Chapter 164 A Grave Mistake

Leo never finished the sentence.

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

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?
