Chapter 1158:
Rupert lifted his head and shot Finley a cold look. “Get those trending searches off the internet right now p>
Finley stiffened for a moment, then immediately complied. “Yes, Mr. Benton p>
That evening, when Annabel returned to Water Moon Community, she found Rupert sitting in the living room with a financial magazine in his hands. His expression was dark as he read, as if the pages themselves had offended him.
She walked over and sat beside him. “Did you have someone remove the trending searches p>
Rupert lowered the magazine and looked at her with narrowed eyes. “Who else would it be p>
Hearing the jealousy in his tone, Annabel chuckled and looped her arms around his neck. “I don’t know why Herman keeps doing this. I think I’ve made myself very clear p>
“If he doesn’t stop pestering you, I’ll teach him a lesson,” Rupert said in a low, threatening voice.
Herman might belong to a European royal family. But so what?
Regardless of the man’s identity, it wouldn’t give Herman any real advantage. Rupert was determined to drive him out of the country, one way or another.
“What are you planning to do?” Annabel asked curiously. “Let’s not beat around the bush. Herman is just arrogant. He thinks what he can’t have is the best. Either way, I won’t engage with him anymore. He’ll eventually lose interest and go back to Europe. With his noble status and impressive background, he can have any woman he wants p>
Annabel didn’t believe Herman could stay hopelessly infatuated with her forever. After all, they had only met at Michelle’s birthday party. There hadn’t been enough time for him to develop anything truly deep.
To Annabel, Herman was driven entirely by ego. As a member of a European royal family, he was constantly surrounded by flattery. She had rejected him publicly, and it made sense that he wasn’t willing to accept that humiliation.

She believed that as long as she kept turning him down, he would eventually lose interest and move on.
“What did you just say?” Rupert asked, his expression dark, his tone edged with suspicion. “Do you honestly think Herman is noble and exceptional p>
Annabel blinked, stunned.
What was this? Rupert was jealous again.
She met his unfathomable gaze and said softly, “You’re the most exceptional man in my eyes p>
That clearly pleased him.
Rupert reached for her hand and leaned in, capturing her tempting lips in a kiss.
They kissed for a long moment before Annabel finally pushed him away. “Enough. I can’t breathe…” she said, gasping.
Rupert looked straight into her eyes, earnest and intense. “Annabel, let’s get our marriage certificate next week. I want to tell the whole world you’re mine. I can’t wait any longer p>
“Why don’t we talk about it later?” Annabel replied, her face turning as red as a tomato.
