Chapter 63 Unexpected Ruthlessness.
In another car.
Leon stared intently at Simone’s updated Facebook post, his face filled with disbelief.
Not only did Simone publicly announce their breakup on Facebook, but she also recorded their conversation from that day.
And now she had posted it without any mercy.
Did she already anticipate this and wanted to protect herself? This realization was difficult for him to accept, and it caused a deep pain in his heart.
How could this happen? We were fine before; how did it turn into this? Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was his manager, Elin, he answered, “What’s up?”
Elin Harmon’s voice carried a rare sharpness and urgency. “Have you seen Simone’s Facebook post? You’re being criticized by many people for your breakup.”
Leon remained silent for a moment before saying, “Yes, I’ve seen it.”
Elin was furious, “Is Simone crazy? She didn’t even discuss it with you and just stabbed you in the back like this.
This sudden turn of events caught us off guard.”
Just when Leon had posted on Facebook that they were still together, Simone revealed that they had
already broken up.
And she even had recorded evidence to prove it.
It made it impossible for them to refute and say that Simone had faked the breakup, or that she was just seeking attention.
Leon rubbed his temples with his hand, “I didn’t expect her to be so ruthless.”
She deliberately wanted to humiliate him, and the timing was just perfect.
She must have planned it all.
Elin asked angrily, “Why didn’t you tell me about your breakup with Simone before?” If Leon had told her before appearing on the variety show, she could have prepared earlier.
Leon held the phone to his ear.
Leaning back in his chair with a sense of despair, he said, “I didn’t agree to break up with her before.
I thought she was just throwing a tantrum, and we would reconcile.”
He had never considered breaking up with Simone, so he didn’t tell anyone.

Elin took a deep breath, “We need to react immediately now. Otherwise, everyone’s going to think you’re a cheater.”
She had already disagreed with Leon’s collaboration with Titus before.
As expected, problems arose.
Now she not only disliked Simone even more but also started to dislike Jodie.
And the dislike surpassed her annoyance toward Simone.
After all, she had been hiding a secret that she dared not reveal–she liked Leon.
Leon asked. “How will we deal with this?”
Elin countered. “You tell me first, is Jodie your secret lover? Is she the one you truly like?” She suppressed her bitterness and added, “I need to know. Only then can I work with the PR team to come up with a plan for you.”
Leon denied without hesitation. “There’s no secret lover. It was just something Simone said in anger.
She misunderstood me.”
All along, the only person he liked was Simone.
He protected and treated Jodie well for other reasons, not because she was his new love interest.
He didn’t expect Simone to have such a deep misunderstanding about his relations with Jodie.
So, although it pained him, he believed that as long as he explained things clearly to Simone, they could reconcile.
Elin was skeptical. “If that’s the case, then post another Facebook update denying that Jodie’s your secret lover and that you liked her.
“Say that you and Jodie’s brother are childhood friends, and that’s why you’re helping to take care of
her.
We need to clear up the rumors about you two–timing.”
Otherwise, it would greatly affect his reputation, as some fans have already unfollowed him because of this.
Leon thought for a moment, “Alright, I’ll post it”
This way, he could not only prove to Simone and others that he and Jodie were innocent.
It would also prevent Jodie from being dragged into this.
After saying a few more words, he hung up the phone.
And then posted another update on Facebook.
Leony: I have no secret lover. The only one I like is Simone,

Her brother is my childhood friend, and I’m taking care of her because of that trust.
With this Facebook update, his fans felt much more at ease.
And they kept commenting, showing their belief in him.
Leon’s PR team immediately started shifting the blame and hatred to someone else.
Titus told his PR team to cooperate.
As a result, Leon’s fans quickly went to Simone’s Facebook page and asked her to stop spreading rumors and inciting hatred.
The onlookers, who were enjoying the drama, also started to doubt the “secret lover” and “true love” situation.
On the other hand, Zac’s team saw the Facebook update and listened to the recording.
They strongly agreed with Simone’s actions.
Since they had already broken up, a decisive counterattack was the way to go.
Although Simone was currently gaining popularity through the variety shows, her position was still
unstable.
If Leon and the others voluntarily exposed their relationship, it could potentially ruin her future.
Simone didn’t need to be polite.
The more she acted this way, the more people would appreciate and like her.
She would still break up with an award–winning movie star because he was a cheating, two–timing sc*mbag.
They were thinking about how to add fuel to the fire when they saw Leon’s new Facebook update.
So, they started communicating with Simone in the group chat.
“Miss Gray, we listened to your recording. Did you break up with Leon mainly because of Jodie?”
Simone: “Jodie was just the trigger. I broke up with him because Leon wasn’t worth it.
It took two to tango, and she had broken up with Leon mainly because of his choices and betrayal.
She had always agreed with the philosophy of an eye for an eye!
Have you seen the new Facebook post by Leon?
Simone just finished reading it. I have seen it, but it’s not so easy for him to deny everything.
Are
you saying that you have evidence against both of them?
Simone: I wouldn’t call it evidence, but I have screenshots and photos of them meeting privately.

After breaking up with Leon, she already suspected that their relationship would be exposed and become a big scandal.
So, she used hacking methods to capture screenshots of their private meetings from some surveillance footage
She also hired a private detective who took photos of Leon and Jodie secretly meeting before the variety show.
They had no need to meet in private so many times if it was just because of Titus‘ request for Leon to care for Jodie. And she specifically instructed the private detective to find angles for the photos so some of them looked intimate and ambiguous,
She was waiting for Leon and his team to come out and spin the narrative, and then she would expose them and prove them wrong.
Indeed, being well–prepared is crucial.
Zac’s team members were pleasantly surprised when they saw this.
They found Simone’s work impressive, as it allowed them to counterattack immediately.
Are
you willing to share it with us? We will post it online and prevent them from covering it
“Otherwise, if we let them successfully cover it up, their team will definitely defame you and accuse you of spreading rumors about Leon.
After all, they initiated the attack against you‘
Simone replied, ‘Sure, I will send it to you right away
She then opened her email, downloaded the saved photos, and sent them to the group.
The team members quickly saved the photos.
Miss Gray, leave the rest to us. Take a good rest.
If there’s anything, we will communicate with you through the group.’
Simone said, ‘Okay, thank you all!‘ Then Zac Turner’s PR team promptly began their work.
