Who Is The Real Boss?

Chapter 80 Was Heather Candy

The police car moved at a high speed.

In no time, it arrived at the shore of the lake.

As soon as two police officers got out of the car, Cathy walked up to them, pointed at Annabel, and said, "That's the culprit, Annabel Hewitt! She's the one that pushed Nina into the lake!"

Looking in the direction she pointed, the police officers saw Annabel kneeling beside a body and performing CPR.

"Let's go have a look," the older cop said to his colleague.

"Okay, Apollo." The policewoman nodded and followed him.

"What happened?" Apollo looked at the unconscious Nina and asked no one in particular.

Rory started, "She fell into the lake and—"

Cathy cut him short aggressively.

"No, she didn't fall by herself! Annabel pushed her.I saw it with my own eyes.My classmate is also a witness!"

She winked at Anakin while at it.

Taking the hint, Anakin stepped forward and echoed, "Yes, I saw it too.Annabel pushed Nina into the lake!"

The cops shared meaningful glances.

Then Apollo asked calmly, "Is that so?"

"of course not!"

Rory frowned slightly.

"you have no business testifying, Rory.After all, you only got here after Nina was already in the water.You didn't see what transpired before then.Why are you telling lies for Annabel so shamelessly?" Cathy fired at him.

Rory snorted and pointed at Annabel.

"Annabel is trying to resuscitate Nina.Why would she do that if she pushed Nina into the lake?"

"Isn't it obvious? Annabel is just acting.Nina drowned long ago.She's dead, but Annabel is feigning concern so she won't be arrested!"

Cathy sneered.

"It's useless to perform CPR on a dead person!"

"Shut your mouth, Cathy! Nina is not dead.She can still be resuscitated!"

Annabel suddenly yelled.She pressed Nina's chest again with all the strength she could muster, causing her to throw up a mouthful of water.

"What?"

Cathy exclaimed in surprise.

Was Nina really alive? On second thought, Cathy reasoned that it didn't matter if Nina woke up.

Nina would never spare Annabel even though she almost lost her life.

Either way, Annabel was doomed.

An ambulance finally arrived at this moment.

A doctor rushed over with a first-aid kit.

"Officers, how is the situation now?" the doctor asked anxiously.

"This woman fell into the water."

Apollo pointed at Nina.

Annabel finally stood up to give way to the doctor.She was almost exhausted after investing her strength in CPR.Her chest heaved violently.She took a few deep breaths and finally recovered.

Afterward, she explained the situation to the doctor.

"She was in the water for quite some time.I've performed CPR since she was brought out of the lake.Her pulse was non-existent at first, and it's still very weak now.Please do something to save her."

"Okay, I'll try my best."

The doctor ordered the medics who came with him to lift Nina onto the stretcher.

After simple first aid, they lifted her into the ambulance.

The ambulance sped straight to the hospital.

Annabel finally breathed a sigh of relief.She had done her best.

However, she was still worried about Nina.

It wasn't certain that Nina would survive.

"Miss, can you tell us what happened?" the policewoman addressed Annabel, taking out a small jotter and a pen.

She had seen how invested Annabel was to resuscitate Nina, so she had doubts about Cathy's account.

Annabel nodded.

Just as she was about to begin, Cathy yelled, "I already told you what happened! Annabel pushed Nina into the lake.She also watched her drown before making an effort to save her!"

"Shut the fuck up, Cathy!"

The ice in Annabel's stare could have frozen lava.

Shivering, Cathy kept silent under Annabel's powerful aura.

"Officers, here's the thing.Today, our company came to Lover Lake to shoot an outdoor advertisement for a brand.When I came here to check this spot for a scene, Nina came out of nowhere.She tried to push me into the lake, but she accidentally slipped and fell inside herself."

Annabel told her own side of the story calmly.

"That's bullshit!"

Cathy was worried that the cops would believe Annabel's words.

"Don't believe her! Which murderer would admit to the crime they committed? My classmate and I saw what happened.Annabel pushed Nina into the lake.We're witnesses!"

Apollo rubbed his forehead as Cathy continued to shout.

Afterward, he cleared his throat and said, "In that case, you all have to come with us to the station to write down statements."

Meanwhile, Rupert didn't wake up until ten o'clock that morning.

The first thing he saw after opening his eyes was a crystal lamp.

Where was he? This wasn't his room! Rupert sat up on the bed all of a sudden.He looked around and wondered where he was and how he got here.

Suddenly, the door of the room creaked open.

A curvaceous woman in a sexy red silky nightdress walked in.

It was Heather.

"Good morning, Rupert.You are finally awake.Look, I made you breakfast."

Heather stared at Rupert obsessively.

"Heather? Why are you here? And where is this place?"

Rupert's handsome face darkened as he queried her.

"You are in my room.Where else can I be if not here?"

Heather grinned mischievously.

"Your room?"Rupert raised his eyebrows in surprise.

How did he get here? "Don't you remember what happened last night? Well, you got drunk, so I had to bring you here."

Heather wriggled her waist seductively, walked to the bed, and sat down beside Rupert.

Rupert rubbed his temples and recalled what had happened last night.

Yesterday was the anniversary of his father's death.He went to the cemetery to visit his father’s grave.

Sadness overwhelmed him as he talked to the tombstone to no end.He didn't realize when he drank himself to stupor.

But later...

What happened later? He seemed to see Candy last night.

"Candy..."

Rupert murmured.

Biting her lower lip, Heather looked at him affectionately.

"Rupert, I'm Candy." Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"What? You are Candy?"

Rupert's handsome face tightened, and his cold eyes fell on Heather with scrutiny.Was she really Candy? How could that be? Heather nodded without hesitation and looked into Rupert's doubtful eyes.

"Yes.Do you remember that we were kidnapped together many years ago?"
