"I don't think you understand how many days I ran around trying to find him at his house, even visited the company multiple times, but he refused to see me. I'm really struggling." Freya was about to give her phone number when a big hand reached out and took her phone directly.

"You don't need to worry about Leo's matters, I will handle it!" With these words, the man cut off the phone, threw it on the bedside, and grabbed Freya's shoulder.

"Tell me, why did you meet Leo? Do you intend to enter the entertainment circle with a big belly?" Freya shrank her neck and whispered, "I dare not."

"What are you afraid of? If you don't give me an explanation, you'll see how I deal with you."

"I just asked him to come out and talk about the custody issue of Clara, it has nothing to do with work." Since she decided to leave the industry, she did not intend to get involved in this line of work.

Clara is currently staying in the orphanage. It is said that she has a reclusive personality and always hides away crying alone. If this continues, she might develop autism. Originally, this is not Freya's concern, after all, Jasmine's Yara. But she cannot stand parents like that, who abandon their own biological child outside and go off to enjoy themselves. Clara's experience reminds Freya of her past, like a stray dog abondoned in a corner, only to endure bullying! Therefore, she will help Clara find her way back home! Bradley saw the tears in the young woman's eyes and knew she was recalling her past experiences, so he tenderly pulled her into his arms. "Since this is for Clara, it would be better for me to handle it. Leo has a big ego, and most people cannot see him, but for me...he doesn't have the guts to not see me!" The man's words were filled with a dominating air, leaving Freya mesmerized. She pursed her lips and said, "No, I want to handle this with you." Conversations between men have always been forceful.

Even if Bradley can persuade Leo to take back Clara, she worries that Leo will not treat this Yara well. After all, Leo has his own family, how could he let this child disrupt his household. It could even tarnish his reputation. So even if the child is taken back, Leo's solution would be to hand her over to someone else for care! This is no different from the foster care Clara had in the Ma family before!

"Okay, I'll contact Leo and take you to see him!"

...

In a private villa.

Inside the bedroom.

After the fierce storm has subsided.

Jasmine leaned in Leo's arms, her tying soft and coy as if about to squeeze out water. "Leo, 'Sleeve Flick' is about to start filming soon. As the second female lead, I definitely don't have as much confidence as the first female lead. If we have scenes together on set, you have to make the first female lead yield to me a bit."

Leo leaned against the head of the bed, smoking heavily. The smoke lingered in the air for a long time. He became somewhat impatient, "Since we are filming, how can there be any interest without a fierce acting performance in our scenes together? If you can't act, I can have someone replace you at any time."

Having Jasmine play the second female lead was originally a last resort. If it weren't for this woman using the videos to blackmail him, he would never have helped such an inferior actress rise to stardom in the first place.

Jasmine, seeing his bad attitude, clenched her fists in anger. He had just promised to help her, but now he was pretending not to know her.

She had known about this man's character for years. But she had to swallow her pride and take his help. After all, she was well aware that if those videos were leaked, not only Leo but also herself would be in trouble.

She is now like a tied cricket with Leo, once they have a falling out, it will be a situation where both parties will suffer. Therefore, she still needs to please this man!

"But there are too many scenes in this play, not only the ear-pulling scenes, but also some violent scenes, too cruel." After saying this, she wrapped herself around Leo, sat directly on him, and said, "Leo, just pretend when the time comes, if we really fight, my face may not be able to withstand it."

After being beaten by Freya in the cemetery, she spent a lot of money on plastic surgery. The doctor has given her the final warning that if she continues to go under the knife, the risks are high and she may be disfigured.

Therefore, she must protect this face well and cannot make any mistakes again!

"Jasmine, I have already given you a chance. If you can't act, don't act. If you need help acting now, who can't see it?"

Leo extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray on the bedside table and pushed Jasmine off the bed.

This time, Jasmine was provoked and once again resorted to her old tricks, "Leo, if you don't agree to me, I will immediately send the video to your wife."

Upon hearing this, Leo's eyes showed a hint of hostility.

The reason why I slept with Jasmine was to hold her inappropriate video in my hand. Otherwise, how could he possibly mix with her again. Now she dares to mention the video, which instantly angers him. "If you have the ability, you can send it, but Jasmine, I tell you, if you don't let me off, I will ruin your reputation as well." After speaking, he was about to leave angrily. Jasmine clenched her fist tightly, although she hated it in her heart, she was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity, and finally took the initiative to get close. "Leo, don't be angry, I just spoke out of haste, I'll act in whatever way you want in this drama." Leo suppressed his disgust and coldly said, "Then act well, don't ruin the whole play." He had already planned Everyone, and when the female lead needed to add a scene, he would give Jasmine a hard time when filming the scenes with his opponent. He had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, played with many women, but never had an accident.

She naturally knew Leo's thoughts, wanting to take this opportunity to fix herself.

But did Leo really think she would be so foolish, not leaving a backup plan?

She had long discovered the surveillance installed in the bedroom, and purposely avoided Leo when they were together.

Even if the surveillance captured her, it would only show her back.

Who will end up in a bad situation by then, it's still uncertain!

...

With Bradley stepping in, Leo immediately agreed to meet.

The meeting was set for the next day at noon, at the second-floor coffee shop in Plaza.

When Bradley arrived with Freya, Leo had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the two enter, he hurriedly got up and greeted them, "General Austin…".

After speaking, his gaze fell on Freya, respectfully nodding his head, "Madam Austin..."

Since Reita had never appeared in front of outsiders, Leo did not recognize Freya's identity, only thinking that she was Bradley's wife.
