NovelUpdateChapter 730: "I don't think Luna is as guilty as they're making her out to be." "Exactly. She was just an assistant. What reason would she have to harm someone unless she was ordered to? You expectto believe she threw her whole future away over a personal grudge?" "Remember why Leah left the entertainment industry? Wasn't it because she pushed Miss Holland into oncoming traffic? She played it off as a joke, but anyone with common sense knows how reckless that was. And now, this incident? It's almost identical." "Leah and Miss Holland have had bad blood for a long time, so maybe she had Luna do her dirty work for her. Now that would make a lot more sense." The murmurs from the press weren't lost on Leah.

Leah's face turned ghostly pale, her impeccable makeup doing little to mask the furyand shock twisting her features.
If it weren't for the media, she'd have slapped her idiot assistant senseless! ΟΠΙ It was one thing to speak carelessly in private, but to say it out loud, in front of reporters? How could someone be that brainless?
