Chapter 170 

“You look like you’ve got a response.” Leo said. 

“Of course, this is an opportunity for me.” I replied confidently, “A chance to prove myself to the world.” 

Leo paused, studying me for a moment before nodding thoughtfully. 

“You’ve changed,” he said softly. “I didn’t expect you to handle it like this. I thought you’d be more… vulnerable.” 

I smirked. “I’ve always been strong. You just didn’t notice it before. My most vulnerable time was when I was with you. But even that’s in the past now.” 

expression faltered, a flicker of regret in his eyes. “I’ll tell the PR team to back off,” he said quietly. 

“Good,” I replied, turning away to give him space to make the call. 

Once he hung up, he made no move to leave. 

I turned to him, raising an eyebrow. “It’s late. Why are you still here?” my look clearly said. 

Leo stood in front of me, his expression firm. “You had a big incident today. I don’t feel comfortable leaving you alone. I have to stay with you.” 

I couldn’t help but let out a small laugh, mixed with frustration. “I’m not in any trouble at all. Really, you can go back.” 

But he was insistent, his voice calm yet unwavering. “No, I’m staying.” 

There was little I could do against his persistence, so I finally gave in, waving my hand in a gesture of surrender. “Fine. Stay, if you must.” 

That night, I retired to the master bedroom while Leo took the guest room. 

Or so I thought. Sometime in the dead of night, without my noticing. Leo crept into my bed. 

His strong arms wrapped around me as he slept, making me feel warm and protected, even as I slept deeply. 

When morning broke, I slowly stirred, feeling the weight of an arm draped over me. 

Blinking my eyes open, I found myself lying in Leo’s arms, his face serene as he slept beside me. 

I wrinkled my eyebrows, my voice filled with mild exasperation. “Why did you sneak in again?”

Leo’s eyes fluttered open at my words, and he offered me a sheepish smile. 

“After everything that happened yesterday, I was worried. I thought you might have nightmares again, so I came over to make sure you were okay.” 

I sighed, trying to sound annoyed, but failing to hide my amusement. 

“I didn’t feel irritated at all, and I definitely didn’t have nightmares.” 

His gaze softened as he looked at me, eyes full of affection. “I was just worried about you.” 

I have to admit, being good–looking is quite an advantage. 

He was the one sneaking into my bed, yet with those eyes, filled with such tenderness, it was hard to stay mad at him. 

I sighed again, giving him a playful glare. “In the future, no more sneaking into my bed in the middle of the night.” 

Leo smirked, clearly unbothered by my warning. 

“Last time you changed the locks, I couldn’t even get in. I missed you terribly. You know, when I’m not around you, I’m always worried that someone else might take you from me.” 

I rolled my eyes, picking up my phone to scroll through the latest news. 

The stories and rumors about me had only intensified overnight.

– After I Amazed the World, the Cold Alpha Regretted 

Chapter 170 

I smirked at the screen, feeling more determined than upset. 

“Just as I expected,” I muttered to myself. 

Three days later, Gregor called me. 

His voice was calm, but I could hear the underlying urgency. 

“This situation is blowing up. Investors are calling left and right, asking what’s going on. Do we need to address this?” 

I paused for a moment, then answered with confidence. 

“The Rivermark Grand Prix is in a month. I’ll clear everything up then.” 

gor hesitated. “Are you sure? These rumors are getting out of hand.” 

“Let them spread,” I replied, my voice steady. “I’m going to make a comeback so powerful, no one will be able to deny it. Whoever’s behind this is going to regret it.” 

I reflected on the Singapore Blast Grand Prix, where rumors had first started circulating that I might be Liza. 

But back then, I was just a supporting figure–a small, almost invisible part of the racing world. 

As one of the few female racers in a sea of male competitors, I stood out, but not enough to grab real attention. 

The footage from that race barely even showed me. 

But now, everything was different. 

Public opinion was completely focused on me, and the eyes of the world were watching. 

That constant wave of rumors had only heightened the anticipation. 

My last race had been a quiet return, but this one was my chance to shatter every rumor and prove myself beyond a shadow of a doubt. 

I cleared my schedule for the month, throwing myself entirely into training at the race track. 

Nothing else mattered now–only the upcoming Grand Prix. 

One month later, the day of the race arrived, and Rivermark city was buzzing with excitement. 

The turnout was unprecedented; the stands were filled with both fans and skeptics, all eager to see what would happen.
