Chapter 1218:
Before he could finish, a powerful kick slammed into his face.
“You bastard p>
Dunn was the first to storm into the room. The moment he took in the scene, rage flashed through him. Without hesitation, he struck Joziah again, then ripped off his coat and threw it over Margo.
“Margo…” Dunn’s voice broke as he rushed to her side. He worked quickly and carefully to undo the bindings at her wrists.
But the instant his fingers brushed her skin, Margo panicked. She squeezed her eyes shut and flailed wildly, sobbing as she screamed, “Stay away from me! Don’t p>
“Don’t touch me!” Margo screamed, her voice shaking with terror.
“Margo! Margo, it’s me. It’s Dunn. I’m here. I came to save you,” Dunn said urgently, trying to calm her.
Tears streamed down Margo’s face. The moment she recognized him, she threw herself into his arms and broke into sobs.
Annabel walked in beside Rupert, her expression darkening as she took in what had happened. She hadn’t expected Joziah would still be causing trouble.
To avoid upsetting Annabel further, Rupert stepped in front of her, blocking her view, and signaled for his bodyguards to take Joziah away.
Annabel patted Rupert’s hand and said coldly, “We can’t let that scum get off so easily p>
“It’s all right. You’re safe now,” Dunn murmured, stroking Margo’s hair as he wrapped his coat around her. But she still looked dazed. She kept her head lowered and didn’t say a word.
When Dunn saw Margo’s disheveled state, guilt crushed him. “I’m sorry. This is my fault. I shouldn’t have taken you out for a midnight snack, and I failed to protect you. I’m so sorry…” His voice was thick with regret.
He couldn’t bear to imagine what might have happened if he had been even a little later. The thought turned his eyes red with fury. He swore he wouldn’t let Joziah get away.

Margo shook her head and tried to stand, only to realize her knees and ankles were scraped and throbbing from the fall.
“I’m sorry,” Dunn whispered near her ear.
Margo looked up at him—and without warning, he lifted her into his arms.
What Joziah had just done left a lingering fear in her. She struggled instinctively, trying to get down, until Dunn soothed her and she finally let him carry her.
Annabel, standing nearby, stopped Dunn and said, “Mr. Hopkins, I’ll take Margo home. Thank you p>
Dunn nodded and carried Margo to Annabel’s car.
Margo’s agent was already inside, waiting. The moment she saw Margo like that, her eyes filled with tears.
Annabel gave Dunn a grateful look, then gently stroked Margo’s hair. “You’re safe now p>
Margo looked back at Annabel. She parted her lips as if to speak, but after a moment, she fell silent.
