Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Leighton suddenly remembered what the woman who caused a scene at the previous press conference had said. That woman
claimed Nicole was “
seducing her own brother.” Was she talking about this guy?
Nicole seemed to read his mind and laughed. ’I don’t like him, and I never will.
He’s not good enough for me.’ Leighton’s eyelid twitched. He muttered, ‘Thick-skinned.”
He was used to hearing people say they weren’t good enough for someone else. This was the first time he’d heard someone
boldly declare that the other person wasn’t good enough for them. How could Estelle call him narcissistic?
This crazy girl was way more self-absorbed than he was!
Estelle looked slightly guilty. “If this had happened a week ago, I would’ve taken you there without your asking.
But now, it’s not possible. My girlfriend and her mom are staying with me, so it’s really inconvenient.”
Before long, they arrived at Nicole’s place, only to find a crowd already gathered, waiting to corner her.
Estelle didn’t even stop the car, simply detouring around the crowd.
Leighton frowned. “How did your address get exposed?” “No idea.” Nicole was puzzled too. When she and Leighton had gone
public with their relationship, the reporters hadn’t been able to find out where she lived.
How did they manage it this time?
“Where are you staying then?” Leighton asked.
Nicole replied, “Aren’t I your girlfriend? I’ll stay at your place.”
Leighton firmly refused, “In your dreams!”
Nicole clicked her tongue. “I’ll crash at your place for now. There are cameras everywhere, and it’s inconvenient for me to go
anywhere else. I’ll leave when it gets dark.”
Leighton was reluctant, thinking of dumping her at a hotel.

Nicole saw through his intentions and warned, “If you dare leave me, I’ll post on Facebook that you used me and dumped me.”
Leighton’s face darkened, but he begrudgingly agreed because he genuinely believed she would do it.
Estelle drove toward Leighton’s place, but they didn’t even get through the gate before being scared off. The reporters outside
Leighton’s home were even more numerous than those at Nicole’s.
Now, neither of them could go home.
Leighton was extremely frustrated. He didn’t want to bother Stella or Trevor -one was pregnant, and the other had a fake sick
sister at home.
He didn’t want to inconvenience them or risk stressing out the fake sick sister and getting scolded by his family. Though his
family didn’t like Darcie Arnold and Jaylene Saun, they had to maintain decorum because his uncle had remarried.
It wouldn’t be appropriate or dignified for his side of the family to cause trouble in their household.
If not for his grandparents’ insistence on propriety, he could have driven Jaylene out long ago!
After thinking it over, Leighton looked at Estelle. “Estelle, don’t you have a spare room? I remember you renting a two-bedroom
place.”
Leighton was surprised. “When did you get a girlfriend? How did I not know?”
Leighton complained, “You got a girlfriend and didn’t even tell me!”
Nicole was more interested in the girlfriend’s age, so she asked, “Estelle, how old is your girlfriend?”
A master’s or doctoral graduate would be an acceptable age difference.
Estelle’s eyes shifted evasively. After a moment, he hesitantly said, “She’ll be twenty-two this summer.
