Chapter 273:
Cathy wanted to help?
Annabel highly doubted that.
Thinking about what Cathy had done to Rupert that night he got drunk, Annabel smiled sarcastically. “I’m afraid she’ll be more of an obstacle. What can she do to help p>
“What’s that supposed to mean, Annabel?” Cathy asked sourly, though she secretly felt embarrassed.
When she was about to say something more, she was silenced by Rupert’s cold voice.
“Enough.” Impatient, Rupert pushed Cathy away. “You just need to focus on your studies. You don’t need to worry about Benton Group p>
Unconvinced, Cathy retorted, “How come Annabel gets to go with you but I can’t p>
“It was Grandpa’s idea. Ask him why you can’t go.” Rupert didn’t want to argue with them anymore, so he mentioned Bruce.
Biting her lower lip, Cathy looked to Erica for help. “Aunt p>
Erica suddenly stood up and shot Rupert an angry look. “Fine. Since this is your grandfather’s idea, I won’t say anything more. But know this: if the company continues to suffer losses because of Annabel, I won’t let her go p>
“Mom, just take Cathy home.” Rupert asked them to leave flatly.
Exasperated, Erica left with Cathy in a huff.
“Auntie, Rupert doesn’t respect you at all. He wasn’t like this before. It’s all Annabel’s fault!” Cathy grumbled, adding more fuel to the fire. “I don’t know what Rupert sees in her. He’s so obsessed with her that he doesn’t care about his family anymore. If he marries her, what will happen to us p>
Erica sneered unhappily. “Cathy, don’t worry. I won’t let Rupert marry that woman p>
While watching them leave, Annabel felt a little uneasy.
Over the past month, she had worked hard for the interests of Benton Group, but Erica and the rest of the board of directors wanted to fire her.

It was so disappointing.
With a cold look in her eyes, Annabel glanced at Rupert and said calmly, “Don’t worry. I’ll be leaving in two months. Then your mom will stop making things so difficult for you p>
At the mention of Annabel leaving, Rupert’s expression darkened.
Did she want to leave because of what his mother had said just now? Or was it because p>
“Annabel, my mother is just like that. Please don’t take her words seriously.” As he spoke, Rupert stepped forward and placed his hand on Annabel’s shoulder.
His eyes held unfathomable emotion. In a hoarse voice, he added, “Trust me. I’ll deal with my mother, and I won’t let her make things difficult for you p>
When Annabel’s eyes met Rupert’s, her heart skipped a beat.
