Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 164 A Grave Mistake

"Mom, you just-"

Leo never finished the sentence.

Eyes bloodshot, he lowered his head, hiding the shock and disappointment written all over his face.

He'd caught wind of the scandal surrounding Alistair after the news of Stellar Films' terminated contract. It was all over the industry.

But it had never occurred to him that the screenwriter "Alistair" was the same man married to Caroline.

Leo felt cold all over.

For the first time, he was scared of her.

Normally, he would've defended his mother without hesitation.

But what if Caroline was simply protecting herself? What if his mother really had crossed the line?
