Chapter 254:
Rupert watched her with a smile and said, “Don’t you remember what happened last night p>
Last night?
What on earth happened last night?
Annabel looked at Rupert warily. Rubbing her temples, she gradually recalled the events of the previous night.
Last night, she had met up with Anika for drinks at the bar. Later, Elian had drugged her. Fortunately, Rupert had shown up out of the blue and whisked her away. At the time, she had been burning up and soon passed out. Vaguely, she recalled being intimate with Rupert.
As soon as she remembered this, Annabel stiffened and checked herself nervously. But she didn’t find anything unusual.
Still, Annabel asked with some uneasiness, “Last night… did you do anything to me p>
Seeing the adorably nervous look on her face, Rupert raised his eyebrows and asked, “Were you hoping that I did something p>
“Of course not!” Annabel snapped, glaring at Rupert unhappily.
But all the same, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was lucky that Rupert had saved her last night.
She shuddered at the thought of what would’ve happened otherwise.
All of a sudden, Rupert started to cough violently.
“What’s the matter with you? Are you sick?” Annabel asked in confusion.
Rupert cleared his throat and steadied his breath. “I caught a cold p>

“Huh? How?” Annabel asked with concern.
As far as she knew, Rupert was very healthy. And he had been fine yesterday. How did he suddenly catch a cold?
Rupert gave Annabel a meaningful look and answered, “Thanks to you p>
If this silly woman hadn’t held him so tightly last night, he wouldn’t have needed to take a cold shower. Consequently, he caught a cold.
“What on earth are you talking about?” Annabel asked, utterly confused. She was a smart girl, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t figure out how she had anything to do with Rupert’s cold.
Over breakfast, Annabel was focused on her phone, browsing through the latest news. Suddenly, a headline caught her attention.
“Last night, law enforcement arrested a group of thugs who endangered the safety of the public p>
There were also some pictures attached. They showed the group of people Elian had led and who had pestered Annabel last night.
Annabel put down her phone and looked at the man sitting opposite her, who was eating breakfast elegantly. “You had Elian arrested p>
“So what if I did?” Rupert stopped eating and smiled at her meaningfully.
