Chapter 1147:
“Annabel,” Margo said, blinking in surprise.
“Who dropped you off just now?” Annabel asked, looking in the direction Dunn had driven away. “And I heard from your agent that you didn’t go home last night p>
At those words, Margo’s expression darkened as the memories surged back. She explained everything that had happened at the bar.
“Joziah?” Annabel’s brows knitted together. “Is he the one who’s been pestering you p>
“Yes.” Margo nodded. Even thinking about last night still made her feel uneasy.
Annabel patted her shoulder and said in a low, firm voice, “Margo, call the police. I’ll go check the surveillance footage. I’m not letting that scumbag get away with this p>
“The police…” Margo hesitated. She was a popular actress, and Joziah came from an influential family. If this became public, it could damage her career.
Noticing her hesitation, Annabel said in a serious tone, “If I don’t teach him a lesson now, he’ll keep pushing his luck. Don’t worry. I’ll handle this p>
Annabel’s eyes turned cold. How dare Joziah harm one of her employees? She was determined to make him pay.
After speaking with Margo’s agent, Annabel obtained the surveillance footage from the bar and the parking lot. The recordings clearly showed what Joziah had done the day before.
With no other choice, Margo went to the police station to file a report. Under Annabel’s pressure, Joziah was taken in for questioning.
“That has nothing to do with this,” Joziah insisted. “I just saw her drunk and was going to take her home out of kindness p>
Although he tried to appear calm, resentment churned in his chest. He never expected that woman, Margo, to turn the tables on him. Not only had he failed to get what he wanted last night, he had also been beaten up by a stranger. In his mind, he was the victim.

“And the so-called witness you found beat me so badly my mouth still hasn’t healed,” he added. “Maybe you’re all working together to blackmail me p>
As he spoke, Joziah pointed arrogantly at the wound on his lip. “See? I’m injured right here. I’m going to get this evaluated and sue that man for intentional assault p>
Behind the glass, Annabel’s lips curled into a cold smile as she watched the suspect refuse to admit wrongdoing.
Beside her, Margo looked uneasy. Noticing her gaze, Annabel patted her shoulder, reassuring her.
Then Annabel handed the CCTV footage to the police.
The moment the officers saw the evidence, Joziah’s composure cracked. Panic flashed across his face, and he immediately tried to bluff his way out.
“This is slander,” he snapped. “I want my lawyer. Or call my dad. Do you even know who my dad is p>
His face turned livid. He hadn’t expected them to have proof.
And deep down, he already decided he would never let Margo off the hook.
“Sir,” Margo’s agent said, steady and firm as he addressed the officer, “we have evidence and a witness. Arguing won’t change anything. You can also investigate the bartender from last night. I’m confident he can provide crucial information as well p>
