Chapter 87:
What sort of problematic woman was this?
But before he could call Finley and ask him to get security to take Nina away, Annabel stepped forward and sneered, “Rupert doesn’t want to see you again. Why are you being so obstinate p>
“Annabel, what are you doing here?” Nina asked, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment. She had not noticed that Annabel was standing beside Rupert until now.
“Is there any problem with me being with my fiancé?” Annabel scoffed, holding Rupert’s arm to prove her point.
With a smile, Rupert stretched out his other hand and took Annabel’s free hand.
Annabel felt the warmth of his touch, and she couldn’t help but blush.
As far as she was concerned, all of this was just an act to drive Nina away. So why was Rupert holding her hand?
Looking at the scene playing out in front of her, Nina became filled with extreme hatred.
“Annabel, it’s you. You took Rupert away from me! If it weren’t for you, Rupert wouldn’t have fired me. Without you, he would have fallen in love with me p>
“Nina, quit dreaming. Rupert would never fall in love with you p>
Annabel found the assertion very funny and childish. What the hell was wrong with Nina?
Meanwhile, Nina was still fuming at the sight of Rupert’s tenderness toward Annabel, which was in sharp contrast to his lack of feeling for her. This only gave rise to sadness, desperation, jealousy, and hate in her heart.
Glaring fiercely at Annabel, Nina suddenly pulled out a knife from her pocket and stabbed at her with all her strength.
Her face twisted and she shouted, “Annabel, go die p>
It all happened so fast.

None of them had expected Nina to have a knife.
The razor-sharp blade was thrust straight at Annabel with heavy force.
Annabel was shocked, but she recovered quickly enough to raise her foot with the intention of kicking the knife away. However, Rupert stepped in front of her.
“Step back!” Rupert cautioned, holding Annabel back with one hand and grabbing Nina’s knife arm with the other.
It had never occurred to Annabel that Rupert would risk his life to protect her. She had already swung her leg by the time he moved in front of her, so she ended up kicking him unintentionally.
This caused Rupert to shift by instinct, making him miss Nina’s hand. As a result, the sharp blade grazed the back of his hand.
“Shit!” Rupert cursed under his breath as both the knife and Annabel’s kick landed at once.
He had not anticipated Annabel’s sudden kick. It took him completely unawares.
“Rupert, are you okay?” Annabel asked in concern when she saw the flash of pain on his face.
She had planned to kick Nina with all her strength, not him.
