Chapter 2286


    Estelle paused before speaking, then finally said, "There''s been some unpleasantness regarding the


    contract termination, and thepany doesn''t want Leighton to leave without consequences."


    It was evident that Estelle wasn''t being entirely truthful with her. Estelle was smart and cautious. The


    chances of him confiding in Ste were slim as Leighton was still drunk.


    Ste pondered for a moment before saying, "I''ll post a rification on Facebookter. You can reach


    out to Nicole and have her exin the messy news online too. I''ll handle thewyer coordination from


    my end. The sooner we address this, the easier it will be to clear things up."


    The "affair" scandal surrounding Leighton was fabricated. However, what was true was dragging


    Leighton into the mud with allegations of "sexual harassment.”


    Ste felt it wasn''t solely the work of Leighton''s agency.


    If she were Leighton''s boss, a top-tier talent she had nurtured, she believed that even if he terminated


    his contract, his poprity wouldn''t vanish overnight. Moreover, Leighton had gotten involved with


    someone like Nicole, a movie star. No one could predict how far his career might go in the future. There


    was no need to escte things to the point of cutting ties forever. In the entertainment industry, there


    were only permanent interests, no permanent enemies.


    This seemed more like someone manipting things against Leighton.


    After ending the call, Ste posted a photo of the three siblings online, blurring out Trevor''s eyes.


    Caption: "My brother and my cousin don''t really look alike, do they? @ Nicole"


    In the photo, Ste stood in the middle, with Trevor on the left and Leighton on the right; Noah Hall,


    Leighton''s younger brother, had been cropped out.


    Although Trevor''s eyes were blurred, the lower half of his face still bore a striking resemnce to


    Leighton. However, in terms of stature and build, Leighton was taller and more muscr. After all, as


    an idol, body management was very strict, so Trevor appeared more refined.


    As soon as the Facebook post was published, Nicole promptly reposted it, saying, "Not alike at all.


    Clearly, your cousin is more handsome."


    These two Facebook posts quickly gained traction.


    Someonemented below, "What''s the point of blurring the eyes? The mistress and the legitimate


    girlfriend are doing a good job coborating on their public rtions."


    "The entertainment industry''s top opportunist. When something happens, he lets thedies respond. Is


    the man himself dead?"


    "In the paparazzi''s photos, doesn''t that guy also wear sunsses? How can you all identify him as


    Leighton at a nce?"


    "Isn''t the main point here that Ste calls Leighton her cousin? If this were a PR stunt, wouldn''t it be


    more appropriate to call him a friend? Why tell such a lie? If it''s false, won''t it be exposed with a simple


    check?"


    "Have you ever noticed that Leighton and Ste actually look quite alike? They even share the same


    last name, Hall."


    "Seriously, looking at the three people in the photo, when you cover their eyes, they all seem like the


    same person. The lower half of their faces look too simr."


    As the debate continued, someone released another set of photos online, this time showing Ste and


    Trevor''s faces clearly captured in the lobby of a hotel. This time, there were no blurred faces, and it


    was immediately obvious that it wasn''t Leighton.


    Ste thought the hotel might have leaked customer information and quickly contacted Trevor.


    Trevor said, "I know, I had someone release it. How dare they mess with me and bully that stinky brat


    on my behalf. I’m being kind to them already!”


    Ste had initially blurred Trevor''s face to avoid exposing his information unnecessarily and causing


    any trouble, but since Trevor didn''t mind himself, it didn''t matter anymore.


    She chuckled and said, "Leighton once told me you used to beat him up a lot when you were young. I


    guess you do care for Leighton after all, huh?"


    Trevor snorted, "Care my foot! The brat only remembers me beating him up. How about all the game


    consoles and cars I bought him? Ungrateful little rascal!"

    After a momentary pause, he continued, "I''ve already contacted his agent. You don''t need to worry. Get


    some rest and take care of yourself."
