Chapter 232:
“Finley found it.” Rupert narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned. “Unearthing the culprit was just a walk in the park. Only a few people knew about the Ice and Fire design p>
“How can that be? Archie didn’t take part in the project.” Annabel was confused.
“But Anais did. Archie is Anais’s boyfriend,” Rupert explained.
“Oh, I see!” Annabel exclaimed. “But why did he do that? He must have known that his actions could cost him his job and even Anais’s. Why did he risk it p>
“Well, money can make a greedy person do anything,” Rupert said with a shrug.
Archie betrayed his girlfriend for money?
Maybe money was indeed a factor. But Annabel couldn’t shake off the thought that there was more to this.
As Annabel tried to fathom things, Rupert suddenly said, “It’s my turn to question you now p>
“Huh?” Annabel jolted back to reality. “What do you want to ask p>
“What’s between you and Anika? And when did you sign the authorization agreement?” Rupert leaned in close and whispered in her ear. “Why didn’t you inform me p>
Annabel was stunned. She couldn’t tell him that she was Leo.
After failing to come up with a perfect lie, she looked up at him with big eyes and said playfully, “Take a guess p>

“What do you mean?” Bella asked curiously.

Heather whispered something into her friend’s ear and capped it off with, “That’s my big surprise for Annabel tonight. She will be degraded when the time comes p>
Bella’s eyes lit up after she finally understood the plan. She gave her a thumbs up and said, “Girl, you are so smart! With this plan, we will be able to deal with”
Annabel tonight without anyone suspecting us. I love it p>
“Of course I’m smart,” Heather said with a flip of her hair. “As long as Annie succeeds, we will just wait for a while before sending Rupert and the reporters over. He will see that his so-called fiancée is actually a slut p>
Bella nodded. “Rupert is a proud man. He would never stay engaged to a woman who dares to sleep with someone else in public. I’m sure he will break off the engagement there and then p>
“Even though he’s currently under her spell, he will come to his senses once he sees that she’s a whore,” Heather said, smiling evilly.
“Yes, he will surely drive that bitch away. And then, he will come back to you. Girl, be prepared to take your rightful place, which is by Rupert’s side!” Bella flattered her.
Heather smiled more brightly and looked around the hall. “By the way, where is Annie? I haven’t seen her yet. Hasn’t she arrived p>
