Leon watched as Gwen disappeared through the doorway. He sat on the ground once again, filled with anguish. There's a saying, "Late affection is worth less than grass." But he had always had feelings for Simone. Otherwise, how could he have attracted her attention and relied on him when they were young? Did he make a mistake? The wine was knocked over, but the bottle remained intact. He picked it up, continued drinking, and drowned his sorrows in alcohol. When Adam returned, Melinda caught him and complained to him. He went upstairs to find Gwen, only to discover she was gone. Seeing Leon's room door open, he walked in and found him in such a desolate state. At the sight, Adam frowned. "Drinking won't solve anything." Leon looked up. "Then, what can I do?" The older man closed the door tightly and walked to his son's side. He sighed, reached out, and patted Leon's shoulder. "If you're already involved, you can't run away. To break the deadlock, you need patience. You're still too naive." Leon didn't understand. "What do you mean?" "It's nothing." Seeing Leon so disheartened, Adam felt a pang of sympathy. "Don't be so devastated over a woman."Leon chuckled. "Isn't that what you did for Mom? I guess it runs in the family." Adam's eyes deepened. "I'm different from you." "What's the use of regretting now after plotting before?" Leon looked at his father and asked, "So, what should I do?" Adam thought for a moment and said, "There are only two options now. Why don't you give up and let go of all your thoughts?" Leon smiled bitterly. "If I could, why would I be in such pain?" Then, the older man continued, "Then, gather yourself and try again to fight for it." "Don't bother her, or she'll only dislike you more. When she needs support, go and be there for her. Maybe you can touch her heart and change her mind." The last sentence comforted Leon. "Alright, I'll do my best." He suddenly asked, "Dad, you don't want me to marry Jodie?" Adam laughed. "Why would I want you to marry Jodie? That's your mother's idea, not mine." Leon raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you afraid Mom will get angry when she finds out?" Adam returned the favor and did the same thing. "Then, will you complain to her?" "No." Leon laughed. "Then, it's settled," Adam commented and patted Leon's shoulder again. "Grow up, kid." After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and turned around and left. Leon had always been aware that Melinda had a clear preference for Reuben. He thought Adam also seemed to favor Reuben. But in reality, he didn't treat him and Gwen poorly. However, as he watched Adam's retreating figure now, he felt an indescribable sensation, as if he was becoming increasingly enigmatic. On the other side, Gwen took the documents and returned to the studio. She placed them in the safe and went to Simone's office. Simone was checking the online trends at the moment. When she saw the manipulation that had been released earlier, she knew that Scumbag No. 2 wanted to provoke her relationship with Zac. He also wanted to instigate a fight between their two fan bases. However, Scumbag No. 2 clearly underestimated their fans. When Gwen entered and saw Simone lost in thought, she smiled and asked, "What are you thinking about?" Simone snapped back to reality and said, "I'm thinking about how to continue provoking Scumbag No. 2." Gwen became excited when she heard this and asked, "How do you plan to provoke him?" Simone's current words definitely didn't refer to counterattacking, so she replied, "Scumbag No. 2 has made a series of arrangements. The first arrangement was foiled by Zac and his fans on their own. Scumbag No. 2 must be very unhappy about it and is holding back his anger. Then, he will proceed with the second arrangement, using fake accounts to expose the fact that I signed with Fiona and provoke a backlash." She paused and continued, "Originally, I thought I would let him provoke and enjoy it for a while, but now I've changed my mind. I want to take the same approach as him and leave him with no way out. I want him to realize that I anticipated his actions and make him furious." Gwen agreed. "That's a good idea. So, are you suggesting that we voluntarily expose this matter?""Exactly." Simone knew that Gwen understood her. "I will reveal it myself, rendering all their preparations useless. With his arrogance and the belief that everything was under his control, he will definitely be infuriated. Let him feel defeated and utterly frustrated." Gwen clapped her hands. "That's a great idea!" Simone sent a message asking Mr. Wills and Fiona to come to the office. After the two arrived, she explained her intentions. Mr. Wills smiled and said, "This counterattack is good. It will definitely hit Titus hard." He had always been arrogant. If he found out that Simone anticipated his actions and acted first, he would definitely be angry and frustrated. Fiona smiled. "Although I don't understand all this, I think it's more satisfying this way. I support it and will fully cooperate." Simone knew Titus' habits and could roughly guess when he would have his team expose the matter. She told Fiona, "Tomorrow morning, I will post an announcement on Facebook welcoming you to join the studio. You just need to reply to the announcement. "Titus will definitely send his fake accounts to curse, and your haters, especially those who were misled before, will also come to curse. I will post another announcement, and you will need to share it. "After that, we don't need to worry about it. Just wait for the situation to escalate." She smiled meaningfully. "Let the Gray Family spend money to buy trending topics and fake accounts to boost our popularity. "The more they hype, the more advantageous it is for you to turn the tables. We can save a lot of money on reputation management. Then, we can invest it in Gray Entertainment and compete with them, making more profit. Perfect!"Gwen laughed. "The Gray brothers will want to thank us later." Others couldn't help but laugh as well. Simone really had a cunning plan. They were looking forward to seeing the expressions of the Gray brothers when they found out. It must be exhilarating. After discussing the next steps, Fiona and Mr. Wills left the office with smiles on their faces. Gwen and Simone shared with each other the conversation they had overheard between Melinda and Leon. Simone smiled and said, "You said exactly what I wanted to say." It wasn't a case of 'better late than never.' She didn't care about it and didn't mind either. Leon and the others made their choices for various reasons, and once they made them, they couldn't undo them. Moreover, there was still a deep connection from their past lives. How could she forgive and forget in just one reunion? Gwen said, "Because that's what I believe." Afterwards, she let out another sigh. "I really wish I could slap my past self right now." Simone put her arm around her shoulder and remarked, "Who hasn't fallen for a jerk when they were young? Just focus on the present and the future." Gwen nodded. "You're right. I won't slap myself anymore." She touched her face and cherished it, saying, "I'm so beautiful. It would be a shame to ruin it." Simone laughed. "Exactly." The following day, Titus arrived at the company early in the morning. After checking the time, he instructed the operations team, "Begin the exposure at ten o'clock in the morning." Five minutes before ten a.m., his assistant suddenly knocked hurriedly on the door and rushed into the office. "Mr. Gray, something's wrong. Simone just posted on Facebook, disrupting our plan."
