Chapter 179:
Fiancee?
Both the police chief and the policewoman were shell-shocked.
Annabel had to be someone important since Rupert had come to the police station to pick her up, but they hadn’t expected her to be his fiancee.
Now that Rupert had personally arrived to collect her, it only confirmed that Annabel was not the murderer.
The police chief immediately nodded and said, “Sure. Mr. Benton, don’t worry. We will uncover the truth p>
Rupert nodded.
When Rupert and Annabel left the confession room, they happened to bump into Cathy, who had just finished giving her statement and was leaving another room.
As soon as Cathy spotted Rupert, she rushed to him and exclaimed, “Rupert, you’re here p>
Her face darkened as she pointed at Annabel and said, “Rupert, Annabel pushed Nina into the lake today. I witnessed it with my own eyes. Why are you still with this murderer p>
Annabel frowned. Would Cathy stop accusing her of being a murderer? She had reached her limit.
Did she really think she could twist the truth with just a few words?
She was so stupid.
Annabel said grimly, “Cathy, I came to the police station to give a statement, just like you. Please don’t label me a murderer, or I will sue you for defamation p>
“I saw it happen with my own eyes. How can it be called slander?” Cathy retorted. She turned to the police chief and said, “Annabel is the murderer. How can you release her? Why don’t you throw her into prison p>
The chief was at a loss for words.
What were they doing?
Rupert’s cousin was claiming that his fiancée was a killer.
This was so bizarre.
The conduct of a wealthy family was truly beyond the comprehension of the common man.
“Enough, Cathy. The police will discover the truth. I don’t want to hear any rumors about Annabel before the truth comes out,” Rupert said frostily, scowling.
He did not believe that Annabel would push Nina into the lake.
On the contrary, he believed Nina must have engineered this accident and deserved her fate.
She had already attempted to kill Annabel in the garage, which was the best proof.
“Rupert…” Cathy bit her lower lip and stared at him in disbelief.
She had already stepped forward to testify against Annabel. Why was Rupert still helping her?
Rupert ignored Cathy, glanced at Annabel, and said, “Let’s go p>
As Annabel noticed Heather standing behind Rupert, her heart sank and her mind flashed back to the phone call from the previous night.
