"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 another chance and 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…
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.
