Chapter 547
Chapter 547:
In other words, Annabel was the rich lady that Rory had been pursuing all this while.
No wonder Annabel had been so familiar with Rory as soon as she came to Douburgh.
She had chosen Rory over him so many times.
But now he understood. She was the woman Rory had pursued for two years.
Annabel, the woman from the countryside? A bumpkin? All that had been said about her was fake.
How many things exactly was Annabel hiding from him?
Rupert looked at the people on stage, his eyes flashing with all sorts of emotions.
Earlier, when Rory knelt and proposed to Annabel, Rupert had almost exploded with anger.
He was ready to stop them, but Talia went ahead of him and caused a scene. He thought it would end there, but once they got rid of Talia, Rory went back on his knees to propose again.
Rupert couldn’t let it be. He stood up and strode toward the stage, ready to take Annabel away, with or without her approval. But her explosive news made him stop not far away from the stage.
Annabel faced all the shocked faces with a smile and continued, “Well, Rory and I came up with this proposal idea to publicize Star Entertainment’s new play p>
Huh? They orchestrated this just for the publicity of their new play?
Everyone was talking about it at this point.
A smile remained plastered on Annabel’s face. “Star Entertainment is soon going to launch a large-scale costume drama called The Emperor’s Women. I will also be a guest performer in this play. This proposal was just to promote The Emperor’s Women. I can see that it worked perfectly p>
After a pause, Annabel looked down at Rory coldly and asked, “Isn’t that so, Rory p>

Rory froze for a second.
The light in his eyes dimmed.
He looked down for a moment, disappointed.
He had thought that Annabel wouldn’t be able to turn him down if he did this in front of the whole world at the award ceremony.
He would have never expected that she would rather reveal her true identity to discreetly turn him down.
This only made him understand one thing—Annabel didn’t like him even a little.
After pulling himself together, Rory stood up and said in a bitter tone, “That’s right. We were just promoting our new play p>
Annabel smiled and looked down at the crowd. “The Emperor’s Women will be the most important drama of Star Entertainment. Rory will play the leading male role. I know you’re eager to know who the female lead will be, but we’ll keep it a secret for now. Please look forward to the show p>
“Thank you for your support,” Rory added with a smile.
Rory deserved the Best Actor Award. He was very disappointed and hurt, but he hid his emotions well.
“Wow! So Rory and Annabel performed such a wonderful proposal scene just to publicize their new drama? Who would have imagined that was the case?” Brevard felt bad for Rory. After a few seconds, he forced a smile and said, “What a unique way of promoting your drama. Now, let’s continue from where we left off p>
