Chapter 567
Chapter 567:
Then Rupert pointed at the two brightest stars in the night sky and suddenly raised his voice, startling her. “Mr. and Mrs. Hewitt, I want to marry Annabel. I promise to take good care of her for as long as she lives. If you agree to this, don’t move. But if you are against my marrying your daughter, hide behind the clouds p>
The stars shone brightly that night, illuminating the ground below them and the helicopter.
After that, Rupert fixed his deep eyes on Annabel. “Annabel, there you go. Your parents have agreed that I marry you. You won’t turn me down, will you p>
So this was what he had in mind.
Annabel’s heart was racing abnormally fast.
“Huh?” She looked away, at a loss for words.
This was just a ploy, a harmless white lie.
How could those two stars truly be her parents?
And how could he be so sure that they agreed?
Although all these questions flashed through her mind, she was still moved by his efforts.
When Annabel remained silent for a while, Rupert suddenly went down on one knee and took out a ring she had not noticed before.
“Annabel, will you marry me p>
Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the ring he was holding out to her.
She had given his ring back when she canceled their engagement. But now, here he was, proposing to her again.
Rory had proposed to Annabel at the award ceremony yesterday, and today, Rupert was proposing to her.
Two days in a row, two men had asked for her hand in marriage.
The only difference was that, unlike how she felt during Rory’s proposal yesterday, Annabel was truly happy now. How could she not be? She still loved Rupert.

She didn’t know what to do as she looked down at the sincere man in front of her.
The problem was that she didn’t know how much he actually loved her.
She had to admit that his attitude toward Candace had changed. But he had clearly said that he could not leave Candace alone since she had saved his life.
And at the press conference today, Rupert had not announced that Candace was the one who leaked Benton Group’s bid price. Clearly, he was protecting her.
Candace still had a place in Rupert’s heart.
Annabel was certain that Candace was not the real Candy, and once she had proof, she knew Rupert would make that woman pay for fooling him. But she couldn’t help wondering what would happen once the real Candy came back.
Annabel was torn as countless thoughts rushed through her mind at once. She never wanted to experience the same pain she felt when Rupert abandoned her on their engagement day ever again.
When she remained silent for too long, Rupert gently squeezed her hand and said,
“Annabel, please say yes p>
Annabel pressed her lips together and looked out of the window.
That was when she noticed it. A dozen helicopters surrounded them, and the smoke trailing from the ends of the helicopters formed colorful patterns and words in the sky.
