Chapter 1130

Xavier raised his brows slightly and answered calmly, “I didn’t use any connection but spent a bit of money.”

“Well, this affair couldn’t be resolved with money alone.”

“No, I just transferred 50 million to the bank account of the victim’s family before I asked several men in black to meet them with fruits and knives. After that… they learned that it was their son who had made a scene and harmed himself instead. They then went to the police to settle the issue.”

Xavier sounded casual and composed. It seemed as simple as buying an ingredient, but that ingredient came at an eye-watering price.

Renee patted his shoulders and could not help commenting on their deep relationship. “Well, you’re pretty good. You spent 50 million just like that. If this isn’t considered love…”

Consequently, Leia blushed and tugged at Renee’s clothes. “Ren, stop the nonsense.”

After that, she looked up and said to him stiffly, “Xavier, thank you. I’ll try my best to return 50 million to you.”

“Just 50 million?”

Xavier uttered casually, “Do you know how much interest one can gain each day for a bank deposit of 50 million?”

Soon Leia’s face sank.

Tsk! She was used to his annoying behavior. But she was slightly moved just now.

“Well, tell me the total based on the bank interest. I’ll return it to you in a year.” Leia gnashed her teeth and stated.

“That won’t do either.”

Xavier continued his mischief. “You should know that my family is involved in the high-interest business, too, so the interest can’t be calculated based on what banks usually offer. I should ask for a four percent of interest.”

“Four percent? It’s three percent at most, even if it’s a high-interest business. You’re getting way over your head here!”

Leia felt that she had been blackmailed so she turned away and said, “I think I’ll better go back in there.

Getting locked up is better than getting blackmailed like this.”

“Ha! Ha! Ha! Don’t worry. You can afford the interest. I just want you to be with me.”

Xavier held Leia’s arm and quickly gave in.

Standing at the side, Renee watched them quibble with each other. They were quarreling flirtatiously, and she inevitably smiled happily.

Hmm… Xavier learned from his mistake. He was finally in his character.

“Er… I remember that I have something else to do. I’ll go now.”

After that, Renee left rapidly.

“Hey, Ren. I’ll go with you. I…”

Leia tried to pursue Renee, but Xavier refused to let her go. As a result, Leia could only watch her bestie get into a cab and leave.

“What’s wrong with the two of you? Did you two plan this?”

Leia turned away and shoved off Xavier’s hand.

“No, it’s my action alone.”

With both hands in his pockets, he jokingly quipped, “You don’t know how hard it was to pacify that couple. I was almost driven mad. I pestered them for almost a week before they agreed to write a letter of forgiveness.”

Leia could not help but be moved. She bit her lips and stated, “Regardless, thank you. I’ll keep your kindness in mind.”

“You don’t have to thank me.”

After that, Xavier invited her for a meal. “Let’s go. Let me take you out for something nice to get rid of your bad luck.”

“That won’t be necessary.”

Leia smoothed her hair, revealing the wound on her eye “What’s the matter with your eye?”

Xavier found that Leia’s face was hurt. He appeared submissive and silly just now, but now he immediately turned solemn. His body exuded a chilly and frightening aura.
