Chapter 2301


    So, when Nicole mistakenly assumed that Dr. Sanders was arranged by thepany, he didn''t bother to correct her. He just had this inexplicable feeling that if Nicole knew it was his mother''s arrangement, she would probably feel upset. It was like... not talking about light in front of a blind person. It just felt hical.


    While the wound was being treated, Ste called to check on him. She had been watching the live stream and was very worried when she saw Nicole get injured. She sent several WhatsApp messages to Leighton, but when he didn''t respond, she called.


    "It''s no big deal," Leighton said softly. ''Tm with her at the doctor''s, getting her wound treated."Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    "You''re not hurt, are you?"


    "No."


    Ste said, "Aunt called me. She''s very worried about you. She''s afraid of bothering you, so she asked me to check on you. Where are you now?


    Keegan and I cane over."


    "No need, Ste, really. I''m fine." Leighton quickly declined. Ste was heavily pregnant, and he couldn''t risk having her rush around. If anything happened, both her husband and his cousin woulde after him.


    "My mom is just worrying for no reason. Don''t mind her. I''ll call herter to let her know I''m safe."


    Ste still wasn''t reassured. "I saw that the media have surrounded the ce where you and Estelle are staying. Do you have somewhere to stay tonight? If not, I can arrange for someone to pick you up, and you can stay at my ce for a few days."


    Leighton felt a warmth in his heart and said gently, "There are so many hotels in Rivera. I won''t be short of a ce to stay. Don''t worry, I have more than one ce to go."


    Ste sighed. "This mess is my fault. I never thought someone would follow me."


    Leighton smiled. "Ste, do you think those paparazzi can''t tell if the person dining with you is me or not? Our rtionship is clear with just a look at the household registry. They just wanted to use this as a trigger. The real aim is the subsequent nder and defamation."


    First, they threw out the hint of his infidelity, and before he could clear it m


    up, a "victim" appeared. Ste rified their rtionship; but then the victim produced a series of screenshots, vividly describing how she was wronged, confidently going live to share her story. Mixing truth and lies, even the fake parts were believed by some.


    After sobering up, he had been thinking about how to clear things up, and then Nicole directly took him to report to the police. He had seen all kinds of PR tactics in the industry, but taking the involved party to the police and confronting the user live was unprecedented. However, the effect was immediate.


    "Little Sweet Potato" had already paused the live stream, and the so-called solid evidence hadn''t been ΧΟ


    released yet. She hadn''t responded to theizens'' doubts or the media inquiries. Estelle said that Nicole''s move had actually turned things around.


    Ste was still very worried about Leighton''s situation. After thinking for a moment, she decided to share her suspicions. "Leighton, besides thepany wanting to terminate your contract, have you made any enemies in the industry?"
