Tsk! Rich people nowadays had peculiar thoughts. They were fine but pretended to be injured. Did they have nothing else better to do?

�That�s great.� Xavier heaved a sigh of relief. If Shirley was fine, Leia wouldn�t get in too much trouble.

Xavier walked into the ward and looked at Shirley who was lying in bed. �Don�t worry, it�s just a small fracture. You�re fine. You�ll recover after laying in bed for a week.�

Shirley�s eyes were teary as she patted the side of the bed. "Come near me and sit here. Why did things have to turn out like this?�

After a brief hesitation, Xavier sat beside her. Shirley was injured, so he had to show her some compassion. The most important thing was that he had to comfort her. If not, she might get angry and expose the incident, then Leia would suffer.

�Let�s not mention the past. I�m very sorry for the accident that happened today. I ll say sorry to you on behalf of Leia.�

Xavier put away his usual frivolity and said sincerely. His statement made Shirley angry, and she sneered,

�This was a conflict between Leia and me, so why are you the one saying sorry?"

�You know that she didn�t do it on purpose. Can�t you just let it go?� Xavier asked. He did not want Shirley to manipulate the affair and make things difficult for Leia.

�Let it go?� Shirley sneered. �The camera was rolling and many people were watching. Miss Osborne wanted to push me down the hill and kill me. Should I let it go just because I didn�t die? Do you think that�s fair?�

�What do you want then?�

"What can I do�� Shirley raised her head and smiled wickedly.

�I just want to expose this affair and let the public judge for themselves. If they think it�s fine. I�ll let it go. If they think it�s unforgivable, then I hold her responsible for it!�

�Is there no room for negotiation?� Xavier frowned, his voice cold. His patience was almost exhausted. Shirley looked at him, then burst into tears.

�Xavier, why are you being so aloof? You�re so cold towards me for the sake of a woman who nearly killed me. Did you forget that you were the one who guided me and brought me into this circle? You helped me get my current position. I�m the flower you raised, but you want to ruin all that now?�

�The person who ruined you is nobody but yourself. If you didn�t do that back then, I wouldn�t be so disappointed in you now,� Xavier said angrily.

When Shirley saw Xavier�s pained expression, she hung her head guiltily.

�I�m sorry. I didn�t expect that affair to hurt you that much��

�You didn�t expect it?� Xavier scoffed, feeling like he had just heard the world�s funniest joke. He said sarcastically,

�You were the woman I adored but you seduced my father for the sake of resources. How could you say that you didn�t expect it to hurt me?� JrNovels.com
