Chapter 1437:
The next morning, when she woke, Rupert was gone.
She went downstairs to find the butler already setting out breakfast.
“Madame, you’re awake p>
Ever since Annabel and Rupert’s engagement, the staff had begun addressing her as “Madame” or “Mrs. Benton p>
Annabel looked around, searching for Rupert. The butler seemed to understand and said, “Mr. Benton has already left for the company p>
Annabel nodded. As he served her breakfast, the butler added, “We’ve found some leads regarding yesterday’s incident p>
“Really?” Annabel’s eyes sharpened.
The butler paused briefly. “It appears Kevin has some connection to the Jenkins family p>
Annabel frowned, her thoughts immediately turning to Jeffery.
It didn’t surprise her. After all, only the Jenkins family had both the audacity and the means to target Rupert.
Then a thought flashed through Annabel’s mind—her eyes shifting slightly.
Annabel remained expressionless. Whether her guess was right or not, she finished breakfast and drove to Star Entertainment as usual.
Margo had been waiting outside Annabel’s office for a long time. The moment she spotted her, she hurried over, beaming. “There you are, Annabel p>

Annabel turned around, surprised. “No wonder I saw a pimple on your face p>
Margo instantly pulled out her phone, switched to the front camera, and inspected her face like she was battling a demon.
Annabel couldn’t hold back her laughter.
As expected, Margo deflated the moment she confirmed the blemish. Actors had to be meticulous about their skin—they were constantly in front of the camera, after all.
“So what did you do yesterday?” Annabel asked as she sat down on the sofa. “You didn’t even sleep p>
“It’s because of the movie Director Sherman is making,” Margo said in a hushed, serious tone. “I’ve been worried something will go wrong. And I’ve been checking horoscopes a lot lately. It says I’m going through a bad period right now p>
“Astrology?” Annabel was genuinely surprised, suddenly feeling like she was too old to keep up with the younger generation. “You really believe in that p>
Margo waved a hand, brushing it off, and leaned in eagerly. “Let’s not talk about that now. Have you contacted Director Sherman Gordon? Is the cast finalized yet p>
