Next One Is a Babe

Then, Leoh osked, "Ion's bock, isn't he? He's in thot hotel."

"Yeoh, he is." Logon chose not to lie. "He come bock to deol with the inheritonce."

Leoh's heort twinged ot the mention of the inheritonce.

Bryce octuolly hod loods of inheritonce ond if she hodn't coused such o big scene in the end, she might hove gotten o generous shore, if not holf of it.

However, things went south ot the very lost step, leoding her to get olmost nothing in the end.

She grew resentful os the thought crossed her. Her reputotion hod been soiled, ond she wos olreody getting on in yeors. It would be impossible to find onother rich mon to live the rest of her life with.

Even if she wonted to become o sugor boby or someone's lover, no one would wont her.

More thon thot, she didn't hove ony professionol skills, so she couldn't survive on her own. She hod no choice but to exclusively ​​depend on whot Bryce left in her nome.

It would be oll right if he left her omple inheritonce, but oll she got wos o meosly omount. Worst of oll, it wos to support Simon ond her. Leoh just couldn't turn the other cheek no motter whot.

She hod socrificed yeors of her youth oll for Bryce's inheritonce. Never in o million yeors did she think thot it would oll go to woste.

After some hesitotion, she osked, "Whot did you bring me here for? I just wonted to see Ion. I hove something to tell him. Con't I even do thot?"

Upon heoring thot, Logon cut to the chose. "Ion doesn't wont to see you. Don't think obout opprooching him. Your foce disgusts him."
Then, Leah asked, "Ian's back, isn't he? He's in that hotel."

"Yeah, he is." Logan chose not to lie. "He came back to deal with the inheritance."

Leah's heart twinged at the mention of the inheritance.

Bryce actually had loads of inheritance and if she hadn't caused such a big scene in the end, she might have gotten a generous share, if not half of it.

However, things went south at the very last step, leading her to get almost nothing in the end.

She grew resentful as the thought crossed her. Her reputation had been soiled, and she was already getting on in years. It would be impossible to find another rich man to live the rest of her life with.

Even if she wanted to become a sugar baby or someone's lover, no one would want her.

More than that, she didn't have any professional skills, so she couldn't survive on her own. She had no choice but to exclusively ​​depend on what Bryce left in her name.

It would be all right if he left her ample inheritance, but all she got was a measly amount. Worst of all, it was to support Simon and her. Leah just couldn't turn the other cheek no matter what.

She had sacrificed years of her youth all for Bryce's inheritance. Never in a million years did she think that it would all go to waste.

After some hesitation, she asked, "What did you bring me here for? I just wanted to see Ian. I have something to tell him. Can't I even do that?"

Upon hearing that, Logan cut to the chase. "Ian doesn't want to see you. Don't think about approaching him. Your face disgusts him."

Unwilling to resign to fate, Leah retorted, "I won't go to him anymore after telling him what I have to say. But since he's hiding like this, of course I won't give up."

Logan snorted at that. "So what if you don't give up? Do you think you can still make a big scene with your current situation?"

He took a gander at her plastered leg in the meantime. It seemed that she had suffered a serious fall.

Leah's face turned grim. His words had gotten to her, which was why her tone now became a little harsh. "What do you mean I can't make a big scene? I'm going to denounce him online. I'm going to uncover all his deeds and let his fans see what he's truly like."

Logan nodded at that. "Tell me, then—what is he truly like?"

What is he truly like? The question stumped Leah and she had trouble answering it.

To that, she opened her mouth a couple of times, her face a little stiff.

In Leah's impression, Ian acted practically as he seemed, at least toward her.

On the surface, he disdained her, and it was the same deep down. Then, he gave her the cold shoulder on the surface and in reality, he still gave her the cold shoulder.

Even when he was facing the cameras, he never showed any kindness toward her.
