Chapter 13 Where Is Annabel

“It's already eleven but Annabel hasn't come back yet. Where the hell is she? Hanging around with men?"

Rupert had just gone downstairs to get a glass of water when he heard Cathy's irritable words.

Erica huffed, "She must have lived a dissolute life in the countryside. Who knows if she's having fun at some bar? What an annoying girl!"

A strange feeling filled Rupert's heart when he heard these words. But when he recalled how Annabel had behaved last night, the feeling dissipated.

Her whereabouts was none of this business.

‘As soon as Erica saw Rupert, she said, "I know you don't care about Annabel. But you can't just allow her to do whatever she likes as long as she's under our roof. Any bad action from her would dent your image. After all, many people know that she's your fiancee. I advise that you call off the engagement and throw her out of this house. Who knows what trouble she will cause if she continues to stay here? We can't clean up after her or face the consequences of her actions. You should do the needful."

Rupert shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Grandpa said the engagement will be called off in three months.”

"She will stay here for three whole months?" Erica screamed. "Gosh! She has only been here for a few days, but I can't stand her anymore. You'd better discuss it with your grandpa and drive her away as soon as possible!”
