Chapter 83:
Or was he unhappy that he had to fire Nina? Was he blaming her for it?
Annabel looked at him warily and asked, “Rupert, what do you mean p>
The man turned his expressionless face and looked into her eyes. His eyes were like two whirlpools, deep and unfathomable.
He nodded slightly and shifted closer to her.
“You already knew that Nina would replace the drawings. And you arranged for Talia to expose her crime. Everything was arranged by you, right p>
Rupert already knew the answer, but he just wanted to hear it from Annabel herself.
Annabel must have known for a long time that Nina was going to frame her, so she went ahead and arranged to trap her.
Not only did Nina get exposed, but she was also fired from Benton Group. At the same time, this would be a warning to Bernice, thereby killing two birds with one stone.
Everything that happened today was under Annabel’s control.
Her methods were precise, ruthless, and decisive.
He appreciated it deeply.
It was hard to imagine that a young girl from the countryside would be so smart and courageous.
Again, Rupert shifted even closer to Annabel.
The distance between the two was virtually non-existent, making Annabel’s face turn red with embarrassment.
Why did he move so close to her?
She quickly shifted away from him and said in a serious tone, “No. Of course, the initiator was Nina. I didn’t try to set her up; I just defended myself. She wanted to frame me. How could I sit still and wait for her to destroy me? If she hadn’t tried to frame me, these things wouldn’t have happened. So I just gave her a dose of her own medicine. I don’t think I did anything wrong p>
“Did I say that you did something wrong?” Rupert asked, a ghost of a smile on his lips.
Annabel was shocked. Didn’t Rupert bring her here to blame her?

“You’re free to tell me if such a thing happens again,” Rupert said and moved closer to Annabel again.
Leaning sideways, he put his hands on either side of her. His lips were close to her ear as he said, “I won’t sit and watch my fiancee being set up p>
Wrapped in the aura of this strong man, Annabel’s heart began to beat fast.
“I can handle such a small matter. You don’t need to bother yourself,” she replied.
His closeness made her quite uncomfortable. What was wrong with this man? Why did he get so close to her? Wasn’t he afraid that Candy would be jealous?
“So, who the hell are you?” Rupert asked, his enchanting eyes dark with curiosity. “Why do you know jewelry design? If I’m not mistaken, the drawing software you used today was designed by Ada. What’s your relationship with p>
Annabel was stunned. What was Rupert suspecting? Was her true identity exposed?
Annabel quickly stood up and smiled at him. “You know who I am. I’m your nominal fiancee. If there is nothing else, I’d like to go back to work p>
With that, Annabel turned around and left.
Staring at her pretty figure as she walked away, Rupert was full of complex emotions.
After thinking for a while, he called Finley and ordered, “Do a background check on Annabel. I want every piece of information about her p>
“Annabel?” Finley was a little surprised.
