Chapter 154:
How could this be?
Why did this happen?
The plan had been flawless. How had Annabel seen through it so easily? She had not known about the special material on the diamond buttons.
“Annabel, you must have done it. You set me up on purpose, right?” Annie cried out unwillingly.
“If you didn’t want people to know, then you shouldn’t have done it. But you did do it, and now you have to admit it.” With a sneer, Annabel released Annie’s arm. “Annie, you disappoint me p>
Brett went to Annie’s side, his blue eyes like pools of disappointment.
It had not been appropriate to appoint Annie as the spokesperson, but since she had been so persistent, he had decided to give her a chance.
However, Annie had failed to cherish the opportunity and created enough trouble to disgrace him.
“No, no, listen to me, honey. I didn’t do it.” Brett’s public rejection was making Annie hysterical. She grabbed his arm tightly. “Listen to me. I didn’t do it. Annabel framed me p>
Brett spared Annie a glance, then looked to her agent. “Tell me, what’s the truth?” His expression was foreboding, and the aura he exuded was terrifying. “If you lie to me, I’ll make sure you regret it for the rest of your life p>
The agent blanched. She knew that Brett was a man of his word. If she dared to lie, her life would essentially be over.
Annabel had already proved Annie had cut the diamond button from the dress.
Even if she lied for Annie, she would be refuted immediately.
It was also true that Annie had a terrible temper and often ordered her to do things on a whim without regard for the consequences. She had been working for her long enough to know that.
What was the point of defending Annie? It made no sense to get herself in trouble with Brett and Rupert for her sake.

She decided to tell the truth.
She cleared her throat and said, “Mr. McCoy, the diamond button was indeed cut from the dress by Annie in the fitting room p>
Annie was furious. “How dare you?” she shouted at her agent.
“Annie, I’m just telling the truth. I don’t want to betray my conscience,” replied the agent. “I don’t know why she did it, though p>
“Where is the button now?” Annabel asked.
“Annie flushed it down the toilet,” the agent answered honestly.
“No, you’re lying. I didn’t. I didn’t do it.” Annie bit her lip and continued to murmur protests.
“Do you want me to get someone to fetch the button from the sewer?” Annabel sneered.
Annie was shameless. Even now, she persisted in denying the truth.
Rupert suddenly broke his silence, looking to Finley and saying, “Send someone to look for the button.” His voice was deep and commanding.
