Five days after his clash with Lee Hua, Leo's world began to collapse. His father Richard tried to guide him with patience and experience, but Leo, arrogant and convinced of his own superiority, refused to listen, dismissing his father's advice as ignorant rambling.
Each attempt Leo made to reassert his power only worsened the situation. He alienated allies, destroyed the few relationships he had left.
Richard, who had built everything with his own hands, could only watch in frustration as his son spiraled.
The breaking point came in a late-night argument, when Richard finally declared that Leo was nothing but a spoiled child and decided to leave control of everything to Vanessa.
"Fuck…" Leo murmured, seeing his father walk away.
He thought it was just bravado but soon he realized no one in the company would answer his calls anymore.
And that was just the beginning, as things would get considerably worse.
Leo's descent was not a slow one, it was a plunge.
