The Heiress' Savage Comeback
Neither of them could understand. Elin couldn't help but call Leon. At that moment, Leon and his group were having dinner at a restaurant. They were casually chatting while eating without checking their phones. When Leon heard his phone ring, he answered, "What's up?" Elin was infuriated by his question and said, "What's up? Everything!" Without thinking, she questioned him, "Do you really not trust me? You've been hiding everything from me. It's so unreasonable." Today, she had been bombarded online with evidence of Leon's relationship with Jodie, which was extremely upsetting. What she couldn't tolerate and was most upset about was that Leon had been keeping everything from her. Leon respected his agent, but that didn't mean the agent could question him in that tone. "Be clear, what have I been hiding from you? Can you calm down? If you can't speak properly, I'll hang up first." Leon's voice and tone turned cold as if he had poured a bucket of cold water on Elin. Only then did she realize that jealousy and anger had clouded her judgment. Taking a deep breath, she apologized, "I'm sorry; I was just angered by the things I saw online, which caused me to overreact. Have you seen the latest trending search? You're on the list again. Half of today's trending topics are about you." Leon replied, "I was having dinner. I didn't check." "What happened?" Elin suppressed her emotions and said, "Photos of you and Jodie meeting privately were posted online, and each one is very ambiguous." Leon furrowed his brow and asked, "How could there be such photos?" Elin wanted to roll her eyes. I have the same question. But he actually turned the question back to her. "It should be the surveillance video of you two meeting alone. Someone took screenshots. And someone unintentionally or intentionally followed you and took photos of your encounter." Leon's brows furrowed even deeper, "Watch your words. We didn't have any encounter." Elin didn't want to argue about this with him, "Apart from that, there are also photos of you and Jodie wearing matching 450-thousand-dollar couple pendants that have been dug up. You both attended separate events and wore them on multiple occasions."Leon was puzzled. "What couple pendants? I didn't have any!" When did I wear a couple pendant with Jodie? This is ridiculous. "Either someone is spreading rumors or the photos have been manipulated." Elin laughed in frustration, "We had the technical department verify it, and the photos haven't been manipulated at all. Are you still not willing to tell me the truth? How can we handle public relations like this?" Leon was even more puzzled, "I can't tell you something if I haven't done that thing before. I'll call you back after I check the trending list." He hung up the phone and checked; sure enough, he saw the "intimate photos" of him and Jodie. After finishing, a wave of anger surged in Leon's chest. All these photos were taken at tricky angles, creating ambiguity.The photo of Jodie sticking to him was because she accidentally slipped and fell on him. He helped her up and created some distance after that. The one where they were looking down together was when they were reading messages on their phones. When he noticed that as soon as Jodie leaned her head against his, he immediately moved away. And the one where their lips were close to each other was even more outrageous. That was when Jodie leaned in to talk to him, and he suddenly sat up straight. Her lips touched his ear. The angles of these photos were too cunning, so even if he went out to explain, not many people would believe him. He didn't know who was behind the scenes, causing trouble for them.It was obvious that there was a team behind this. Leon didn't suspect Simone in this case. Firstly, he thought it was unlikely for Simone to obtain surveillance videos and deliberately hire someone to follow them. Secondly, he didn't want to believe that Simone would be so ruthless toward him. After logging out, he went to look at the other photo. Opening the photo, when he saw the marked pendant, a look of astonishment appeared on Leon's face. His heart sank even more. This was the jade pendant that person gave him, saying it was specially blessed for him to wear for safety. That's why he had been wearing it all the time.Sometimes, it would accidentally be exposed, and it would be captured in photos during events. This time, when he came to livestream, he thought he might have to do some physical work in the village, so he was afraid of accidentally breaking the jade. That was why he put it in the safe and didn't wear it. And the pendant Jodie was wearing was definitely not from him. He didn't even know that Jodie had one. Looking at the pendant introduction that netizens dug up, there were only two limited-edition pieces in the world. The key point was that they were not sold separately. With this realization, what else did he not understand? Jodie's jade pendant must have been given by that person as well.At this moment, not only was Leon filled with anger in his chest, it also showed on his face. He almost couldn't help but smash the phone in his hand. How could he explain this? He couldn't help but wonder if that person had planned it all in advance. He even suspected that the previous intimate photos were also taken by that person. Seeing Leon's dark and unpleasant expression, he looked like a lion ready to explode at any moment. Aaron and Jodie exchanged a glance. What's going on? It was their first time meeting, and Leon, who had always been calm and reserved, was showing such strong emotions. Thinking about how he reacted after looking at his phone, both of them went to check Facebook and the trending topics.And then they were stunned. Aaron couldn't believe that Jo and Leon had such a close relationship behind the scenes. What made it even more ambiguous was that they were wearing matching couple pendants. He stared at the two of them in disbelief and blurted out, "What's your relationship?" It was well-known that Leon was Simone's boyfriend, something their entire family was aware of. So, even though he loved Jo, it was difficult for him to accept that they were secretly involved behind Simone's back. Jodie never expected that the photos of her and Leon alone would be dug up like this. The ambiguous photos were taken through screenshots and secret shots. However, they were all intentionally staged by her to create an ambiguous atmosphere, hoping to attract Leon.Of course, she couldn't admit to that. Regarding the couple pendants, they were not a gift from Leon. They were actually a birthday present she received. If she hadn't seen the photos on Facebook today, she wouldn't have known that Leon had one, too. Otherwise, she wouldn't have worn it several times to events just because she liked it in order to maintain her image and avoid any compromising situations. Upon hearing Aaron's questioning, Leon immediately denied, "We're just friends, nothing more." Jodie also regained her composure and said, "Our relationship is not what people on the internet are portraying." She felt almost driven crazy, as people were cursing at her based on these photos, even though she was innocent. She couldn't reveal her true feelings about Leon in front of him and her brother. Nor could she admit it online, as she would be seen as a home wrecker and heavily criticized.Aaron's face was filled with anger as he asked, "If you have no relationship, then what about those photos and the couple pendants? Do you dare to say that you didn't secretly meet without our knowledge?" The photos were solid evidence and had been verified. This statement left Leon and Jodie unable to argue, as they had indeed met alone on numerous occasions. Leon explained, "Yes, we have met, but it's not what the rumors online are saying. The photos were taken from tricky angles and manipulated." Aaron stared at him with anger in his eyes and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? Even if you take photos from tricky angles, you still have to be physically close to each other! Leon, you scumbag, being with Simone and secretly engaging in this kind of behavior. Do you think you're worthy of Simone?" he angrily exclaimed, "No wonder she broke up with you, no wonder she cut ties with you, you're just too much." Leon's betrayal and harm to his own sister was simply despicable.
