Chapter 257
Chapter 257:
“It’s not going to happen.” After saying that, Annabel turned around and walked out of the CEO’s office without looking back.
But her heart was racing in her chest.
What did Rupert mean by that? Did he want her to stay?
What about Candy?
Annabel kept telling herself that the reason Rupert asked such a question was because she looked like Candy.
And she refused to be someone else’s substitute.
Over the next few days, everything seemed to be going well.
Nina was sentenced to one year in prison for intentional injury.
Ice and Fire had achieved unprecedented success. Brett was very satisfied with the way the cooperation was managed and took his assistant back with him to France.
And thanks to Marcel’s incessant invites, Anika traveled in Douburgh for a few days and then returned to France.
The Ice and Fire jewelry series became famous overnight. Benton Group surpassed Love Jewelry, making it the new leader in the jewelry industry. As a result, both the Benton Group’s factory as well as the branch factory in France worked overtime to manufacture the Ice and Fire jewelry series. Because Annabel was also in charge of the Ice and Fire project, she received a lot of praise from Rupert.
Now was her time to shine.
In the Norman family’s villa,
Seeing that Annabel appeared on TV with Rupert frequently, Heather was infuriated. She grabbed a vase on the table and smashed it on the floor, shouting madly, “Annabel! Annabel! It’s that goddamned Annabel again! What the fuck is so good about her p>
Bella was shocked by Heather’s reaction, but she quickly regained her senses and tried to comfort her. “Heather, don’t worry. Annabel’s just lucky, that’s all. But her luck will run out sooner or later. I think Rupert just wants a new toy. One day, he’ll get tired of her and kick Annabel out. By then, he’ll marry you p>
gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․çom has it all
“But how long do I have to wait?” Heather spat. “How the hell is that country bumpkin any better than me p>
“She can’t compete with you at all!” Bella said knowingly. “She just has the upper hand because she works and lives with Rupert. She probably does everything she can to seduce him p>
“So what should I do? Find a way to destroy her!” Heather was so jealous that she wished Annabel would disappear without a trace.
“Heather, how about you work for Benton Group?” Bella suggested, scratching her chin thoughtfully. “That way, you can monitor Annabel. She won’t have any room to play tricks. And you’ll also have more time to spend with Rupert. He’ll quickly realize that you’re a thousand times better than Annabel. By then, he’ll dump that bumpkin in a heartbeat and chase you instead p>
“That’s actually a good idea…” Heather nodded with rare satisfaction.
But how would she find a way into Benton Group?
It seemed that she had no choice but to beg her brother for help.
