Chapter 2301
So, when Nicole mistakenly assumed that Dr. Sanders was arranged by the company, he didn't bother to correct her. He just had this inexplicable feeling that if Nicole knew it was his mother's arrangement, she would probably feel upset. It was like... not talking about light in front of a blind person. It just felt unethical.
While the wound was being treated, Stella called to check on him. She had been watching the live stream and was very worried when she saw Nicole get injured. She sent several WhatsApp messages to Leighton, but when he didn't respond, she called.
"It's no big deal," Leighton said softly. 'Tm with her at the doctor's, getting her wound treated."
"You're not hurt, are you?"
"No."
Stella said, "Aunt called me. She's very worried about you. She's afraid of bothering you, so she asked me to check on you. Where are you now?
Keegan and I can come over."
"No need, Stella, really. I'm fine." Leighton quickly declined. Stella was heavily pregnant, and he couldn't risk having her rush around. If anything happened, both her husband and his cousin would come after him.
"My mom is just worrying for no reason. Don't mind her. I'll call her later to let her know I'm safe."
Stella still wasn't reassured. "I saw that the media have surrounded the place where you and Estelle are staying. Do you have somewhere to stay tonight? If not, I can arrange for someone to pick you up, and you can stay at my place for a few days."
Leighton felt a warmth in his heart and said gently, "There are so many hotels in Rivera. I won't be short of a place to stay. Don't worry, I have more than one place to go."NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Stella sighed. "This mess is my fault. I never thought someone would follow me."
Leighton smiled. "Stella, do you think those paparazzi can't tell if the person dining with you is me or not? Our relationship is clear with just a look at the household registry. They just wanted to use this as a trigger. The real aim is the subsequent slander and defamation."
First, they threw out the hint of his infidelity, and before he could clear it m
up, a "victim" appeared. Stella clarified their relationship; but then the victim produced a series of screenshots, vividly describing how she was wronged, confidently going live to share her story. Mixing truth and lies, even the fake parts were believed by some.
After sobering up, he had been thinking about how to clear things up, and then Nicole directly took him to report to the police. He had seen all kinds of PR tactics in the industry, but taking the involved party to the police and confronting the accuser live was unprecedented. However, the effect was immediate.
"Little Sweet Potato" had already paused the live stream, and the so-called solid evidence hadn't been ΧΟ
released yet. She hadn't responded to the netizens' doubts or the media inquiries. Estelle said that Nicole's move had actually turned things around.
Stella was still very worried about Leighton's situation. After thinking for a moment, she decided to share her suspicions. "Leighton, besides the company wanting to terminate your contract, have you made any enemies in the industry?"
