Chapter 1486:
“Really? Thank you, Annabel!” Margo’s eyes shimmered with excitement, and she moved to embrace Annabel, only to be gently held back once more.
“Easy now,” Annabel quipped.
Margo scratched her head, feeling a surge of happiness as she watched the rapidly increasing internet data.
In the days that followed, the film’s box office numbers continued to climb, breaking records for the year. And Margo, though only a supporting actress, managed to steal the spotlight from the lead, becoming the focus of countless online discussions. With the movie’s success, she gradually rebuilt her reputation.
In this industry, talent and ability carried real weight. When a project proved someone’s worth, demand naturally followed. Online praise flooded in for Margo’s performance, and only a small number of people dug up her past arrogance to smear her image. Margo had truly risen again.
Riding the high of the film’s success, her mood soared—until a text from her boyfriend, Dunn, lit up her phone.
Dunn told her that her box office achievement was remarkable, and he felt it was time for her to meet his parents.
As Margo read the message, her heart began to race with a mix of excitement and nerves. She hadn’t expected this day to come so suddenly.
She rushed home and tore through her closet, only to realize she didn’t have a single outfit that felt appropriate among all her clothes. Staring at the pile scattered across her bed, she fell into deep thought.
Dunn came from a prestigious family. She needed to make a good impression.
But she was stuck. Outside of stage outfits, she preferred loose, casual clothes. Nothing she owned seemed right for meeting his parents.
With no choice, she went to a boutique and carefully selected an outfit. When Dunn arrived to pick her up, she climbed into the car, nerves tight in her chest, and they headed toward the Hopkins family’s main residence.
is packed with thrilling adventures
The moment she stepped inside, the sheer luxury overwhelmed her. Everywhere she looked, everything gleamed—grand, but still elegant.
“Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins p>
Seated on the sofa, Dunn’s parents looked composed and reserved. Margo greeted them politely, nodding to each of them, before Dunn guided her to the couch across from them.
“Long time no see, Margo,” Myah, Dunn’s mother, said bluntly, her expression unreadable.
Margo froze for a beat, unsure how to respond. Just then, Dunn stepped in.
“Mom, Dad, this is a gift from Margo. She picked it out with great care p>
Margo blinked, caught off guard. She hadn’t expected Dunn to have arranged a gift for his parents.
Relief loosened the tightness in her chest. Dunn really was thoughtful.
Myah accepted the gift, her movements a little stiff. Her face didn’t change. Margo quietly clasped her fingers together, tension creeping back in.
“So, Margo,” Myah continued, “we heard you’re in the entertainment industry p>
“Yes,” Margo replied, swallowing hard. She stole a glance at Dunn beside her, her nerves rising again.
