Chapter 50

Author: Mizuki Sei
It was already late at night when Stefan and Renee finished changing their clothes.

She lay on the bed, losing all patience as she gazed at the handsome man sitting on the couch in blue pajamas.

"I only have a slight injury on my arm. You don't have to stay here and look after me all the time. You should return to your house, and we should keep our distance like before."

"You got hurt saving me, so I'm responsible for it," Stefan calmly replied as he folded the magazine he had been reading. He coldly gazed at her and asked with seriousness, "Do you need me to tuck you in bed?"

"That's not necessary!" Renee said, immediately crossing her arms and turning to the other side of the bed.

She reasoned that if he persisted in guarding her, she should leave him to his own devices since she was sleeping comfortably on the bed and not the one suffering on the sofa!

The orange light from the table lamp illuminated the room. A calm silence filled the room as time passed, and the only s

    Leia quickly wiped her tears away and said casually, "I ran into something disgusting. It stung my eyes.""Something disgusting?"Renee's expression turned serious at once. "That so-called mastermind bullied you?"Leia scoffed. "As if he could. I was the one who taught him a lesson. Anyway, it's all over now. Let's go."She didn't want things to spiral. More than that, she didn't want Renee to know that the so-called mastermind was her boyfriend. No, her ex-boyfriend."Something's off."Renee looked at the tears that had not quite dried on Leia's face, and her worries deepened. She grabbed Leia's hand, her tone firm."Tell me what really happened. You're not someone who cries easily. I can count the number of times I've seen you cry on one hand. Whoever it was must have done something awful.""It's really nothing," Leia insisted. "Do I look like someone who'd let herself be bullied? Come on, let's go."She truly didn't want Renee to know about her breakup with Xavier. First,

    "Why would you even think that?" Xavier snapped.It was a relationship that was long over. Xavier never expected it to feel like a lingering sin to Leia, something she could never move past, something dragged out again and again to be punished.In the past, he would have explained patiently. He would have tried to reassure her and give her a sense of security. But after fighting over the same thing so many times, he was exhausted. It was to the point where he didn't even feel like explaining anymore.Leia shot back, "Why wouldn't I think that? Your relationship back then was so public and romantic. It was practically ripped straight out of a novel! So many people are still rooting for you two to get back together. Isn't that exactly because you loved her so much that everyone could see it so clearly?"Leia didn't think there was anything wrong with bringing that woman up again and again.Because in her world, everyone else did it for her.No matter where she went, someone alw

    "A breakup in disguise?"The moment Xavier heard those words, he froze. A complicated look flickered in his eyes."So, in your mind, breaking up is something you can just say whenever you want? Does that mean you actually want to break up?""What?"Leia was furious. Hearing that from him felt like he was pushing all the blame on her, and it caught her off guard."You've got some nerve! You're the one sneaking around to meet other women, and now you're accusing me of wanting to break up?""I met other women because I was curious how someone managed to beat my cousin so badly that he cried his eyes out. Even if those two were men, I still would've met them," Xavier said, completely unapologetic."Classic excuse from a jerk trying to justify himself."Leia clenched her fists, glaring at him through her anger."You're the one acting on your impulses, and now you're dressing it up with some fancy excuse. If you want to break up, just say it. Stop beating around the bush. I'm not afr

    Xavier became awkward and snapped his fingers. "I ordered a bottle of good wine. Since you're here, let's enjoy a great time… Come!" While talking, he naturally hugged Leia and walked toward the private room.However, it wasn't easy to fool Leia. She was struck dumb on the spot as she looked at Xavier solemnly. "You didn't make it clear. It's not over yet. Stop trying to muddle through."If Xavier knew it was two women beating his cousin up, he should try his best to avoid suspicion. It would be fine to let his subordinates handle it.However, he did not do so. Not only did he take it upon himself, but he also booked a private room and ordered good wine. It seemed like he wanted something to happen between them. Of course, Leia would not accept that. A sigh escaped Xavier. He answered honestly, "I was just curious. You know I'm a curious guy. I hope to lead an interesting life."Those words brought a pang to Leia's heart. She smiled. "You finally said it. You're at ease now.

    The men in black were Xavier's bodyguards who had worked for him for many years. Naturally, they were puzzled by his words.However, they would not disobey. Hence, they suppressed their power and put on a show with Leia."Ah, you beat me! Let me off!""Ah, I can't! You broke my arm. You beat me!"Naturally, the men pretended to be defeated by Leia. But Leia didn't have a great time. She pointed at the men and said, "Get up. Stop pretending. You don't have to let me have my way!""No, we didn't. We just can't beat you!" the leading man said sincerely."Nonsense! You're just mocking me!"Leia was no fool. She knew about her power. Although she felt that she could defeat them, they were not weak, either. Certainly, they obeyed Xavier's order and pretended to be weak.It was a humiliation for her, so she could not accept it. She wanted to keep fighting them."Boss, help! We don't know what to do!" They looked at Xavier pitifully. They had no idea if they should fight back or not

    Leia urged Renee to go home because she was worried that the latter might dissuade her when she tried to beat up those men vigorously.Besides, she was the one who had asked Renee out for a drink that night. If she delayed Renee and caused Renee trouble, she would be sad."Where is he? I'll go with you now." Leia got into the car driven by them. The car sped fast in the night. Renee reacted a little too slowly and could only see the rear of the car."Lei! Hey, wait for me!" Renee followed and waved frantically. However, it was futile. "This girl is so reckless. How could she get into a stranger's car in the middle of the night? She didn't even consider the consequences." Renee instantly got worried.Ordinary gangsters would not be bold enough to do anything to Leia, given her status in Beach City. But if she bumped into any bold or reckless people, the consequences would be unimaginable, given Leia's bad temper. At the thought of that, Renee could not lie idle. She hurr
