Chapter 62 The Unforgiving Gaze

• From the moment the truth came out, the name Leo Wellington was no longer a mystery. He stopped being the quiet, almost untouchable billionaire everyone whispered about in awe. Instead, he became a target everyone wanted to know his story. Suddenly, his face was everywhere. Newspapers, magazines, and websites all had his picture on the front page. The headlines were loud and impossible to ignore: “Wellington Family Scandal,” “Billionaire’s Brother Accused of Attempted Murder,” and “Love Triangle Turns Deadly.” Everything that made him feel safe the privacy, the secrecy was gone. His world had been turned upside down, and there was no way back to the way things were before.
• His penthouse, which used to feel like a safe place away from the world, now felt like a fancy prison. Every email he sent was read with suspicion. Every phone call could be a trap waiting to snap shut. And going outside? Forget about it. Paparazzi waited like vultures, ready to pounce the moment he stepped out. He kept seeing himself in those blurry photos, reading those rumors, and the shame cut deeper than any harsh words. They didn’t just see Leo they saw the man whose hidden mistakes had caused someone else so much pain.
• But the chaos from the media was nothing compared to the danger lurking in his own company. The Wellington Group, built by his own father and once untouchable, was now under attack. And as the CEO, Leo was the one standing in front, trying to protect it.
