Chapter 99:
“Annabel, what are you talking about?” Cathy grumbled, looking as if she had been deeply wronged. She turned to Rupert. “This is the breakfast your mom made for you. She was afraid that you would be too tired after spending so much time at work yesterday, so she asked me to bring it to you. Now it’s all been wasted because of Annabel p>
But before Cathy could finish her statement, Rupert interrupted her impatiently, “Come on, Cathy. Do you think I’m blind p>
“What?” Cathy did not expect such a response.
“Look, I saw what happened just now. Annabel didn’t touch you at all,” Rupert said with a frown.
He had not seen anything, but his intuition told him that Annabel was not that kind of person.
Cathy, on the other hand, had learned from her mother how to exploit situations and manipulate people.
“Rupert… it’s not like that.” Cathy tried to defend herself. She hadn’t expected Rupert to debunk her story. From that angle, he shouldn’t have seen what actually happened.
“Don’t waste your time with this kind of thing. Pay more attention to your studies, okay?” Rupert advised her.
Cathy stared at him in shock and disbelief. Annabel, on the other hand, seemed very satisfied with Rupert’s response, and she gave him a thumbs up. “Well, since the truth is out, I think I’ll go to work now.” With that, she turned around and walked out.
Watching Annabel’s retreating figure, Cathy became filled with discontent and disgust. After Annabel had gone out of sight, she turned to Rupert. “You know your mom doesn’t like her. Why p>
“Grandpa likes her,” Rupert cut her off, fixing her with a cold glance. “I hope this will be the last time you ever give her trouble. Understood p>
“Just because Grandpa likes her?” Cathy scoffed. “What about you, Rupert? Do you like her p>
Stories live now on
“It’s none of your business,” Rupert said coldly.
His aloof attitude made Cathy feel sad.
She hoped that Rupert didn’t like Annabel and that it was just because of his grandfather that he accepted Annabel as his fiancée.
But… the way he looked at Annabel just now was so full of affection.
Cathy had never seen Rupert look at anyone like that before.
“Anything else?” Rupert asked all of a sudden, knocking her out of her reverie.
When Cathy came back to reality, her eyes fell on the bandage on his right hand and she asked in concern, “Rupert, what’s wrong with your hand p>
“Nothing. I just got hurt a little,” Rupert said expressionlessly.
“Hurt? How could you get hurt? Is it serious?” Cathy asked, sounding very nervous and worried.
How could he have gotten hurt? No wonder he didn’t go to work. What could be the reason he got hurt? Did it have anything to do with Annabel?
“No. Make sure you don’t tell my mom,” Rupert warned in a low voice.
“I won’t,” Cathy promised. “Why didn’t Annabel stay and take care of you? Is there anything more important to her than you are p>
