Chapter 527:
Rupert’s cold gaze fell on Annabel as he smiled faintly and said, “We’ll find out soon enough p>
A moment later, he added, “I’ll prove your innocence p>
Obviously, Rupert did not believe that Annabel would do such a thing.
If money was all Annabel was after, she could simply get back together with him and have all the money she wanted.
Why would she go to such lengths and collude with BPL?
However, Rupert was surprised to see that Candace had gone against her usual soft and weak nature to accuse Annabel so aggressively. He was determined to find out the truth.
Since the news had gone public, there were already reports and articles on the Internet smearing Annabel’s reputation. It was devastating for her.
He could only clear her name by uncovering the truth.
“Thank you.” Annabel’s heart softened when she saw that he didn’t suspect her. Unexpectedly, Rupert did not believe Candace’s groundless accusations and chose to believe her instead.
Finley soon returned and asked the IT expert to bring in Annabel’s computer. The IT expert turned it on and typed something on the keyboard. Ten minutes later, he stood up and said to Rupert, “Mr. Benton, the bid price was indeed leaked from this computer p>
He was not even finished when Candace shouted, “Annabel, what are you going to say now p>
Annabel remained calm and said, “Candace, even if the bid price was indeed leaked from my computer, it doesn’t prove anything p>
“Are you serious?” Candace asked, gnashing her teeth. “The bid price was leaked from your computer. Who could have leaked it if not you p>
“Why couldn’t it be someone else? Someone could have hacked my computer and framed me for it p>

“Can you find out the specific time when the bid price was leaked?” Candace asked, glancing at the IT expert.
“Sure. Give me some time p>
He then continued to work on the computer for a few more minutes before he said, “I’ve found it. It was done at half past ten yesterday morning p>
“Ron, we just need to check the surveillance video and see who used this computer at that time. We’ll know who the traitor is then!” Candace could not control her excitement.
All the evidence pointed to Annabel. She would not escape this time.
“No need to check the surveillance video. I was in my seat at that time,” Annabel replied flatly, pressing her lips together.
“So you’re admitting that you leaked the price?” Candace asked coldly.
“I am only admitting that I was in my seat at that time. You are good at twisting people’s words, aren’t you?” The corners of Annabel’s mouth lifted into a smirk.
Candace glared at Annabel. “Ron, the evidence is conclusive. Annabel is the one who did it. How about we call the police p>
Rupert narrowed his eyes and was about to say something when Annabel revealed a sly smile, staring straight at Candace.
