Chapter 1497:
“The police are already searching. I don’t think our presence would be very helpful.” The assistant’s voice grew fainter as she replied. There wasn’t much any of them could do when it came to life and death.
Regaining her composure, Annabel called Rupert. The call was picked up immediately. Rupert had been waiting for her to call for the past two days.
“Rupert.” Annabel’s usual tone was replaced by desolation, her words choked with tears, alarming Rupert.

“What’s wrong?” The man’s magnetic, gentle voice was a natural comfort to her.
“Margo had an accident. We haven’t been able to get in touch with her.” Annabel mumbled through gritted teeth, regretting her hasty decision to send Margo abroad.
Rupert’s face darkened when he heard Margo’s name, but Annabel’s distress suppressed his discontent.
“The news is saying that Margo’s plane crashed. I’ve tried calling her numerous times to no avail. The police are searching for her, but there’s no news yet,” Annabel sniffled, making Rupert’s heart ache.
He didn’t have a great impression of Margo, but human lives were paramount. He felt the need to help, especially since Annabel was so heartbroken. He couldn’t bear to hear her in such distress.
“Alright, don’t worry. I’ll handle it p>
The gentle confidence in his voice eased her panic. She knew the reach of Rupert’s influence—his people were scattered throughout the country. If he was going to help search for Margo, there might be a glimmer of hope.
“Alright!” Annabel nodded quickly. “Thank you p>
“You’re my fiancée. This is my job p>
Hearing this, a blush crept onto Annabel’s face. She hadn’t expected him to be such a sweet talker.
They ended the call, and Rupert immediately began investigating. He mobilized his forces, who started searching for any trace of Margo near the plane crash site.
Annabel sat in her office all morning, feeling uneasy, blaming herself for sending Margo abroad so soon, which may have led her into this disaster.
“Ms. Hewitt, don’t worry about this. Here, I just brewed this coffee for you p>
The assistant, unable to bear the sight, came in with a cup of coffee, but Annabel remained in a gloomy mood.
This was unexpected for everyone. Not only had Margo recently made significant profit for the company, she also had a great relationship with Annabel. So it was normal for Annabel to react this way.
It wasn’t until the evening that Annabel finally received a call from Rupert.
“How’s it going?” Annabel picked up the phone quickly, speaking urgently.
There was a long silence on the other end, causing Annabel’s anxiety to spike.
“Don’t worry. We’ll find her p>
This sentence struck Annabel hard, and she stared blankly at the ceiling. Hearing no response from her, Rupert grew slightly flustered.
“Please don’t be sad. We’ll find her. It’s just a matter of time p>
Rupert was unsure how to comfort her properly.
“I’m going to find her.” Annabel’s expression suddenly turned stoic and determined as she hung up the phone. She got up, draped the coat from her chair over her shoulders, and ran out of the building. She quickly hailed a cab and gave the driver the location of Margo’s plane crash.
