Chapter 35:
“Apologize to her,” Rupert said in a deep, cold voice.
The terrifying expression on his face made Heather take a step back.
Clenching her fists, she said very reluctantly, “I’m sorry, Annabel. I shouldn’t have accused you wrongly just now p>
Annabel rubbed her ear and asked, “What did you say? I didn’t hear you p>
Biting back the curses she had for Annabel, Heather took a deep breath and uttered through gritted teeth, “I’m sorry p>
The shame was too much for her to bear. She wanted to disappear on the spot.
Unlike his granddaughter, Brock wasn’t ashamed to apologize. He cleared his throat and said, “I’m sorry for what happened, Annabel. Heather isn’t entirely at fault. It was just one big misunderstanding. Don’t take it to heart, okay p>
“It’s fine. I just hope that next time something like this happens, you will give the accused a listening ear and find out the truth before taking sides. False accusations are very destructive to a person,” Annabel replied with a polite smile.
At this moment, Brock became extremely embarrassed.
He forced a smile and muttered, “Noted. Anyway, are your hands okay? How about I ask someone to take you to the hospital p>
“No, thanks. I’m tired. I’ll take my leave now p>
The whole issue had drained Annabel’s strength. She yawned, picked up her purse, and left under everyone’s gaze.
As she stood by the roadside waiting for a taxi, lightning suddenly flashed and thunder rumbled. The air turned chilly; it was about to rain.
What an unlucky night.
Annabel didn’t have an umbrella, and there was no taxi in sight.
A raindrop suddenly fell on her face, sending a chill through her entire body. Just as she began looking for somewhere to take shelter, a black Bentley pulled up beside her.
It was Rupert’s.
The car door opened, and Rupert’s handsome face came into view.

“Get in,” he said simply.
Annabel was a little stunned.
Why did Rupert leave the party too? Did he purposely leave because of her?
But why?
With a raised eyebrow, Rupert asked, “Are you not getting in p>
“Thank you.” As soon as Annabel sat in the passenger seat, she remembered what had happened the last time. She quickly fastened her seat belt to avoid a repetition.
Rupert swallowed hard. His hands tightened around the steering wheel.
Annabel looked so hot this evening. The red dress she wore accentuated her curves.
One of her thighs was visible through the slit at the side of the dress. Damn, she was just too sexy.
“Where are we going?” Looking out of the window, Annabel realized this was not the way home.
Rupert tilted his head and cast a glance at her. “To the hospital p>
Hospital?
“Why are we going to the hospital?” Annabel was confused.
Rupert frowned. “Have you forgotten that your hands are red and swollen p>
How considerate of him.
