Chapter 945:
“That won’t be an issue. She trusts me now and won’t keep hovering around me. It’s probably because I told her about the plan last time, and she’s thinking about something else. Let’s go to Crystalmist Restaurant tonight if you’re free. I already made a reservation. Candace won’t see you. Having dinner together isn’t a big deal p>
Rupert had already arranged everything, and his reasoning didn’t sound wrong. After a brief pause, Annabel agreed.
“Fine. There’s a twilight scene today. I’ll head out as soon as they finish shooting. If you arrive first, please wait a little for me p>
“Okay.” A gentle smile crept into Rupert’s voice.
When Annabel arrived on set, Rory was talking to one of the actors. Everyone who saw her greeted her.
Hearing her name, Rory immediately turned around. He smiled at her, but didn’t say a word.
He had admitted that he purposely wanted to pursue Annabel in front of the reporters. It was the first time he had made it public, and he wanted to try.
It was human nature.
However, Annabel’s attitude left him struggling to communicate with her. All he could do was keep smiling.
“I appreciate your hard work. Please have some boba tea later during the break.” Annabel was holding two bags of boba tea she had bought for the crew.
When the mid-break arrived, Annabel walked over to Rory with a cup in her hand and offered it to him. “Have one too. It’s sugar-free, so it might help you maintain your weight p>
Rory smiled and accepted it. “Thank you p>
Annabel smiled back and turned to leave, but Rory stopped her. “Anything else p>
Annabel paused.
“I’m sorry,” Rory said after hesitating. “About what I said in the interview. It was my fault. I didn’t think about your feelings. I’m sorry p>

An unreadable look flickered in Annabel’s eyes, but it vanished quickly. She waved a hand. “Yes, I was a little upset. But the public relations department has almost completely buried the issue. Still, please don’t say anything else in front of the media that could lead to misunderstandings later p>
“Okay.” Rory nodded, then lightly curled his fingers as if steadying himself. After a moment, he asked, “Then we’re still good friends, aren’t we p>
“Sure p>
Only then did Rory finally feel relieved.
Meanwhile, Bella had worked herself into a frenzy, plotting ways to get close to Annabel. She was practically losing her mind.
If Annabel died, could the Astleys return to the way they used to be? Would Rory finally look at her again?
Yes. Annabel had to perish.
Bella sat up in bed. Her father had gone to work, and only the servants were home. She went downstairs slowly and saw the maids washing dishes in the dining room. Then she slipped into the storage room in the corner of the first floor.
If she remembered correctly, her father’s sawed-off shotgun was stored here. Just last month, he had mentioned it could still be used.
