Chapter 84:
Wasn’t Annabel the CEO’s fiancee?
Why was the CEO investigating his fiancee? It was so strange.
When he got no response from the surprised and confused Finley, Rupert shouted at him, “Hurry up p>
“Yes, sir,” Finley responded with a start and jumped up to go carry out the errand.
An hour later, Finley came back looking anxious.
“Mr. Benton, I’ve checked it p>
“What’s the result?” There was a hint of eagerness in Rupert’s voice.
Finley handed him the information, saying, “I only found this p>
Rupert took the document from him and read the few words on it.
Annabel, 20 years old, lived in the suburb of Georgia.
Except for this little information, there was not even basic data about her parents or educational background.
“That’s all?” Rupert asked, his eyes narrowing in displeasure. “No other information p>
Finley scratched his head in embarrassment and shifted from one foot to the other. “I’m sorry, sir. I can’t find anything else p>
“Fine. You can leave now,” Rupert said dismissively.
When Finley was gone, Rupert sat back and fell into deep thought.
If Finley of all people couldn’t find any solid information about her, then it was clear that his fiancée was not an ordinary individual.
The only option he had left was to ask his grandfather about it.
Since Annabel had been arranged for him by Bruce, he would probably know her very well.
Rupert walked out to his car and drove all the way to Bruce’s house. When he got there, he saw Bruce watering the flowers in the garden.
“Rupert, aren’t you supposed to be at the company at this time? How come you have time to visit me?” Bruce asked, quite surprised to see his grandson all of a sudden.
“Grandpa, I’m here to visit you. How are you feeling?” Rupert asked, taking the kettle from the old man’s hand and helping him water the flowers.

“I’m fine,” Bruce said, looking at his grandson, who seemed absent-minded. “Tell me, what do you want from me p>
He knew his grandson very well. Rupert was a workaholic. If it wasn’t something very important, he wouldn’t have come during working hours.
“Grandpa, can you tell me who Annabel really is?” Rupert asked without preamble.
Bruce tilted his head and looked at Rupert. So, his grandson had left his work only to ask about Annabel?
It seemed the young man was interested in her.
“What? You finally found out how good she is?” Bruce asked with a smile.
“I’m just curious.” Rupert shrugged. “She’s very different from what I thought p>
“You have to find it out by yourself. I can only tell you that though I’m old, I’m still in full possession of all my faculties, and I would never choose the wrong girl as my granddaughter-in-law,” Bruce said, stroking his beard proudly.
“All right p>
Seeing that his grandfather would not tell him what he wanted to know, Rupert didn’t bother to ask anymore.
He said goodbye and left.
