Chapter 1305:
Rory looked into Margo’s eyes and softened his tone, trying to steady her.
But Margo shook her head and said quietly, “Let it go p>
“Let it go?!” Rory snapped.
Margo’s words stunned Rory. He hadn’t expected her to say that, and surprise flashed plainly across his face.
“Forget it. Let it go,” Margo repeated, shaking her head. She didn’t want to drag herself into even more trouble.
Besides, she had already been dissected online far too much lately. She was sick of the messages, and the public was sick of her name too.
“Margo, how can you just let him go after what he did to you?” Rory asked, bewildered, gripping her shoulders. He couldn’t understand her reaction at all.
“What else can I do? What can I say?” Margo’s voice trembled. “There’s no surveillance camera in the dressing room, and he walked out covered in bruises. Who knows what he’ll claim happened p>
Anxiety surged through her, and she didn’t even realize she had raised her voice. She looked at Rory, then let out a helpless sigh.
“There’s nothing I can do,” she said, quieter but no less pained. “No matter what people online say or do, this will be a hot topic for a few days and then it’ll pass. Rory, you might be fearless, but I’m not. I’m scared. You know my reputation has already been ruined on the internet—just because p>
Margo blinked back her tears and forced a bitter smile. She didn’t finish the sentence, but she had said enough.

Even if some people criticized him, Margo had taken the full blast—countless rumors spreading like wildfire. As a public figure, that kind of scandalous talk could destroy her image.

After a moment, Margo added, “At least he didn’t do anything p>
The smile she wore as she said it was so forced it made Rory’s brow knit.
Looking at her, Rory felt something unsettling.
It was as if she was steadily losing something inside herself.
“Margo…” he murmured.
Margo gave him a faint smile.
“Why are you here?” she asked, trying to change the subject.
“Margo! Why won’t you be honest with me?” Rory finally snapped. “What did you just say? You said he didn’t touch you, right? But it’s obvious he hurt you p>
“Rory p>
Margo shot to her feet and glared at him. “Why are you meddling in my business?” she demanded coldly. “What kind of relationship do you think we have p>
Her heart felt like it was being stabbed again and again. Deep down, she wished Rory would disappear from her life, so she wouldn’t have to indulge those sweet, dangerous dreams and fantasies ever again.
Rory looked like he wanted to say something, but he changed his mind.
