Chapter 261:
Annabel nodded in agreement. “I think someone’s trying to frame us p>
“Who?” Rupert asked, furrowing his eyebrows tightly.
Annabel cracked a faint smile. “Who has the most to gain if the Ice and Fire collection is ruined p>
Rupert slightly leaned back in his chair and mused, “Indeed. It’s very likely that Love Jewelry is behind this matter p>
“We can’t rule them out. Well, whatever happens, as long as we investigate it thoroughly, the truth will be revealed soon.” Annabel’s smile widened.
It was not difficult to find out the truth. All they had to do was trace where the woman’s so-called sister bought the necklace, determine whether it contained any radioactive material, and find out whether the necklace had been tampered with.
Indeed, at this stage, Love Jewelry was their biggest suspect. After all, news of the plagiarism incident had spread like wildfire, bringing victory to Benton Group and humiliating defeat to Love Jewelry.
It seemed highly likely that Love Jewelry would resort to dirty tricks to destroy Benton Group.
Rupert called Finley in. “Get to the bottom of this matter by today p>

“I’ll get the best hands to investigate it as soon as possible,” Finley said seriously, and then left.
Meanwhile, Annabel placed a hold on the sale of the Ice and Fire series. The distributed pieces were brought back, and she asked the lab to test all of them.
The results of the investigation soon came out.
In the CEO’s office—
“I’ve got some preliminary results about the Ice and Fire series.” Finley handed the documents containing all he had gathered in the past few days to Rupert.
“What did you find out?” Annabel asked impatiently.
Finley answered, “We were able to confirm that all those who claimed to have been poisoned by the jewelry did indeed buy Ice and Fire products from the authorized distribution channels p>
