Chapter 75
Collins had been hustling in the entertainment industry for well over a decade,
clawing his way to the top until he became one of the most sought-after agents
around. His knack for reading a room and picking up on subtle cues was
second to none.
At the moment, Leo's sister was smiling, but to Collins, it felt like there was a chill
behind that smile. He was about to nod and say yes, but for some reason, he
diverted, “No, something came up at the office. That movie he shot abroad needs
some final touches, so he headed straight to the company after landing.”
He paused before adding, “Leo knew you were coming home. He made a point
of asking me to drop off this gift and said he'd swing by as soon as he’s wrapped
up at work.”
Mirabella’s smile twitched slightly as she replied in a cool tone, “Gol it, thanks.”
Scratching his head, Collins couldn't help but ask. “I'm heading back to the office
soon. Is there anything you want me to pass on to Leo?”
Mirabella was already turning to enter the house when his question reached her.
She glanced at the kitchen, then turned her gaze back to him, “Well if it's not too
much trouble, let him know Mom picked up a bunch of his favorite groceries this
morning.”
Collins stood dumbfounded for a moment. By the time he found his words.
Mirabella had already closed the door behind her. After a moment, the smile
faded from his face, replaced by a look of worry. He let out a sigh and walked
back toward the elevator.
Delilah stepped out of the kitchen, with spatula in hand, her cheerful expression
faltering when she saw only her daughter, “Who was that ringing the doorbell just
now, honey? Wasn't that your brother?”
“It was his agent,” Mirabella replied, placing the paper bags on the side cabinet.
Delilah’s face fell slightly. “So. Leo’s not coming today?”
Mirabella glanced at her, “His agent said he had some company matters to deal
with.”
“Alright then,” Delilah sighed, heading back to the kitchen, muttering with a hint of
irritation, “I should have objected when he wanted to get into showbiz. He never
gets a break. His sister comes home after so long, and work still keeps him
away.”
Mirabella just offered a mysterious smile in response.
Meanwhile, Collins didn’t head back to the office after leaving the Davis
residence. Instead, he drove to an upscale villa community in the city center.
After swiping his card at the gate and entering the villa, he placed his keys on the
console table, switched into clean shoes, and went upstairs with a glass of
water.”
“I saw your sister at your place today. She's quite a looker, very much like you,”
Collins began as he entered the master bedroom, speaking to the person lying in
bed. The figure in the bed didn’t stir, lying as still as if asleep.

despondency of neglect. He glared at

Leo stopped mid-sentence, his lips curling into a mocking sneer, his voice
deflating, “Just get out, and don’t bother coming back.”
