Chapter 272:
“I disagree.” Rupert’s expression darkened. “Whoever is behind this is by no means simple p>
“That’s true.” Annabel nodded in agreement.
Indeed, what had happened recently was strange. It was as if there was an invisible hand controlling everything.
At present, they still didn’t know who their enemies were. The situation was very disadvantageous to Benton Group.
“Anyway, let’s talk about it when we arrive in France tomorrow.” Rupert’s expression softened. Seeing that Annabel was still frowning, he patted her on the shoulder and said gently, “Get some rest p>
“Okay. Good night.” Annabel finally cracked a small smile.
However, that night, she tossed and turned in bed restlessly.
The following morning, Annabel got up early and washed up quickly. As soon as she stepped out of her room, she heard the doorbell ringing.
Who would come here so early in the morning?
When Rupert opened the door, he found Erica and Cathy standing outside.
“Mom, what are you doing here?” Rupert frowned in confusion.
“What’s wrong? You don’t want to see me?” Erica asked coldly. She was wearing a vibrant orange dress, which made her look youthful.
Without waiting for Rupert’s answer, Erica walked past him and went straight to the living room. Cathy followed her.
“Rupert, don’t you take me seriously?” Erica looked at Rupert with dissatisfaction. “Did you even read the joint letter from the board of directors p>

As Annabel was making her way down the stairs, she overheard Erica’s disgruntled words. Immediately, her curiosity was piqued.

“Dealing with it? How? We asked you to fire Annabel. Why haven’t you fired her?” Erica raised her voice. “Do you want Benton Group to go bankrupt p>
The corner of Annabel’s mouth twitched. The board of directors wanted to fire her? But why?
Rupert looked at his mother gloomily. Then, glancing at his watch, he said coldly, “This has nothing to do with Annabel. I’m going to France in a while. I don’t have the time for this p>
Once again, he was pushing his own mother away. Erica’s expression darkened. As soon as she saw Annabel coming downstairs with her luggage, she asked coldly, “Is she going with you p>
“Yes, I am.” With her luggage in tow, Annabel walked up to Rupert and held his arm. “Why can’t I go with Rupert p>
Seeing the unpleasant scene in front of her, Cathy bit her lip and said, “Rupert, let me go with you p>
“No.” Rupert refused without hesitation.
“Rupert, I’m not joking! I also want to help, you know?” Cathy said anxiously.
Erica agreed. “Cathy’s right. She’ll go with you p>
