Semua Bab The Untouchable Ex-Wife: Bab 1251 - Bab 1260

"Xavier, you're here..." Shirley pretended to be shocked and then glanced at Leia. "I don't know why Miss Osborne is so angry. I greeted her politely, but she just started insulting me... But it's fine. As a public figure, I can't make everyone like me."Leia rolled her eyes exaggeratedly and mocked, "Yeah, obviously you're the most innocent person here. I was the unreasonable one for targeting a star like you; I'm nothing but a narrow-minded madwoman.""Miss Osborne, don't say that. I didn't mean that..." Shirley looked at Xavier pitifully. "Xavier, you've been with me for years, so you know me best… Am I a troublemaker?"Xavier glanced at her coldly and said, "If you had acted this well in your movies, we would have profited ages ago.""Xavier, you…" Shirley's face turned livid and she quickly lowered her head, gritting her teeth in anger. Xavier always praised and adored her, so she never expected that he would embarrass her in front of another woman. She could not accept it!"

"Cruel?" Xavier sneered and glared at Shirley. "Letting you live after everything you've done is already generous!" Shirley's eyes instantly turned watery, and she grabbed his arm and sobbed. "I know that you're still mad at me because of the affair, and that's why you're behaving like this, but don't you still love me? Give me another chance, we can start over!""No way." Xavier brushed her hand off in disgust. "My intentions back then were sincere, and I really did want to spend the rest of my life with you, but you disappointed me. You're devious and greedy, and I hate that kind of person the most. The only thing I feel for you now is disdain, and if you leave now, maybe I won't think so badly of you." Shirley collapsed on the floor in despair and helplessness. "I didn't do that because I was greedy... I just hoped I could be the perfect match for you. I didn't know things would turn out that way. Your father and I...""Shut up!" Xavier interrupted her and clenched his fists.

Leia's words infuriated Xavier, and he growled at her, "Really? Is that what you think?""As if you didn't say the same about me!" Leia protested."We've been a couple for a while now, so don't you know how I feel about you? Are you just going to believe whatever people say when they try to sow discord between us?" Xavier's words were sharp. He felt that his relationship with Leia was different from what he had with Shirley. He and Leia were soul mates who loved each other; their love was simple and fervent, and couldn't be shaken by others… But now, Shirley had so easily created a rift between them.Maybe the relationship wasn't as deep as he thought… Maybe he was just a nobody to Leia. Though he was hoping for reassurance, Leia's next words disappointed him even more. "Yeah, I think Shirley is more rational than me. She was right, you know—you did sacrifice everything for her. She was your first love that you adored greatly, and I... Well, I'm just another one of your flings. Th

Renee saw a dark red jelly-like thing in the box that resembled a mushroom. Although Renee didn't know what it was, she couldn't tear her gaze away from it."That item is an ancient mushroom. Generally, it's very rare to find a thousand-year-old mushroom, and even if you do, most of them are white. But this is a ten-thousand-year-old mushroom, so it's dark red. It's said to be able to bring people back to life, so many noble families around the world would pay any price to get it to live longer. I didn't expect it to be here in Carmine Pawnshop though... Well, it's certainly the most valuable treasure in this shop," Haze elaborated enthusiastically. He liked studying codes and reading books about treasures, so he was happy he managed to see such a rare item today."Wow, Quinton, you're pretty generous. You spent a fortune because of your sister. I'm afraid all men will come in pursuit of Phoenix if you announce this as her dowry... I must get her for this mushroom alone!" Haze said j

Naturally, Quinton couldn't refuse after Renee mentioned Adie and Abby. "Well… just do whatever you want then," he said awkwardly.Renee's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Quinton, do you mean it?""Of course. I just don't want you, Abie, and Addy to leave. I love the kids very much, and I don't want them to be afraid of me, so… I'll give in, even if it hurts my pride." Although he sounded pitiful, his face was full of happiness. To him, the children represented hope and a new beginning. He considered Adie and Abby his descendants, so he was willing to sacrifice anything for them; a minor face recovery surgery was nothing."Great! Don't worry, Quinton, I know you'll lead an exciting new life after the surgery," Renee said as she quickly took the business card out and called the doctor. "We'd better not waste time. I'll set the surgery for tomorrow to make sure nothing goes wrong. What do you think?""Whatever." Quinton waved his hand dismissively. He didn't bother protesting
