Chapter 1015:
Pointing at Annabel, Candace gritted her teeth and said to Rupert, “Ron, it’s her! She’s trying to ruin our engagement. She’s jealous of our relationship—jealous of me! Ron, please have someone throw her out p>
Candace still clung to a sliver of hope that Rupert would side with her. But to her shock, Rupert shook her hand off without even looking at her.
“Why are you getting so worked up?” he said coldly. “Isn’t she telling the truth? To be honest, I never planned to get engaged to you. It was a trap from the very beginning p>
Candace stood frozen, unable to move. Fear and disbelief tightened around her throat.
After speaking, Rupert walked straight to Annabel. He took the microphone from her hand and said sincerely, “I’m sorry I came so late. I apologize for making you attend an engagement ceremony that doesn’t even exist p>
Candace stared at the two of them onstage, shocked beyond words. Her knees felt weak, as if she might collapse. She couldn’t believe she’d been deceived.
“No… no…” Candace murmured, her voice small and unsteady.
Then she lifted her head and crawled toward Rupert, tears streaming down her face. She grabbed his hand tightly and cried out, as if desperation alone could prove her truth.
“No, no! Please listen to me, Ron. When we were kids, we were locked in a small wooden house. I blocked that big dog for you and helped you escape. Later, we got separated. And to help you—I even fell off a cliff while distracting the kidnappers who were chasing you. Have you forgotten? I’m Candy! I really am p>
Candace felt wronged, but all she could do was sob helplessly. Her face was flushed, her eyes swollen and red, yet Rupert looked at her as if she were a stranger—someone who had nothing to do with him.
Beside him, Annabel watched Candace’s performance with obvious indifference. When Candace finished, Annabel let out a mocking laugh.
“Candace, I didn’t expect you to lie so shamelessly in front of all these people,” Annabel said. “How dare you insist you’re Candy? How can you be so brazen p>

“What are you talking about? That’s nonsense! I’m Candy!” Candace snapped, refusing to back down.
With a disdainful smile, Annabel stepped forward and pointed at Candace’s back. Because Candace wore a backless ceremonial gown, the scars on her back were plainly visible to everyone.
Pointing at the scars, Annabel spoke loudly and clearly. “The scars on Candace’s back aren’t accidental injuries from childhood. She did them to herself—and they’re recent p>
The crowd erupted the moment Annabel finished speaking. Candace was so stunned that she instinctively twisted to look back.
How did Annabel find out?
But Candace recovered quickly. She turned back and glared at Annabel with ferocity. She no longer cared about her image—she looked as if she wanted to tear Annabel apart.
