THE BILLIONAIRE IS INFATUATED WITH HIS EX-LOVER
Chapter 35: News revealed that Leon was cuckolded

While Jessica was in class at school, her phone suddenly rang with Mrs. Laly's number. Jessica knew something was wrong through the anxious, panicked tone of the conversation. According to Mrs. Laly, she excused herself from her teacher and rushed to the hospital; little Lina had developed a fever and needed urgent medical attention.

"How is everything, Mrs. Laly? Is it serious?" Jessica asked upon arriving.

Mrs. Laly, gripping Jessica's hand, broke down in tears.

"This morning, after you left, I gave Lina some milk, and she was fine. I put her down to wash some clothes and then heard her crying. When I rushed up, she was already running a high fever." "Don't worry, children often get sick. Let's wait for the doctor to come out and see what they say."

The two sat anxiously on the chairs outside the emergency room. After the Roberts family went bankrupt, Sara gave Mrs. Laly some money to go back to her hometown to be with her children, but she insisted on staying to care for her, willing to endure hardship alongside her. Sara had given birth prematurely and was physically drained; Mrs. Laly had tirelessly stood by her side night and day. To Mrs. Laly, Sara was not just her mistress but more like her daughter.

Having lost her mother at a young age, Mrs. Laly was the only woman who cared deeply about Sara's joys and sorrows. Often seen as stubborn and reticent, Sara harbored many deep, unspoken thoughts, always needing someone by her side. To this day, Mrs. Laly remained anxious for her. As long as Sara continued to harbor the ambition of avenging her father, Mrs. Laly's worries persisted.

Early in the morning, Liz arrived at the company. She was wearing a seductive black dress that showcased her alluring curves, simultaneously reading the news on her phone and smiling.

Ahead, a group of people were gathered, buzzing with conversation. Seeing Liz approach, they pulled her into their midst to inquire about this and that. "Is this true, Miss Liz?"

Liz held her head high, her white coat billowing with a hint of triumph.

"She didn't believe me? That woman has men in such abundance she doesn't even know who fathered her child."

The crowd's excitement grew as they exchanged rumors more eagerly, forgetting this was their workplace.

"Mr. Smith has always favored her, but now he must be so embarrassed. To think she was juggling two simultaneously, poor handsome billionaire."

Liz watched her colleagues' regretful expressions and couldn't help but smile, pulling them closer to whisper.

"Ever since Jee joined the company, her closeness with boss Tulln made me suspicious. He likely knew about her child long ago, and they've conspired to whitewash their past."

"You mean there was an affair between them?"

"No, no. That's your claim, not mine."

"No wonder Mr. Smith has been assigning her key projects. It's a shame you've been at a disadvantage for so long. But don't worry, karma will catch up with those who don't deserve their fortune."

Surrounded by colleagues who offered sympathy and encouragement, Liz was visibly pleased. Each of her statements targeted Jee. She was sure this scandal would lead to Jee's downfall, and she would be her replacement.

Jee had to cancel all her appointments for the week due to a scandal reported by the media, accusing her of deceiving Leon and having a child with another man.

Last night, after hearing her daughter was ill and hospitalized, Jee secretly visited, only to be caught by paparazzi. More damning, she was discovered while on a date with Leon.

Numerous overzealous fans had blocked her car at the film set, hurling eggs and vegetables at it and berating her with harsh words. They demanded the film crew replace the lead actress and remove all billboards featuring her image, claiming she no longer fit the role of the naive and innocent character.

Given the circumstances, Henry had asked Jee to stay home for a few days while the company made arrangements.

"Director, if I remain silent now, the public will think I am fleeing because I am guilty. I need to hold a press conference to clarify this matter."

"How do you plan to clarify this? What is your relationship with that child? If handled poorly, your reputation could suffer greatly, and the risk of being sued for damages by brands is high. Can you bear the consequences?"

"I will take responsibility for my actions," I firmly declared.

In a burst of anger, Henry turned and shouted, causing even boss Tuin next to him to startle.

"Your stubborn, baseless attitude resembles her. How many more secrets do you have that you haven't shared with us? I'm giving you one last chance."

Unable to contain her frustration, Jee retorted vehemently.

"I will handle my matters properly. You are the boss; you manage the business but do not have the right to interfere with my relationships."

"Do you know what most often causes people to fail? Greed. If you want to be famous, admired, and loved, you must be beautiful in appearance and character, not just an ordinary person without glamour. Don't expect to be famous yet live comfortably without public scrutiny. You are too greedy."

Henry's words awakened a realization in Jee. If she wanted to achieve her goals, she had to be willing to sacrifice certain things; otherwise, she would never succeed. Once famous, her private life would become the subject of public discussion, and all her secrets could be exposed.

Jee didn't want anyone to harm her son, but the power of public opinion was overwhelming. With no other option, she resolved to remain silent and wait for the storm to pass.
