Chapter 258
Chapter 258:
Heather took a bowl of soup to the study downstairs and knocked on the door.
“May I come in?” she asked sweetly.
“Yes,” Hooper called from inside.
Heather pushed the door open and put the soup on the table. “I can’t believe you’re still working at this late hour. I asked the cook to make some soup. Eat it while it’s still hot p>
Hooper looked down at the soup and asked bluntly, “What do you want p>
“Hooper, what on earth are you thinking about?” Heather held Hooper’s arm and shook it. “I just care about your health p>
But this only served to make Hooper more suspicious. Every time Heather tried to butter him up, she would ask for money or some shiny new thing. He didn’t know what his troublesome sister was up to this time around.
“Quit beating around the bush. What do you want?” Hooper snapped, rubbing his aching temples.
Heather smiled brightly. “Here’s the thing. You and Grandpa always say that I don’t do anything and just have fun all day long. Now, I want to get a job p>
“Oh? That’s easy. You can p>
“Choose any position in Norman Group.” Hooper was a little surprised that his unruly sister wanted to work out of the blue.
“No, Norman Group will be too boring. Everyone there knows that I’m your sister, so it won’t be a challenge at all.” Heather shook her head decisively. “I want to work for Benton Group p>
Now Hooper finally knew what his sister was up to. She claimed that she wanted to work, but in fact, she just wanted Rupert.
“No.” Hooper knew very well that Rupert would never agree to let Heather work for him.
But Heather refused to give up. “Why? I love Rupert! How could you not help me with something as small as this? Are you my brother or not p>

Hooper pursed his lips. “Don’t you know that Rupert’s already engaged p>
“To a fucking bumpkin!” Heather exploded in anger. “She can’t even begin to compare with me! How can she marry Rupert p>
Hooper looked at her indifferently. “Annabel? I think she’s pretty good p>
Heather stamped her feet indignantly. “How dare you side with her? I’m your sister! You know I love Rupert. If I can become Rupert’s fiancée, the cooperation between Benton Group and Norman Group will run even more smoothly, won’t it? Hooper, if you don’t help me, I’ll kill myself in front of you p>
To prove her point, Heather grabbed the fruit knife on the table.
Hooper hurriedly grabbed Heather’s hand and yelled, “Stop p>
“So you’ll help me?” Heather asked sweetly, the ferocious look on her face disappearing in the blink of an eye.
“I’ll help you find a way.” When dealing with the unreasonable Heather, Hooper was absolutely helpless.
After all, he only had one sister.
Before Hooper could find a way to convince Rupert, something bad happened to Benton Group.
