Chapter 1496:
“Annabel, you called me?” Margo suddenly entered the room. She was living with Annabel, but she still showed up to work punctually. “Have you been paying attention to the trending topics p>
Margo paled as she heard this, thinking she was in the news again. “Don’t scare me like that, Annabel p>
“What were you thinking of? Of course it’s not about you.” Annabel was amused by Margo’s reaction, handing her the phone. “Look. The internet is buzzing about Heather’s situation. You should be able to find some peace for now p>
Margo nodded, recognizing the person in the video. “Isn’t that Mr. Benton? How come p>
“We’re not talking about that now.” Annabel cut her off as she began to talk about Rupert. She would need to discuss the matter with Rupert when she had the time.
Margo nodded and quickly fell silent.
“During this period, I plan to send you abroad for a while so you can grow and gain some experience. By the time you come back, you’ll have plenty of good skills and products to show off. That way, your boyfriend’s parents may also be willing to accept you,” Annabel said to the girl.
Margo’s eyes sparkled as she heard the idea. “Yes! Thanks so much, Annabel. I’ll do my best p>
Annabel booked a plane ticket, and on the following day, she saw Margo off on her international journey.

Annabel heaved a sigh of relief as soon as she was back in the safety of her office. She felt much less worried now that Margo’s problem had been dealt with.
Her next task, however, would be dealing with Rupert. She frowned as she remembered the video she had seen on social media. If she didn’t reach out and speak to him, he might end up being snatched away by someone else.
She was in the middle of dialing Rupert’s number when the news headline on the TV caught her attention.
“Flight 3-594 has crashed in Frostfall p>
The anchorman’s clear and solemn tone made Annabel’s heart skip a beat. That was the same flight Margo had boarded. Annabel stared at the TV in disbelief, trying to reassure herself that it couldn’t be true.
Instead of calling Rupert, she dialed Margo’s number—only to hear her voicemail.
“The number you’ve dialed is not in service p>
“Not in service…” Annabel’s lips trembled violently as her chest tightened painfully. The tragedy had struck so swiftly and unexpectedly.
She dialed Margo’s number over and over again, but soon she was greeted by the sound of the phone being turned off. Annabel zoned out, shocked, as she stared at the dark screen.
“We can’t reach Margo p>
Her assistant burst into the office. Seeing the stunned look on Annabel’s face, she realized Annabel had already heard the news.
The office fell dead silent. Just that morning, Margo had been cheerfully calling after Annabel, and now they didn’t even know if she was alive. The assistant took a deep breath, choosing to remain silent.
“Send out a search team, quickly.” Annabel rushed out of her office, flustered.
