    Leon dropped his gaze to the contract in his hand, deep in thought. He recognized that he needed to weigh his options carefully. After all, his current appearance wasn''t conducive to signing with anypany.


    In the car, Emily asked Samantha inquisitively, "Sam, what brought you to this ce to sign a contract with that disfigured man? He looks so unattractive-what''s the point of bringing him on board?" What do you mean by unattractive? "Emily, are you aware that sometimes yourments can be quite malicious? What do you mean by unattractive? Leon used to be a national heartthrob and a well-known handsome figure. Yes, he''s disfigured now for reasons we don''t know, but with reconstructive surgery, he could easily regain his former look."


    Leon? Something suddenly clicked within Emily. "Wait, the man we just met was the former national heartthrob, Leon? Right! That''s the one. I recall that three years ago, he was sentenced to death for murder and sent to prison. So, how is he out now?" She began to theorize. "Could Leon have bribed the guards to secure his release?"


    Samantha was struck dumb at her words. "Emily!"


    Startled by her outburst, Emily stared at her with a puzzled expression. "Sam, why are you so upset? Have said something inappropriate?"


    "Do you even realize what you''ve said? Emily, the situation with Leon isn''t as you''ve portrayed it. He didn''tmit murder; he was wrongfully used and imprisoned three years ago. So, please choose your words wisely until we have all the facts.


    "I''m asking you to refrain from spreading rumors until this is thoroughly investigated. Otherwise, Leon could take legal action for defamation. Besides, he might even end up being an artist with mypany in the future. If that happens and you still speak poorly of him in my presence, don''t be surprised if I respond harshly."


    Why is Samantha reacting this way? Did she really need to get so worked up over a casualment? It''s just Leon. Why does it feel like she''s valuing him that highly? And he''s disfigured, to boot.


    Emily gazed at Samantha, clearly frustrated. "Sam, why do otherpanies have young and attractive artists while your choice is a disfigured man who''s also a convicted murderer? To be blunt, if you go ahead and sign a contract with him, it could spell disaster for the Wace Corporation."


    The news about Samantha''s role as CEO of the Wace Corporation was already all over the inte, so naturally, Emily was aware of Samantha''s new position Given the general skepticism surrounding her ability to lead thepany, it was no surprise that even Emily had doubts about it. Samantha''s expression grew even more grim as she sat in the car, hearing Emily''s remarks, "Emily, when did I ever give you the impression that I''m easy-going? Did you not hear anything I just said? If you continue making suchments, I have every right to sue you for defamation."


    "I... Emily hesitated, unwilling to back downpletely. "I''m only concerned that you''ll regret bringing a
