Chapter 939:
“I’m sorry, but Rory and I have finished our work for the day, and we’ve already answered questions about the movie.” Annabel spoke calmly to the reporters, her gaze turning cold. “No further comments. Please excuse us p>
“Miss Hewitt, could you please tell us something… Mr. Kelly p>
The reporters stepped back, but they had no intention of leaving.
Once engaged to the Benton Group’s head honcho, Annabel had become disillusioned with that relationship. Now she was being linked to the most celebrated film actor in town.
It would be a sensational headline.
The reporters couldn’t let an opportunity like that slip away.
“Mr. Kelly, are you planning to develop a closer relationship with Miss Hewitt? Does it bother you that your girlfriend is actually your boss p>
Rory stopped. Annabel glanced at him in confusion.
What was he doing?
Shouldn’t they ignore the questions and leave as quickly as possible?
Rory cleared his throat, smiled, and faced the microphone. “Though I’m only an employee of Star Entertainment, Annabel and I have a lot in common. Actually, I’ve always had feelings for her, and I’m pursuing her now. As for a closer relationship… that’s not up to me. It’s up to Annabel. I have no idea how long it’ll take for her to accept me p>
His words exploded like a time bomb among the journalists. The reporter who got the answer froze for a moment, then grinned with satisfaction.
Camera shutters clicked in rapid succession.
Annabel, however, was stunned.
Anger flickered across her face as she frowned at Rory.
“Well then, Miss Hewitt, how do you feel about it? Do you have a crush on Rory too p>

“Miss Hewitt, please answer our questions… Miss Hewitt p>
With her lips pressed tightly together and her head lowered, Annabel’s polite smile vanished. It was obvious she was irritated by the gossip-hungry reporters. She couldn’t understand why Rory would make a statement like that in front of them when she had already rejected him.
Rory glanced at her, feigning concern. “What’s wrong, Annabel p>
Avoiding his gaze, she shot him a furious look and yanked his arm. “Stop talking nonsense p>
She strode forward, and he hurried after her. They climbed into the van, leaving the reporters behind.
As a result, the news spread like wildfire across the internet the next day.

Five days later, Bella was released from the police station.
She looked almost unrecognizable, as if she were an entirely different person. Walking out, she seemed lost in thought, her expression vacant. When the driver arrived to pick her up, she only glanced at him before looking away again, her face etched with exhaustion.
