Chapter 1422:
Moreover, Annabel sensed that this issue wasn’t solely targeted at Margo. Nevertheless, the immediate task was to handle the media frenzy outside. Suddenly, Annabel recalled Heather’s unsettling grin as she was escorted away from Bruce’s birthday banquet.
An inkling occurred to her. She promptly dialed Rupert’s number, but he did not pick up. Perhaps he was preoccupied at that moment.
At that juncture, Margo and her agent dashed back to the company and promptly sought out Annabel in her office.
“Ms. Hewitt,” Margo’s agent began, her expression serious as she led Margo into the room, gripping the young woman’s wrist for support.
Margo seemed unwell. With her head dipped low, a black baseball cap concealed her face and any visible emotions.
Observing Margo, Annabel reassured them in a subdued voice, “Take a seat for now. I’ve already set things in motion to address the incident from the press conference. Don’t worry, it will be taken care of p>
Upon hearing this, the agent quickly voiced her concern. “Ms. Hewitt, I sense that there’s something awry about this whole situation. How could such an individual infiltrate the press conference p>
Truth be told, the agent had spent many years in the entertainment industry, encountering a wide range of situations. She had even faced instances similar to the one at today’s press conference.

Margo was overwhelmed by a sense of having let them down. “Annabel, the company has supported me so much, and all I’ve done is cause trouble p>
“Margo, don’t say that,” her agent began, concern written all over her face.
But Annabel cut in, her tone cool. “If that’s how you feel, then it might be best for you to take a breather. Go home. Think it through. Ask yourself whether this is really the path you want. Remember, you’re still part of my team. I’ll handle your problems p>
Annabel stood and walked over to Margo. “Margo, life is rarely a smooth ride p>
Margo’s eyes instantly filled with tears. She threw her arms around Annabel and sobbed uncontrollably.
Annabel patted Margo’s hair and sighed inwardly. In such a short time in the entertainment industry, Margo had endured more than most people faced in an entire career.
Standing off to the side, the agent moved as if to take Margo away, but Annabel shook her head slightly, stopping her. She let Margo cry until she had emptied herself out.
When Margo finally calmed down, Annabel said, “Rest for a couple of days. When you’ve cleared your head, come talk to me. Does that sound good p>
Margo, raw from emotion, sniffed and wiped her tears. “Annabel, why are you so kind p>
