Chapter 139
Chapter 139:
Annabel marched back to the car.
Rupert’s handsome face darkened, and his thin lips pressed together.
Was he insecure? No. That made no sense.
Rory might be the king of the silver screen, but Rupert was just as good-looking and talented.
It was Annabel’s fault. She unsettled him.
One day, Rupert would prove he was a thousand times better than Rory.
The following afternoon, Annabel was due to attend an audition with Annie and Rory.
The appointment was in Benton Group’s studio.
When Annabel arrived at the studio, Rory was already waiting, but Annie was not there.
“Annabel,” Rory greeted her with a wide smile and walked over.
“You’re early,” Annabel said, raising her hand to check the time. “There are ten minutes left until shooting time. Annie hasn’t arrived. Please wait a moment p>
Rory nodded. “By the way, the thing you asked me to investigate yesterday has been resolved p>
“You found the person who took the secret photographs? Who is it?” Annabel was impressed.
“Bella Astley. Do you know her?” Rory asked.
So, it was Bella.
Annabel’s face darkened.
It was well known that Bella was a lackey of Heather.
Heather’s hostility toward Annabel was obvious. She had tried to frame her several times.
Most likely, Heather was behind this as well.

No wonder Rupert had received the photo. Heather wanted to sow discontent between her and Rupert, to make him misunderstand the relationship between her and Rory.
“Annabel, can I help?” Rory looked at her.
“No,” Annabel replied, shaking her head.
She had to solve this problem by herself.
Rory knew Annabel’s ability, but he still wanted to help her.
At two o’clock, Annie arrived. She wore very high heels. Brett arrived with her.
“Am I late?” Annie asked, a charming smile on her face.
“You’re just in time.” Annabel led Annie over to Rory.
“This is your partner for the scene, Annie.” Annabel smiled. “Annie, I’m sure I don’t need to introduce Rory to you, right p>
Annie gave Rory a warm hug and said, “I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re more handsome in person than you are on TV, and your reputation precedes you. It’s a pleasure meeting you p>
Rory offered a half-smile. “I hope I don’t disappoint you p>
“Places, please. Let’s begin.” Annabel was about to ask the photographer to start shooting when the staff suddenly quieted down.
