The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 You’re On Your

Own

In an instant, a blurry image flashed through Leah’s mind.

Could it be him? Her instincts screamed that the man in the car was far

from ordinary.

She had severely underestimated Corrine, never expecting her to find a new protector so quickly.

“Find out who owns the Rolls–Royce that was parked outside Lonsong Restaurant last night!” Leah’s voice was tightly controlled, her anger simmering just beneath the surface. “And get those people out of the police station, now!”

“But the police said they have criminal records. Until the investigation. clears, they’re not allowed to contact anyone or be bailed out,” her

assistant said hesitantly.

Leah’s eyes darkened with growing frustration.

Before she could respond, the door slammed open, and her agent, Spencer Ruiz, stormed in, his face a mask of fury. He threw a contract onto the table, “Look at what you’ve done!” The words rang in the air like a slap. “The endorsement deal you just signed wants out, and they’re demanding a penalty! Plus, several film projects just rejected your auditions!”

“What?” Leah’s face drained of color, her legs wobbling as if the floor had suddenly disappeared beneath her.

Spencer shoved a tablet in front of her, a cruel smile playing on his lips. “Take a good look at this.”

Chepa 64 Youre On Your Own

On the screen, Waldo, the top lawyer in Lyhaton, had just posted an update. “On behalf of Miss Corrine Holland, I have sent a legal notice to Miss Leah Burgess. Please review immediately.”

The words “attempted murder” and “Intentional injury” in the legal notice. jumped out at her, striking Leah with cold terror.

She felt her hand tighten around the tablet, her knuckles blanching. Her eyes burned with a mix of fury and disbelief. “It was just a harmless prank -how can they accuse me of attempted murder?”

Spencer scoffed, his voice dripping with disdain. “Because the people at the police station have confessed everything. The company wants you to hold a press conference right away to clear this up, and you’ll be sidelined until it blows over.”

The reality of being sidelined hit Leah with the force of a punch. No one knew better than her what that meant.

She had finally broken free from her former employer with Bruce’s help, returning to rebuild her career on her own terms. Her new agency had even mapped out her future, but now, a legal notice had thrown everything into chaos, and she was being forced to step back.

She refused to let it end like this!

“There has to be some room to work this out,” Leah insisted, her voice firm, though the tension in her chest tightened with every word.

She hadn’t fought so hard to make a comeback only to be shut down now.

What would she have left if she were sidelined?
