Mr. Kane Got cklisted Chapter 1369 [Eleven Jewell]
Leighton’s face darkened as he stared at Nicole. “I didn’t quit because I can’t handle the role. I quit
because I don’t want to act with you as my partner.”
“You said the same thingst time, yet you couldn’t even nail a simple kissing scene. You kept bumping
into my teeth. It’s been two years since then. Have you finally figured out how to handle kissing scenes?”
Nicole asked with a smile.
Ste was shocked to hear that she said that in front of everyone. Leighton seemed to take Nicole’s
words to heart, and his expression grew even more unpleasant.
Leighton was a top-tier idol, and Nicole was the youngest three-time award-winning actress. Both of
them had high national recognition. No one dared to intervene in their conversation. Rather, they were
d to not be involved in the drama.
Estelle was terrified when she noticed that Leighton was on the verge of exploding. Ste gently tugged
at his arm and whispered, “Don’t be rash. You’ve portrayed this role brilliantly. Are you sure you want to
give it up?”
Leighton’s throat tightened. Although Ralph’s screen time was not extensive, he was a special guest in
the film.
Leighton had invested a lot of time and effort into bringing the character to life. He genuinely enjoyed
ying the role. To give it up now honestly did not sit well with him.
Seeing his expression soften, Ste added, “Your fans are watching. They’ve been waiting for you since
the beginning of this shoot. Do you know how disappointed they’d be if you quit?”
Leighton had a soft spot for his supporters. He did not depend on his family’s background to debut in the
entertainment industry. Instead, he worked hard and relied on his fans’ unwavering support to climb to
stardom. He might not say it often, but he dreaded the thought of disappointing the people who had
supported him all along.
After some thought, Leighton gradually regained hisposure. He shot a nce at Nicole and
retrieved the script from the director. “I’m going to touch up my makeup,” he dered firmly.
Nicole appeared somewhat disappointed when she realized Leighton did not take the bait. She turned to
Ste and smiled, “Hello, Miss Jewell.”
Ste responded courteously, not surprised that Nicole recognized her. After all, during her previous
altercation with Be, Nicole had posted something on Facebook that indicated she was aware of the
situation.
Perhaps to prevent an on-set confrontation between Leighton and Nicole, Stuart had not scheduled
scenes where they would have to work together today. Instead, they were asked to reshoot some of the
previous scenes in the movie.
During her break, Ste asked Estelle, “Estelle, what
happened between Leighton and Nicole? Why are they at each other’s throats?”
Estelle shrugged and said, “Actually, I’m not entirely sure. They worked together on a movie before,
where Nicole yed Leighton’s stepmother. However, the stepmother was rather flirtatious and ended up
seducing her stepson, which is the character Leighton yed. He was just starting his acting career then
and was barely in his early twenties. He knew very little about acting and could not even find his marks
on set. He honestly yed the role well. However, once the show waspleted, he immediately upped
and left.”
“He even skipped all the movie’s promotional roadshows. He also steered clear of any projects or variety
shows that involved Nicole. I found it weird. So, I talked to the production team back then and…” Estelle
nced around cautiously before whispering, “It seems like they got too deep into their roles, and what
was initially just acting evolved into something more. After some time of being together, Nicole realized
that Leighton was too young for her, and they broke up.”
Estelle’s words left Ste taken aback. ‘It seems like she’s even more of a gossiper than I am,’ she
thought.
‘If I remember correctly, Nicole is Vermont’s ex who likes girls. How could she have had a romantic
rtionship with Leighton? I bet things aren’t that simple. But I can’t ask Leighton about it since his
reaction was so intense. This is so frustrating!’
Just as Ste was contemting the situation, Keegan called. She picked up the phone and asked,
“What’s up?”
“Ste, my engagement ring has been deformed,” said Keegan.
Ste paused before responding, “I’ll take it to get repaired for you when I have some free time in the
next couple of days.”
Keegan pursed his lips and said, “The gold is too soft; the ring is likely to change its shape again even if
you get it fixed.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
