The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2208 Leave It Be

Kai knew that the only person who could change Grant's mind was Floyd.

Thus, Kai's only choice was to beg for Floyd's approval without a care for his image. Floyd rolled his eyes speechlessly and could not push Kai away even if he wanted to.

Kai was like a bubblegum stuck to his leg.

Aida was the first one who could not help but laugh out loud.

Then, Mr. Anderson and Nicole laughed.

Grant could not help but curl his lips as he looked at Kai mockingly.

"Dad, I think Lil K's problem still hasn't been corrected after almost 30 years."

Floyd nodded in agreement.

"Yes, it's a good thing Julie accepted him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to replace a wife."

Kai felt aggrieved and was about to fake cry.

Finally, Nicole smiled and let him go.

"Forget it. Kai will just cause more trouble if he goes. How can you expect him to protect me?"

Everyone could not help but laugh.

The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable.

Kai glanced at Nicole with annoyance.

Although he wanted to defend himself, he did not want to fall into her reverse psychology. He would not be fooled!

Grant said lightly, "Then get Logan to go along. It's best if Roland can go too. As far as I know, Clayton has a lot of businesses there. Perhaps you can use some of his network and resources." Although Grant did not want to mention Clayton in front of Nicole, this matter was inevitable after all.

No one could pretend that Clayton was never in their lives.

Everyone was silent for a few seconds and looked at Nicole in unison.

Nicole nodded lightly. "Okay, I'll contact Roland."

Everyone saw that Nicole looked normal, so they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Grant took a few careful glances at his sister before turning his gaze away.

Although this project was not a must-have, he wanted to keep Nicole busy.

This project would keep her busy and allow her to travel.

Thus, Grant gave this opportunity to her and forced her to accept it.

He hoped she could let go of the past and live a good life from now on.

There was still half a month left before she was scheduled to go abroad.

Nicole needed to sort out all the things at hand during this time and hand them over to her respective subordinates. She also had to prepare materials for the project abroad.

Grant was very considerate and took over some work on his own initiative.

However, after a few days, Kai caused a lot of trouble.

An influencer broke the news that Kai was seen going in and out of a hotel where a few actresses were filming at.

The post claimed that Kai had illicit relationships with the actresses and would bring different actresses to the hotel every day.

It was self-evident what the influencer hinted at.

There were even photos of him attached.

Kai was handsome and captivating in the photos, but it was unclear what the woman he embraced beside him looked like.

The woman's outfit was very fashionable, and her figure was great.

Thus, everyone assumed that the woman was an actress in the crew.

All of a sudden, this gossip spread all over the internet.

Kai did not expect this. He was not filming and only slept in the same hotel as the crew. He even stayed there at his own expense.

As a result, when he woke up, the paparazzi were waiting for him in the lobby.

His image was ruined.

Besides that, everyone started to talk about the fact that Kai did not donate to the recent earthquake.

Many celebrities exposed their donation details online, but Kai remained silent.

Thus, everyone was dissatisfied with Kai's superior attitude.

Coupled with the fact that his image was ruined, everyone tried every means to dig out dirt on Kai.

When Kai saw the news on the internet, he was furious and called Dominic Young.

Dominic only picked up the call after a while in apprehension.

"Yes, Boss?"

"Hmph! Am I your boss?! You're the boss, huh? Which b*stard wanted to ride on my popularity?! The paparazzi are in the lobby waiting for me. What should I do? You'd better hurry up and replace a way to get rid of them!"

Dominic clicked his tongue.

"Boss, I've tried contacting the person who exposed you, but I couldn't. He just wanted to whet the netizen's appetite. Your rival is probably also buying your dirt, so I'm still observing the situation!" Kai talked to him like he was a fool.

"Observe the situation? What dirt do I have? I'm squeaky clean, okay? Apart from being given countless resources, what else do they want to expose about me? I'm a trust fund kid anyway!" Dominic paused.

He could hear Kai's anxiety and rage in his words, and he chuckled.

"Don't worry. Those photos are real, not photoshopped, so how do you explain that? You haven't filmed for a while, and you don't have anything lined up, yet you stay where the crew stays every day. You even visit different crews. Who are those women that you were with? Are they the female lead or the supporting character? You can just tell me if you want to make them popular, and I'll arrange it for you. Why are you doing something so risky?"

Kai's face turned pale and livid.

He just wanted to go over there and slap Dominic.

"You idiot! That's my wife! What women are you talking about? Are you blind? Isn't that my wife?!"

Kai clenched his fists tightly and covered his chest.

"Stop annoying me and settle this matter immediately!"

Dominic pursed his lips. "It's not true? Oh, that's good! I knew you were an upright gentleman and that you wouldn't do such filthy things! But it's a bit forced if the company clarifies this. It's best if your wife comes out to clarify things..."

Kai's face was glum.

No one else but Kai knew that Julie did not want to be exposed in front of the camera because of what happened with her ex-boyfriend, who was a model.

Thus, she only worked behind the scenes.

If Julie came forward, the netizens would surely dig out her past - the good and the bad.

At that time, it was self-evident who would get hurt even more.

Kai did not want Julie to be the subject of gossip again. She wanted to hide forever, so he would just let her be.

There was silence on the phone for a few minutes.

Dominic was not sure what he should do, so he said, "Kai, you know that the netizens now aren't easy to fool. Any clarification or lawyer's letter is useless unless there's direct evidence. Why don't you contact your wife? Or..."

Kai scratched his hair irritably and said, "Nevermind. Don't worry about it."

After that, he hung up the phone.

He looked out of the window silently and saw the sneaky reporters still squatting downstairs.

They were nosy and tried to pry on any gossip.

Kai closed his eyes.

For the first time, he regretted being in showbiz.

The netizens could criticize him and spread gossip all they want.

Anyway, this would die down sooner or later.

Everything was fine as long as Julie was not involved.

What did he not experience before?

Thus, Kai did not clarify the gossip, and the situation worsened.

The other party was just testing Kai's bottom line at first.

In the end, the influencer thought that Kai's silence was an admission of guilt, so it was time to torment Kai.
