Chapter 1260
Chapter 1260:
“She waved goodbye to you when we ran out,” Margo said, blinking at him inquisitively.
Dunn didn’t know whether to laugh or be exasperated. Unable to help himself, he reached out and pinched her cheek.
“What was that for?” Margo protested, her face twisting from the pinch.
“My dear, you dragged me out of there so fast that I left my credit cards and the clothes I picked behind,” Dunn said, sounding both amused and resigned. He pointed at the tagged outfit Margo was wearing. “I haven’t even paid for what you’re wearing p>
Margo’s face flushed as she looked down at the tags. “Then what do we do now? Should we go back and get them?” Her expression turned serious.
“I’ll contact someone at the mall and have everything delivered directly to the parking lot,” Dunn replied with a helpless sigh.
Margo looked up at him, and they both burst into laughter at the same time.
In that moment, Margo realized the unexpected chaos of the day wasn’t entirely bad.
Ever since Candace returned to Douburgh, she had stayed shut in her room, unable to show her face openly. But Ellis took it upon himself to investigate Annabel’s whereabouts for her.
As a result, Annabel had been dealing with trouble after trouble lately. On her way to work, for example, a flowerpot had fallen out of nowhere, nearly striking her. Incidents like that kept happening.
At first, it seemed like an isolated accident. But when the “accidents” continued, Annabel couldn’t help but suspect foul play. They looked like coincidences on the surface, yet it felt more like someone was deliberately targeting her.
But who?
Uneasy, Annabel asked Anthony to help her get to the bottom of it. To her surprise, two days later, Anthony delivered a chilling update.

“I found her,” he said. “The person behind all of this—I found her. And she’s at Ellis’s villa right now p>
“What?” Annabel frowned slightly, though her gaze remained calm. Candace had returned to Douburgh so soon after escaping from prison—but why? The question unsettled her.
As Anthony repeated the information over the phone, Annabel fell silent for a few seconds before replying, “Alright, I understand. Keep an eye on Candace for me p>
“Of course. And Annabel, I have a feeling Candace came back to work with Ellis again. Their targets might be you and Rupert. You need to be careful,” Anthony warned, genuine concern in his voice.
Annabel’s voice carried a steady calm. “Okay. I understand. Thank you p>
After ending the call, unease settled over her. No matter how she tried, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. She knew she had to tell Rupert that Candace was back, so she called him.
The moment Rupert heard the news, his expression turned grave. “Alright. Tomorrow is our engagement ceremony. If Candace dares to show up, we’ll have people watching her closely. Don’t worry about anything else. Just focus on being the radiant bride you’re meant to be tomorrow p>
