The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 514

[What's that you said?]

[Some folks are saying that Lucian was originally engaged to Kayleigh, but he broke it off to be with his current fiancée.]

Allison responded, [That's a bunch of hogwash.]

She never thought there would come a day when she'd have to dispel rumors about Mr. Lindberg.

Emma chipped in, [Of course, I know it's all baloney, but the rumor mill in Hollywood's been buzzing. Some say Kayleigh was Lucian's mistress, and when Kayleigh didn't shoot any movies for two months, the paparazzi were all over her, implying she was pregnant. Kayleigh had to debunk these rumors several times. She has her fair share of haters, and every time she gets close to anyone big in Hollywood, they say she's gold-digging, even though Kayleigh's family is pretty well-off, to begin with.]

Hollywood was indeed a whirlwind. It required a heart of steel.

And just at that moment, Lucian arrived. His presence stirred up a commotion. The room started buzzing like a beehive. People began to whisper among themselves.

Lucian, clad in a sleek black suit, was strikingly handsome and impressive.

A natural-born leader.

He gave a slight nod and took his place at the head table. Under the play of light and shadow, his sharp, handsome features seemed like a masterpiece sculpted by God himself. His gaze seemed to instinctively sweep across the room, searching for someone, but to no avail.
