Chapter 206 Hollywood Should Be Kicking Themselves

"For years, I've been living in utter misery, worse off than a stray dog. It's all your doing, Professor Paige Ashbourne! If you don't give me a proper explanation, you're stuck with me!"

Paige tried to defuse the situation and offered the man a five-million-dollar compensation. The man shot back right away, demanding 10 million dollars instead. After a brief moment of hesitation, Paige gave in.

Gordon didn't catch a single word of what they said after that. He was so shocked that his ears were ringing like a bell.

It took him about half an hour to finally calm down. Then he motioned for his assistant to come over.

The car window rolled down. Gordon had regained his usual calm composure. He handed the phone back to his assistant. "Send this audio to my phone," he said.

The assistant took the phone and climbed into the driver's seat.

Gordon folded his hands on his lap and asked, "Where did this

audio come from?"

The assistant filled him in. "It was sent to me from an unknown

number."

"Find out who owns that number!"

The assistant knew he'd ask. He'd started the investigation as soon as he received the audio and just got the result before Gordon called him over.

"I've had someone look into it. The number belongs to Derek Holloway." Gordon's expression turned serious.

Just as he'd suspected!

At Reed Villa, Leo had just gotten home when the butler rushed up to him.

"Mr. Reed, you're finally back!"

Leo looked grim and strode inside.

The butler had to jog to keep up, his voice full of panic and confusion. "Mrs. Paige Reed is okay now, but she's really emotional. I've got the maids taking turns watching her to make sure nothing else happens."

Leo kept a straight face and said nothing.

"Mr. Reed, Mrs. Paige Reed keeps saying she's sorry to someone
