Chapter 346:
In Rupert’s arms, Annabel put out her hand and tapped Rupert on the forehead. “I’m your fiancée. Of course, I wish to share my joys and sorrows with you p>
Rupert embraced Annabel tightly and vowed, “Annabel, I will never betray you p>
Annabel’s heart was filled with joy. She raised her head and gazed into Rupert’s deep-set eyes. “You must keep your word p>
“Yes, I will.” Rupert kissed Annabel passionately on the lips as soon as he finished talking.
As Finley came back to Benton Group, he was stopped by Cody’s assistant. “Mr. Hinks is looking for you p>
Finley nodded. “Okay p>
He took the elevator to the CEO’s office on the eighteenth floor.
Cody had taken over Rupert’s office. He was so complacent that he didn’t even try to keep a low profile.
Finley collected himself and knocked on the door.
“Please come in.” Cody’s voice could be heard from the CEO’s office.
Finley opened the door and asked, “Sir, what can I do for you p>
Cody sat in Rupert’s seat. He looked up at Finley and asked, “Have you made up your mind about what I told you p>
Reflecting on Rupert’s words, Finley acted uncertain and remarked, “Well… I haven’t made up my mind yet p>
“What else is there to think about?” Cody abruptly rose to his feet and walked toward Finley step by step. “A wise man understands the situation p>
Seeing Finley’s hesitation, Cody continued, “You know the current situation, don’t you? Rupert was in a jet crash. There has been no news about him for several days. He is most likely dead. My father is in the hospital in critical condition. He instructed me to run Benton Group. Given the current situation, no one else can be the CEO of Benton Group except me p>

Cody handed Finley a check as he was talking. “You can keep the money if you promise to vote for me at the press conference. Moreover, I will promote you to the position of vice president p>
“Are you sure?” Finley appeared to be tempted and accepted the check.
“Yes.” Cody flashed a grin, seemingly resolved to buy him off.
Cody held a press conference two days later.
The weather was beautiful. The sky was blue, and the sun was shining brightly. The press conference was scheduled for two o’clock in the afternoon. Rupert and Annabel awoke early. Rupert sent Finley a text message: “How are things going p>
Finley quickly responded to him, “Everything is going swimmingly p>
“How are things?” Annabel approached and asked worriedly.
Rupert beamed as he kissed Annabel on the forehead. “So far, so good. Now we’re just waiting for Cody to hold the press conference p>
“That’s great.” Annabel was relieved when she heard the words. “I’ll go to the press conference first. You should take someone with you to rescue your grandfather as soon as he focuses on the conference and lets down his guard p>
“Alright.” Rupert nodded.
