"Damn, enemies really are destined to meet!" Leia groaned when she realized Xavier and her had both picked red balls. Just when she wanted to get away from Xavier, destiny decided to mess with her. If this had been one of his schemes, she would have refused, but it genuinely was a random result. She would only look pretentious and spoiled if she made a fuss, so she resigned herself to silent fuming. "Well, fate has spoken! You can't say no." Smiling victoriously, Xavier tapped Leia's ball with his. "Hello, my boat partner." "Watch it, or I might just kick you off the boat when we're in the middle of the sea," Leia growled under her breath."It's okay, I can catch up to you even if you do. You may not know it but I was once the champion of freestyle swimming," Xavier boasted, completely unbothered by Leia's aloofness. He firmly believed that the law of the jungle was the truth, and would do everything in his power to win. To him, his love for Leia was more important than his dignit
"Mmph!" Leia was caught off guard by Xavier's sudden kiss. She tried to push him away, but he just held her and kissed her more passionately. Since it was a live show, everyone tuned in to it was now watching them kiss. The netizens went wild, pushing the show's popularity to the max.[Ah! What am I watching? Is everyone seeing this too?][Yeah, they're actually kissing! It's a real-life example of an overbearing president falling in love with a woman. It's so dreamy...][No wonder I heard that Universal Entertainment is going to promote someone else—their boss has had a change of heart!][Does that mean that Leia is a homewrecker? How could they cast a homewrecker in a dating show? It's outrageous!][No, she's not. Obviously, Mr. Stuart has given up on trying to please that pretentious woman...][Hey, who are you referring to? Did Miss White offend you? Please don't slander her!]Endless comments popped up, and the netizens took different sides. Some of them supported Xavier
At that moment, Shirley was staring at the screen fiercely, full of hatred and envy. "How dare you steal my Xavier from me, Leia? Just wait and see... I'll make you realize just how harsh the entertainment industry can be!" Taking a deep breath, Shirley called Henry Zimmerman, the boss of an online marketing company. Henry had hundreds of social media outlets and was good at controlling the public opinion."It's been a while, Miss White. Why are you calling today?" The man answered the call, sounding surprised."Mr. Zimmerman, I've found a way to make money, and I thought you might want to know about it...""What? Tell me now, I need that cash!" His voice was filled with urgency."Do you know Leia Osborne? I'll ensure you lead a worry-free life as long as you ruin her reputation." There was a low chuckle on the other end of the line. "Sure, I'll get to it now. My company is great at ruining reputations and creating social death, so just wait for my good news!" After ending the
Leia ran faster than everyone else, and managed to pick the best house there.Xavier, on the other hand, was left with the last house because he was slow. It was a very small cottage without a roof, and his jaw dropped when he saw it. Being used to a life of luxury, he immediately turned to the crew and protested, "How can I stay here? I want a different house!""I'm sorry, Mr. Stuart, it's the rules. The guests have to compete for the houses, and the person with the most points wins the right to change their house," Billy explained to Xavier patiently. Although Xavier was the president of Universal Entertainment, he still had to obey the rules of the show. If not, the audience would make a fuss."I can change my house…" Xavier rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then asked, "How do I get more points?" "It's very simple—you just need to do more farm work. We have farmers on the island, so you can earn points by feeding the farm animals, helping them give birth, or even by cleaning up th
If Megan knew that she had to compete with the others for their houses, she wouldn't have taken her time speaking to Skylar as they got off the boat earlier."It's what Mr. Jiminez usually does. I've been watching his reality shows, and I know that he loves to torture the guests with these tricks. I can't believe I'm seeing it in person now!" "Ah, you're so lucky. You kissed Mr. Stuart on the boat, and now you have a beautiful house. You're practically the winner, aren't you?" Megan was full of jealousy."How... How did you know? Xavier and I..." Leia's cheeks turned red and she immediately looked away."Do you forget that it's a live show? Plus, news spread fast. Some netizens have already cut and edited the video of your kiss, and now it's the most trending topic on the Internet," Megan said with a cheeky grin."Ah! I'm doomed," Leia wailed miserably, wondering if Santiago had seen the video too. Xavier must have done it on purpose, the wicked man!At that moment, Leia saw San
"Dream on!" Leia scoffed as she pushed Xavier away, "You're shamelessness is just getting worse! You can't stay in my house, so get out!" She knew how reckless and impulsive Xavier could be, so she wanted to keep her distance from him. If he kissed her again, she wouldn't be able to handle it. She wasn't going to let him get away with his cunning schemes. Grinning, Xavier said, "Remember what you said, okay? Don't come crying and begging me later." The other guests watched Leia and Xavier excitedly and teased them."Wow, this is totally a 'dominant president falls in love' romance. Miss Osborne, stop running away and just accept him!" "I think we should rename our show to something like 'She Can't Escape'...""Mr. Stuart, you'd better stay here. After all, you guys are partners, so it doesn't matter where you stay!"Leia sighed exasperatedly and massaged her aching temples. "Stop encouraging him. This guy is a ticking time bomb, and he just might come after you all too. Anyw
Xavier had been targeting the farrowing task because he would earn 1000 points if he completed it. Once he got those points, he would be able to pick any house he wanted from the six houses tomorrow. He would then exchange his cottage with Leia's villa, and she wouldn't be so smug then.Xavier soon arrived at Jayden's house at the edge of the village. Jayden was quite poor, so the village had given him that place to stay. He was relying mostly on the country's financial support to keep him going, and he had also been given five pigs to earn his living. He worked hard and took great care of his pigs, and now it was finally the time to deliver their babies. Unfortunately, because of his lack of education, he had no idea how to help with the farrowing. Coincidentally, the crew of The Choice of Love happened to come to the island for the show, and when Adam saw those heavily pregnant pigs, he smacked his thigh happily. "Well, isn't this swell! I'll make the guests help with the farrowin
However, this pig wasn't easy to deal with. It squealed and kicked at Xavier, and it was covered in mud, pig food, and pig manure. Xavier tried to suppress his disgust as he approached the pig, but he couldn't even get close."Mister, do something. My pig can't hold on for much longer..." Jayden urged Xavier at the door of the pigsty, starting to get frustrated. "Can you do it? If not, let someone else do it instead!" "Calm down. I... I can do it!" Holding his breath, Xavier braced himself and approached the pig again. He knew he could do anything he wanted, and this was just a simple task. He took a deep breath, then fished out his phone to look up the necessary steps and precautions.Firstly, he had to wash the pig's body with potassium permanganate before laying it on the delivery bed to prevent infections after the delivery. Secondly, he had to get a pair of scissors to cut off the umbilical cord for the delivery. Thirdly, he had to get some old clothes and towels to help wipe
