THE BILLIONAIRE IS INFATUATED WITH HIS EX-LOVER
Chapter 36: LT Company encountered an incident

The shares of LT Company plummeted due to the scandal surrounding the affair between Leon and Jee. The media department was inundated with calls requesting interviews with their boss. Mark was desperately trying to quell the rumors. Meanwhile, Leon had been silent for three hours straight. He stared at a photo of Jee holding a baby, his brows furrowed, Sara's words echoing in his ears before he left.

"The baby was born prematurely and didn't survive. Are you satisfied now? How can your heart be so cold? My father is gone, my child is gone. Do I need to die too for you to stop your vengeance?"

Leon clenched Sara's shoulders as the words "My child is also dead" tormented his heart. Could it be true? Leon asked again, his voice strained.

"You're lying; how could that be? Are you saying this deliberately because I caused the Roberts family's downfall? I had nothing to do with your father's death. Sara, where is my child?"

Outside, the rain poured heavily, its sound blending with a melancholy wail. Sara lay on a hospital bed, but Leon, using all his strength, pulled her up to sit. He was like a starved tiger pouncing, his growls chilling. Sara, utterly weak, could not resist. Her eyes were wide open, and she stared at Leon in despair. The man she deeply loved had caused her to lose everything, and even now, as she was ill, he showed no mercy. Leon slammed his hand against the glass door; shards cut into his hand, creating long gashes, blood covering his palm, but Leon felt no pain. The physical agony was insignificant compared to the emotional pain he was enduring.

"Leon, even if the baby had survived, I wouldn't have kept it because I no longer want any ties with you."

Leon laughed bitterly in pain, realizing Sara had no affection for the child. Her heartlessness was due to her feelings for him having dried up. After everything, Leon understood how cruel a woman could be when she chose to walk away. Leon recalled everything that had happened between them, his heart aching. He muttered to himself; the child Jee was holding would be about the age of Sara's child if it had survived. Unable to stay calm, Leon drove alone to see Jee. No matter what, he had to know real.

Jee was reading news about herself on her laptop when the doorbell rang. She hesitated, aware that in recent days, the number of people who despised her had increased dramatically. She feared they might harm her.

She peered through the peephole and cautiously opened the door after ensuring it was safe. As soon as he saw her, Leon pushed her inside, pinning her arms above her head, and kissed her deeply on the lips he had longed for night and day. His solid frame pressed against her, turning Jee into a small rabbit caught by a wolf. She resisted, but her efforts were futile.

Leon tightened his grip on her slender shoulders and waist, and amidst the frenzy, she could hear his heavy breathing and rapid heartbeat. She bit his lip hard enough to draw blood. Feeling the pain mixed with the sweetness of blood, Leon slowly let go. Seizing the moment, she shoved him away and yelled.

"Get out! Just get out!"

Leon stepped forward, looking at her directly and demanding answers.

"Who are you really, Jee or Sara? Your body responds to me: why won't you admit it? What about the child?"

"What are you raging about? We have no relationship, and whether or not it's my child, what does it have to do with you?"

Leon searched the house but couldn't find the baby, growing suspicious.

"Where is the baby? Where have you hidden it? I need to take it for a DNA test."

"You're crazy, there's no baby here!"

Jee forcefully pushed Leon out the door. Outside, reporters and the media had been waiting; they quickly surrounded him, trapping him with no escape. "Did she deceive you?"

"Were you angry because she was unfaithful, which led to a fight between you?"

Leon did not evade the questions; instead, he answered calmly.

"Our private matters are none of your concern. From now on, do not bother her anymore. If anyone disobeys, I will permanently shut their company down."

The crowd of journalists and reporters gradually dispersed, making way for Leon. Inside the door, Jee was in agony, unsure how many more people would end up hurt by this situation.

As was her routine every morning after waking up, Phong Trà would browse through news websites to see if there were any articles about her. Sure enough, an article garnered millions of views today, with hundreds of thousands of comments below.

The article featured a photo of Jessica and Mark holding Lina, smiling happily like a family. It clarified that Lina was the daughter of Jessica and Mark, who was being treated at the hospital. Jee was a member of a charity organization at the hospital. Because she was busy filming during the day, she could only visit the children in the evening, which led to the misunderstanding that Lina was her daughter.

Her company published this article to clarify the recent scandal. It included statements from Jessica, who admitted that Lina was her child and apologized to Jee and the public.

Jee lay sprawled on her large bed, which felt anything but comfortable. She knew Jessica had acted out of a desire to protect her, but Jessica was unaware that she had inadvertently brought about even greater trouble.
