Chapter 1433:
What enraged Annabel wasn’t merely the fact that they were together. It was that Rupert and Heather were lying on the same bed.
Heather’s clothes were disheveled, leaving no room for innocent interpretations.
“The person in this picture p>
“It can’t be p>
Annabel and Rupert spoke at the same time.
Annabel bit her lip at Rupert’s denial. The man in the photo was clearly Rupert—there was no doubt about that.
And yet, she also believed he would never stoop to something like this. There had to be some misunderstanding.
“I never…” Rupert started.
Then his expression shifted, as if something had suddenly clicked.
He immediately called his assistant.
“Did anyone go into my lounge?” Rupert demanded, going straight to the point.
A brief silence followed on the other end before his assistant finally replied, “No one, Mr. Benton. I’ve been watching it the entire time p>

“Rupert?” Heather sounded soft, with unmistakable excitement underneath.
“Heather, what are you talking about?” Annabel asked coldly.

“Are you disappointed it isn’t Rupert?” A faint smirk tugged at Annabel’s lips.
“So you’ve seen the photo,” Heather murmured, her voice barely audible.
“Heather, are you really that foolish, or are you pretending?” Annabel said sharply. “This number isn’t Rupert’s. You sent me that photo on purpose p>
Annabel could only imagine her own expression—a mix of anger and disbelief.
She had thought Heather wasn’t capable of something like this. Clearly, she had underestimated her.
“I’m sorry, Annabel. Can we just pretend this never happened?” Heather pleaded.
“Heather, I already gave you a chance,” Annabel cut her off, her voice firm. She had hoped that once Heather was sent away by her family, the trouble would end. Yet here Heather was again, brazenly stepping over the line. “Didn’t you learn your lesson at the party p>
Silence fell.
