The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Who exactly is Neon Paradox? They were the hottest, most popular band. They were internationally recognized as one of the most influential rock groups around!

Their unique rock vibe had captivated countless youths, and their albums over the past couple. of years had been nothing short of blockbuster hits. Every record was sold out with pre–orders. before it even hit the shelves. It was fair to say their clout in the domestic music scene was downright frightening.

As Neon Paradox’s leader, Leo wasn’t only revered for his natural leadership abilities. His creative genius and impeccable stage presence were the heart and soul of the band. With a personal fanbase nudging the hundred million mark, Leo was a bona fide superstar.

So, when some shameless opportunist tried to make a move during a moment of weakness, it was no wonder Collins was ticked off. Even if their star, Leo, could never perform on stage again, it wouldn’t be the turn for some lowlife to trash his legacy.

“He wants me to hand over the lead to Jay,” Leo said with crisp clarity in his eyes as he looked

at Collins.

Jay is an artist Cory groomed and a Phenomenal Band member. He wasn’t the lead singer. He and Leo’s relationship had been relatively calm over the past few years, but as Leo’s fanbase and commercial deals grew, so did Jay’s envy. With Leo’s recent injury, Jay saw his chance to

stir trouble.

“Jay’s got some talent, sure, but he’s too arrogant, too full of himself. Anything he creates is all flash, no substance,” Collins remarked with undisguised disdain.

Originally, Jay was meant to be Collins‘ protégé, but he had turned him down.

Leo pursed his lips but said nothing more.

Collins glanced at Leo and sighed softly, then as if remembering something, he added, “By the way, a friend of mine suggested you could try alternative medicine for your condition.”

Leo listened without a visible change in emotion. If even Nick, the genius, said Leo couldn’t perform anymore, what good would alternative medicine do? Shaking his head, Leo replied nonchalantly, “We’ll see.”

Collins patted Leo’s shoulder, reassuringly stating, “As long as there’s a glimmer of hope, I won’t give up. You head back home and get some rest. I’ll handle things at the company and smooth everything over.”

Leo was signed with Lamont Entertainment, not quite the industry titan, but definitely a powerhouse capable of making waves in the business. Rich in resources, they had propelled many artists to stardom. This made a contract with Lamont Entertainment highly coveted but difficult to secure due to its high standards.

Having worked at Lamont Entertainment for nearly a decade, evolving from a rookie assistant

to a top agent, Collins‘ capabilities were unquestionable. If he said he could handle it, he could. Looking earnestly at Collins, Leo said, “Thanks, Collins.”

Collins waved it off, “No thanks needed. Just focus on getting better.” He paused, then added “You might want to stay away from your private villa for a while. Cory’s no good; better to play it safe.”

Leo hummed in agreement, then stood up. As he reached into his pocket for his face mask, he also pulled out the bottle of medicine Mirabella had given him that morning. He paused, momentarily distracted, having forgotten to leave it at home amidst the day’s disruptions.

With his sharp eyes, Collins noticed the bottle and asked curiously, “What’s that fancy–looking bottle you got there.”

Holding the porcelain bottle, a warmth spread across Leo’s features, “It’s a welcome gift from my sister.”
