Chapter 294:
Annabel looked in the direction of the voice in surprise.
Standing by the door was a familiar figure. Seeing him here, she felt relieved.
It was Rupert!
He was finally here!
To everyone’s surprise, Rupert strode into the conference room.
He exuded a domineering aura as he walked, making those around him feel small and insignificant.
“Rupert Benton’s here!” someone shouted in shock.
“Isn’t he supposed to be in a coma? Why is he here p>
“Oh, my God! It’s really Mr. Benton! He’s fine p>
All of a sudden, the crowd burst into an uproar, and everyone stared at Rupert in utter disbelief.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to someone in the crowd.
“What did Rupert mean by saying that p>
“Marilyn? Love Jewelry? She plagiarized Benton Group’s design, didn’t she p>
“But what does Judson have to do with Love Jewelry p>
“Is Love Jewelry behind this p>
Everyone looked to Rupert for answers.
What was the truth behind the scandal surrounding the Ice and Fire collection?
As Rupert walked through the crowd, the people automatically made way for him. With steady steps, he didn’t stop until he was by Annabel’s side.
He turned his head to look at Annabel. In a soft voice, he said, “I’m here, Annabel p>
Annabel gave him a small smile. There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two.
As for Judson, he was staring at Rupert in disbelief.

Wasn’t Rupert supposed to be in a coma from being knocked out in the explosion?
Why was he here, safe and sound?
“What are you doing here?” Judson exclaimed. “Aren’t you supposed to be in the hospital p>
“It sounds like you don’t want to see me.” Raising his eyebrows, Rupert cast a cold glance at Judson. “Judson, there’s a short video I want to show you. Would you like to watch it p>
“Video? What video?” All the color drained from Judson’s face. Things were not going according to plan at all.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have expected that Rupert would wake up from his coma.
Looking at Rupert, the truth suddenly dawned on Judson. Had Rupert just pretended to be in a coma?
By pretending to be incapacitated, Rupert made him lower his guard. All the while, Rupert and Annabel had been secretly collecting evidence against him. Now, they were about to turn the tables at today’s press conference.
It was all a trap, and Judson had fallen for it.
