Chapter 240
Chapter 240:
On the banquet hall’s dance floor, Heather clung tightly to Rupert, her heart pounding in her chest.
This was the first time she had been so close to Rupert.
He was willingly dancing with her. Did it mean that he also loved her?
As this thought crossed her mind, her heart beat even faster.
She looked up and gazed at Rupert’s gorgeous face obsessively.
If only time could stop at this moment.
While Heather was lost in her daydream, Rupert suddenly let her go.
His eyes had never left Annabel. The second he saw her get up and leave, he lost interest in dancing with Heather.
“Rupert, where are you going?” Heather almost fell and hastily caught her balance.
Rupert pushed her away with a blank face and said, “I have something to deal with p>
Heather’s spirits plunged when she noticed that he had regained his usual indifference and detachment.
They had been so close to each other just now. They had been dancing together in perfect sync. Why had he become so aloof with her in just a few minutes?
Why?
She loved Rupert so much.
Why was he so distant?
It was all Annabel’s fault.
Just then, she received a text from Annie.
When she saw Annie’s message informing her that everything had gone according to their plan, she couldn’t stop the smile that spread across her face.
That was great news.

Annabel had taken the bait. They would see a good show soon.
When Rupert saw Annabel having sex with another man and cheating on him in public, he would be furious.
This time, she could get rid of Annabel once and for all.
Rupert shoved Heather away and scrutinized the banquet hall, but he didn’t see Annabel.
He frowned.
What was up with this woman? Didn’t his dancing with Heather bother her at all?
Unable to spot her anywhere, he called her, but her phone was switched off. Rupert tugged on his tie in irritation.
Suddenly, Heather’s voice came from behind him. “Rupert p>
“What is it?” Rupert asked impatiently.
In a hesitant voice, Heather said, “There is something I’m not sure if I should tell you p>
“What’s the matter?” Rupert asked expressionlessly.
“I just saw Annabel with a man…” Heather bit her lower lip and left the sentence hanging on purpose, allowing him to imagine a million different scenarios.
Message from Noa: Good morning, lovely readers. God loves you, and Noa wishes you all the best. ꉂ(˵˃ ᗜ p>
