The club was still trying to catch its breath after the whole mess with Coach Thorne. People were shocked, angry, and confused. But while everyone was focused on that, something else was boiling beneath the surface; Scarlett Thompson. And this time, there was no hiding behind charm or excuses.

Sir Alistair Finch, the club’s chairman, knew the pressure was on. The public was watching closely, and they wanted someone to pay for all the scandals.

But only if you promise publicly to support the women’s team properly. Real support. Real money. Real equality.”Sir Alistair didn’t answer right away. He looked at Leo with a hard expression partly annoyed, partly impressed, and mostly... trapped. The club was in shambles after the scandal, and Leo was the only star they had left who hadn’t been dragged through the mud.Finally, after what felt like forever, Sir Alistair sighed. “Captain Sterling,” he said, voice low, “you don’t mak
