The Heiress' Savage Comeback
Zac was surprised when Leon immediately wanted to switch seats with him as soon as they boarded the plane. Looking up at Leon, Zac commented, "Leon, did you forget to check yourself in the mirror before getting out of the car?" Confused, Leon asked, "What do you mean?" Raising an eyebrow, Zac continued, "Do you really think someone like you can dictate what I do?" Leon choked, "Zac, you've gone too far. I need to talk to Simone, so please switch seats." Zac thought Leon was shamelessly persistent. He sneered, "You want to switch seats to talk to Simone? Did you even ask for her permission?" Before Leon could answer, Simone, who had been engrossed in her phone, spoke up without looking up. "No, you can't." Zac shrugged at Leon, "Leon, you heard it too. Simone doesn't want to sit with you." Leon panicked and looked at Simone, "Simone, I really need to tell you something urgent." He pleaded, "Can we talk for just a moment?" Simone looked up at Leon and replied, "Sorry, we're not close enough for that." "What if people misunderstand if we switch seats? I don't want to attract attention by being seen with you again. It'll just waste the public's time." This remark was filled with sarcasm. Leon immediately understood Simone's intentions. She must have known that they were the ones who leaked their relationship. "Can you give me three minutes?" He took a deep breath, "There are things I must explain to you." Simone looked away from Leon and picked up a magazine, flipping it open. "I'm not interested in your explanations." Her attitude and actions clearly showed that she had no intention of dealing with Leon anymore. Simone had never realized before that Leon could be so persistent and annoying. Leon was hurt by Simone's words and actions. But he also knew that if he didn't clarify things with Simone today, given her personality, they might not be able to reconcile. He insisted on talking, "There is a big misunderstanding between us, and I just want to clear it up."Simone continued flipping through the magazine, ignoring him. Zac took out his phone and opened Facebook, then suddenly reached out and handed it to Leon in front of his face. "Leon, you're wearing matching couple necklaces with someone else, and now you're putting on a show again. What's the meaning of this? You're a big movie star with millions of fans, so why bother getting involved in such an ugly situation?" Leon looked at Zac with disgust in his eyes. He pushed his hand away and said, "My relationship with Simone has nothing to do with you." This jerk was trying to steal his thunder and had been causing trouble between him and Simone, which was shameless. Leon and a few others were the last to board, while the rest had already taken their seats. The other passengers in first class were all curious and looking in their direction.Some people secretly took out their phones to record. Aaron sat not far away, listening to their conversation. He glanced at Simone, checking her reaction. After a moment of thought, he walked over and put an arm around Leon's shoulder. "Leon, since Simone doesn't want to listen, you shouldn't bother anymore." Then he tried to lead Leon to another seat while still holding onto his shoulder. However, Leon shook off Aaron's arm. He gave him a cold glance and said, "It's none of your business. Now, you want to play the role of a loving brother? Do you think Simone will pay any attention to you?" Now Leon was annoyed by Aaron as well, always being a hindrance. Aaron didn't expect Leon to be so harsh with him. He was infuriated. He stole a glance at Simone, who was still flipping through a magazine, and he felt a bit upset. He immediately retorted, "I'm not pretending. We really are close siblings." This remark made Zac burst into laughter. He looked at Aaron and said, "I think you should go look in the mirror. No wonder you two get along so well. Both of you have no shame!" Aaron's dislike for Zac escalated, "What business is it of yours when we talk?" Zac pointed to his own seat, "You're blocking me!" At that moment, a flight attendant came over and reminded Leon and Aaron to sit in their assigned seats. Leon couldn't care less about that now.He leaned on Zac's chair with his hand and bent down. He whispered near Simone's ear, "There is absolutely no romantic relationship between Jodie and me. I was asked to take care of her. All those ambiguous actions in the photos are fake." He explained why there were those ambiguous actions in the photos, like Jodie falling down. And then he continued, "The so-called couple necklace is not something I gave her. Mine was given by an elderly man, who said it had been blessed and would bring safety. That's why I often wear it. Jodie's necklace was also given by that same elder. Neither she nor I knew that it was a limited edition couple necklace. If it weren't for someone posting it on Facebook, we wouldn't have known that we had the same necklace." Simone still didn't react. He urgently said, "And the reason why she and I met privately was also because that man asked me to give her something. Or asked her to give me something. Simone, you know me. I'm not stupid enough to intentionally wear a couple necklace with Jodie and give people such incriminating evidence to grab." He spoke gently, "It's all a misunderstanding and coincidence, believe me, okay?" The fellow passengers who were watching the scene saw Leon relenting and heard his explanation. They thought maybe it really was a misunderstanding. Otherwise, why would a big movie star like him need to explain and beg for forgiveness from Simone in such a humble manner? Zac didn't expect Leon, who usually appeared proud and cold, to suddenly act like this. He rubbed his arms and shivered. Then he looked at Leon with an admiring expression, "I've got goosebumps. No wonder he's a movie star; his acting is amazing."Leon wanted to throw Zac off the plane right now. This guy is too annoying. He looked at Zac with cold eyes, "You can just shut it." Zac was about to retort. Simone looked up again and coldly said to Leon, "Are you done, Leon? You deliberately said all this in front of everyone, trying to lower yourself and create a loyal boyfriend image to wash away those online rumors." "The fact that the elder gave you two couple necklaces and told you guys to exchange gifts all the time means he acknowledges you two as a couple." She sneered. "You're saying you guys don't have any ambiguous relationship? Do you think I'm that foolish?" She added, "Besides, we've already broken up and cut off contact. Even if you wanted to act, you chose the wrong person." Leon narrowed his eyes. With a mixture of disbelief and pain, he gazed at her and asked, "Do you believe I am pretending?" He had poured out his genuine emotions to her, only to be accused of putting on an act. Simone chuckled, "What else could it be? If you were truly sincere, why didn't you do it earlier? I've never seen you behave like this before!" Simone was aware that someone was recording the scene. Therefore, she deliberately smiled helplessly and said, "A movie star is always a movie star. If I didn't know you so well, I might have fallen for it." Leon stared at Simone, comprehending everything in that moment. Simone had intentionally orchestrated this situation to trap him. Simone shrugged nonchalantly, "I know I'm exceptional, but you no longer have the opportunity to be with someone as remarkable as me." Then, she gestured for him to follow and said, "Leon, your performance has come to an end, and the plane is about to depart. I kindly request that you comply with the instructions and return to your seat." Leon was now consumed by anger and heartbreak, his expression reflecting a sense of suppression and defeat. How did it come to this?
