Chapter 1129:
The crowd buzzed with excitement, voices overlapping as they speculated.
News of a fight involving the famous movie star Rory and the new actress Margo on hospital grounds spread like wildfire. Reporters soon flooded the scene with cameras, unwilling to miss such sensational gossip.
The area became so chaotic that even security guards couldn’t control it. Only after a long time were Rory and Joziah finally separated. By then, some bystanders had already posted photos of the fight on Facebook, exaggerating what had happened. To internet users, Rory and Margo clearly seemed to have an “ambiguous relationship p>
“Rory and Margo” and “Rory fought another man over Margo” quickly became two of the most searched phrases online. Photos of Rory and Joziah fighting circulated across the internet and were reposted widely.
Meanwhile, at Star Entertainment, the news was everywhere, so there was no way Annabel could avoid hearing about it. Ten minutes earlier, while checking on employees’ progress and reviewing the marketing strategy for a TV series, she had seen a young employee scrolling through the story on Facebook. Annabel immediately told the public relations department to handle it as an emergency.
Now, seated in her office with her hands on the desk, Annabel stared at the computer screen where a video of Rory and Joziah fighting played on repeat.
The person filming had even captured Margo in the shot.
Annabel’s brow furrowed hard. A headache throbbed behind her eyes.
“Where is Rory? He’d better come back right now!” she said sharply into the phone, speaking to Rory’s assistant.
Rory was a grown man. How could he still be so reckless and leave her to clean up this mess?
The public relations department worked to remove the fight videos and calm the wave of Facebook posts. An hour later, Rory and Margo finally returned to the company.
Margo was incredibly nervous. She followed Rory into the CEO’s office and didn’t dare say a word. Her eyes were red, tear tracks still visible on her cheeks. She glanced at Annabel from the corner of her eye, but quickly lowered her head again, silent.

Rory’s face was covered in bruises, and his mouth was swollen and split. His expression was dark, and he didn’t speak either.
“So you finally show up!” Annabel said coldly.
She leaned back in her office chair, lips pressed into a tight line. The moment she saw Rory walk in, anger surged through her. Was he out of his mind? Didn’t he know how famous he was? How could he fight on hospital grounds?
Rory stayed silent. Margo, however, panicked and tried to explain. “Annabel, here’s the thing p>
“I don’t need you to speak for him,” Annabel cut in sharply. But she didn’t want to be harsh with Margo, so she softened her tone. “Margo, go home and get some proper rest. You just left the hospital—your health is what matters most. I need to talk to Rory p>
Margo swallowed, wanting to say more. But when she saw Annabel’s expression, she gave up. She nodded timidly and quietly left the office.
Annabel frowned and shot Rory a mix of helplessness and fury. She stood, crossed her arms, and walked up to him, staring him down. She had never been this angry with him.
