Chapter 791
“As for her career taking a hit, what does it matter? Isn’t that just the life of a celebrity?”
“Some people accidentally get blown up or crippled on set.”
“This industry might pay well, but it comes with its risks.”
“Since Sienna Darwin chose this line of work, she should have been mentally prepared.”
Tiffany firmly believed her nephew was completely innocent. In her eyes, this was just a petty squabble between the Darwin sisters, and Leon had been caught in the crossfire.
“It’s not a sure thing anyway. The entertainment industry is a young woman’s game.”
“Fame doesn’t last forever. Who knows how long she would have stayed at the top anyway?”
“Karla, I’m not trying to burst your bubble. I know Sienna is your client and your biggest cash cow, but…”
Every word spilling from Tiffany’s mouth was nothing short of vile.
Karla didn’t want to hear another second of it and cut her off sharply. “Enough. Save it.”
“I’m not interested in your twisted logic. But you are right about one thing-Sienna is my top earner.”
“So, you better tell Leon to prepare himself for prison.”
Karla’s cold, ruthless tone made Tiffany freeze.
She knew Karla wasn’t an easy woman to fool, but they were practically family. Shouldn’t that count for something?
Why was she refusing to yield an inch, dead-set on sending Leon behind bars?
“Karla, Leon is still young. He has a bright future ahead of him. You can’t just let him go to jail!”
“We’re extended family, for god’s sake. Can’t you just put in a good word and smooth this over?”
“We’ve looked into the case. As long as Sienna nods her head, Leon is in the clear.”
Sure, it was a criminal case now, but wasn’t Sienna’s little cousin the one who actually got her hands dirty?
As long as Sienna agreed not to press charges against Leon, the Byron family could throw enough money at the problem to make that little bitch change her tune
Didn’t that bitch have a crush on Leon anyway?
Why couldn’t she just take the fall for him?
As far as Tiffany was concerned, her nephew was suffering for no reason. It was all that little slut’s fault.
“Even if Sienna decided not to press charges, Lillian Cole has already
given on up. You really thinker
can make
lan change her story?
Karla was a smart woman. One look at Tiffany’s face, and she knew exactly what the woman was scheming.
“Getting Lillian to change her story isn’t impossible. When you get
to it, this whole mess was down
fueled by that gins jealousy.
“If you ask me, Karla, your starlet was careless. She kept a venomous snake by her
side. She practically dug her own grave.”
In Tiffany’s eyes, Sienna had brought this upon herself.
But she knew better than to say that to Karla’s face.
Karla was clearly fiercely protective of her client.
“Right. She misjudged the people around her, but that doesn’t excuse Leon from facing the law.”
“You can save your breath. I will never agree to a settlement, and neither will Sienna.”
Seeing that Karla was an absolute brick wall, Tiffany’s temper flared.
They were technically in-laws, yet Karla wasn’t giving her a shred of respect.
She blamed her own husband and father-in-law for being useless, which was why her in-laws always looked down on her.
Look at the main branch of the family-no matter how much she sucked up to them, they were absolutely no help in the end.
Resentment boiled in Tiffany’s chest, but she forced herself to keep begging. “Karla, how about this? Just let me see Sienna.”
“What if she’s willing to settle?”
“Sienna and Leon worked on the same set, after all. They never had any real bad blood.”
