Chapter 1426:
Even though he was a doctor, Dunn had grown up in the Hopkins family. He wasn’t unfamiliar with the undercurrents of business and competition. He had chosen medicine to stay away from that world, but now Margo was being targeted—and it was clear someone had Star Entertainment in their sights.
“They’re trying to destabilize Star Entertainment through you,” Dunn said calmly.
“Yes!” Margo sat up abruptly and stared at him. “You’re right! Annabel has done so much for me. Instead of standing beside her and fighting, I tried to run away. I’ve been incredibly disloyal p>
She raked her fingers through her hair, her voice thick with regret.
“So, my little princess, have you come to your senses?” Dunn asked with a smile.
Margo nodded vigorously, fresh determination lighting her eyes.
She would work even harder and silence every rumor with talent and perseverance.
“And… if I quit acting, wouldn’t I be letting my fans down?” Margo smiled and playfully nudged Dunn’s chin.
“When’s your next project?” Dunn leaned closer, his voice dropping into a whisper.
“Stay tuned.” Margo’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
“Can you give your fan a sneak peek?” Dunn teased, tightening his arms around her.
Margo grinned and thought for a moment. “Considering how hard you worked today, I think you deserve a reward p>
As soon as she finished speaking, she leaned in and gave Dunn a light peck on the lips.
Dunn looked a little disappointed. With pleading eyes, he gazed at her and said, “What should I do? I’m suddenly exhausted. I had several surgeries this afternoon p>
He was clearly putting on an act, and Margo saw through it at once.
“Then p>
She shifted her gaze and was about to kiss his cheek, but Dunn suddenly turned and captured her lips in a firm kiss, guiding her down onto the sofa.

“Dunn…” Margo breathed his name, her next words swallowed by his hungry kiss.
“Alright, I understand,” Annabel said as she ended the call.
She had assigned someone to keep an eye on Heather and had just received news that the Norman family was considering sending her abroad.
Heather had been confined to the Norman family villa for quite some time. Aside from Hooper, she seemed to have had no contact with anyone else. Still, Annabel doubted Hooper would bother with such thankless, exhausting work.
Just then, a knock at her office door cut through her thoughts. Annabel called, “Come in,” and her assistant entered carrying a stack of documents.
“Here’s all the information regarding that reporter p>
The assistant set the documents in front of Annabel, who looked mildly surprised as she read through them.
Annabel knew of Entertainment Weekly, the reporter’s employer. The outlet was notorious for prying into celebrities’ private lives, even fabricating rumors to draw attention—a habit that had once sparked a major scandal. According to the report, the journalist had slipped into the venue unnoticed. When she realized the final entertainment reporter hadn’t shown up, she took the initiative to question Margo.
