Chapter 1127:
After dinner with Hooper, Annabel returned to the company. She didn’t go home until six. When she stepped into the living room, she saw Rupert sitting on the sofa, his face dark.
Annabel paused, confused by his mood. “What’s wrong with you? You look upset again p>
Rupert lifted his head and looked at her. There was no doubt he was deeply displeased. “Why were you at the restaurant with Hooper today p>
Annabel was startled. She didn’t know how Rupert had found out, but she didn’t think it mattered. She hung her coat on the rack by the door and replied calmly, “I went to Marcel’s today to visit Anika. When I came out, I ran into Hooper. He wanted to talk to me about a collaboration, so we went to a restaurant to discuss business over dinner. How did you know p>
Despite her explanation, Rupert’s anger only flared more at the mention of Hooper. He had told Annabel countless times that he didn’t want her getting close to other men.
He stared at her coldly. “That’s not important. Stay away from other men in the future, okay? I can’t stand seeing you with someone else p>
Annabel sighed, turning her head away as she rolled her eyes. Why was Rupert always like this? She was truly speechless.
“I just told you why I was with Mr. Norman. I wasn’t making friends with him. We were talking business. You can’t control my life p>
“Oh, so you think I’m trying to control your life?” Rupert snorted, clearly stung by her words.

Annabel quickly grabbed her phone. “Alright, stop it. My phone is ringing, and I need to answer it p>
She picked up, and her grandfather’s voice came through. Annabel froze for a second, then couldn’t hide the excitement in her tone. “Grandpa, why are you calling me at this time? I miss you so much, you know p>

The old man on the other end of the line laughed heartily. “I saw the news about your engagement on TV недавно. You’re getting engaged to a big shot in Douburgh—wow. I have to say, that young man is very handsome. I think I’ll come attend your engagement ceremony. I’ve been in good health lately, and I don’t have much to do p>
“Really?” Annabel was overjoyed. “It would mean the world to me if you could come. When will you arrive in Douburgh? I’ll pick you up at the airport p>
“I’ll be there in a few days,” her grandfather said. “I’ll call you when I arrive p>
They chatted a little longer before Annabel finally hung up. She turned to Rupert, excitement shining in her eyes. “My grandpa just called and said he’s coming to Douburgh in a few days to attend our engagement ceremony. Isn’t that great? I haven’t seen him in so long p>
Rupert smiled, feeling her happiness. He patted her shoulder gently. “Alright. When he arrives, tell me. We’ll go pick him up together p>
A week later, Margo was discharged from the hospital, and Rory helped her complete the formalities.
He held her arm and guided her out. Feeling a little embarrassed, Margo lowered her head slightly. “Rory, I’m really fine p>
