‘It seems like the Saun and Hall families don’t value their sons at all,’ Stella thought.
As she thought about that, she called Leighton. It did not take him very long to answer.
Leighton’s voice sounded as cold as ever, “Stella, is there something I can help you with?”
Stella cleared her throat, “We’re going to play Mah-Jongg. Do you want to join us?”
Leighton was surprised. He pursed his lips and said, “I’m not very good at it.”
“Well, that’s great-no, I mean, that’s okay. I’ll teach you.”
After the “relationship” went public, Leighton rejected all the other jobs besides the annual New Year Gala. So, he was very free at that time and agreed to play.
Stella immediately sent the address to Leighton.
Very soon, they met each other at Unit 902 of Clouditude International.
Indeed, as he had said, Leighton was not good at playing at all. He lost a few hundred dollars in just an hour.
The three showed him their Venmo QR codes, saying,” Thank you, Leighton,” and waiting for him to transfer the money.
Leighton glanced at them and pursed his lips, “Did you three team up against me?”
Felicity immediately said, “No, we did not. Don’t make things up.”
“Tsk,” Vermont clicked his tongue. “I understand if you don’t believe me and Felicity, but what about your cousin? Would she ever cheat you?”
Stella cleared her throat before she said, “I’ll pay for you first. It’s your first time playing with us anyway. Consider it practicing.”
Stella’s psychological tactic immediately made Leighton feel ashamed for suspecting just now.
“It’s okay. I’ll pay.” As he spoke, he transferred them the money.
Stella felt somewhat guilty as she thought, ‘He’s still too young.’
“Oh my god!” Felicity suddenly shouted. “Stella, you’ve become a cheater!”
Stella was puzzled.
Felicity then read aloud while looking at her screen, “After announcing his relationship with Nicole publicly, Leighton is caught having an affair with another lady.”
A photo of them meeting earlier at the entrance of Clouditude International was attached to the post.
Stella took a cab there and waited for Leighton at the gate.
After he arrived, she got into his car and went to the parking lot together.
The reporter happened to take a picture of Leighton picking her up.
Fortunately, she dressed heavily, and the reporter did not manage to capture her face. However, she felt playful and deliberately touched Leighton’s face with her icy hand after getting into the car, causing him to shiver.
The reporter happened to capture that moment, too.
Leighton was fuming.
Everyone scolded Leighton furiously.
After publicly announcing his relationship with Nicole, he was soon caught picking up another woman and having intimate interactions with her. Very soon, the netizens began giving him new names like “Scumbag” and “Playboy.”
Felicity said angrily, “What’s wrong with these people? Is being in the same car considered cheating now?”
Meanwhile, Vermont seemed unsurprised, “Anything can be a problem in the entertainment industry. They could even come up with a tragic love story if Leighton were to give Stella a handshake, let alone pick her up in his car.”
After that, he glanced at Stella and said, “Stella, you’re too careless. Leighton is a superstar now. How could you touch him in his car? There’s no way that his fans wouldn’t go crazy.”
Stella felt guilty, too, “I thought no one could see us because the doors were closed. I didn’t think anyone would capture us.”
Leighton spoke calmly, “It’s fine. They justBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
want to ruin my reputation. If this didn’t happen, they would still find other ways to fabricate things.”
“Who are they?” Vermont paused. “Your boss?”
Leighton nodded.
Not only did Leighton scold his immediate superior, but he also publicly announced his relationship with Nicole without discussing it with the company. The company was furious about his actions.
Leighton’s contract would end in half a year, but he had not agreed to renew it. Instead, he came up with such a scandal. The company hated him for cutting off a potential revenue stream but feared him leaving the company.
After Leighton became famous, the company recruited several new actors with a similar style.
Now that the company knew they could not depend on him anymore, his boss decided to bring him down completely and replace him with another actor.
