Chapter 98:
In the past, only when Bruce was sick would Rupert cook breakfast just to cheer him up.
But now, he was cooking breakfast for Annabel.
Cathy became very jealous. Seeing that Annabel was still ignoring her, she raised her voice and said, “Annabel, I’m asking you. Where is my cousin p>
Annabel didn’t say anything until after finishing her breakfast. Then she wiped her mouth and stood up. “Excuse me, please,” she said, asking Cathy to get out of her way.
“Annabel, who do you think you are?” Cathy fumed, refusing to let Annabel pass. Jealousy and contempt were obvious in her eyes as she shouted, “You’re just a bumpkin from the countryside. You don’t deserve my cousin at all p>
Recalling the time she caught Cathy kissing Rupert while he slept, Annabel asked sarcastically, “If I don’t deserve him, then who does? You p>
“Annabel, don’t talk nonsense!” Cathy shouted.
Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a tall figure walking toward the dining room. Suddenly, she screamed and fell to the floor. “Annabel, why did you push me p>
The mug in Cathy’s hand fell to the floor, and the breakfast she brought was overturned and scattered across the tiles.
Annabel was puzzled. When had she pushed Cathy? Cathy had clearly fallen on her own.
“What’s the matter?” Rupert asked when he heard the noise.
As he came into the dining room, Cathy quickly put on an act for his benefit. Her face turned pale and tears streamed down her cheeks. “Rupert, Annabel pushed me so hard p>

It was clearly a deliberate effort to make Annabel look bad.
“When did I push you?” Annabel sneered.
Still looking at Rupert with her pitiful eyes, Cathy tried desperately to play the victim. “Please don’t blame her. You know, your mom asked me to move Annabel’s things to the guest room back then. It’s only natural for her to still be angry with me p>
Cathy changed her strategy. She suddenly became the understanding victim.
Annabel felt sick to her stomach as she watched Cathy spew all these lies against her. With a smile, she said sarcastically, “Save it. Rupert won’t believe what you said p>
Cathy tried her best to maintain her pitiful expression even though she was mad at Annabel deep in her heart. “Annabel, I know you hate me, but what can I do? I can’t refuse to do what Auntie asks me to do. I didn’t want to do it, but I had no choice. You can be angry with me, beat me, scold me, and push me as many times as you want. But the breakfast was made by Auntie for Rupert. Now, it’s on the floor p>
“Cathy, you’re so good at acting. Why don’t you sign up to be an actress? The entertainment industry owes you an Oscar,” Annabel mocked, looking at her with a cold expression.
