The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1300
Leia now realized that Xavier had the final say here."Do you want me to say yes?" Xavier immediately understood Leia's intense look, and smiled mischievously at her."Of course!" Leia gritted her teeth and whispered in his ear, "You know why we came, so we have to keep an eye on Shirley at all times to find the truth as soon as possible.""What's in it for me if I agree?" "What do you want?" Leia clenched her fists angrily. 'Even at a time like this, that scumbag still wants to take advantage of me. How inhumane!'"Not much... I just want you to obey me for the next few days." Xavier pouted at her and whined, "You bullied me so much the past few days, it really broke my heart…"Leia cursed inwardly but forced a smile onto her face. "You want me to listen to you? Sure, you're the king here now, so everyone will listen to you!""That's right!" Xavier touched Leia's head in satisfaction as if he was petting an animal. Everyone saw how they whispered to each other like a young c

A videographer followed the group with a camera, recording all of their actions and words.Adam sat in the studio, watching everything. At first, he was worried that the episode might be ruined, and even decided to shoot another episode after Xavier and Leia left. However, both Xavier and Leia were surprisingly interesting, especially Leia. She was a tough woman with tons of energy, and she looked like Xavier's significant other given the latter's arrogant, germophobic, and weak nature. As an outsider, he began to ship their romance too."Yes, get more footage of them! That's exactly what I want. I'm sure it'll be popular when it's broadcasted." Adam held a walkie-talkie and excitedly ordered the frontline filming staff. He had been a director for many popular variety shows, so he could tell at a glance what kinds of scenes would be liked or disliked.The first three episodes of Shirley had nothing interesting to show for, so he figured that this season would be ruined. But now, it

Goosebumps prickled Leia's skin, and she immediately pulled her hand away. "Yeah, I'm sure you know this place well. After all, you sleep in town at night, and even ask the local villagers to carry you out of the village. Of course, you'll know the place."Shirley's expression turned livid. "Miss, are you making a joke? I didn't do that. I sleep in the village at night.""Ah, so what if you sleep in town? You don't have to hide it. You're an actress, so I'm sure you just want to memorize your script in a better place. I'm sure the audience can understand your situation!" Leia criticized Shirley, but none of the camera crew tried to stop her. On the contrary, they became quite excited because they were annoyed by Shirley putting on airs. They had to wake up early in the morning and they had to spend a long time waiting for her to come back to the village from town. It was ridiculous!Previously, no one had dared to say anything about it, but unexpectedly, the new guest was pretty bol

Shirley saw a chance and took it. "Ah!" She screamed and fell backwards. She was on a slope, so she tumbled down it."Shirley, are you okay?" Xavier caught up to them, and quickly went to help Shirley.Shirley rolled for a while before she hit a stone. Her head was bleeding, and her ankle was sprained. "Ah, it hurts so bad! Is my leg broken?""No, you're going to be fine. It's just a sprain." Xavier inspected Shirley's leg before he took off his coat. He used his coat and a straight branch as a makeshift cast, then leaned down and carried her on his back.Leia was scared out of her wits. She just wanted to get to the bottom of this. She hadn't pushed Shirley, but the angle of the shot made it appear like she had purposely pushed Shirley down the hill. "How... How is she?" Leia swallowed, her face pale."Get out of the way!" Xavier carried Shirley and pushed Leia aside, then said coldly, "You're out of line today. It's very disappointing.""I didn't..." Leia wanted to explain bu

Shirley was injured, so filming had to be paused temporarily. Both Xavier and the crew helped send Shirley to the hospital in town together."Doctor, how is she?" Once the doctor finished checking Shirley, Xavier quickly went forward. "She's fine, it's just a small fracture. We'll get her a cast, and she'll recover in a week," the doctor explained calmly. Actually, it was just a twisted ankle, but Shirley had secretly transferred some money to him and demanded he say that it was a fracture. So, the doctor went against his conscience and did so.Tsk! Rich people nowadays had peculiar thoughts. They were fine but pretended to be injured. Did they have nothing else better to do?"That's great." Xavier heaved a sigh of relief. If Shirley was fine, Leia wouldn't get in too much trouble. Xavier walked into the ward and looked at Shirley who was lying in bed. "Don't worry, it's just a small fracture. You're fine. You'll recover after laying in bed for a week."Shirley's eyes were tear

When Shirley saw Xavier's pained expression, she hung her head guiltily. "I'm sorry. I didn't expect that affair to hurt you that much...""You didn't expect it?" Xavier scoffed, feeling like he had just heard the world's funniest joke. He said sarcastically, "You were the woman I adored but you seduced my father for the sake of resources. How could you say that you didn't expect it to hurt me?" It had happened long ago, and he had kept it buried deep in his heart. Now, that pain had resurfaced again. The incident had traumatized him so much that he lost all faith in relationships, and didn't believe in pure love anymore."You were the first person I gave my heart to. I adored you and doted on you like you were my child. I went against my principles so many times because of you, and the whole of Beach City laughed at me for being a kiss-ass. But I never once regretted it. I felt that you would be touched one day, and that you would sincerely accept me. But in the end... not only was

"You're threatening me?" Xavier disliked being threatened the most, and could see through her schemes. "What do you take me for? Am I some kind of item offered to make peace?" "Did I?" Shirley smiled bitterly, looking very self-deprecating. "I just want to be your friend, but you're saying I threatened you. Do you want us to hate each other forever? Will that make you happy?"Xavier was at a loss for words. He wasn't happy about it, but it seemed like she just wanted them to be friends again. There would be no reason to plot against him just for that. "Fine, I can make peace with you and be your friend from now on. I hope you can keep your promise though; this thing ends here. Don't let it become worse." "Okay, you have my word." Shirley nodded and spread her arms out. "Can we hug each other as friends?""Isn't that unnecessary?" Xavier frowned, instantly cautious."It's just a hug between friends, there's no harm in it. What's more, I nearly died just now. Can't you console me
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1307
It was a very normal statement, but Leia could tell that Shirley was provoking her. She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but that kind of gaze disgusted her."It seems like I came at the wrong time. I don't want to disturb you, so I'll go now..." Leia bit her lip and kept her head low as she was about to leave. "No, it's fine." Xavier let go of Shirley and said to Leia coldly, "You caused such a great accident. Don't you want to resolve it?" He was on Leia's side but he could not favor her at a moment like this. Firstly, he didn't want to spoil her. Secondly, he didn't want to make Shirley jealous in case she decided to take revenge on Leia. Leia assumed that he was sorry for his first love, and bitterness and envy overwhelmed her. She didn't want to retreat, so she braced herself and walked into the ward before asking Shirley, "You know very well that I didn't push you down the hill on purpose, but I won't try to shift the blame either. So, what is it you want? Medical fee

"I'm so thirsty!" The burning sensation of the wine made Renee thirsty. She wanted to drink some water.In the dark, she heard some rustling. The next second, something was on her lips. It seemed to be someone else's lips. She wondered if someone had secretly kissed her."Who are you?" Renee grabbed the person in front of her and interrogated angrily, "How dare you kiss me without my permission! Do you know who I am? I'll cut off your lips!""Let's see if you can do that or not." The man sounded dull and drunk, but he was also overbearing.Although Renee was drunk, she could discern who it was. She called out in the dark and tried to confirm her doubt. "Haze…?" "Yeah, it's me," Justin admitted, but he did not plan to let her go. He used a more overbearing manner and trapped her between him and the door."What do you want?" Renee panicked. She wanted to kick him away, but she did not resist when she learned that it was Justin. After she had done so many things to hurt him, s

The servant walked forward with trepidation and helped Justin back to his room. Austin's eyes were dark. He whispered to his assistant, who nodded and immediately carried out his order.After two glasses of strong wine, Renee felt dizzy and could not stand steadily. "It's weird. Is this wine this strong? I just had two glasses of it, but I feel quite dizzy." It was hard for her to exit the hall. She could not stand properly, so she supported herself against the wall."Ms. Everheart, you didn't seem well. Let me help you to get some rest." Austin's assistant caught up to her and stood behind her. He even sounded respectful. "It's… fine. I can go back to my room." Renee waved; she didn't want to trouble others. Besides, she did not want others to see how miserable she was. She had assumed that she was good at drinking and would not get drunk, but it seemed like she had overestimated herself. After two glasses of wine, she became quite drowsy. She would not easily leave if s

Renee blinked and smiled brightly at Justin, asking him, "Are you worried about me?" "No, I'm not worried about you!" Justin said angrily. "I don't want you to get killed here. I can't explain it to your brother and kids. It's hard to handle the three of them."He was not lying. Although he had befriended Quinton, Adie and Abby might make a scene there if they realized that Renee had drunk so much wine at the party. They were witty, always full of ideas.Hence, it was better not to cause trouble. Before they could make a scene and things get out of control, Justin must stop Renee. He wasn't worried about her at all. "So, you're not worried about me?" Renee's gaze turned dull as she sighed. "It looks like you didn't forgive me. So, I must drink this glass of wine." Something was wrong with Renee, or perhaps she just wanted to torture herself. It seemed like she insisted on drinking the wine. She swung off Justin's hand and gulped down the wine."You're out of your mind!" Justi

The aged white wine was strong. Ordinary people would find it hard to drink a glass of it. Yet, Renee had drunk two glasses of it consecutively. It was a little dangerous. Everyone at the dining table was initially watching the fun, but they showed Renee some pity after she drank two glasses of wine consecutively. After wiping her lips clean, Renee staggered and said to Justin, "Let me toast to you now. I've wronged you the most." Justin, sitting there, said with a poker face, "You don't have to say sorry to me. We don't hold each other any grudge. After all, we can't make others fall in love with us.""No, I must apologize to you. It's for my sake." After that, Renee used a bigger glass and filled it with wine."Whatever!" Justin frowned and ignored Renee. He had no idea what was wrong with her. He had yielded and let her off, but she stubbornly wanted to keep drinking the wine.He wondered if she had forgotten the fact that she had just recovered from a serious illness. She

Suddenly, Justin became mature and stopped making jokes. He talked steadily and was no longer emotional. It filled Austin with worry because it made him feel like Justin was an emotionless robot.In comparison, he liked Justin's previous self better. At that time, Justin was simple and sentimental. He was the grandson Austin doted on the most.Sophia grinned and commented, "Dad, you don't have to worry about Justin. Men will change. Previously, he was just a childish kid even though he was in his twenties. He didn't know how to see through people's pretense. But he's all grown up now. He knows what's right or wrong. That's a great thing!" As a mother, she naturally did not want her son to get hurt. Although she favored Renee and wanted the latter to be her daughter-in-law, she would give up since Renee had let her son down and harmed him. All she wanted was to see Renee get away from her son."Yes, you're right. People need to grow up. He has grown up a lot lately, but the price

After a while, a servant quickly came back with a bottle of wine tied with a piece of red cloth. "Sir, Madam, this bottle of white wine was brewed more than ten years ago. It comes with a rich taste and is strong. I'm sure it's suitable for Ms. Everheart to toast to everyone as a form of apology.""That's good. That's what I want." Rose accepted the heavy bottle of wine. Although it was yet to be unscrewed, she could smell its pungent scent. "I won't easily let anyone drink this. Plus… Believe it or not, a glass of this wine can knock out anyone here." Rose carried the bottle of wine and walked around the table. Finally, she stopped in front of Renee. "I'm letting a sinner like you enjoy such a great thing today. You must drink all of it. You can't waste it.""Huh? Does she have to drink it all? I'm afraid she'll vomit from drinking.""People will lose themselves with only three to five glasses of this wine. If they drink half of it, they might get alcohol poisoning no matter

If any Baldwin demanded an explanation from Renee, she would not resent them."Fine, I won't go easy on you since you said so." Rose laughed recklessly, looking malicious. Everyone knew Rose was fierce and malicious. But none of them said anything, including Justin. They behaved like onlookers and wanted to see how Rose would punish Renee. "Please go ahead." Renee nodded and sounded very calm. "Don't worry. Regardless, you were the only woman my dear grandnephew had loved and wanted to marry. So, I won't be harsh on you. If not, he won't forgive me." At that point, Rose purposely paused and wanted to see how Justin would react.However, Justin merely sat there indifferently and had no intention to get Renee out of the predicament. Hence, Rose became bolder. "Well, let's do this. You've wronged not only Justin but everyone in my family. Since you're here to apologize, you should toast to all of us. Then, we can forget about this."After that, Rose turned to Austin and asked

The party started officially at night. It was a small party, and only some close relatives of the Baldwin family attended.Austin took the main seat while his son and daughter-in-law sat in the secondary seats. Justin and the others sat accordingly.After dressing herself up, Renee attended the party in simple clothes. She looked like a young lady from a great family. Adie, Abby, and Quinton did not attend the party to avoid unnecessary disputes. Renee was the only one who attended the party. When she reached the hall, the people had already taken their seats. They sized her up maliciously and studied her as if they wanted to make her pay a heavy price."Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I got here late." Renee took a deep breath and naturally greeted everyone. She appeared composed, but she knew she was rather frightened. She never panicked when she faced such a scene alone in the past. She could easily handle it because Justin would always take her side no matter what happened.

Quinton was fine even if Renee wasn't that happy. But she must lead a steady life and live beyond a hundred years old. "Quinton, I know I owed the Baldwin family a lot, even if you didn't tell me. I won't be back if not for the sake of their kindness."Renee did not hide or lie even if Justin was around. She merely wanted Justin to hold no hope in her. "How could you be this straightforward?" Quinton had purposely brought Justin along because he wanted to bring Justin and Renee together. He felt that they could still be together since things weren't that hopeless. But the disappointing Renee ruined all possibilities easily. Kindness didn't exist between a romantic couple."It's fine." Justin looked indifferent before he snorted. "I'm glad she made things clear. It's better than being ambiguous.""I'm sorry." Renee looked at Justin. Although she had made herself clear, her guilt did not diminish. She immediately expressed her guilt and helplessness since Justin did not igno
