Chapter 1298:
And on top of that, Margo’s relationship had only just been announced.
Annabel lifted her hands and rubbed her temples. It was all starting to feel suffocating.
“Do you think we should hold a press conference?” Rupert asked, noticing the worry in her expression.
“A press conference won’t solve anything,” Annabel said. “Those journalists will keep spouting nonsense unless bribery is involved p>
She stretched her arms, then leaned back into Rupert’s embrace, closing her eyes for a moment as if trying to steal a bit of peace.
“I’ve already ordered someone to handle it,” she added. “As for the journalist—if he dares stir up more trouble, he should prepare himself for a lawsuit p>
She lifted her head and looked up at Rupert with a pout. “I can’t even get proper rest on holiday p>
Rupert lowered his head and kissed her gently on the lips.
Meanwhile, Margo—the one now under the harsh glare of public scrutiny—sat in her hotel room, facing her agent’s grim expression.
She pressed her lips together, debating whether she should say anything. In the end, she chose silence.
“You two… just thinking about it is giving me a migraine,” the agent muttered, rubbing her temple. Even though it had happened days ago, the internet had stirred again, and everything was spiraling back into chaos.
“We already said it, didn’t we? We were filming,” Margo replied. Truthfully, she had been confused ever since that night.
Rory… he really was the bane of her existence.
“Do you think anyone would believe that?” the agent snapped. To her, the excuse was laughable.
Margo puffed out her cheeks and kept quiet. She didn’t dare argue.

“The production team is going to film the bar scene so they can add it to the trailer,” the agent said, handing Margo the revised script. “Once we finish filming the ad this afternoon, we’ll go straight to the bar p>
Margo didn’t respond. She only stared at the script on the table, her hands clenched into tight fists in her lap.
“Margo, be honest with me. Do you really like Dr. Hopkins?” the agent asked suddenly.
Margo nearly dropped her cup. When she saw the agent’s sharp, probing look, guilt pricked at her.
“Of course,” Margo said, forcing an awkward smile. “Why would I date him if I didn’t like him p>
She quickly took a drink of water to hide her tension.
The agent studied her for a long moment, then sighed. “That Dunn really should’ve thought twice before confessing at the opening ceremony. Your career is still rising. Going public with a relationship will definitely affect you. What on earth was he thinking p>
“You shouldn’t talk about him like that,” Margo couldn’t help saying.
“You always take his side. You two really are…” The agent trailed off just as Margo’s phone chimed with a new notification.
