Chapter 206:
“Can we leave now?” Rupert’s voice came from the other end.
Annabel looked at the time and found that it was already well past closing hour.
“Okay.” Annabel nodded. She did not want to keep Bruce waiting.
In the car, Rupert was behind the wheel, his eyes fixed on the road.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Annabel looked out of the window.
Suddenly, Rupert’s phone rang. It was Finley.
After putting on his wireless earphone, Rupert answered in a low voice, “What’s up p>
“Sir, I just found out who took down the post,” Finley said. “It was done by a famous hacker simply known as Anthony p>
“Anthony?” Rupert frowned.
This person’s identity was a mystery. Rupert had heard of him before.
“Did you find out why he did it?” Rupert asked flatly.
“No, sir. I’m still on it,” Finley answered honestly. “I think he just wanted to show off p>
“Just continue investigating.” Something smelled fishy to Rupert. He narrowed his eyes and continued driving.
When Annabel heard Anthony’s name, she frowned subconsciously.
Why did Rupert have Anthony investigated?
Did he find out about the connection between her and Anthony?
Was her other identity about to be exposed?
Annabel held her breath, thinking Rupert might question her. But he did not. He simply drove straight to his grandfather’s house.
Before they could enter the house, Dolly came running toward them.
It jumped in front of Annabel and circled her, wagging its tail wildly.

“Oh, you remember me!” Annabel squatted down and stroked Dolly’s fur.
“Woof! Woof! Woof!” Dolly barked, nuzzling into her hand.
“Anna, even Dolly misses you,” Bruce said with a smile, stroking his beard. “You should come here more often. It seems like ages since I last saw you p>
“Okay, Grandpa!” Rupert replied before Annabel could say anything.
Annabel was speechless. When did he become her spokesman? Why did he agree on her behalf?
“Come on in.” Holding Dolly in his arms, Bruce ushered them inside. “Anna, sit here for a while. Dinner will be ready soon p>
“Okay,” Annabel nodded obediently.
“You two will stay the night. No objections!” Bruce ordered, wagging his index finger slowly.
Earlier in the day, Bruce had been on the phone with Leonard. The two old friends agreed that Annabel and Rupert were not getting closer as fast as they wanted. They decided that Bruce should keep a close eye on them and make a concerted effort to bring them closer.
“Okay,” Rupert agreed without hesitation.
