Chapter 1403:
His remark at the party caught Annabel off guard. She recoiled and shot him an embarrassed glance.
Bruce looked as though he was about to say more, but Rupert stepped in, pulling Annabel into his embrace.
With the gifting segment over, the birthday party reached its midpoint. Bruce enjoyed a lively atmosphere, but too much clamor grated on his nerves. As the event drew toward its conclusion, he took his leave.
Although it was Bruce’s birthday celebration, the attendees were all from high society—people from influential families. Their motives weren’t limited to celebrating his birthday; they were eager to expand their networks. The latter half of the party gradually transformed into a networking wine event.

Annabel leaned closer, reassuring her. “No, I don’t see that happening. Whatever you do, your boyfriend will be there to defend you. After all, your love for each other is obvious—and honestly, it’s quite enviable p>
Annabel’s playful tease made the usually timid Margo blush instantly.
Margo glanced at Dunn beside her, smiling at him with open affection. A helpless sigh escaped Annabel. Had she known better, she wouldn’t have teased her friend, only to be forced to witness this heartwarming display.
“By the way, how’s the film crew doing? I recall the shooting is nearing its end p>
“Indeed,” Margo confirmed. “The wrap-up party is just around the corner, and we’ll be filming the final two scenes the day after tomorrow p>
“You still have hard work ahead,” Annabel reminded her. “You’ll need to maintain the illusion of affection with Rory for the promotional tour, even after filming wraps up p>
Despite Margo’s current relationship status, many fans still shipped her with Rory. Keeping up those public appearances of mutual fondness would help retain part of that fanbase and boost the new production’s popularity.
As an experienced actress, Margo understood the drill and nodded without objection.
