Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 2312

Chapter 2312

Leighton posted two Facebook updates, directly shattering the fans' faith.

He openly rejected the CP (Couple Pairing) on the entire internet, he faced a barrage of disappointed fans calling him a scumbag, while his solo fans fought back fiercely, causing a huge online clash.

At this moment, the new actor did something bold-he deleted the Facebook post where he showed off a scarf and posted a new one: "If I stand high enough, does that mean I have the right to stand beside you?"

Posting such an ambiguous Facebook at this time led netizens to naturally interpret it as Leighton being afraid to admit his love, fearing it would affect his career, so he dumped the other person and even used his fame to attack him.

Half of the CP fans unfollowed, while the other half became solo fans of the new actor, furiously insulting Leighton online. Leighton's solo fans didn't take it lying down; they dug up and posted the actor's history of bullying classmates before his debut. However, because the victims feared it would affect their lives, many photos couldn't be posted, so the actor kept denying it.

Taking advantage of the heated discussions involving Leighton, the actor's popularity soared, landing him numerous variety show appearances and movie deals. His agency considered him a rising superstar and wanted to use this momentum to grab resources from Estelle.

The most infuriating part was that this bully even shot a public service advertisement against school bullying.

Just when everything seemed to be going well, a video from a film set leaked. The video showed the follow-up to when he "unintentionally" shared a coffee cup with Leighton on the same set.

After finishing his makeup, he took a wet wipe from his assistant and wiped his mouth with a frown, asking the assistant, "Did you get the shot? Don't make me drink from that again, it's disgusting."

The video was so clear that even their conversation was audible, completely shattering the CP fans' illusions.

All the supposed romantic glances and scumbag accusations were exposed as premeditated publicity stunts. And the other party refused to cooperate with the scheme, instead trying to smear Leighton in return.

Once the truth came out, the actor was bombarded with so much criticism that he had to close his Facebook comments.

Then, the bullying victim from back then opened an account and detailed their horrific experiences with this "new superstar," describing the cruel and vicious bullying that left him unable to hold a pen with his right hand, which was a big deal since he was an artist.

More victims and witnesses came forward to speak out.

Coincidentally, just as this bullying incident topped the trending searches, a teen murder case caused by school bullying emerged. Since the perpetrators were minors, their identities were not disclosed, but public outrage was intense and unrelenting

The new actor with a history of bullying became the outlet for this anger, and the whole internet called for a ban on entertainers with bullying backgrounds.

Ultimately, the actor's account was suspended, and all his works were removed from the internet, ending his career.

When mentioning this incident, Leighton had no interest in mentoring newcomers.

It wasn't that he hated newcomers, but he was disgusted by the company's tactics.

Having suffered once, he was naturally unwilling to cooperate. If he paid the penalty for breach of contract, the company wouldn' let him off easily, which was why they demanded an exorbitant 230 million.

If he went to court, it would be a

never-ending hassle, If he paused his isle! work, his contract still had nearly a year left.

A year without exposure would essentially limit his reach, as the entertainment industry changes rapidly. Not appearing for a year could leave him irrelevant by the time he returned.

Most importantly, how would he endure this year?

Nicole asked again, "Which option do you want to choose?"

Leighton didn't answer but asked her, "If it were you, what would you choose?"

Nicole smiled, "I would choose to

mentor newcomers. I wouldn't turn

my

down money, and no one cares about scandals. But you're different. Without solid footing in the industry, your scandals are what keep the paparazzi fed. Any bit of dirt can destroy you."

Leighton was stunned, "So you want me to take a year off?"

"Don't you want to?"

Leighton didn't respond.
