Chapter 2287 Stella replied with a quick "yeah," then just before ending the call, she couldn't help but ask, "Hey, how did your chat with Ms. Cadman go?" Trevor hesitated for a moment, narrowing his eyes, "Is Keegan there with you?" Stella paused, glancing over at Keegan who was listening intently beside her, then cleared her throat lightly, "Nah, he's in the shower." Trevor, seeming unfazed, remarked, "Well, if he keeps running his mouth like that, tell him I might have to sew it shut for him next time." Keegan was speechless.
Stella chuckled awkwardly, "He didn't have much to say, really..." Trevor didn't add anything more, simply advising her to get srest before hanging up.

The girl accusing Leighton of harassment on Facebook went by the handle " Little Sweet Potato." Everytshe posted, she'd announce when her next post was coming, hinting at more evidence.
The anticipation kept growing, but each time, all she released were vague rumors that didn't prove Leighton harassed any female artists. Yet, the buzz remained high.
Over the course of one night, Leighton lost tens of thousands of fans. It wasn't until the next morning that Leighton's stusent out a legal letter, announcing they were taking action against the rumor spreaders. Shortly after the legal letter, @Little Sweet Potato announced a noon livestream, promising to confront Leighton online with solid evidence.
Fans were eager, hoping to see these wealthy yet morally questionable celebrities taken down. The reservations for the livestream quickly exceeded a million.
At noon the next day, @Little Sweet Potato started her livestream right on time. She was a pretty girl, crying on camera as she recounted in detail how Leighton harassed and threatened her. The topics putting Leighton in a bad light dominated the hot search list. The girl on the livestream challenged Leighton to join the video call, daring him to face her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn this scenario, whether Leighton responded or not, it was damaging.
If he stayed silent, it would imply guilt, but if he responded, it might trap him further. Gifts poured in, and comments flooded the livestream.
"If he's hiding, it seems the affair is fake, but the harassment is real!" "He's so good-looking, even if he harassed me, I'd feel like he's doing charity."
"What kind of backward thinking is that? Just because you'd tolerate harassment from a handsguy doesn't mean others would." "To be honest, nothing surprisesin this industry. It fits the stereotype perfectly." "Looks like 'Prison storm' needs another lead actor. They already have a vocal." "I'm curious, if there's evidence, why not go to the police instead of livestreaming?"
"I've been meaning to say, if he's breaking the law, why not involve the authorities? Livestreaming and accepting tips, it feels like a money-making scheme..." "Don't idolize men too much, what girl would joke about her innocence?"
Just when everyone thought Leighton was about to fall, Nicole v.e requested to join the stream. X
