Chapter 1608

Author: Mizuki Sei
Shirley raised her head and locked eyes with Xavier, her gaze soft. "So... You've been worried about me all this time. You still care about me, don't you?"

"I just think it's better for you if you further your studies now." Xavier's expression was icy, with no emotion on his face whatsoever. In his mind, Shirley was a part of his past he couldn't get rid of. He has sacrificed a lot for her, and it might have been out of habit or pity that he didn't want his former girlfriend to have her eyes gouged out. Shirley was someone he used to love, and Stefan was his childhood friend—he would hate for either of those relationships to be ruined. It was best to make Shirley leave Beach City and lay low in a place where Stefan couldn't find her.

"I'll go if you think I should leave Beach City." Shirley was not as averse towards the option now, and for the first time, agreed with Xavier about it. She could foresee that Leia would do anything to get revenge on her after tonight, and Xavier might n

    Xavier looked down at Shirley's hand and said icily, "I thought I made myself very clear. It's best not to have anything between us except business." "Why are you being so cruel? You came to me today, and it's proof that there's more between us. You care about me, so why do we have to go against our hearts and hurt each other?""That's you, not me.""Don't be stubborn. I know that you hooked up with Ms. Osborne lately out of spite, but you should know that I no longer have anything to do with your father. I—""Don't bring my father up!" Xavier instantly turned hostile and pushed Shirley away. "Are you mad? Do you think I'll let bygones be bygones and go back to you? Do you think I have no self-respect?""Xavier, don't... don't be mad!" Shirley bit her lip, regretting mentioning Xavier's father. It was his sore spot and biggest humiliation, and she could understand why. She figured he wouldn't be bothered by it if he didn't love her deeply, and his reaction only confirmed this. Em

    The number of the onlookers grew, and some of them even used their phones to do live streams. In this way, Shirley's career was ruined.In a dilemma, Xavier took off his coat and draped it over Shirley. After that, he forcefully pulled her to her feet and hissed, "I don't care if you want to retire or not, just get up first.""Xavier, you like me. I can see that. You've always been in love with me..." Shirley hid under his coat, affection shining in her eyes and her voice trembling. It seemed like women had to be shameless when facing a soft-hearted man like Xavier. He could not bear to push her away, making this the most intimate moment between them after they had fallen out with each other. Many people took photos of him doting on her like what he used to do in the past, and the so-called homewrecker seemed like nothing now. "Stop making a scene. Let's get out of here." Xavier refused to talk much, and just hugged her shoulders and held her hand. He brushed past the crowd, wantin

    Xavier refused to even look at the homewrecker, and went to the parking lot to get his car. Before he could open his car, he heard people talking."Hey, isn't that Ms. Leia Osborne?""Those people are too cruel. She's a rich young lady, but they stripped her bare. Are they courting death?""You're right. But they're smart. Since they're in a group, they won't be punished much.""But I don't think they're cruel. After all, nobody asked Ms. Osborne to be a homewrecker. I hate homewreckers the most!"Xavier' heart pounded in his chest and he grabbed a man nearby by the collar and demanded, "Who's the homewrecker who's being beaten up?"The man said agitatedly, "What does it have to do with you? Are you out of your mind?""I'm asking you—who is it?" Xavier was usually a calm person, but he couldn't stay calm right now. His grip on the man's collar tightened. "It's Ms. Leia Osborne! Why didn't you go and see it for yourself since you're so curious—" Xavier pushed him aside quickly,

    Heart aching, Xavier carried Leia and quickly walked to his car. He opened the door to the back seat and gently laid her there."Are you feeling cold? Just hold on, alright… You'll be okay soon." Xavier got into the car and turned on the heater, and the car slowly grew warm. Xavier glanced at Leia hopefully but she remained silent as she curled up in the backseat. Xavier reached out and touched her cut hair, and his eyes blazed with anger. "They're inhuman! I'll never let them off the hook!""Don't touch me!" Leia snapped suddenly and pushed Xavier's hand away, covering her head protectively. Her eyes were wild and filled with tears as she spat, "You're just like them! Don't touch me.""I'm sorry I was late. You've suffered so much..." Xavier said hoarsely. He shouldn't have been so careless. Leia was probably being abused when he bumped into Shirley at the door of the club. No wonder Shirley had urged him to leave—she probably knew what was happening. How despicable! Xavier never w

    Leia pushed Xavier away and tried to open the door. "Cut the crap! I'm not discussing this with you, I'm telling you what I'm going to do.""Lei, calm down. You're seriously injured. Let me take you to the hospital." Xavier didn't want to waste time. He immediately got into the driver's seat and locked the doors, then drove to a nearby hospital."I don't want to go to the hospital! Open the door and let me out. Open the door now!" Leia demanded as she smacked the window and door. Those people had beaten her up badly, so she wanted to go to the police station first. "Open the door!" Leia was so agitated that she almost leaped to the front seat and took control of the steering wheel. She glared at Xavier and sneered, "I know you're eager to take me to the hospital because you're worried that I'll report this to the cops, and you don't want to implicate your first love. Xavier, you're the most disgusting man I've ever met… I hate you!" Leia's heart twisted painfully in her chest when

    Xavier's words calmed Leia down."You're willing to let her do a test?" Leia looked at Xavier in disbelief, then scoffed, "Well, powder me in sugar and call me a donut. Are you really Xavier? You agreed to let her do the test.""If I don't, you and Stefan will use other methods to make her do it. It's better that she do it willingly instead of making a scene," Xavier explained as he drove."Well, at least you're sensible." Leia leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes, thinking about when Shirley's fans beat her up. Truthfully, she had her own selfish motives—she hadn't resisted at all so she would look worse, and she hoped that would give her the upper hand when bargaining with Shirley. Besides, if her injuries were bad, Xavier might side with her. Now, it seemed like her plan had worked. They arrived at the hospital very quickly. When Leia's attending doctor and nurse saw Leia's condition, they stared at Xavier suspiciously."Don't be scared, Miss. Tell me—how did you ge

    Xavier glanced at Leia, who was hiding behind the doctor, and said to her grumpily, "Don't you think you should explain this? They're labelling me an abuser!""Hey, how dare you threaten your wife? You'll be in trouble if you keep this up!" The doctor pointed at Xavier and said threateningly, "I'll call the cops to arrest you if you raise your voice at her again. You'll end up in jail after your wife's checkup!"When Leia heard that, she immediately burst into tears. "Doctor, I can't believe I married such a violent man. He beat me up and humiliated me without any remorse. Do inspect my injuries properly, so I can divorce him once I get the report!" "It's okay, Miss. I've met many people like you, so I know what to do. You must divorce him—only then can you leave this abyss. We must never be with such violent men. I'll get you a report now!" After that, the doctor led Leia to an examination room to inspect her injuries. Leia's injuries were bad—her back, legs, and face were full

    At that moment, Leia came out because the nurse had finished treating her wounds. "It's okay, doctor." She dramatically wiped her tears and sobbed. "I don't want to blow this out of proportion. It's fine as long as he sincerely apologizes… This is just my fate." "What's the use of the law if saying sorry was enough? He's so violent, Miss… he could have killed you! You can't be soft-hearted towards him." The doctor urged Leia earnestly, "I've seen many cases like this. The wives kept forgiving their husbands, and the price they had to pay was their husbands beating them to death. You're lucky that you survived today, but it doesn't mean that you'll always be this lucky. Listen to me—you have to call the cops." "I'll call the cops. Didn't you give me a medical report? I'll call the cops if I can't reason with him," Leia said and glanced at Xavier meaningfully. If that report could help escalate the case to attempted murder, Shirley would be involved if Leia called the police. Not onl

    "I don't know how to tell you. I'm sure you can understand." Renee could not bring herself to say more because it was a humiliating privacy. She might as well keep it to herself."Let me guess…" Justin's gaze grew sharp as he went straight to the point. "The man in your story is Stefan, isn't it?" Silence washed over Renee as she kept her head bowed. It was a silent approval.Justin burst into reckless laughter, which was scary. He looked down at his cut wound and laughed pathetically. "This is why he could make you fall in love with him, and I couldn't. I'm too cultured compared to him.""Don't say that, Haze!"Seeing how defeated Justin was, Renee became uneasy. "It isn't written in the stars for us. Plus, I've fallen in love with Stefan a long time ago before I even got to know you. I also rely on him physically and psychologically. I can't control my feelings. It's not something we can change. We…" "Stop!" Heartbroken, Justin pushed away everything in front of him and s

    Time passed by. Gradually, the pain knocked some sense into Justin. He no longer wanted to take advantage of Renee."Let me get you some water." Renee had no idea what she could do for Justin. After some contemplation, she got to her feet and poured him a glass of water.Finally, she studied the room closely and found that it was a wedding room as Justin had mentioned. Everything was set up according to her preferences, which she had occasionally mentioned to Justin. For example, she loved keeping some ceramic ornaments on the bedside cabinet and hanging some seashell wind chimes at the windows. The entire room was painted in beige and green, which were her favorites, too. Beige gave a sense of warmth, while green gave a sense of gloominess. All of those details became the perfect wedding room for Renee.If everything went on smoothly, she would spend most of her time there, and he would be her life companion. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world.Renee handed the gla

    Renee covered her lips, her tone filled with disbelief. "I…cut myself." Justin leaned against the corner and frowned deeply. He was in deep pain."Why did you cut yourself?" Renee was scared out of her wits and grew more sober. In her panic, she threw herself at him and tried to stop his bleeding.Justin reacted aggressively as he waved his dagger and warned fiercely, "Get away from me! Don't touch me!" "I…" Renee paused, too afraid to act recklessly. She pointed at his wound and said, "I'm just worried about you. You're bleeding. It must hurt a lot. Why did you hurt yourself?" "It's better to be in pain!" Justin gnashed his teeth and said in agony, "The pain will knock some sense into me, so I won't act like an animal and lose control of myself.""I see…" Stunned, Renee was moved to tears. She understood why he cut himself. Surprisingly, he wanted to stay sober and not be controlled by the drug in the wine.He could have used her to satisfy his desire, and she would never b

    "You're playing with fire!" Justin leaned close to Renee's ears and said fiercely, "What do you think there is in the wine? Maybe I'm not someone who will take liberty on women, but I can't promise that the wine won't make me so." "So, you're saying that the wine…" Suddenly, Renee realized the wine was not as simple as she thought. She also understood why Rose had behaved in such a mysterious manner. "Stay…away from me!" Suddenly, she became frightened and wanted to keep some distance from Justin. She knew that people could not be trusted completely, especially under the effects of chemical reactions. Things would certainly get out of control. Justin probably did not want to do anything to her, but both of them would lose their minds under the effect of the wine and do something that would fill them with regret. The only way to prevent such an incident was to avoid each other."You want to stay away from me, but it's too late now. I'm no saint. I'm just a normal guy!"Just

    "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
