Chapter 148
Before dinner, Agnes called Leopold, and as expected, he was too busy to come home for dinner tonight. She understood, after all, he had delayed a lot of work after picking her up from Willow Creek, and he had been on the phone constantly in the car, only teasing her a few times, but otherwise busy.
After reminding him to eat on time, Agnes started dinner alone.
Without Leopold's company, she felt much more at ease. For example, she could now eat and play on her phone at the same time.
Just as she was about to check the news on Twitter, she received a call from Bella.
"Dear Bella," Agnes responded cheerfully after taking a sip of soup.
As soon as she finished speaking, Bella's voice came through, "Agnes, have you seen today's headlines?"
"Not yet, I was just about to check when you called. What's going on?" she asked.
"Leopold is in the news again! I've noticed that ever since you two got together, Leopold is mentioned by the media almost every other day, and it's the kind that doesn't need a PR team to handle," Bella said excitedly before quickly hanging up.
Curious, Agnes clicked on the Twitter news headlines, and the first trending topic that caught her eye was "Leopold Married," showing that many people had viewed it.
The word "married" made Agnes's heart race. Could it be that their secret marriage had been exposed?
Thinking of this, she lost her appetite, quickly put down her fork, and stared at the text for a while.
She opened the link, which was filled with many pictures and text descriptions. She instinctively skipped the main text and went straight to the photos. The first picture was of Leopold at the charity event that afternoon, dressed in a sharp suit, holding a trophy with a slight smile; the next was a close-up of his left ring finger wearing a ring; then a screenshot of an interview video showing Leopold remaining silent when asked by reporters; and the last one was a candid shot of him leaving a hotel.
The headline read "Mr. Neville Wearing a Ring, Suspected of Hiding Married Status?" The content roughly described how Leopold attended an award ceremony that day and won the title of 'Havenia's Most Influential Philanthropist.' During the award ceremony, a photographer captured the unusual ring on his hand, and although he did not directly respond to the questions, he did not deny the truth of the matter either.
At this time, both Leopold's personal Twitter and the company's official account had many comments, with cries and blessings intertwined, and many calling for Leopold to explain the truth; some even dug up Agnes's past confession to Leopold at school to prove their relationship. However, those comments were quickly deleted.
Agnes scrolled down to the bottom of Leopold's Twitter and saw that new comments had surged by hundreds of thousands, with just two old posts having over five million likes!
It seemed that an inconspicuous ring could cause such a huge stir, once again proving Leopold's unparalleled charm, even more popular than top celebrities.
Just as Agnes's emotions were fluctuating, Leopold's call interrupted her thoughts. Before he could speak, she asked first, "Hey, what do we do now?"
"You saw it too, right?" he said calmly.
"Yeah, so what are you going to do?" she asked nervously.
"Whatever you like," Leopold's relaxed tone was infuriating, but his meaning was clear: since Agnes wanted to go public with their relationship, they should announce it openly.
Actually, he also found this matter quite tricky, as his relationship had a huge impact, leaving the PR team helpless. So the most direct and effective way was for him to personally admit everything.
Hearing this, Agnes was stunned for a few seconds before coming to her senses, "Are we going to announce our marriage? But shouldn't this be handled by a professional team?"
Leopold was obviously unhappy hearing this, "Do you want to keep hiding, or just straightforwardly show the certificate?"
After some thought, Agnes decided to support the latter. "Alright, since we can't avoid it, we might as well admit it openly. After all, so many people like you. Maybe the fans have been looking forward to this moment."
Not long after, Leopold finally updated his Twitter account, which had never posted anything original. He uploaded a photo of a passionate kiss in the car. The main characters were him, dressed in a gray suit, dominantly pushing Agnes, wearing a white sweater, into the corner of the seat for a deep kiss.
Yes! His domineering personality was fully displayed!
Although Agnes's face was completely obscured, the sight of her tightly clenched fingers was enough to spark endless imagination.
This candid shot was taken by his assistant Kevin, originally intended for Agnes's private collection. But given the situation and overhearing Leopold's intentions, he decided to offer it to Leopold as material.
As expected, it earned Leopold a cold stare and Agnes's quick escape from the scene.
Around seven in the evening, Agnes, feeling anxious after dinner, cautiously checked Leopold's homepage and found that the post had already garnered millions of likes and shares. After carefully examining it several times, she confirmed that the woman in the picture was indeed herself!
