Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 2144

Everyone seemed pretty solemn after hearing the news. Ian took some time out of his day to give Sean a call, and he got straight to his point by asking if Sean knew anything about Leah's situation. Sean had just heard the news at that point. "Yeah. The news hasn't been released, though. How did you hear about it?" Sean paused for a moment before he realized how Ian might have found out. "Was it Logan?"

"Yeah," Ian replied before telling Sean about what he heard from Logan. Sean received a similar version of the news, but he told Ian about his thoughts. "I heard that Simon came back just a while ago. I'm not sure when his exact return date was, but I wonder if he's related to this." Sean hadn't given much thought to Leah, especially after what Logan did to her. She had been bedridden in the hospital for a while, and her face had been ruined. Sean didn't care much about her as he assumed that she wouldn't be able to do much with the state she was in. He was, therefore, shocked when he heard about the news of her death.

When Sean got his men to investigate Leah's situation, he received the news of Simon's return. However, nothing was certain just yet, so Sean figured that he would wait for the police to announce their findings. Ian was rather worried for Sean. "Will you get in trouble? Things seemed to have ended badly for her, and you had a fight with her previously."


Sean sighed. "It's fine. I didn't do anything, anyway, so I'm not worried. If the police drop by to interrogate me, I'll just tell them the truth. I didn't do anything, so they won't be able to put the blame on me." Even though what Sean said was true, it was also likely that his business would be affected once the news was out.

While Ian was worried about Sean, Sean felt more worried about Ian. "I'm fine since the public doesn't follow my life as much. We all know each other in the business industry, and the news doesn't affect us since we can do a simple cost-benefit analysis to figure what's the best way forward for everyone. But you're an artist—I'm afraid you might be the one who's more affected by the news. You should talk to your company about it. Perhaps it would be best to prepare some legal documents before anything happens."

Ian licked his lips thoughtfully. "I don't think I'll be affected that badly. I'm not in the same city as her, anyway. I don't think my career will be impacted since I won't be a suspect." Sean let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Ian's words. "Well, that's good then. We shouldn't be too bothered by the news if it doesn't affect us. Now that this is over, I guess we can close this chapter of our lives."
