The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 438: Renegotiation

And Alisa once again fell into Old K’s hands.

Old K, with a cruel expression, pressed a gun against Alisa’s head, threatening Julian Hawthorne and his group to surrender.

The scientists responsible for this research were either dead or captured. To continue the research, the secret data Alisa stole was crucial. If not for this, Old K would have already killed Alisa.

At this moment, he was using Alisa to threaten Julian Hawthorne.

Because he knew very well that Julian Hawthorne also wanted those data, and he wouldn’t watch Alisa die.

Alisa bit her lip, her eyes full of fear, constantly looking at Julian Hawthorne, pleading with him.

But she couldn’t open her mouth to beg for mercy; she couldn’t let Julian Hawthorne look down on her.

Moreover, she knew very well that neither Old K nor Julian Hawthorne would let her die.

So there was no need for her to show her weak side at this time.

"President Hawthorne, don’t worry about me, go ahead, don’t let them achieve their goals, don’t let them endanger all mankind!"

It was really noble, and even Alisa felt moved by her own words.

But no matter what, Alisa never expected Julian Hawthorne to actually take action, completely ignoring her as a hostage.

Rescuing Alisa was contingent on securing his own safety.

If he couldn’t save himself, what use was saving Alisa?

This was Julian Hawthorne’s principle, he had to keep himself alive.

And in this world, no one could threaten him, because the one who could threaten him would never do so.

And clearly, Alisa was not that person.

In the end, Alisa was unharmed, but both sides began to clash again.

Alisa was still stunned; she couldn’t believe Julian Hawthorne would disregard her life, acting so decisively.

After all, she had saved him at the risk of her life, and had followed him through life and death these days. How could Julian Hawthorne be so heartless?

This man’s heart was really hard!

Alisa bit her teeth and hid to the side.

In the end, the group ran while fighting against the opposition, gradually escaping Old K’s siege.

And during the escape, two more people sacrificed their lives.

Everyone’s face looked grim, and Julian Hawthorne was no exception.

And at this time, Alisa was still blaming Julian Hawthorne.

"President Hawthorne, why did you treat me like that? I followed you all these days without complaining even once. I thought I was already your comrade in life and death. I didn’t expect that after I was captured, you disregarded my life and shot directly at me. Don’t you feel that such actions make me disheartened?"

No one paid attention to Alisa’s accusations.

If Alisa hadn’t fallen behind, they wouldn’t have gone to rescue her, and two more brothers wouldn’t have died.

Moreover, if they really disregarded Alisa’s life, would they have taken such risks?

What right did Alisa have to blame Julian Hawthorne now?

The atmosphere was very silent, no one spoke, and Alisa felt an indescribable sense of oppression. She bit her teeth, "President Hawthorne, what do you mean?"

Alisa’s gaze swept over others, and suddenly she said: "Are you despising me?"

When the group rushed in to save her at that time, even a blind person would know what had happened before.

Now everyone ignored her, she felt it must be because of that incident.

Especially Julian Hawthorne, he was definitely mindful of such a thing.

Alisa suddenly shed tears; she had always known how to use her tears.

"President Hawthorne, I’m just a woman, a woman who can’t even bind a chicken. In that situation, other than yielding to save my life, what choice did I have? If President Hawthorne dislikes me for being tainted, I..."

Julian Hawthorne stood up without a word, and placed a knife against Alisa’s neck, "Your cleanliness has nothing to do with me?"

Alisa stiffened all over, looking at the expressionless Julian Hawthorne.

And the others quickly stood up, fearing Julian Hawthorne might impulsively deal with Alisa.

Julian Hawthorne coldly said to Alisa, "You better be grateful that what you said before was all true."

Then Julian Hawthorne left.

Alisa suddenly realized that Julian Hawthorne meant she had value, that they saved her without hesitation for this reason.

If what she said was false and she didn’t actually hold any secret data, then what awaited her upon returning to Veridia would be uncertain.

Alisa’s body was gradually getting cold; after taking over The Tell Group, she learned that The Tell Group had been secretly supporting an underground laboratory, which periodically provided The Tell Group with new drugs, and the money earned would be laundered through The Tell Group.

She didn’t plan to cancel the cooperation with this organization, as dealing with the devil isn’t easy to escape from.

This time abroad, she wanted to renegotiate this cooperation as the new leader, but didn’t expect Julian Hawthorne to appear at the critical moment. Under such circumstances, how could she continue working with Old K? That would drag both herself and The Tell Group down, so naturally, she had to side with Julian Hawthorne.

Thus she ran out to block the gun for Julian Hawthorne, becoming his savior, and attributed all of The Tell Group’s underground dealings to the previous leaders, since she wasn’t a core member back then, right? No one could blame her.

Regarding future cooperation with the organization, she didn’t mention it, only saying she was gathering evidence after discovering something was wrong.

Because of these evidences, Old K pursued her, while she also became the object of protection by these people.

For this, many sacrificed to protect her. If there turned out to be no evidence later, these unnecessary deaths would all be blamed on her.

Alisa gritted her teeth, her back straight, "President Hawthorne, rest assured, when Alisa says something, she means it. If I say there is evidence, then there is. Please do not look at me with skeptical eyes; I have no relationship with that organization."

Julian Hawthorne replied with a simple "haha," apparently too lazy to speak any further.

Alisa ran to the side angrily, secretly glancing at Julian Hawthorne after a while. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

She originally hoped Julian Hawthorne would realize his mistake and apologize to her for reconciliation, but unexpectedly, Julian Hawthorne directly led a group to set off again, completely ignoring Alisa’s little tantrum.

Alisa resentfully thought, Julian Hawthorne now ignores her, but she will have the last laugh when he realizes his feelings for her later. Hmph!

She doesn’t believe that after spending so much time together, Julian Hawthorne could really have no feelings for her at all.

By the time they emerged from the jungle, they had eliminated nearly half of Old K’s men, and now approached the coast where they needed a boat to leave the area.

Crossing this sea, there would be people to meet them. If Old K kept following, perhaps they could take the opportunity to eliminate Old K too.

After some effort, they found a boat at the dock and successfully boarded it.
