Chapter 191:
She quickly opened the door and left the room.
The two employees at the door were stunned as she darted past them. They stared at her back.
“Isn’t that Annabel?” one of them asked curiously.
“Yes. Did she come here to hide because of the rumor? I guess she’s guilty. I can’t believe a murderer is working in this company. How dare she show up to work after what she did p>
“You two are fired p>
A cold voice cut through their gossip.
The gossiping women jumped when they saw Rupert glaring at them. Their ever-so-cold CEO looked even more terrifying than usual. The temperature in the break room seemed to drop to zero because of his presence.
Rupert walked out of the break room with both hands in his pockets, leaving the two employees stunned.
As soon as Annabel returned to her desk, she received a call from the cop, Apollo.
“Hello, officer. To what do I owe this call?” Annabel answered the phone and asked politely.
“Nina is awake,” Apollo said in a somewhat serious voice.
“Really?” Annabel asked.
“Yes. As soon as she regained consciousness, we went over to hear her side of the story. She insisted that you pushed her into the lake,” Apollo said, his tone more serious.
“Oh, I see,” Annabel replied with a slight frown.
She wasn’t surprised at all. She hadn’t expected Nina to tell the truth. After all, the woman didn’t like her one bit.
It was ironic that Annabel was being framed by the very person whose life she had saved.

Apollo continued, “Pending the completion of the investigation, you shouldn’t leave Douburgh. You can be summoned to the station at any time. Don’t worry, we will find out the truth p>
Annabel nodded. “All right, officer p>
The news about Annabel being an attempted murderer didn’t die down, even though Rupert’s men were working tirelessly.
After Nina woke up and claimed that Annabel had pushed her, the story went viral again. Many reporters gathered at the hospital, trying to interview Nina.
It was past visiting hours, so they weren’t allowed into the building.
A reporter who had managed to get Nina’s phone number called her. “Word on the street is that you were pushed into Lover Lake by Annabel, the fiancée of Benton Group’s CEO. Is that true p>
Nina began to shed crocodile tears. “Yes, it’s true. I didn’t fall into the water by accident. Annabel pushed me. She wanted to kill me. I heard that she’s still roaming freely. Please use your platform to demand justice for me p>
“Can you tell us more details? Why did Annabel try to kill you? Have you two had any conflicts before p>
“It’s a long story. How about this? Come to my ward tomorrow so we can talk face to face,” Nina said.
