"Cruel?" Xavier sneered and glared at Shirley. "Letting you live after everything you've done is already generous!”

Shirley's eyes instantly turned watery, and she grabbed his arm and sobbed. "I know that you're still mad at me

because of the affair, and that's why you're behaving like this, but don't you still love me? Give me another chance,

we can start over!"

"No way." Xavier brushed her hand off in disgust. "My intentions back then were sincere, and I really did want to

spend the rest of my life with you, but you disappointed me. You're devious and greedy, and I hate that kind of

person the most. The only thing I feel for you now is disdain, and if you leave now, maybe I won't think so badly of

you."

Shirley collapsed on the floor in despair and helplessness. "I didn't do that because I was greedy... I just hoped I

could be the perfect match for you. I didn't know things would turn out that way. Your father and I...’

"Shut up!" Xavier interrupted her and clenched his fists. "Don't bring him up in front of me. You both are

disgusting!"

"I'm really sorry, Xavier. I never wanted to hurt you. I've always loved you, you know that. Please give me another

chance and not suspend me. I can take up secondary female roles or join variety shows. I can start over, I..."

"Even until now, the only thing you're worried about is yourself. Now I know for sure that I made the right decision,"

Xavier scoffed with

disappointment. 'Universal Entertainment isn't doing charity and has no interest in making losses. The board of

directors has made a decision, and it's non-negotiable."

"Fine, but don't forget that it was you who asked for this!" Shirley realized that he had made up his mind, so there

was no point in her pretending to be weak or pitiful. The only thing she could do right now was ask for help from a

person more powerful than Xavier...

And she most certainly could do that.

"You're not the sole owner of Universal Entertainment, you know. If you want to suspend me and promote someone

else, you have to ask for his permission.’ Shirley slowly stood up, the tears in her eyes now replaced with a cunning

gleam.

Meanwhile, Leia was hunched over and leaning against the door of Xavier's office, trying her best to eavesdrop on

their conversation. "Damn it! What are they talking about? What happened that made Xavier fall out with his first

love?"

She could only hear their conversation vaguely from this distance. It seemed that the company had decided to

suspend Shirley and promoted another celebrity because she had done something to disappoint Xavier...

'Hah! I knew there was something fishy going on. This is going to shock the whole entertainment circle!' Leia

thought triumphantly, her fangirl past resurfacing as she smelled gossip. Although she had entered the elevator,

she did not go downstairs. She casually went to another floor and then secretly returned to this floor.

She was still Xavier's girlfriend. Even if she wanted to ignore him, she couldn't pretend to not care if another

woman was trying to snatch him away. However, she still had pride, so she didn't want Xavier to find out. If not, he

would always bring it up in the future.

At first, Leia planned to leave after getting sufficient info, but her curiosity made her linger on. As a result...

Clang! The door opened suddenly, and Leia went tumbling into Xavier's office.
