Chapter 1331:
“It’s just the media. It’s fine,” Annabel said, patting Rupert’s hand to signal him to let go.
She could handle reporters.
After sending a quick text, she stepped out of the car.
“I’m leaving now,” she said, then added with a teasing smile, “so remember to miss me p>
Blowing Rupert a kiss, Annabel winked playfully before turning and walking away.
She wasn’t deliberately avoiding the media, so the moment the reporters spotted her, they surged forward and surrounded her.
Ever since Annabel and Rupert’s grand engagement ceremony, she hadn’t appeared publicly, so no one expected her to show up now. And with the recent uproar surrounding Margo, the media immediately speculated that Annabel had come to address Margo’s situation.
In the blink of an eye, Annabel found herself engulfed by a swarm of journalists. If it weren’t for Rupert’s precautions, she might have been knocked over.
“Ms. Hewitt, care to shed some light on the recent incident involving your company’s artist, Margo?” one reporter asked.
“Does Star Entertainment meddle in the private affairs of its artists?” another pressed.
“The internet is buzzing with rumors. Can you set the record straight?” a third chimed in, eager for an answer.
Annabel’s lips tightened into a thin line as she squinted against the barrage of flashing lights. Only when the rapid-fire questions began to ebb did she lift her gaze, her voice steady and composed.
“As our company has stated before, we kindly request that everyone refrain from fixating on our artists’ private lives. The upcoming finale of Margo and Rory’s campus drama is what deserves your attention. Please redirect your focus accordingly p>

With that, she cut off any further probing. She had already coordinated with the company staff to disperse the media outside and steer them away.
Just then, Annabel’s phone vibrated—Margo’s agent was calling.
“What is it?” Annabel asked, a prickle of unease tightening her brow.
“Margo is missing! She didn’t show up on set today, and she isn’t answering my calls or messages p>
The background on the agent’s end was loud, but the urgency in her voice was unmistakable.
“When and where did you last see Margo p>
The agent paused and moved somewhere quieter. “I didn’t see her yesterday. The last person who saw her was Rory—you know, after what happened yesterday p>
“Where are you now?” Annabel asked tightly.
“I’m on my way to Margo’s apartment. I don’t know if she’s there p>
“Alright. I’ll be there soon.” Without hesitation, Annabel turned and headed straight into the company building.
At that very moment, Rory stepped out of the elevator with his assistant. When he spotted Annabel, a flicker of emotion passed through his eyes.
