Chapter 177:
“Finally! I have been trying to reach you for hours!” Finley exclaimed. “Something happened to Annabel p>
Something happened to Annabel?
Rupert frowned. He asked with concern and nervousness, “What’s wrong with her p>
Finley answered, “Cathy testified that Annabel pushed Nina into the lake. She has been taken to the station to make a statement p>
“I’ll be right there.” Rupert strode toward the door the moment he hung up the phone.
“Where are you going, Rupert?” Heather shouted behind him.
She had vaguely heard the names Annabel and Nina as she eavesdropped on the call. She thought that Nina had succeeded with the plan.
Judging from the nervous look on Rupert’s face, Heather guessed that something terrible must have happened to Annabel.
Perhaps Annabel had drowned.
With a smug smile, Heather said, “Rupert, wait for me p>
But Rupert ignored her and walked out of the house.
Heather chased after him and asked with feigned concern, “Rupert, did something happen? You seem to be in a rush. Where are you going? I’ll drive you there so you can get there faster p>
The house was located at the foot of the mountain in the suburbs. Taxis rarely passed by, and the nearest bus stop was several kilometers away.
Rupert was in a hurry.
He thought for a moment and said, “Okay p>
The moment Heather heard this, she eagerly led him to the garage and unlocked her luxury car.
They both got in. Sitting in the driver’s seat, Heather started the engine. She turned her head to look at the man she was infatuated with and asked sweetly, “Where are we headed, Rupert p>

“The police station,” Rupert replied simply, his eyebrows furrowing with worry.
The police station? Why was he going there?
Shouldn’t he be on his way to Lover Lake to see Annabel’s corpse?
Suppressing her doubts, Heather drove at high speed as Rupert urged her impatiently. She sped through one red light after another until they arrived at the police station.
The car had barely stopped when Rupert opened the door and jumped out. He walked straight into the building, completely forgetting who had driven him there.
“Mr. Benton, you’re here!” Finley had been pacing anxiously in the hallway of the station.
“Where is Annabel?” Rupert asked urgently when he did not see her anywhere.
As soon as Rupert spoke, a hush fell over the police station.
