Chapter 759:
Cathy and Erica were thrilled.
To them, Annabel was nothing compared to Bruce.
The once-confident, arrogant Annabel now looked desperate—and in their eyes, it only made her seem guiltier.
If they hadn’t been in public, Cathy and Erica would have laughed out loud at her humiliation.
Because of Annabel, Rupert had begun to resent them, and their relationship had worsened. Now, at last, they could finally vent all the anger they had been forced to swallow.
Candace was even more pleased than the others.
With Annabel out of the way, she could win Rupert back. After all, she was Candy.
“Well, Rupert, it seems your affection for me is lukewarm at best. From now on, we’re through,” Annabel said, her voice steady with determination.
“Even if you hadn’t done this, we would still break up with you. A malicious woman like you isn’t worthy of Rupert at all!” Cathy spat, looking at Annabel with disgust.
Annabel shot her a cold glare, and Cathy immediately fell silent.
Several police officers approached. The lead officer held up his badge and swept his serious gaze over the crowd.
“We received a report of an intentional murder. What happened here p>
Erica hurried forward. “I called the police p>
She pointed at Annabel, voice sharp with anger. “This woman claimed she could cure my father-in-law with some traditional remedy, but instead she killed him! Take her away—now p>
“Please come with us to the police station,” the officer said coldly to Annabel.
Annabel didn’t resist. Under the gloating stares of Cathy, Erica, and Candace, she was escorted away.
Before she left, Annabel glanced at Rupert. He remained silent.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but stopped.
Then her gaze shifted to Cathy, Erica, and Candace.
“Rupert, for the sake of what we once had, I suggest you order an autopsy for Bruce to determine whether he was poisoned,” Annabel said earnestly. “You owe him that, after all the years he cared for you p>
“Don’t pretend you care about him now,” Cathy snapped, unease creeping into her voice.
“Don’t listen to her lies, Rupert,” Erica added quickly, trying to shut it down. “Grandpa was a traditional man. He wouldn’t want his body cut open. He’ll be disappointed in us if we go against his wishes p>
Erica did her best to conceal her guilt. Her sorrowful expression and bloodshot eyes failed to reveal the storm inside her as she tried to comfort Rupert with gentle words.
“We’re all devastated by your grandfather’s passing. This tragedy has finally revealed Annabel’s true nature. Your grandfather’s death was the result of her malicious actions. If you follow her advice and perform an autopsy, it would dishonor his memory. We need to give him a proper burial so he can rest in peace. I’ll help you arrange the funeral. Please don’t be fooled by Annabel’s lies, or your grandfather’s soul will never find peace p>
