Chapter 807
However, Leighton did not expect Trevor to return from Royalburgh so soon this time.
Trevor stuck out his leg and pulled the chair next to him over. Then, he sat down and asked, "You’re acting in Stuart
Winfield’s movie?"
Leighton rolled his eyes at him, "Why are you asking when you already know?"
Trevor got straight to the point.
"Quit the production. I'll find you another one."
Leighton immediately rejected him, "No!"
Trevor studied him, "Don't you know how scary your fans are? They roasted my artist until she became a trending
topic when the filming hadn't even started. We aim to win an award with this film, so don't create any trouble for
me.’
"Who's creating trouble?" Leighton was displeased. He continued," Someone's intentionally sowing discord. I've

"You call that clarification?” Trevor had a slight headache. "Do you think others can't tell who you're talking about
with that sarcasm of yours?”
'The target in Leighton's clarification post on Facebook is way too obvious. He's talking about Bella. But, most
importantly, this bastard even tagged Stella. How's Stella supposed to respond? If she doesn't respond, she's
looking down on Leighton. But if she responds, she's looking down on Bella. Well, it's nothing much if she looks down
on Bella. The main issue is Bella's fans are too annoying,' Trevor thought.
At this thought, Trevor could not help but curse Keegan out.
'That bastard, Keegan. He single-handedly nurtured that plague who gives us trouble from time to time!’ he thought
again.
Meanwhile, Leighton had a look of indifference.
"So be it if they can tell who I’m talking about. After all, I'm merely stating the truth. She had to use eyedrops to act
out a crying scene. How could you be blind enough to sign her?"
Trevor twitched the corner of his eye, "I didn't want to sign her. Jaylene signed her."
"Ohhh," Leighton dragged out his sentence. He continued, "That step-sister of yours? Can't you terminate the
contract after she signed her?" 1
Before Trevor could answer, Leighton continued, "Let me guess, you relented because she pretended to be sick?"
Trevor was speechless.
"What do you mean pretend? Choose your words properly!" he said.
Leighton snorted.
"She's always sick at the right time. So many people worldwide have asthma, but none of them are like her. Even
Colin Craven in The Secret Garden isn't as frail as her."
The Hall family disliked Darcie and her daughter because of Wenham's second marriage. Leighton grew up hearing
such things, so he hated them passionately despite having only met them a few times.
Trevor patted Leighton's head, "Your mom and dad are so good-natured; how'd they give birth to a foul-mouthed
brat like you?"

Leighton moved his head away and did not let Trevor touch him.
Trevor was at a loss for words.
'He's so right that I actually can't refute him,' he thought.
Leighton held a towel and wiped away his sweat.
"Why did you hurriedly come to Royalburgh to look for grandma and grandpa?"
Trevor snapped out of his thought, "Children shouldn't ask about grownup businesses."
Leighton clicked his tongue.
"Then grownups should also stop minding the children's business," he said. Then, he stood up.
"I'm going to take a shower."
"Wait," Trevor stopped him. He continued, "Since you're in the cast, do something for me."
Leighton immediately said sarcastically, 'Do grownups need the help of children?"
Trevor side-eyed him, "Are you asking to be hit?"
Leighton pouted, "Go on."
Trevor cut to the chase and said, 'Help me protect Stella."
Leighton was bewildered.
