Leah had been running Milo’s entertainment company for a while now, and the more she took charge, the more she found herself struggling to balance the demanding work with her school duties.

It wasn’t until after she fully assumed control that the truth hit her. Milo had always claimed that he built the company with her in mind, but when Leah asked him to help her land acting gigs or variety show appearances last year, he always refused. He insisted she focus on her studies, discouraging her from working too hard.

At the time, Leah believed Milo truly had her best interests at heart.

But after reviewing the company’s resources, she was stunned to discover that Milo had been hoarding valuable opportunities all along. He had given them all to the female artists under his wing, none of whom had found any real success.

They were still struggling to stay relevant in the competitive entertainment industry.

Leah was furious. If she had been given those same chances, she was certain she could’ve done far better than those other women.

The Nelsons had exhausted every lead in their search for Milo, but no trace of him could be found. Frustrated and desperate, Leah decided to meet with Bennett and Sophie in private.

The three of them carefully arranged to meet in a quiet, secluded tea room for maximum privacy.

Bennett’s company, which had once been flourishing, was now rapidly collapsing. Though he clung to a sliver of hope, still trying to keep the business afloat, the moment news spread that Charmaine had appointed a janitor as the new CEO, Bennett became the laughingstock of the industry. His last chance for a comeback had been obliterated.
