Chapter 1145:
Margo stared at the badge and saw Dunn’s name. Then she glanced down and noticed her sleeve was rolled up and her arm was bandaged.
Looking at Dunn again, she felt he didn’t seem like a bad person.
“You… saved me p>
She rubbed her temples, trying to piece together the previous night. A name surfaced in her mind.
Joziah…
“To be honest, I’m your fan. I’ve watched all your movies,” Dunn said with a light chuckle as he picked up the cold pack from beside the bed.
“Last night, I saw a man talking to the bartender and then taking you away. I had a bad feeling, so I followed him. And I was right—he didn’t have good intentions p>
A chill ran down Margo’s spine as her memory gradually returned.
That despicable man—Joziah—had drugged her.
If Dunn hadn’t been there, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Dunn seemed like he wanted to say something when he saw her frown, but he stayed quiet. Margo noticed anyway.
They sat in silence for a long moment before Margo finally lowered her gaze. “Thank you… for everything. If you hadn’t been there, I don’t know what would have happened p>
Dunn handed her the glass and spoke gently. “You should be more careful in the future. You’re a public figure. Going to a bar alone is risky p>
Margo nodded and drank the water quietly.
Then, all at once, she remembered something. She instinctively patted herself down, searching.
Startled, Dunn set the thermometer aside. “What are you looking for p>
“My phone.” Margo took a sharp breath. She hadn’t gone home all night. If her agent found out, she would be torn apart.

She turned her head and spotted her phone on the bedside table. She lunged for it, only to realize it was powered off. In that instant, it felt as if her future had gone dark.
“What’s wrong?” Dunn asked, worried.
Margo looked at him miserably, clutching the phone. “Do you have a charger? I didn’t mean to ignore calls. It must have died p>
She plugged it in, waited just long enough for it to turn on, and immediately called back.
The moment the line connected, her agent’s furious voice poured through.
“Margo, can’t you behave yourself? You’re a celebrity! Don’t you know the media is watching your every move p>
Pulling the phone away from her ear, Margo sniffled, tempted to end the call on the spot. Instead, she forced herself to answer, “I know, I know. I’ll be back soon p>
“Where are you right now? I’ll come pick you up.” On the other end, Margo heard a door open and close, as if her agent had already started to leave.
“I…” Margo almost told the truth, but the moment she realized she was in a man’s home, she swallowed the words.
“No need. I can get back by myself. I’ll go straight to the company. You don’t have to pick me up p>
