Chapter 1119:
When she finished, she gave Rupert a subtle signal to call the police and mouthed, “Talia p>
Rupert understood immediately. He pulled out his phone and called the police station. Speaking fluent French, he described the incident without hesitation—how Susan had committed plagiarism, and how Talia had stolen the design draft.
Susan’s expression changed violently as Rupert spoke. She understood every word. After living in France for years, she didn’t need a translation.
And by then, it was too late to stop anything.
Not long after, Rupert ended the call and slipped his phone back into his pocket. About thirty minutes later, a police car arrived. Two officers stepped out and apprehended Susan. By the end of the night, her reputation had been completely ruined.
Meanwhile, Talia had been watching the award ceremony livestream from her hotel room. She was restless and on edge, never expecting Annabel to strike back so decisively. She gripped her phone tightly, debating whether to call Susan.

When they returned to Douburgh, the first thing they did was visit Bruce at the old house.
Rupert held Annabel’s hand tightly, as if afraid she might slip away. Smiling, he led her inside and greeted Bruce. “Grandpa, I’m back—with Annabel p>
Bruce had been talking about them all day, so he was both surprised and delighted to see them. “You two are finally back! I’ve missed you so much p>
“Annabel wanted to come see you as soon as the competition ended,” Rupert explained. “But I thought she was exhausted, so I asked her to rest for a few more days in France p>
