Chapter 707 Accident
The woman walked over and sat opposite Ralphy Xia.
"Sorry about that, the traffic was bad!" Renee An said that and her tone and expression was distancing.
Ralphy Xia simply looked at her and recalled how she used to be.
She would always call him lovingly and was never shy to show off her affection towards him. Now she
was just a complete stranger. It was such a short time but it felt like a century.
"I just reached as well." He replied indifferently.
"Okay, what is your business with me?" Renee An asked directly. She knew that Ralphy Xia looked for
her for only two possible reasons. The first is to find fault about she spreading the news. Secondly, a
divorce.
She came prepared.
Now as the two talk, there were even more distanced and careful than strangers.
"Nothing. I simply want to ask how you have been doing."
"I was doing great!" Right after he said that, Renee An replied right away. She sounded forceful.
Ralphy Xia was stunned. He looked at her and asked gently, "When do you plan to come back?"
Go back?
Renee An looked at Ralphy Xia in puzzlement. Did she heard him wrongly? Or was there something
wrong with him?
The man asked her to go back?
"Go back where?"
"Home."
Renee An sneered coldly and she looked at Ralphy Xia laughably, "Did I hear you wrongly? Or are you
somewhat confused?"
"You didn't hear me wrongly and I wasn't mistaken." Ralphy Xia said slowly.
All of a sudden, Renee An didn't know what she should do.
She squinted her eyes and examined the man in front of him. What was he thinking?
No matter what, the man wouldn't love her. Therefore, as long as that was fixed, Renee An would not
accept him.
Renee An sneered and lifted her cup of coffee and drank elegantly, "I don't understand what you
mean!"
"If you are done getting angry, just come home with me!"
Renee An's gesture of lifting the cup paused. She pinched on the handle hard and didn't know what to
say. How could he act as if nothing ever happened? How could he assume that she would go back with
him!
As she thought about that, she raised her gaze and stared at Ralphy Xia.
The woman sneered, "Ralphy Xia, you are just overconfident or maybe a narcissist. Have I ever said
that I will go back with you? Do you think you can pretend that nothing ever happened?" Renee An
enunciated. Every word of hers were filled with scorn.
Ralphy Xia knew that she wouldn't be able to let go so easily. There was a flash of conflicting emotion
in his eyes, "If it's possible, I hope that all these never happened!"
"Hahaha…" Renee An broke into a laughter. As if she had heard the most laughable statement,
"Maybe you can, but I couldn't!"
"You wanted a divorce, right?" Renee An sneered, "I will not divorce you. But Ralphy Xia, I will make
sure to make your life hell!" She looked at Ralphy Xia and enunciated.
Ralphy Xia's eyebrows furrowed deeply in restlessness, "Renee…"
"Stop calling my name! You do not have the right to do that!" After saying that, Renee An glared at him
coldly, "If you don't have anything else to say, I shall leave now!" After saying that, she took up her
handbag and left with a glare.
Ralphy Xia sat there and looked as she left. The man frowned in vex.
What should he do to get things back to normal?
After leaving the coffee house, Renee An got in the car and her heart was still pounding rapidly.
She was infuriated.
However, she knew that her anger was roused because of the sudden change of Ralphy Xia's attitude
to ask her back!
The man did not show her the respect she deserved, and treated her like a disposable!
Renee An threw her handbag to the side angrily. She hated herself. She had reminded herself over and
over again not to get angry with whatever he said, or even tempted. But now, she just couldn't help
herself…
When she was simmering in anger, her phone rang.
She glanced at the number and answered it.
"Hello!"
"Miss An, it's me!"
"Who is this?" Renee An was on the verge of erupting.
"The reporter from New Times. I have helped you to publish the news about the Xia family!"
When Renee An heard that, she frowned, "What do you want from me?"
"They have found out about me and I have lost my job. But I didn't give your name away!" The man
said.
Renee An could tell that he had a hidden agenda.
"Really? Thank you!"
"Now that I am fired, no company will accept me. I am not able to stay in this industry anymore!" The
man continued.
As Renee An listened to her phone, she was just getting more and more annoyed. The woman was
completely frustrated by Ralphy Xia, and now the phone call had riled her further, "Really? Then I wish
the best for you in the future!"
The reporter, "……"
The man just didn't know what to say after hearing that.
However, he had no choice but to keep going, "Miss An, I have done you such a great favor, shouldn't
you do something in return? A million to keep this secret for you, it should be a good deal for you!"
What a greedy man!
One million right off the bat?!
Renee An sneered coldly, "Then go ahead and publish it. I don't mind at all!" After saying that, she
hung up right away.
When the reporters heard that, he almost lost in anger!
Even if she didn't want to pay one million, she could simply pay half a million or less! How could she
simply hang up the phone like that!
The more he thought about that, the angrier he got. No way, no matter what, he must make a trip over
there. Otherwise, his sacrifice was just not worthwhile!
After Renee An hung up the phone, she simply threw it away. The woman averted her head and looked
at the coffee house. Ralphy Xia was gone. And she started her car and drove away as well.
Two days passed.
Renee An was still lost and troubled.
One day, she was in a bad mood and she went to the bar in the night.
Ever since breaking up with Ralphy Xia, she would frequent the bars and she would drink herself to
drunkenness every time.
Coincidentally, Ralphy Xia was in the same bar that night. However, he came there for work purposes.
He had a business meeting over there.
The man saw that familiar figure from afar. She was wobbly and it was obvious she had been drinking a
lot.
The man frowned. At that time, he saw a man approached Renee An and spoke to her ear, making
Renee An giggle.
When Ralphy Xia saw that, he felt disturbed.
"President Xia, president Xia…"
At that time, someone called out to him from the back. As Ralphy Xia turned back his head and looked
at the person in front of him, he smiled manneredly.
"President Xia, what were you thinking?"
Ralphy Xia's lips curled up, "It's nothing. President Lee, Cheers!"
President Lee smiled and clinked his glass with him.
After finishing their drink, Ralphy Xia looked at him and said, "President Lee, excuse me as I go to the
washroom. Please enjoy yourself!"
"Okay!" President Lee laughed. They were with a group of others and everyone was having a good
time.
When Ralphy Xia turned his head back to search for Renee An, she was no longer in front of the bar
counter. The man frowned and walked closer.
The woman was no longer in front of the bar counter.
The man looked around and just couldn't find her. But it was just a split second when he turned away.
As he recalled how intimate she was with another man, his eyes dimmed.
At that time, Ralphy Xia walked towards the washroom. The moment he entered the corridor, he saw a
familiar figure leaning against the wall and she seemed to be in discomfort.
The moment Ralphy Xia saw her, his eyes lit up and he hurried towards her. The man stretched out his
hands and held her.
"Are you all right?"
Renee An was feeling a great discomfort. When she heard the familiar voice and raised her head to
see his face, she knew that she wasn't mistaken.
"Why are you here?"
"Are you all right?"
Renee An was simply annoyed as she flung Ralphy Xia's hand away, "It's none of your business. Let
go!"
"It is just dangerous for a girl like you to be here!" Ralphy Xia said.
Renee An tried her best to stand straight and looked at him. The woman was simply irritated, "So
what? What does it have to do with you? If that's the case, you can have your excuse to divorce me!"
The woman yelled.
When Ralphy Xia heard her, he frowned. Finally, he took out his phone and said, "I'll get someone to
send you back!"
When Renee An saw him making the call, she was infuriated. In addition of the effect of alcohol, she
erupted in anger, "That's enough, Ralphy Xia!"
She pushed him away. As the woman glared at him, her expression was all loathful.
"Stop pretending like you care. It is just disgusting. And whatever I do is none of your business!" After
saying that, Renee An pushed him away and wanted to leave.
Ralphy Xia stood behind and watched as she walked away walk wobblingly. The man drew a deep
breath.
He did not follow after her and simply walked back to his own table with president Lee.
Since she was determined to steer clear from him, then… So be it!
Renee An walked out wobblingly and her eyes welled up in tears.
She wasn't good with alcoholic drinks and she would feel very uncomfortable every time she drinks.
And now, the pain in her stomach was just tormenting her.
And that was when she felt even worse.
After getting drunk, her feelings would just surface and the person he cared for the most was clear.
How pathetic!
Undeniably, no matter how much she tried to push Ralphy Xia away, her heart would be roused
whenever she sees him.
Whenever she saw him, she would feel a heart wrenching pain.
Why? Why wasn't she the woman he loves!?
Why must he made her suffer so much?
Why!?!?
The woman was screaming in a heart as she dashed out the bar. She doubled over by the roadside
and puked.
After puking for a long while, she felt much more comfortable.
As she looked at the empty streets and the lonely shadows of the trees, she laughed at herself and
walked back slowly.
The woman didn't noticed that there was a shadow following her.
The reporter knew that Renee An would come here and he had been camping by the door. Once she
came out, he saw her puking for some time. After that, she turned to a direction and walked slowly. The
man had been following her after that.
After she gained some distance away from the bar, the man walked forward.
"Miss An, Miss An…"
When the man approached her from the back so suddenly, Renee An jumped in fright. When she
recognized the person, she frowned.
"It's you!" Renee An looked at her and her eyebrows furrowed in displeasure.
"Yes, glad that you still remember me!" The reporter nodded right away.
"What are you doing here?"
"I…."
"Are you following me?!" Renee An continued to ask.
It was just easy for a reporter to search for her. He looked at Renee An and went straight to the point,
"Miss An, one million for the news, it's a fair deal!" The person looked at Renee An and said.
"Are you out of your mind?" Renee An asked.
"I was fired because I helped you to spread the news. Now the entire A city wouldn't hire me and I have
no choice but to leave the place!" The reporter said in frustration.
"Then why not you just leave? I have paid you already!"
"You simply give me a few thousand dollars and I lost a permanent job!"
"You were the one that took the job willingly. What does that have to do with me?" Renee An said
coldly. She was in a bad mood.
When the reporter heard that, he complained unhappily, "Miss An, can't you just pity me? I have a
family to feed. If I were to lose this job, they will just starve! Why not you just treat it as doing a
charity?"
If it was in normal time, Renee An would definitely be moved by his speech. However, she was just in
the worst possible mood. She was distrustful towards everyone.
"Don't you have parents to take care as well?" Renee An looked at him and asked.
The man was obviously surprised.
Before he said anything, Renee An sneered mockingly, "This is such an old trick. Aren't you ashamed
to use it now? You were the one that didn't do a good job and got found out, that is your problem!" After
saying that, she leered at him coldly and continued to walk away.
The reporter had a grim expression and he just didn't know how to beg her. The man continued to look
at her and said, "Miss An, I have helped you greatly. Not only that, when they forced me to give a
name, I have never told anyone you were the person behind. Why can't you appreciate that?!"
"That is your matter. Feel free to tell them I was the one that spread the news!" The woman was
fearless and she simply didn't care anymore.
When the reporter heard that, he felt that he had lost all leverage on her.
Just for that and he lost his job. Now, he was being mocked and humiliated.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
He looked at her handbag and wanted to snatch it out of anger.
When Renee An saw that, she grabbed her handbag harder and she was alerted, "What are you
doing?!"
"I want to get back what I deserve! Renee An, if I knew that you are a person like this, I would never
help you!"
Renee An didn't care and she simply wanted to pull her handbag back, "Now you are robbing me, it is a
crime!"
"I am simply getting back what I deserve!"
"Let go, let me go!" Renee An was screaming while grabbing hard on her handbag.
However, the man just wouldn't give up. He was determined to salvage any possible value. After all, he
would be leaving this city tomorrow…
"President Lee, thank you. I look forward to working together with you!" Ralphy Xia and president Lee
walked outside the bar and stood at the entrance.
President Lee was tipsy but it was obvious that the man was well pleased, "I look forward to that as
well!" After saying that, the two of them shook their hands.
At that time, Ralphy Xia looked at him and said, "Are you all right? You have been drinking so much, do
you need me to send you back?"
"There's no need for that, I have already arranged a ride!" President Lee waved his hand, "You have
been drinking quite a lot yourself, how can you send me?" President Lee chuckled.
Ralphy Xia simply smiled indifferently. His tanned face was a little flushed.
As they were talking, a car drove in from the distance and parked slowly in front of president Lee.
When president Lee saw the car, he smiled and wanted to get in, "President Xia, let's drink again some
other day!"
"Sure!" Ralphy Xia nodded with a smile. After securing the business deal, he seemed to be in a good
mood. However…
President Lee got into the car wobblingly. Ralphy Xia looked at him and said, "Drive safe!"
President Lee smiled and got inside the car. When Ralphy Xia saw him off, the smile on his face All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
subsided. He looked at his car and walked towards it.
The man kept recalling the earlier scene when he saw Renee An in the bar.
He didn't know where she went.
When he thought about that, he drew a deep breath and casted his thoughts away. He started the car
and drove home.
When he was driving for a short distance, he saw someone quarrelling by the roadside. A man and a
woman. When he drove closer and casted his gaze at the two persons, his eyebrows knitted closely!
Renee An!
The moment Ralphy Xia recognized her, he wasted no time and stopped his car right away. The man
unfastened his seatbelt and hurried down the car.
"What are you doing!?" Ralphy Xia yelled loudly and ran towards them.
When the reporter saw Ralphy Xia approaching, he was anxious and he grabbed Renee An's handbag
and wanted to run away.
Renee An was unwilling to let go.
"Stop, give it back!" She screamed and tried to pull back her handbag, refusing to let go no matter
what.
The reporter turned his head back and glared at her furiously, "Let go!"
"Give it back!" Renee An just wouldn't give in, as if that bag was the most precious thing for her and
she couldn't lose it.
In the end, the reporters panicked. He drew out a pocket knife out of nowhere and wanted to stab
Renee An. At that critical moment, Ralphy Xia leaped forward and hugged Renee An. The man twisted
his body and the knife stabbed right in his abdomen…
That very moment, the world quieted down…
