Chapter 1335:
With a slow exhale, Annabel looked at her with quiet disappointment. “So you used Dunn as a pawn to provoke Rory p>
Margo gave a faint nod.
“Does Rory know how you feel about him?” Annabel asked, unable to ignore the question that followed.
“I told him.” As Margo recalled her confession, the bitterness in her eyes thinned, replaced by a strange, steady calm.
“Rory made it clear he only sees me as a sister. He p>
Her gaze drifted away from Annabel, her voice controlled.
“He has his eyes on someone else p>
“Margo, I never expected you to resort to tactics like this. And what about the incident at the bar?” Annabel’s question made Margo’s throat tighten, her hands curling into fists in her lap.
“That was all my doing,” Margo whispered. “I hurt Dunn p>

Margo went rigid, as if a spell had frozen her in place.
Watching her reaction, Annabel continued, “You said earlier the pain was unbearable. Is that a hangover… or is it—” She tapped lightly toward Margo’s chest. “Is it here that hurts p>
Margo parted her lips, but no words came.
“Ask your heart, Margo.” Annabel sighed, her gaze steady. “What are you truly afraid of losing p>
Margo slowly lifted a hand to her chest, feeling the faint pulse beneath her skin.
The moment her thoughts drifted to that person, her heartbeat quickened, the rhythm turning erratic—then sharpening into a dull, aching throb.
“If you truly don’t love Dunn, then visit him and support him as a friend. There’s no need to keep yourself trapped in this state p>
As she said that, Annabel rose to her feet.
“Have you figured it out? If you have, then get ready and go to the film set. I’ve put too much effort into promoting you for you to waste it on a never-ending vacation p>
