Chapter 1327:
News of Dunn’s accident had already exploded online. Yet watching Margo now, Rory couldn’t make sense of it.
It wasn’t just paranoia. Her expression didn’t look like grief—nothing like what you would expect after something like this.
Rory opened his mouth, then closed it again, letting out a slow, weighted sigh instead.
Silence pressed in, thick and tense, as each of them sank into their own thoughts.
Margo kept her head lowered, staring at the cracked screen of her phone. It had shattered the day of Dunn’s accident, slipping from her hands while she was listening to his voicemail.
The fractures across the glass cut through their chat thread, still filled with message after message from him.
As she scrolled upward, memories surged back—Dunn promising he would pick her up for late-night snacks after her shoot wrapped up.
Margo’s voice finally broke the stifling silence as she stared out the car window. “Rory p>
Hearing his name, Rory turned to her and waited for her to continue.
Margo nervously toyed with the hem of her clothes, her voice quiet as she asked, “Were you happy the day Annabel got engaged p>
“No wonder the company’s been keeping interviews to a minimum and shielding you from reporters whenever possible,” Rory chuckled, leaving Margo baffled by the comment.
When he saw her confusion, Rory found it both amusing and exasperating. “You know what I’m thinking. Can’t you tell whether I was happy p>
Even as he spoke, his brows drew together. Maybe none of this would have happened if he hadn’t been so worried in the first place.
Margo rested her cheek against her hand, her voice slightly muffled. “I have to admit, my emotional intelligence isn’t very high. I act on impulse. I do whatever I want and don’t think about the consequences p>

“You’re still young. You just haven’t seen enough yet,” Rory replied, his tone gentle and patient. “Give it a few more years in this industry, and you won’t be the same p>
“Is that so?” Margo’s voice trembled, and it was clear she didn’t want to keep talking.
Rory had a business event to attend, so Margo couldn’t go with him. He instructed his agent to drop her off at home.
The moment Margo stepped into her empty house, she collapsed onto her bed. Tears blurred the room as the silence swallowed her whole, the loneliness making everything feel worse.
That afternoon, Margo and Rory once again became the center of online gossip. The video of their encounter with the reporters was uploaded almost immediately, igniting a fresh wave of heated discussion.
“Margo looks like she’s really falling apart. Can you blame her after everything p>
“Who wouldn’t, in that situation p>
“But honestly, Rory protecting her like that was kind of sweet. Could he actually have feelings for her? And weren’t there photos of them kissing at the bar p>
“Let me stop you right there. Official sources already debunked those rumors and clarified that the bar scene was simply part of their filming. Let’s not drag Rory into this. Thank you p>
