Chapter 656 Chapter 656: “Annabel, take this p> Rupert walked over with hot water and some medicine in his hand. As he handed them to her, his eyes flicked to the name on her screen. Rory. Was he trying to get close to Annabel again? Rupert’s brows tightened. He snatched
Chapter 655 Chapter 655: She was afraid he would storm over and drag her away again without asking, like he had yesterday. Fortunately, he didn’t. He stayed where he was and simply watched her work. Only when the day finally ended did he walk up to her and ask, “Can
Chapter 654 Chapter 654: He bowed slightly and added, “Please, Miss Hewitt, accept my sincere apology p> Annabel smiled faintly. Yes, Nathan had slapped Talia and apologized, but it was clearly meant to protect his sister. He really was a good older brother to her. “Very well, Mr. Clifford. I’ll
Chapter 653 Chapter 653: Then she explained, tears spilling down her face. “I did something terrible and hurt Miss Hewitt for money. But I did it because… my little brother has a heart condition. The doctor said he needed surgery urgently, and I couldn’t afford that kind of money p>
Chapter 652 Chapter 652: The man hesitated and glanced at Talia, unsure what to say. Talia glared back fiercely, clearly determined not to let him off the hook. Under her intense stare, the man trembled, then finally forced himself to speak. “I swear I’m telling the truth. Shelly was the
Chapter 651 Chapter 651: “I never thought Talia could be this deceitful,” someone muttered. “What do you have to say now?” Annabel asked indifferently, turning to Talia.

Chapter 649 Chapter 649: This time, it was obvious to everyone. As the man picked up the bouquets, he discreetly sprinkled a large amount of platinum powder into them. Annabel hit replay and slowly swept her gaze across the room. “Did everyone see it clearly? It’s obvious someone deliberately sprinkled
Chapter 648 Chapter 648: The footage showed a café. Two young girls sat near the window—clearly the same two female students who had presented flowers to Annabel and Rory at the opening ceremony. The girl in blue said excitedly to her friend, “Liza, we have to attend the opening ceremony
Chapter 647 Chapter 647: She drew in a few deep breaths, forcing herself to steady her emotions. She couldn’t understand why Annabel had suddenly turned on her. Her plan to make it look like Shelly was responsible had been flawless. So why had everything gone so wrong? Now, not only

Chapter 643 Chapter 643: “Isn’t an eyewitness account evidence?” Talia snorted coldly. A few days ago, I heard Miss Martel saying she hated Miss Hewitt. I even recorded it by coincidence. You can listen to it,” Janiya said, then took out her phone and played the recording. Shelly’s voice came
Chapter 642 Chapter 642: “Oh? Are you that sure it was Shelly?” Annabel asked, her smile edged with sarcasm. Talia froze. What was Annabel getting at? Desperate, Shelly grabbed Annabel’s hand and pleaded, “Miss Hewitt, please believe me. I really didn’t know p> “How could it not be you?” Talia
Chapter 641 Chapter 641: Annabel nodded. “Yes.” Then she raised her arm. Even though she had dodged in time, the blade had still nicked her. A thin line of blood ran down her skin. “Oh my God! Miss Hewitt is hurt p> “How could this happen p> “It was supposed
Chapter 640 Chapter 640: Annabel was an amateur herself. In Shelly’s eyes, it was ridiculous that she was “teaching” Talia. Annabel lifted her head and glanced at Shelly, frowning slightly.
