Chapter 2144 The News is Out
Everyone seemed pretty solemn after hearing the news. Ian took some time out of his day to give Sean a call, and
he got straight to his point by asking if Sean knew anything about Leah's situation. Sean had just heard the news at
that point. "Yeah. The news hasn't been released, though. How did you hear about it?" Sean paused for a moment
before he realized how Ian might have found out. "Was it Logan?"
"Yeah," Ian replied before telling Sean about what he heard from Logan. Sean received a similar version of the
news, but he told Ian about his thoughts. "I heard that Simon came back just a while ago. I'm not sure when his
exact return date was, but I wonder if he's related to this." Sean hadn't given much thought to Leah, especially
after what Logan did to her. She had been bedridden in the hospital for a while, and her face had been ruined. Sean

therefore, shocked when he heard about the news of her death.
When Sean got his men to investigate Leah's situation, he received the news of Simon's return. However, nothing
was certain just yet, so Sean figured that he would wait for the police to announce their findings. Ian was rather
worried for Sean. "Will you get in trouble? Things seemed to have ended badly for her, and you had a fight with her
previously."
Sean sighed. "It's fine. I didn't do anything, anyway, so I'm not worried. If the police drop by to interrogate me, I'll
just tell them the truth. I didn't do anything, so they won't be able to put the blame on me." Even though what Sean
said was true, it was also likely that his business would be affected once the news was out.
While Ian was worried about Sean, Sean felt more worried about Ian. "I'm fine since the public doesn't follow my life
as much. We all know each other in the business industry, and the news doesn't affect us since we can do a simple
cost-benefit analysis to figure what's the best way forward for everyone. But you're an artist—I'm afraid you might
be the one who's more affected by the news. You should talk to your company about it. Perhaps it would be best to
prepare some legal documents before anything happens."
Ian licked his lips thoughtfully. "I don't think I'll be affected that badly. I'm not in the same city as her, anyway. I don't
think my career will be impacted since I won't be a suspect." Sean let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Ian's words.
"Well, that's good then. We shouldn't be too bothered by the news if it doesn't affect us. Now that this is over, I
guess we can close this chapter of our lives."
Ian pressed his lips and kept quiet for a while before grunting in agreement. Once all of this is over, Leah will be
completely out of our lives. She won't be able to cause trouble for us anymore. But… Maybe it's not right to think
that way. This is a person's life we're talking about, after all.
Sean had other matters to handle, so he told Ian that he would update him if he received any news, and they got

Valerie wasn't around that day—someone told Ian that she had taken a day off. Ian wasn't too bothered by this. He
simply focused on shooting his scenes. He was nearly done with his shots when the driver walked over with a
phone. "Look, look. The news is out," the driver whispered to Ian.
Leah had been the only thought occupying Ian's mind that day, so Ian naturally assumed that the driver was
referring to Leah's news. He immediately took the phone over. However, the news article wasn't about Leah at all—
instead, it was about Valerie. Apparently, Valerie had updated her status to admit her relationship with one of the
rookie male celebrities. She claimed that they would work on their relationship and asked the public to give them
space even if they didn't support her relationship with him. The public wasn't too shocked by the news of their
relationship—after all, there had already been speculations spreading around prior to her announcement.
