The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 69 Don't Dwell On It, It's Impossible

The ringing stopped briefly before starting again. Titus answered the call, "What's wrong?" Jodie cried and complained, "Titus, I feel awful. Aaron bullied me. Not only did he not believe me, but he also scolded me and left me alone." Titus listened to Jodie's complaint. Normally, he would comfort her and then call and scold Aaron. But now, he raised his hand and pinched his nose, his eyes filled with exhaustion. "Why did he scold you? Is it because you have a complicated relationship with Leon?" He asked in a deep voice, "Jo, tell me honestly, are you secretly involved with Leon?" Jodie thought Titus would comfort her and then call Aaron to vent.Little did she know that he would ask her three consecutive questions. "I didn't. Leon and I have a platonic relationship." She felt even more wronged, "We are not secretly together, Titus, don't you believe me either?" Titus fell silent for a moment, "The evidence online makes it hard to believe that you have no relationship." Jodie exclaimed, "I truly have nothing with him. If you don't believe it, then forget it. You all bully me." Then she angrily hung up the phone. In the past, when she was "bullied" by Simone in the Gray Family, it was just an act. But now, it was real. Since entering the Gray Family and being pampered and spoiled, she had never felt so wronged before.And it was because of Titus and the others who cherished Jodie like a precious gem. That's why she was throwing a tantrum now and hung up the phone on her own. She hoped that Titus would call back and comfort her. Unfortunately, Titus was also angry this time. After being hung up on, he was so angry that he threw his phone on the ground. Jodie waited for several minutes, but Titus didn't call back. She was so angry that she almost wanted to throw away her phone too. Aaron didn't come in to find her either. Jodie could only walk out crying. She saw Leon standing not far away, and Aaron had returned to his car.Jodie thought for a moment and walked up to Leon. "Leon, I'm sorry. It was just Aaron's impulsiveness that made him misunderstand what we said about you. I will explain it to them." As Jodie approached, Leon immediately took a few steps to the side. He kept a distance from her before saying, "It's okay; I didn't take his words to heart." But Leon's action hurt Jodie. She was about to explode with frustration. What does Leon think I am? A ferocious beast? "Leon, what should we do now? No matter how you want to clarify, I will fully cooperate." She knew that Leon was not like her brothers. That was why she endured the grievances and showed her generosity and thoughtfulness.Of course, she didn't want to be blamed for ruining Simone's relationship. Otherwise, she would be cursed to death. How could she continue to thrive in the entertainment industry and become a top-tier actress? This required Leon to solve it. Speaking of which, Leon's headache worsened, "I don't know either." Just then, Leyla's car arrived. Upon seeing this, Leon said to Jodie, "I'm leaving now. If there's anything that needs clarification, I'll contact you." Then he turned around and walked toward the car. Without even looking back, he got in the car, leaving behind Jodie with swollen eyes and tears all over her face. And neither of them noticed that not far away, a girl was taking photos with her phone.She not only took a picture of the two of them standing together but also captured Jodie's current appearance. Jodie saw the car driving away. She realized that Leon was also insensitive, which made her furious and helpless. She could only return to the car they had originally sat in. She opened the car door and sat in the back seat. Ignoring Aaron, she leaned against the window and sobbed softly, waiting for Aaron to take the initiative to appease her. When the driver saw the two of them getting in, Leon and the other car had already left. He immediately started the car and followed them. The director had already learned about the restaurant incident from the staff who had been dining with the three of them. He was speechless and couldn't help but sarcastically say, "They deserve it. They shouldn't have done it if they didn't want this to happen, right?" Meanwhile, on the internet, a popular online celebrity who usually specialized in making funny videos posted on Facebook. He said that he happened to encounter the production team and saw Leon and Jodie seemingly quarreling. Jodie's eyes were swollen from crying, and Leon was angry and left alone in the car. He also posted the photos he took. When everyone saw it, they saw Leon's unpleasant expression and Jodie crying. Then, Leon and Jodie went their separate ways, looking upset. Everyone started speculating whether these two were having an affair and got caught, so they started fighting and judging from their appearance, it really looked like a couple's quarrel. More and more people joined in criticizing the two, making the already unfavorable situation even worse. Elin was almost driven crazy when she saw all this. She hadn't figured out how to handle the previous incident, and now this happened. Will it ever end? Why is Jodie so restless? On the other hand, Simone and the others were keeping up with the latest developments. Zac spoke up, "There's no way to explain their relationship now. It's impossible to clear their names." Simone smiled and replied, "Yeah, it's impossible." But this was just the beginning, as they both said. Elin and Titus' teams had spent half a day discussing, but they couldn't come up with a solution to clear their names.Elin contacted Leon again, "You understand the situation now, right? What should we do?" Leon replied, "I didn't give Jodie the couple necklace." Elin asked, "Then why does she have it?" Emphasizing, she said, "It's a limited edition that is not sold separately, and there are only two in the world." Leon truthfully answered, "Someone else gave it to her." Elin asked again, "What about yours? Did the same person give it to you?" Leon replied, "Yes." Elin continued, "Who is this person?" Leon paused for a moment before saying, "An elderly man." Elin pondered for a moment and suggested, "Could we invite the person to step forward and provide clarification?"Leon remained silent for a moment and then responded, "That wouldn't be appropriate. And the Internet wouldn't believe it either. If it was just a photo, we might be able to clear it up, but now, with the couple necklace, you didn't believe we were innocent, did you?" Elin inquired, "What should we do then? If this situation continues to escalate, it will severely damage your reputation." Leon appeared exhausted and replied, "I'll make a post on Facebook, regardless of whether people believe it or not." This undeniable "evidence" would be impossible to erase. "Jodie and I are just friends. If anyone has the ability, they can search for proof of our inappropriate relationship. I'm not afraid." Elin was left speechless. Was Leon suggesting that they give up? She suggested, "Why don't you go and ask that elder?" Leon immediately dismissed the idea, "Don't even consider it; it's impossible. Let's just leave it at that." He ended the call and proceeded to make a post on Facebook. @Leonv: I want to clarify once again that Simone is my girlfriend, and I have no inappropriate relationship with Jodie. I didn't give her the necklace. He reclined in his seat and closed his eyes. Leyla, seated in the passenger seat, glanced at Leon through the rearview mirror and secretly sneered. In her mind, she cursed him for pretending to be innocent when he was actually a cheating scumbag. He deserved it. All six guests were returning to Cebros, so the show's team had purchased tickets for them on the same flight. By the time Leon arrived, they were already boarding. As Leon entered the cabin, he noticed Simone and Zac sitting together. He couldn't help but walk briskly towards them. Addressing Zac, he said, "Mr. Turner, would you mind switching seats?"
