Chapter 116: [Bonus - ]Truth slaps
It was no doubt Leo was a man at the top of his game. He was a celebrity among celebrities — an icon. But before Dominic Zhu, Leo felt intimidated. Dominic hadn’t done anything but say a few words, but his presence and aura alone were entirely of a different caliber.
Dominic’s status played a huge part, of course.
Dominic could ruin someone’s career with ease, or uplift them with a single word, just like what happened to Paula Shen.
Although Leo acknowledged Paula’s talent as an actress, there were far more talented artists out there. She wasn’t as exceptional as Heaven. The point was, Paula got her break because she was being backed by the CEO of LYON Group. Leo had been in the industry to respect a person’s stroke of luck and didn’t think much about Paula’s backer. After all, having a sponsor in the industry was a normal occurrence.
It was foolish to dwell on something one couldn’t change.
But because of this, rumors quickly spread in the entertainment circle. That rumor was Paula being actually Dominic’s secret woman, and she would become the future matriarch of the Zhu Family. Although many people knew Dominic had a son from an unknown woman, marrying a single father like him was no issue.
The rumor started five years ago and even though until now it was never confirmed, people, including Leo, just accepted that they didn’t owe anyone an explanation. It was their relationship and their silence only meant they wanted everything private.
Leo glanced over his shoulders as Dominic walked a step behind him.
’Despite those rumors, I still can’t believe it was actually true,’ he thought, setting his eyes ahead. ’Has he been here since the beginning? Did he see me and Miss Shen?’
