Chapter 119:
“No, thanks.” Rupert pushed Cathy’s hand away. “I already have ointment p>
Noticing Cathy’s disappointed expression, Annabel chimed in, “Rupert only uses the ointment I brought for him. Right, babe p>
Rupert softly agreed with a hum.
Babe?
Cathy mentally cursed Annabel for being shameless.
Clenching her jaw, Cathy forced herself to calm down.
“Annabel, are you still angry with me?” Cathy lowered her gaze to the floor, pretending to look pitiful. “I think you’ve misunderstood me. Rupert’s mom insisted on coming to the company to meet you yesterday, and I couldn’t change her mind. She was very concerned about Rupert. After all, he was injured while trying to save you. Her fury was understandable. Please don’t be angry, Annabel p>
Seeing how Cathy tried to absolve herself of the whole thing, Annabel sneered, “Really? You were the one who told her about Rupert’s injury, weren’t you p>
“I didn’t…” Cathy bit her lower lip, wanting to say more, but Rupert cut her off.
“All right, Cathy. Go back to school. Don’t come here for trivial reasons in the future.” Rupert’s tone was icy and blunt as he ordered her to leave.
Cathy’s spirits plunged. Unconvinced, she tried again. “Rupert, I came here especially to give you this ointment p>
“Didn’t you already say that? You don’t need to worry about your cousin’s injury. He gave you that advice for your own good. He asked you to concentrate on your studies and not get distracted by other matters,” Annabel said with a smile.
Cathy resisted the urge to tear Annabel’s face apart in front of Rupert and instead said, “Rupert, I’m leaving now. You’d better keep this ointment. It might come in handy in the future p>
She placed the ointment on the table, turned on her heel, and left.
Glancing at the ointment lying on the table, Annabel said, “Your cousin specially brought this ointment for you. Shouldn’t you put it away p>
Your next tale lives on g Ɐ lnσ ν𝒆 ℓs, com
“No need,” Rupert replied indifferently.
To Annabel’s surprise, he tossed the ointment straight into the trash can.
“Why did you throw it away?” Annabel asked, baffled.
Rupert gazed at her intently and said in a playful tone, “Didn’t you say that I would only use the ointment you bought p>
Annabel was speechless.
Out in the hallway, Cathy heard a dull thud behind her. She froze as a torrent of emotions surged through her. Rupert had thrown away the ointment she had specially brought him.
It was all Annabel’s fault.
Jealousy raged in Cathy’s heart. She couldn’t wait to drive Annabel away.
However, Annabel had Rupert’s protection, and even his mother could no longer drive a wedge between them.
Cathy was suddenly struck with an idea.
She was not the only one who wanted Annabel gone.
For example, Heather also wanted to get rid of Annabel.
