no longer had anything to do with her. Annie didn't ask him to stay the moment he left last night. Rain thought he was being delusional and had given up on getting the love of his life to stay.
