Chapter 1392: Chapter 1392: He’s Leon Battleson’s Man
George Robbins spoke hastily, but Leon Battleson remained silent, leaving only the sound of something gradually approaching on the ground to respond to him.
The growing sound drilled into George’s ears, and when he saw a pair of high heels appear before him, a flash of shock crossed his eyes.
George never expected a woman to be by Leon Battleson’s side.
Knowing Leon’s personality, George couldn’t help but feel curious about what kind of woman could possibly be worthy of standing by Leon’s side.
"It seems you’re quite confident about bringing Justin Battleson down."
The woman’s lips parted slowly as she spoke, while she extended the glass of red wine in her hand and offered it to Leon.
Taking this opportunity, George discreetly glanced up, only to lock eyes with the woman’s descending gaze.
The moment he clearly saw the woman’s face, George’s pupils trembled violently, and he nearly blurted out a name.
Charlotte Thompson!
George’s heart was in utter turmoil.
Why was Charlotte here? Wasn’t she with Justin Battleson?
Recalling Charlotte’s earlier remarks, George speculated—could Charlotte be pretending to be with Justin in order to use him to take over Riley Group?
Riley Thompson, of course, didn’t miss the shock on George’s face when he saw her appearance.
She curled the corners of her lips into a faint smile, then placed her hand lightly on Leon Battleson’s shoulder and leaned her body slightly toward him.
"The production I’m filming is about to wrap up, and I’ve received offers for several other roles. How about you, young master, help me choose?"
Riley’s soft voice carried deliberate undertones, which promptly reminded George of recent rumors online about an actress who looked remarkably like Charlotte Thompson.
Those reports had been shown to him by Florienna Ellis, but back then, George hadn’t paid it much mind.
Now, however, George couldn’t help but understand—the actress was Leon Battleson’s person.
Leon, of course, realized Riley’s words were intentional, spoken for George’s benefit. He nonchalantly lifted his hand to pinch Riley’s chin, turning her face toward George after a moment’s examination.
"Who do you think she looks like?"
Leon’s question was asked knowingly, his tone casual.
At this point, George obediently raised his head, but faced with Leon’s question, he hesitated and didn’t immediately answer. "She looks like..."
"What?" Leon’s voice rose slightly at the end, his displeasure evident at George’s indecision.
"Like Charlotte Thompson," George swallowed hard before he finally responded.
"Then, if she went to work at Riley Group, how many people do you think would mistake her for Charlotte?" Leon asked lazily, his tone almost teasing.
George carefully scrutinized Riley this time, not daring to delay further, and he quickly replied:
"She’s not exactly the same as Charlotte Thompson. At first glance, one might mistake her for Charlotte, but upon closer inspection, the differences become apparent."
Despite his measured response, looking at Riley, George couldn’t shake a faint unease.
However, after George gave this answer, a trace of frustration surfaced within Riley’s heart.
Why was he blurting out such inconvenient truths at this moment? Wasn’t this just begging for Leon to get annoyed?
As George’s heart raced with apprehension, Leon let out a faint snigger, his gaze shifting toward Riley beside him...
