Chapter 150
Chapter 150:
She had done it to frame Annabel.
Heather had told her that Rupert was a man who was meticulous about his work. If Annabel made a serious mistake, she would face harsh consequences. For example, if a diamond was lost because it was poorly attached to a dress Annabel was responsible for, there was a good chance she would be fired.
Annie saw a good opportunity to damage Annabel’s reputation, and she seized it.
But she hadn’t expected Annabel to be astute enough to realize what she had done and bold enough to publicly accuse her.
Annie calmed herself with the knowledge that there was no evidence to prove Annabel’s accusation, because she had flushed the button down the toilet.
As Annie became calmer, she also became more confident. She raised her voice and said, “I cut the diamond off? You must be joking. Annabel, tell me, why would I do that? I worked hard to become Benton Group’s spokesperson. They customized this dress for me to wear at today’s shoot. Why would I prevent the shoot from happening p>
“I also want to know why you did that.” Annabel narrowed her eyes and stared coldly at Annie as she considered the woman’s possible motives.
Obviously, what Annie had done was directed against her.
But she had only known Annie for a few days. What reason could she have to be so hostile?
Was it simply because she had criticized Annie at her audition? Was Annie that petty?
If this was an act of vengeance, it was a very stupid one.
Benton Group had only given her this opportunity to be the spokesperson for Brett’s sake.
And it seemed like she was intentionally destroying that very opportunity, along with her reputation.
“Honey, you have to say something.” Annie pursed her lips in grievance and grabbed Brett’s arm. “Annabel made a mistake, and now she wants to pass the blame to me p>

Brett was about to speak, but Rory interrupted him. “Annie, please don’t make accusations without evidence p>
He trusted Annabel unconditionally. She would never make such a stupid mistake.
If Annabel said Annie had cut the diamond off the dress on purpose, then that was what had happened.
Annie saw that Rory was intent on defending Annabel and became even more aggrieved. “Honey, stop them from ganging up on me,” she whined to Brett.
The rest of the people in the room began to ask themselves who was really at fault.
“Annie wouldn’t have done that, would she p>
“Yeah, she had no reason to p>
“So then, Annabel is to blame p>
Annabel smiled sarcastically. Annie was indeed a movie star. Her acting had convinced almost everyone.
She was about to say something when a cold male voice drew the room’s attention.
