Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)

Chapter 2285

"Both actresses are so talented, how could they be blind enough to fall for him?" "That's not fair. Leighton is quite handsome. It's just shocking he's this kind of person."

"Aren't they all in the same production? Didn't Stella know Leighton and Nicole were dating? This makes her the third wheel, right?"

"Oh no! I really liked her, especially after the Sunlight Kindergarten incident. Her performance as the queen in "The Palace' was outstanding. How could she become the other woman? Is there any celebrity left who isn't a disappointment?"

"Two gorgeous people; Leighton is living the dream. What did he do to deserve this?"

"Leighton only got close to Nicole for her resources. He's trying to break his contract with his agency, which has abandoned him. Without Nicole, how could he land roles with big directors? He's really just living off her."

The comments only got worse, with most of them being outright insults.

When Leighton and Nicole made their relationship public, fans on both sides were unhappy. Each side thought the other was beneath them, and the bickering had been ongoing since the announcement.

Their couple hashtag #Leighton Nicole# became a battleground for venting, filled with unspeakable things.

After going public, Leighton's relationship with his agency soured as he sought to terminate his contract. The agency didn't want him leaving with such a large following, so they spread numerous unfounded rumors about him. Without concrete evidence, the rumors eventually died down.

Leighton's popularity had dipped after the relationship drama but was slowly recovering. However, the newcomers the agency tried to promote couldn't capture his fanbase, which frustrated the agency.

When news of Leighton's "affair" broke, the media asked his immediate superior, Ezra Powell, who hinted, "We're not sure, but Leighton is very popular with the ladies. He has a good relationship with his female colleagues at the company. He's attractive, and female executives liked drinking with him at company dinners."

This interview pushed Leighton further into the spotlight, suggesting inappropriate relationships with female colleagues and even with female executives.

Soon, an account claiming to be Leighton's backup dancer, alleging inappropriate behavior and attempts to lure her to a hotel under false pretenses, followed by threats when she refused, surfaced. Other accounts followed with similar stories.

Despite the lack of concrete evidence beyond some Whatsapp screenshots, Leighton faced widespread condemnation. Netizens frequently tagged the Rivera Police, demanding action against him.

Typically, in celebrity affair scandals, the third party gets the most backlash. However, in this case, the focus was almost entirely on Leighton himself.

Joe remarked, "My cousin has terrible taste in men. Even though it's not him in the photos, that guy just seems unreliable. Stella you should stay away from him."

Stella pursed her lips. "He's my cousin."

"Cousin or not, you should-what!?" Joe squawked, "That white-haired guy is your cousin?!"

Having first discovered that his idol was actually his online brother's wife, and now learning that his cousin's boyfriend was his idol's cousin, Joe was overwhelmed and took a while to process it all.

Keegan ended the call with Joe and Felicity, then said to Stella, "Call Leighton and find out what's going on."

Stella nodded, frowning as she dialed Leighton's number.

Estelle, his agent, answered, explaining that Leighton was drunk at a gathering and couldn't speak. Estelle mentioned seeing the online news and, knowing Stella was Leighton's cousin, hesitated to make any decisions without Leighton. Estelle then tentatively asked if Stella could help clear things up, acknowledging that the Saun family had kept her background well-protected and private.

Stella replied, "Clearing things up is easy. But has Leighton offended someone?"
