Chapter 189:
Anthony immediately understood. “All right, I’m on it. Await good news soon p>
After hanging up the phone, Annabel’s eyes turned cold.
Her initial plan had been to live a peaceful life in Douburgh for three months. However, it seemed that would not be possible now.
Annabel was not a pushover. She could not just sit back and watch someone drag her down.
She had woken up early that morning. After being pestered by Talia and her cohorts for so long, she now felt a little sleepy.
Yawning, Annabel stood up and went to get herself a cup of coffee from the break room.
In the hallway, many employees stole glances at her and whispered to each other.
“Do you think the rumor is true? Did this gentle-looking woman push Nina into the lake p>
“Don’t be deceived by looks. Since the news is going viral, it must be true p>
“Well, we can’t say for sure. Anyone can start false rumors and make them believable p>
“Even pretty and gentle people can be murderers. It’s a jungle out there in the countryside. Perhaps Annabel became vicious after spending all her years there p>
Annabel turned a deaf ear to the gossip. She held her head high and went to the break room without sparing any of the gossipers a glance.
The vending machine was pouring dark coffee into Annabel’s cup when the door of the break room suddenly swung open.
Annabel turned sharply. She saw a tall figure come in.
She was surprised. “Rupert p>

Rupert shut the door behind him and walked up to Annabel.
“Are you okay?” he asked, looking down at her with concern.
“Huh? Why wouldn’t I be?” Annabel took a sip of the hot coffee and set down the cup calmly.
Rupert was stunned. “Haven’t you seen the viral post online p>
“Oh, that?” Annabel smiled. “I have seen it, but it’s nothing. I’m not guilty, so why should I be bothered p>
The calm look on Annabel’s face was a little beyond Rupert’s expectations.
There were a lot of curses online. Normally, being bashed that much would make anyone sad. This was why he had immediately made some calls for the post to be taken down. After that, he rushed to check on Annabel.
After finding out that she was here, he hadn’t hesitated to come over.
Never did it cross his mind that Annabel would be here, sipping coffee without giving a damn.
Was she really that strong? Or was she just pretending to be?
Suddenly, Rupert reached out and held Annabel’s hand. He looked into her eyes and said firmly, “Don’t worry. I’ve asked people to take down the post. If any employee here is caught speaking ill of you, they will be fired on the spot p>
