Stefan shrugged, glad that someone else was here to suffer through this too.Xavier and Leia were both dramatic people, and because they hadn't gone through many difficulties like Stefan and Renee, they hadn't realized how meaningful and precious a relationship could be. However, even though they could be childish sometimes and quarrelled often, it was obvious that they still cared deeply for each other.Owen sighed in exasperation, unable to tolerate such drama. He waved and said, "That's enough, you two, we don't have much time. Let's stay focused, okay?" Xavier and Leia immediately turned to glare at Owen. "You were the one who brought it up!" Owen had brought up Shirley for no reason, unknowingly adding fuel to the fire."No, I think this woman might be the answer to our problem," Owen said seriously.Stefan turned to Owen and asked sternly, "What do you mean?" He had initially assumed that Owen had wanted to gossip about Shirley, but Owen wasn't the type to create drama, so
It was clear that Stefan didn't want to bring it up.He fell out with Xavier because of Renee back then, but he couldn't blame Xavier for fancying such a thought because Stefan was different back then. He refused to admit that he cared about Renee. Xavier had felt sorry for Renee for having to suffer so much by being with Stefan, so he had challenged Stefan to a fair competition. The incident had been put aside and forgotten ages ago, and neither Stefan nor Xavier ever mentioned it. It was almost as if it had never happened."But it's not the time to talk about love affairs now..."Owen continued seriously, "Even after all this searching, there's no one who resembles Ms. Everheart more than Shirley, so... maybe her eyes will suit Ms. Everheart best.""What?" Xavier yelped, looking at Owen as if he was crazy. "Shouldn't we look at the compatibility first? Aren't the requirements very strict? How can you come to such a conclusion just because they look alike? Isn't that too rash?" "N
"Me?" Xavier looked at Leia and snorted. "I'm not that powerful. How can I decide what others do with their body parts? Even if I could, I wouldn't do such a cruel thing." "I'll do it even if you don't," Stefan said coldly from behind Xavier, his gaze steely. "If her eyes are a match, I don't mind being the villain and taking them." He was never an upright man, but at least he wasn't wicked. However, he was willing to do anything to help Renee regain her eyesight. "No, Stefan!" Xavier was shocked. Agitated, Xavier said to Stefan, "The whole point of this is to find a willing donor. If Shirley doesn't want to give up her eyes, you can't force her.""Why not?" Stefan's eyes were wild. "I'll give her whatever she wants to make her say yes. If she still refuses… then I'll have to use force." "You're breaking the law! It's illegal to sell organs. Do you have any idea what the consequences would be?" Xavier had always treated Stefan with respect, but right now, he was on the verge of
Xavier ran out of the manor when he realized something was wrong.Meanwhile, Leia had used her connections to find Shirley's location. Shirley had booked the top private room of a club and invited some of her loyal fans to a small gathering. Many celebrities held such meetings with their fans privately to ensure their fans' loyalty and to get closer to their fans, and Shirley was the most active in holding such gatherings because she didn't have a lot of fans. However, despite their small numbers, Shirley's fans were very loyal to her. They tried their best to make her look good, spent a lot of money on her, and condemned her competitors online. Many celebrities tried their best to not fall out with Shirley, because if her fans found out, they would go all out to slander and criticize them. Although Leia was not a celebrity and had only joined a few episodes of a variety show, because of her relationship with Xavier, Shirley's fans condemned her terribly. Leia didn't even dare to go
Shirley's fans were amazed by the lady's story. "Homewreckers are immoral and shameless, so we don't have to be polite to them. If I see her again, I'm going to shave all her hair off!" The fan declared angrily.It was a pitiful thing to be cheated on, and Shirley's story gained her a lot of support from her fans. "Yeah, Shirley is too gentle. If that woman didn't meddle in her relationship, Shirley might be married to Mr. Stuart now. She'd be more successful too! Leia wouldn't even have anything..." The fans swiftly blamed Leia for Shirley's misfortune. "Yeah, Shirley was the one who was betrayed, but that homewrecker bullied her instead. I can't take this. I won't let her go if I have the chance!" One fan declared, and the others quickly agreed. They were one step away from going to Leia and teaching her a lesson.Shirley smiled in satisfaction when she saw that. She turned to her assistant nearby and said smugly, "See that? All my fans are waiting to see her. Let her in." Her
"Nonsense! Ms. White is having a fan meeting. You're not a celebrity yourself, so of course you don't know how much fans like their idols. They're clearly all having a good time," Shirley's assistant said smugly. Although Shirley didn't have many fans, her fans' loyalty was top-notch. Besides, celebrities had to rely on their loyal fans' support because popularity was not enough."I don't know about the other fans, but I know how wild Shirley's fans are. How could I not…" Leia looked up at the private room and figured there must be quite a lot of Shirley's fans inside. As the so-called wicked woman who had snatched away their idol's man, she would be courting death if she barged in impulsively. Finally, she realized why Shirley had suddenly agreed to meet her even though they were enemies. Shirley was waiting for Leia to enter her trap. The smart thing to do would be to turn around and leave, but the situation was urgent. She had to take the risk and bite the bullet. After taking a de
Leia rolled her eyes as if she was talking to a stupid person. "You need to get something straight, okay? I'm fearless, so I don't need protection. Plus, I wouldn't have come in if I thought I was in danger. I'm here to sincerely negotiate with you." Shirley met her agent's eyes cautiously and said, "Fine. Let's talk in the inner room." She waved at her fans and smiled at them. "Go ahead and enjoy yourselves. I'll settle this and come out right away."Shirley's fans immediately stopped her, looking concerned. "No, this woman is cunning. You'll be bullied if you go with her.""You don't have to be polite with such a shameless woman. We'll make her get down on her knees and say sorry to you first!"Shirley's agent tried to mediate the situation. "Calm down, Shirley will be fine. Just let them talk privately. We can always get revenge for her if anything happens." The fans let it go since it made sense.The private room was big, with a small inner room of around eight or night squ
"How dare you!" Shirley did not expect Leia to stay unaffected, and abruptly stood up to slap her. Leia grabbed Shirley's wrist and said coldly, "Do you know what kind of relationship causes the most regret? The kind you had with Xavier. Did he love you? Yes, he loved you so much that he doted on you without any boundaries. He helped you get your glory, but then he had a change of heart. You must be grieving because of it, right?""You…! What is it you want? I knew you were here to make fun of me. I even thought that you had some kind of bargaining chip..." Shirley cursed angrily and tried to struggle free. Her face twisted as she threatened, "If I scream, my fans will enter the room. Then, they'll drag you out and teach you a hard lesson.""Yes, I'm aware of that. After all, fans always take after their idols!" Leia let go of Shirley's hand and continued aloofly, "Don't worry, I didn't have to come here to argue with you. I'm just here to confirm whether you still love Xavier and
