Billionaire And His Son Betrayed Me: Brothers Back Me Up novel Chapter 174

Leon said to Xylia. “The Garcia family has made many enemies, and now Joshua is being targeted both openly and covertly by various factions. He is a very dangerous man.”

While all the members of the Garcia family were called away by the two older brothers, Leon patiently tried to persuade her.

“Actually, I know you just escaped from a marriage and don’t have time to think about dating right now, so don’t waste another thought on Joshua.”

Xylia looked at Leon in silence.

Her eyes remained unperturbed, and it was impossible to tell whether Leon’s words had reached her.

Leon waited for Xylia’s response, but instead of responding directly, she suddenly asked, “How are things between you and Mia?”

Since the dating show began airing, Leon had tried to get close to Mia both openly and subtly within the

program.

Fans who once accused Mia of throwing herself at him had gone quiet after realizing it was Leon doing the chasing. Many who had mocked her were forced to eat their words.

At first, fans thought it was all hype. ‘How could Leon possibly be interested in someone like Mia?”

As a result, during the game, Leon was the team’s weak link, while Mia demonstrated intelligence and skill, winning over the audience.

While fans were bashing Mia, they even admitted, though grudgingly, that the two were well–matched.

This made many people feel that there was something wrong with their mental health.

Didn’t know what he was thinking, Leon’s cheeks flushed.

“It’s just… okay.”

“What does that mean?”

At the mention of Mia, Leon’s thoughts leapt.

He forgot about persuading Xylia and responded to her remarks, following her lead in the conversation.

“Recently, Mia hasn’t been avoiding me as much. That’s progress. I’m sure with persistence, I’ll win her heart!”

When Leon spoke of Mia, his eyes blossomed with love.

It seemed as if he was already in a romantic relationship with Mia.

Xylia didn’t tease Leon in her usual gossipy way.

Chapter 174

She discouraged Leon for the first time.

“To be honest, Leon, you don’t deserve Mia”

Leon was immediately displeased and looked at Xylia with furrowed brows.

“You can’t turn around and criticize me just because I criticized the matter between you and Joshua.”

Nylia shook her head. “I am telling the truth.”

“Why?” His temper rose.

Xylia said, “Don’t be angry. In my opinion, Mia is both attractive and intelligent. Her career may not be at its peak now, but one day she’ll be an A–list star or even more.”

Leon was not angered by these words; instead, he sat leaning against the edge of the hospital bed and spoke with some pride..

“You are correct; Mia does indeed possess this capability.”

She was beautiful and a talented actress. Although she was subjected to harsh criticism at the beginning of this reality dating show, verbal abuse gradually faded thanks to his utmost cooperation.

Although the fans were crazy, he knew that most of his fans were rational.

If they saw someone like Mia, who was both intelligent and highly competent professionally, they wouldn’t keep targeting her.

The recent shift in online public opinion regarding Mia over the past few days serves as evidence of this point.

Xylia continued, “But, Leon, just look at yourself. You are the young master of the Sadler family and a Best Actor; your status alone makes you the ideal partner for countless women. If Mia knew this, she would certainly avoid you as much as possible for the sake of her career.

“Besides, your performance on the dating show wasn’t particularly good. You came across as a bit clueless. Mia is a wise person, so she might not necessarily be into someone like you.

“Not long ago, you were involved in rumors with another celebrity. Before this, your image was always clean, without any scandals. Mia probably thinks you have someone you like, but since you also went on a dating show, maybe she thinks you’re fickle.”

With each sentence Xylia spoke, Leon’s expression grew a shade dimmer.

When the recent rumors were mentioned, Leon became visibly anxious.

“I spread that rumor just to…

To suppress the trending search about Xylia’s hit–and–run incident at that time.

Yet, when confronted with Xylia’s puzzled gaze, Leon remained silent.

“Better not to add pressure on her, he thought.

“What?” Xylia inquired.

Leon decided to shift the blame to his agent..

“To do Stella a favor!”

“However, as far as I know, that celebrity is an up–and–coming young actress, while you are a Best Actor. Why would Stella ask you to mentor someone so unknown?”

Leon said, “That girl is from our company.”

Xylia understood,

A common trick in the entertainment industry–using prominent figures to boost lesser–known ones.

Leon looked at Xylia. “You’re not just mocking me, are you? Do you want me to give up on Mia?”

Xylia nodded honestly. “Yes.”

“Absolutely not!” Leon refused without a moment’s hesitation.

Xylia continued, “What if Kaden says the same?”

Kaden was the head of the Sadler family. The three younger brothers rarely dared to defy his words.

“No way! Why should anyone else decide whether I go after the person I like? If I want to chase her, I willl”

Xylia leaned against the headboard, looking at Leon in silence.

After a long while, Leon finally waved his hand,

“Never mind. I won’t get involved in the matter between you and Joshua anymore. Just pretend I didn’t say anything carlier.”

Leon wasn’t foolish. He knew that Xylia wanted him to know her feelings were hers alone, not something for others to interfere with.
