Chapter 1421:
“Responsibility?” The reporter’s smile widened, as though amused by the answer.
“Yet rumors have circulated about unexplained absences during your time on set. Is that your version of responsibility?” Her tone sharpened. “And then there was the gossip that once went viral—about you juggling two relationships at the same time, something you never fully clarified. Care to explain it now p>
The pointed scrutiny threw Margo completely off balance. She shot her agent a pleading look, discomfort written all over her face.
The organizers were equally stunned. Reporters’ questions were usually screened in advance by the people in charge—mostly insiders from Star Entertainment—so that Margo would be asked safe, likable questions to boost her image. This cutting attack was the last thing they had expected.
And because the event was live, it was a disaster.
As expected, the online forums exploded. Viewers eagerly waited to see how Margo would respond, while detractors seized the chance to hurl insults. After all, the earlier scandal had once drawn enormous attention.
Seeing the uproar, Margo’s agent started forward, but Margo grabbed her hand, stammering, p>

The staff were left scrambling. The abrupt turn of events threw them into chaos, and the only option was to cut the live feed immediately.

“I’ve already notified them. The company is handling it,” Margo’s agent reassured her, stepping in to comfort her.
But Margo lowered her head, unable to speak.
She replayed her earlier answer in her mind. Was she truly responsible as an actress?
She had skipped work without explanation, and her relationships with the two men were far from clear. A wave of bitter humor rose in her chest.
This was the real Margo—nothing like the flawless image the camera captured.
Margo drew a deep breath, about to say something, when Rory interrupted. “We should go back to the company p>
As he spoke, he placed a steadying hand on her shoulder. Margo swallowed her words instead, lips pressed tight, thoughts churning.
Before long, the livestream caused an uproar, dragging two previously settled issues back into the spotlight. At the company, Annabel quickly grasped what was happening.
She immediately contacted the PR team, yet a nagging sense of unease remained.
This was definitely more complicated than it looked.
