Chapter 80
Chapter 80:
Earlier in the day, she had confirmed that Talia had resigned and returned to the countryside. So why was she here now?
“Talia, did you steal the drawings in my folder and replace them with blank sheets?” Annabel asked calmly.
Talia nodded and said, “Yes p>
“Why did you do that?” Annabel pressed.
Talia lowered her eyes and murmured, “Someone gave me five hundred thousand and asked me to replace the drawings p>
“Who was it? Is that person in this room?” Annabel asked.
“Yes. It’s her!” Talia said, suddenly pointing at Nina. “She paid me to do it p>
“Don’t throw false accusations at me. Did Annabel ask you to frame me? I’m sure Annabel bribed you!” Nina shouted in panic, trying to blame Annabel as much as she could.
Seeing how anxious Nina was, Annabel smiled.
Everything was going smoothly according to her plan.
Days ago, when she heard Nina and Heather’s call in the bathroom, she knew that the two of them were conspiring against her.
She asked Anthony to secretly eavesdrop on Nina’s phone and eventually learned that Nina’s plan was to steal the drawings in an attempt to make Rupert expel Annabel from Benton Group for dereliction of duty.
Knowing that Talia’s son was seriously ill and in urgent need of money, Nina had planned to hire her to steal the drawings.
Later, Annabel found Talia and also contacted the doctor who had treated her as a child, asking him to help treat Talia’s son.
Soon, the child began to get better and better. Talia was very grateful. With tears in her eyes, she thanked Annabel profusely and promised to do anything for her.
Annabel came up with an idea. She asked Talia to accept Nina’s money, promise her that she would steal the drawings, and secretly collect evidence during the process.
This was all she needed to deal with Nina.

Nina wanted to set her up and force her out of the company, so she would simply do the same thing back to her.
“Talia, did I tell you to set her up?” Annabel asked casually.
Talia seemed to find the idea ridiculous and shook her head quickly. “No. She instructed me to steal your drawings p>
“Nonsense!” Nina shouted in denial. “What did Annabel bribe you with? Why are you accusing me falsely and shamelessly p>
“I didn’t accuse you falsely. This is the recording of the conversation we had when you gave me money to replace the drawings.” As she spoke, Talia took a recorder pen out of her pocket.
When Rupert saw the pen, a hint of surprise flashed across his handsome face.
He had seen this recording pen in Annabel’s room before.
Was it Annabel who had given it to Talia?
In other words, Annabel had already seen through Nina’s scheme.
Clearly, all of Talia’s actions and the way she turned against Nina had been arranged by Annabel.
Talia held the recorder pen and pressed the switch. Immediately, the conversation between the two began to play.
“Talia, I’ve transferred 250 thousand dollars to your account. After that, I’ll give you another 250 thousand. With this money, you can have your son treated. With the rest, you can raise him to be strong, healthy, and comfortable p>
