Chapter 474
“What about you, Mr. Cavanaugh?” the director asked Leopold.
Zola’s gaze had already shifted away from Joel.
She was actually a bit curious about when Leopold lost his first time.
At eighteen? Twenty-three? Or even earlier?
Perhaps Leopold didn’t even remember anymore.
The next moment, everyone heard Leopold’s calm voice replying, “On the same day as her.”
After Leopold spoke, not only Zola, but the entire directing team and crew were astonished.
Three or four years ago, Zola was twenty-five. While it was unlikely in the entertainment industry, Zola indeed had no rumors back then. It could barely be believed that she maintained her virginity. But Leopold was already thirty at that time!
However, since Leopold said it in front of so many people, this segment would definitely be aired. Since Leopold dared to say it, he couldn’t be lying.
“No way, just to wait for her, I could only endure, Leopold seemed to see through everyone’s surprise and explained lightly.
“So, Mr. Cavanaugh, you liked Zola a long time ago? Did you have your eyes on her as soon as she entered the entertainment industry?” the director asked.
“Your speculation could actually be bolder,” Leopold said with a smile. “It could have been even earlier.”
“It
means….
“Director, you just said it was the last question. Any additional question will cost extra,” Leopold interrupted.
The director sighed in frustration, realizing he had been outsmarted.
“Finished. Can we go ahead and enjoy lunch?” Leopold asked.
“Sure,” the director replied.
Leopold and Zola left together, heading to a beautiful restaurant to indulge in top-notch cuisine.
“Aren’t you afraid of being criticized?” Zola suddenly spoke up as Leopold peeled shrimp for her.
“Hmm?” Leopold was stunned for a moment.
“You said you lost it on the same day as me.” Zola brought it up, feeling a bit awkward. “The show will definitely air tha segment to boost ratings. Aren’t you afraid someone will accuse you of lying? Nowadays, in the entertainment industry anything is possible for the sake of publicity. You can’t cover the sky with just your hand
She was worried that Leopold’s revelation might negatively affect her career.
Now, the two of them were seemingly intertwined.
“I’m not afraid.” Leopold assured, placing the shrimp he’d peeled onto Zola’s plate.
“You’re that confident?” Zola wasn’t as optimistic.
Many people in the entertainment industry had no moral boundaries.
Besides, it wasn’t like they were lying. They could even gain more exposure from this,

“Because I really was there that day,” Leopold responded.
Zola paused mid-chew, looking at him.
“You should eat first. Don’t choke,” Leopold said, meeting her gaze.
Zola snapped out of it and resumed chewing.
100%
Still, she couldn’t believe it. After swallowing, she asked again. “With so many women around you, from what I know, you were with that model at the Hayden’s residence, and there was also Salma. Your relationship with them was publicly
Π
announced. Speaking of Salma, she’s now stuck filming some low-tier TV series, unable to climb up from the bottom ranks. This could be a perfect opportunity for her to gain exposure!”
“No.” Leopold replied, his tone still calm.
Zola stared at him, feeling puzzled.
She couldn’t quite understand Leopold anymore.
Why would Leopold…..
No matter how she thought about it, it
didn’t make sense.
He was quite capable, after all. She had experienced it herself.
Since he was capable, why would he only be with her during all these years…
He couldn’t possibly have feelings for her, at least not in the past
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept his distance so deliberately.
“Do you want to know?” Leopold asked her, seemingly noticing her confusion.
“I don’t want to.” Zola declined.
Leopold pressed his lips together.
“Your past has nothing to do with me,” Zola stated coldly.
“Alright.” Leopold nodded.
The hurt he once caused Zola couldn’t be erased, nor was it worth her forgiveness.
He said, “Then, in the future, please give me a chance.”
Zola truly felt like Leopold had changed, becoming someone she no longer recognized.
Was it Jasmine’s influence?
in Kenville, Kylie and Adam were getting impatient.
That person still hadn’t made a move.
“Maybe hospitals aren’t convenient places for him to commit the crime? There are surveillance cameras in the intensive care unit, so he can’t act. Adam began to doubt.
Kylie nodded, suddenly realizing. “We overlooked that.”
“What do we do now?” Adam asked. “If Grandpa is discovered to be pretending to be awake, that person will definitely know

we’re setting a trap. It’ll be impossible to lure him out next time
“We have to create an opportunity for him.” Kylie decided decisively.
“How do we create one?”
“He likes car accidents,” Kylie said.
100%
Adam immediately caught on, but still with some doubt. “But how can we catch him? He can easily avoid acting himself, like
last time.”
“Let me think.” Kylie frowned.
They were playing with open cards, while that person was operating in the shadows
They had been at a disadvantage from the start.
“We lock onto the target and monitor them.” Kylie suddenly suggested.
“How do we monitor them? It’s easy to tip them off. Adam pointed out.
“We have no choice but to take a risk,” Kylie said. “As you said, if this person can remain undetected despite our tests, then I admit that it’s understandable for let him manage the Foster family.”
“Go on with your idea.’ Adam was always straightforward.
There are only a few capable of competing for the Foster family’s estate. Murray and his children, and your own brother, Albert
Adam glanced at Kylie.
“I don’t think Albert needs to be ruled out, but I even considered your father, though he doesn’t seem to have much ambition in this regard, so I gave up on that,” Kylie stated bluntly
“Okay, keep going”
“Tomorrow, we’ll have the Foster family come to the hospital without mentioning any specific reason. We’ll also ask Grandpa’s lawyer to come, without explaining why. Once they’re here, we’ll say Grandpa is being discharged and subtly leak the news that he plans to change his will when he gets home. We’ll pressure the person into action.”
“In a time-critical situation, they’ll surely act, and won’t be too calm. Tomorrow, careful observation might reve something, and they won’t act directly. They’ll definitely make arrangements via phone. All we need to do is fi plant bugs on each person. Once we know who this person is, everything will be clear.”
Adam agreed with Kylie’s strategy but voiced his concern. “I’m worried that if they discover our bugs. This perso definitely more cautious than we imagine.”
“That’s why I suggested tomorrow, and we’ll make time seem urgent. This way, they’ll easily overlook many details, a have an easier time succeeding”
