Chapter: 1583

They thought that the company might cut down on her resources, but unexpectedly, the company had decided to suspend Shirley. It was unacceptable!

�Just stop. This isn�t a discussion, I�m merely informing you of what will happen next.� Xavier�s blank expression told them that everything had already been decided.

�Xavier, why are you being so cruel?� Shirley finally broke her silence, clenching her fists as she asked shakily.

�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. �Don�t bring him up in front of me. You both are disgusting!�

�I�m really sorry, Xavier. I never wanted to hurt you. I�ve always loved you, you know that. Please give me not suspend me. I can take up secondary female roles or join variety shows. I can start over, I��

�Even until now, the only thing you�re worried about is yourself. Now I know for sure that I made the right decision,� Xavier scoffed with disappointment.

"Universal Entertainment isn�t doing charity and has no interest in making losses. The board of directors has made a decision, and it�s non-negotiable.�

�Fine, but don�t forget that it was you who asked for this!� Shirley realized that he had made up his mind, so there was no point in her pretending to be weak or pitiful. The only thing she could do right now was ask for help from a person more powerful than Xavier� And she most certainly could do that.

�You�re not the sole owner of Universal Entertainment, you know. If you want to suspend me and promote someone else, you have to ask for his permission." Shirley slowly stood up, the tears in her eyes now replaced with a cunning gleam.

Meanwhile, Leia was hunched over and leaning against the door of Xavier�s office, trying her best to eavesdrop on their conversation. �Damn it! What are they talking about? What happened that made Xavier fall out with his first love?�

She could only hear their conversation vaguely from this distance. It seemed that the company Shirley and promoted another celebrity because she had done something to disappoint Xavier�

�Hah! I knew there was something fishy going on. This is going to shock the whole entertainment circle!� Leia thought triumphantly, her fangirl past resurfacing as she smelled gossip. Although she had entered the elevator, she did not go downstairs. She casually went to another floor and then secretly returned to this floor. She was still Xavier�s girlfriend. Even if she wanted to ignore him, she couldn�t pretend to not care if another woman was trying to snatch him away. However, she still had pride, so she didn�t want Xavier to find out. If not, he would always bring it up in the future. At first, Leia planned to leave after getting sufficient info, but her curiosity made her linger on. As a result� Clang! The door opened suddenly, and Leia went tumbling into Xavier�s office.

Shirley was about to leave in a fit of anger with her agent and assistant, but froze when Leia crashed to the ground in front of them. Everyone was dumbstruck as they stared at her.

�Ugh, how embarrassing�" Leia mumbled, keeping her head low. She wished the ground would just open up and swallow her� Maybe she could migrate to another country tomorrow.

Knowing she couldn�t hide from them any longer, Leia looked up and smiled at them widely. �Umm� hi. What a coincidence, I just happened to be passing by!�

Shirley sized Leia up condescendingly, then scoffed, �Yeah, what a coincidence! Miss Osborne, weren�t you eavesdropping on us?�

�Of course not! Why would I do something like that? I told you I was just passing by.� Leia stood up and dusted off her clothes, stubbornly refusing to admit it.

�I thought you were a virtuous person given your noble background, but it looks like the two clearly aren�t connected. Although I grew up in an ordinary family, I never did such an immoral thing,� Shirley sneered. Xavier didn�t want anything to do with her anymore, so she wasn�t afraid of showing her true colours.

�What?! How could you say something like that? I� I wasn�t immoral. I�� Leia stammered, trying to think of something.

�Was I wrong? Can you swear you didn�t eavesdrop on us just now?� JrNovels.com
