Chapter 1254

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?"

"I, I..." Leia pursed her lips guiltily.

Xavier had been watching everything indifferently, but instinctively stepped forward when he saw Leia's dilemma.

He stated coldly, "So what if she

did? I'm her boyfriend, so she has the right to know what her boyfriend talks about with another woman. In fact,

any other woman would have barged in and insisted on being included."

"Boy... Boyfriend?" Shirley's expression became nasty, and she glared at Xavier icily. "Are you seriously in love with

her? You once said that all these other women are just playthings, and that you'll find someone new the second you

get bored. How can you call yourself her boyfriend? Isn't it ridiculous?"

"She's different." Xavier's sharp gaze was dangerous. "And you have no right to judge me."

"Of course I do! I'm the only woman you ever loved. Just admit it- everyone could see how much you sacrificed for

me, which is so different from the way you treat her," Shirley boasted arrogantly.

Leia's cheeks burned in humiliation, and she scoffed, "Hmph, you make it sound like he's the most popular man

around. He said he can get another woman if he's bored? Well, I should be the one saying that.’

Leia walked up to Xavier and pinched his cheeks. "Look at him. You don't have to worry, I'm already bored of him. If

you want, I can give him back to you."
