Chapter 870

Author: Mizuki Sei
"Let her jump if she likes. It's none of my business!"

Xavier said, expressionless, and pulled the blanket with his long arms to wrap himself tightly like a dumpling.

"But-but Ms. Shirley can't swim, and neither can I!"

Dylan was sweating anxiously outside. "Oh no, Ms. Shirley is drowning… Help! Help! Is there a lifeguard around?"

The floating hotel was actually a cluster of wooden villas, so the sound insulation was not ideal.

Shirley's action made so much noise that the staff members and the guests were attracted to the scene, causing a commotion outside Xavier's room.

"Damn it!"

Xavier could no longer sleep peacefully, or… Whether it was noisy outside or not, his mind was in turmoil from the moment Shirley found him, so how could he possibly sleep?

The man grabbed a pair of beach pants and slipped them on, further highlighting his tight muscles and lanky model-like body. His messy hair somewhat enhanced his inherent charm, making him not only devilishly handsome but even a

    With reddened eyes, Shirley hugged Xavier's long legs and said with a shaking voice, "I know I made an unforgivable mistake this time, but can you at least listen to my explanation? That night I…""You don't have to explain yourself!"Xavier turned his back to the woman and said in an eerily cold voice, "There is nothing to say about me and you. You know best how I have treated you for so many years. I have nothing to feel guilty about.""Of course, I do. You are the nicest person to me, and also the only one. You only wanted to be good to me and never asked for anything in return. Because of this, I feel miserable. I hurt you, so I want to make up…""If you want to make up for it, get lost from my world. I don't want to see you anymore!"Xavier tensed his face and tried to harden his heart.He tried to break away from Shirley's restraints, but she held on desperately and refused to let go. With her face firmly planted against the man's leg, she cried, "I was wrong, I was really

    "Huh?"Xavier looked at the pretty lady leaning on him with a dismayed face, feeling complicated. Not only he was confused, he even felt like laughing.'What relationship?'If he remembered correctly, the last time they met was at a banquet; they nearly got into a fight over the question of whether Stefan and Renee should reconcile. The scratch on his arm had just started forming a scab.If that was the 'relationship' she was talking about, it would certainly be unusual!"Don't just stand here, darling. Say something, don't make me look like a third wheel…"Leia acted as if she was a bystander. She exaggerated her actions and pinched the man's arm quietly.Her first thought was… 'Wow, this guy's muscles feel really hard!'Shirley's eyes got even redder, and they were now filled with glistening tears. She bit her lip and, devoid of expression, said, "Yeah, say something, Xavier. I can accept whatever your relationship with her is. Just don't… don't make me look like the third wh

    Shirley looked tender and lovable like a tiny white bunny, but the curves that lined her slender figure were extremely alluring. She was the woman that men would desire most. Her face especially resembled Renee's, which was the reason he fell for her at first glance. Perhaps this was what love at first sight meant. And because of that, he loved her submissively for four years…As for Leia, she was not unlike a fox, blessed with a pair of bright and enchanting eyes. Her skin wasn't nearly as fair as Shirley's, but it had a glowing tan that denoted its flawless condition. She exuded an elusive wildness as if she was the wind in the air that nothing could trap.Contrastively, Leia's personality was very similar to Renee's. She was straightforward, cheerful, and impartial. Her mind was also filled with brilliant ideas, in complete contrast to the usual superficial girl that craved attention.In terms of who moved his heart more, it was certainly Shirley. But given the chance, he would

    Leia reacted as if she had seen a ghost and shunned a good distance from Xavier the moment they were in the room.She listened to Shirley's wail in disbelief."Xavier, you scum. Are you going to let her be like this? You are the infamous simp of Beach City… ahem, I mean the most loyal man. Why have you suddenly become so cold-blooded and heartless?"Xavier crossed his legs and leaned against the door casually. He nocked his chin up a little and stared at the woman nonchalantly. "Didn't I just make it very clear that you are my true love? Desolating my true love for the sake of an unworthy old flame is simply not worth it!""Bleurgh!"Leia pretended to puke and punched the man. "You'd better stop," she growled. "I've just had breakfast. Don't make me puke and waste food!"'Haha! How hilarious. If I am Xavier's true love, the Sun will rise from the west."As the descendants of the Great Eight of Beach City, they had known each other since they were young. Though they had little in

    Leia frowned in confusion. "Doesn't she have her heart set on you now? As the top star, she disregarded her public image and cried so miserably outside just to win your heart back. What else do you want from her?"Xavier remained silent, a deep melancholy still permeating his eyes."So, I would say that it's not that sincerity is worthless, but it was you who wasn't sincere. You are just unwilling to accept that you got no love in return. Now you've gotten it; you start to act cocky again…""What do you know?"Like a bear that was being poked, Xavier lost all of his calm. His eyes turned cold, and he pushed Leia onto the big bed, sneering. "You're an idiot in love and have no experience at all. Do you know what love is? Aren't you a little too presumptuous to talk about it when you have never experienced it?""Who-who told you that I have no experience? I have lots, I…"Leia looked into the man's beautiful eyes, and her heart started to race inexplicably, and she stammered involu

    The atmosphere was very ambiguous. The two of them were about to kiss each other. Suddenly, Leia seemed to have regained her wits. She abruptly raised her legs to kick Xavier off the bed. After that, she leaped and stood up. "All men are scumbags. What's more, you're that scumbag Stefan's buddy. Birds of a feather flock together. You'll only be worse than him!" However, Xavier seemed completely unperturbed. Half sitting on the carpet, he propped his arms up and revealed a carefree smile. "I'm glad to see you have such an awareness. Keep this in mind. Don't ever tread the path of love. This thing is devastating. One can only lead an easy life without love." They bade each other goodbye before they took their respective flights to fly to Sun Island, which was near Quartz Island. They did not know that their destination was the same. They boarded the plane to the edge of Sun Island before they got a private speedboat to go to the island. The speedboat heading to Sun Island o

    "You're very smart. Money does indeed resolve a lot of conflicts..." Xavier was wearing a floral shirt, beach pants, and a pair of flip-flops. Although he had dressed humbly, he appeared very natural and casual, especially with the innate aura of a wealthy heir that he exuded. So, he appeared very noble and elegant. He did not at all look like a poor man. At a glance, he saw Leia, who was sitting on a high chair, and unconsciously broke into a charming smile. "Naughty kitty, we meet again. If nothing happens between us, given our destiny, I'm afraid we'll disappoint God." Leia glanced at him and said angrily, "Xavier, don't you have anything else to do? Why did you stalk me instead of coaxing Shirley?" "I didn't stalk you." "Stop lying. If you didn't stalk me, how would you know this dock and book this speedboat..." Leia sighed, "I know I made a big joke today and sewed discord between you and Shirley. When I'm free, I'll explain to her well. But please do me a favor and do

    "That's impossible!" "I'm going to my bestie's utopia," Leia stressed. "She won't expose it to others easily. How would that scumbag know? Are you trying to fool me?" Xavier remained calm and smiled with a profound meaning. "Is there a possibility that Stefan isn't an outsider to your bestie?" "If he's not her outsider, then he is her enemy. She'll never tell her enemy her last sacred place, so there must be... some kind of deception!" "As for that, why don't... you call and ask her?" Putting both of his hands in his pockets, Xavier kindly reminded her. Leia frowned. After a long hesitation, she took out her phone and exclaimed fiercely, "I'll call my bestie now and expose your cunning scheme!" Raising his brows, Xavier gestured for her to go on. "You're more than welcome to do so." Soon Renee answered the phone. When she learned that Leia happened to be with Xavier, she nearly screamed on the other end of the phone. Renee shouted, "Dang! There are a total of 197 coun

    Liam looked certain. "The Baldwin residence is strictly guarded. Plus, Austin owns military power. If the Hunt family wants to take Renee away, they'll have to fight the Baldwins. Things will get very hideous. But if they use a little trick, they don't have to waste any manpower to take her away. Why wouldn't they do that?""So, you're saying that Mr. and Mrs. Hunt fought against Justin's parents to purposely attract others' attention and to cover for Stefan. They wanted to give him the chance to take Ren away secretly.""That's very likely."Liam nodded. Else, he couldn't figure out why the decent Alexander and Francine would do such an indecent thing in front of so many rich and powerful people. After all, the Hunts would be ridiculed for what they had done just now if it got exposed. It was such a great price. They wouldn't have to make such a great sacrifice if not for their son's lifetime happiness."If that was true, the Hunts are just too cunning." Leia shrugged. She fou

    The spotlight shone on the entrance as everyone looked forward to the prince and princess' entrance.However, only Justin appeared like a charming prince in front of everyone in his white suit. There was no sign of his princess. Austin's initial confident smile stiffened. He flexed his fingers slightly and held himself back as he waited quietly for Justin to get onto the stage. Justin took calm steps. Smiling, he waved and greeted everyone, looking very much like a future bridegroom. When he got on the stage, Austin pulled him over. While lowering his voice, he interrogated coldly, "Why are you alone? Where is Ren?""Don't worry, Grandpa. Ren is the princess. Of course, she has to come last. We're just people who set off her charms. All we need to do is wait for her patiently."Then, Justin held the microphone and faced all the guests below the stage. He cleared his throat and said, "Please calm down, ladies and gentlemen. My future bride's gown is rather grand and needs more

    Austin was telling the truth."Of course, children will always stay with their mothers. Home is wherever their mother is. You'd better ask about Ren's opinion instead of making a scene here."Austin glanced at the gilded ancient clock above the hall, his eyes sharp."The engagement ceremony of my grandson and Ren is about to start in ten minutes. You can ask her opinion when she's here.""Really?"Francine was delightedly surprised. For the first time, she felt that Austin was not as horrible as legend had it. He was reasonable. She tried to reconfirm with him. "So, you're saying that I can ask Ren to come home with me when she's out, and you'll let her go if she says yes?" "No, you're wrong." Austin shook his head. "She came here willingly. Of course, it's not as if you need to ask me to let her go.""It's fine. That's not important as long as you remember what you said." Francine was confident and eager. She then said smugly to Austin and the others, "Wait and see! I have w

    When things became awful, an old but awe-inspiring voice came from behind them."What are you doing?" Undeniably, it was the powerful Austin who also enjoyed the highest status in North City.Instantly, the onlookers retreated and held their breaths.They knew how horrifyingly powerful Austin was because he owned military power. It would be very normal if he asked his army to shoot them to death if they fell out with him.Francine and the others, who were engaged in a fight, stopped too."Old Master Baldwin, nice to meet you."Francine nodded at Austin but didn't let go of Sophia. The scene was tense, but her actions looked amusing. "Dad, hurry up and catch these two! They're being unreasonable!"Sophia's pinned hair was messy because Francine kept scratching at it. If she wasn't mentally strong enough, she might have cried. She had imagined endless ways how the Hunt family would make a scene—except for the most primitive way. Francine made a scene like a three-year-old ki

    Francine went berserk again and gripped Sophia's neck. "I'm going to count to three! Get my grandkids here! I'm going to take them home! If not, I'll break your neck!" she yelled. She couldn't stop Renee from marrying someone else, but she couldn't tolerate her two grandchildren relying on others' charity like Renee.It wasn't only about her dignity, but more about the children's growth and mental health. She couldn't be careless."You're out of your mind! Drive them out of here!"Sophia was a decent woman who couldn't allow herself to go berserk. Although she had a glib tongue, she found herself unable to handle a figure like Francine. Francine was never too harsh and would only make a scene. But now, she was out of control and was screaming nonstop. "Talk it out with them. Don't use violence. We're parents. It's humiliating to be violent," Alexander interrupted.Alexander tried to make Francine calm down and behave herself. Even so, he didn't act accordingly and pushed Ja

    Francine's obvious provocation made others draw in a cold breath, let alone Justin's parents.No wonder she was one of the Four Princesses of Beach City. She was much too impulsive. Justin's parents looked very hideous. However, Sophia wasn't so soft. After taking a few deep breaths, she faced Francine with the same fake smile. "Don't worry. I'll take Adie and Abby back home. Since Ren is marrying Justin, my family will treat the kids as ours. We'll be their grandparents. In a few years, my son and Ren will have more kids to be their siblings. Then, we'll be one family!""What? Do you want to take the kids back home?" Fury instantly gripped Francine. She ignored all decency and demanded fiercely, "What do you want to do to my grandkids? They're still young! How could you target them?" "You must be mistaken. Ren is going to be a part of my family, so naturally, her kids are going to come with her. I'm sure there isn't anything wrong with that." Sophia snorted. "You're their bi

    Leia couldn't understand it. Both Renee and Stefan once loved each other passionately. They had soldiered through a lot of difficulties. But when everything became better, they stopped seeing each other. Such separation brought a fatal blow to her views on love. Suddenly, she found herself too timid to give up her heart. After all, it was nothing. People could break up with each other easily."No wonder Xavier refused to come. If he was here, I would have hated him because of Stefan. I'd beat the crap out of him!" Leia was furious, but she couldn't find someone to vent her anger on.The Stuart family was invited to the party too, but Xavier refused to come. He claimed that he would have betrayed Stefan if he had come to the party.However, Stefan was the greatest betrayal of his romance since he remained silent and indifferent. While Leia was still angry, everyone in the hall suddenly fell silent. They stretched their heads to look at the entrance of the hall."The Hunt famil

    "I… I don't know what you're talking about," Liam muttered guiltily, avoiding Leia's scrutinizing gaze. "You must know what I'm talking about!" Leia refused to let Liam go and went straight to the point. "Look! Because of such a bind, you probably fell in love with Amber, who isn't related to you. Why can't Ren fall in love with Justin after spending a long time with him?""So, what's your point?" Liam didn't refute Leia. He was curious about what she was trying to say. Leia reasonably explained her opinion, "I'm trying to tell you that things might not be as bad as you imagine. Even if you take Ren away and stop this ceremony, things might not be better either."She was too timid to tell Liam that she regarded Renee and Justin's marriage in a favorable light because she found them similar. Similar people could at least lead a stable life though it might not be very passionate and exciting.After leading a wandering life for such a long time, Renee needed steady happiness. It

    Liam was impressed while looking at Justin's calm expression. He had always thought that Justin was cunning and full of schemes. He was even worried that Justin might plot against Renee in the future.However, Justin was quite open and generous. He was considering things from Renee's angle. He could be Renee's haven, but if he stepped down, he could willingly grant Renee's wish to be with the one she loved. It seemed that Justin was selfless, and Liam felt that he was worse than Justin. No wonder Renee would choose to spend the rest of her life with Justin. It seemed like he was a reliable man.Justin pocketed his hands and asked casually, "Is there any other problem now?""Not at the moment." Liam frowned in defeat. Since Justin had made such a big compromise, he would seem like a fool if he was too arrogant and refused to give up. A long sigh escaped him as he let go of Renee's hand, but he was still hopeful. He boasted to Justin, "Wait and see! I'll make Stefan appear.""Go
