Chapter 1653 An Accident (Part Three)



Chapter 1653 An Accident (Part Three)

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. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"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 confidence in this. Even if Mr. Yi did not help him for the

sake of Kevin and Daisy, he had to in order to show his respect and gratitude for Edward. Moreover,

Rain believed that the police would not do anything to him until they found out who was responsible for

the accident.

"How about the media?"

"I have arranged everything for every circumstance. I'll hold a press conference in the afternoon.

Please, do prepare for it." It was better for Rain to take initiative than to await his doom so he

approached the circumstance.

"Understood, Mr. Xia." William finally broke into a smile. It seemed that his boss already had everything

figured out.

It was not until Annie arrived at the airport that she heard about the news regarding the accident that

took place. She had not seen Rain for years so she was surprised to know that Rain had become the

CEO of the KD Group.

"Annie, isn't he the deputy CEO of the FX International Group? I didn't know he was also the CEO of

the KD Group," Fred asked in curiosity. Annie sat still, trying to keep her heart steady. Her eyes were

glassy trying to hold back the tears at the sight of Rain.

"I have no idea." Annie was just as confused. There were butterflies dancing around inside her

stomach, violently trying to get out.

"I am very sorry for the accident that took place under my care. My improper management opened the

door for disaster. I will identify the families of the injured employees and the affected personnel in order

to extend my apologies to them. I will make sure the KD Group covers all medical expenses." Rain's

low voice echoed in Annie's ears. She thought that he looked more depressed than he originally was

last night.

Annie had no idea what Rain said next. She was so lost in the face of Rain that she could not hear

anything and anyone else just wondering how Rain was doing.

"Annie, it's time to board the plane," Fred reminded her. She looked like she lost her soul. Fred became

more certain that there was something between Annie and this man. At least, there used to be.

"Okay," Annie said. "Let's go." Annie thought Rain had nothing to do with her already. He had someone

to take care of him, but she could not help but feel heartbroken.

"Annie, this way." Fred dragged Annie who was going in the opposite direction of where the flight was.

"Oh," Annie said, "Sorry, I'm being so absent-minded." Annie frowned and knew that something was

going inside of her. Seeing the depressed look on the face of the love of her life made her want to

shelter him in her arms and console him. 'Am I being crazy?!' she thought to herself.

"Hurry up. We're going to be late for our flight," Fred urged since he felt that the longer Annie stayed,

the more dismayed she felt. He was afraid to lose his friend to the city so he was really eager to leave.

"Okay." Annie went with Fred to the right direction but would look back repeatedly every step of the

way, longing for the warmth of Rain's embrace.

After the press conference, Rain was already exhausted. However, he still had to follow up some tasks.

That was why when he saw Tiana, he just got more short-tempered.

"Rain, are you alright?" 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.
