Chapter 1287
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âCalm downâ¦â Xavier tried to console Leia. âI hear you, but Iâm afraid this incident isnât as simple as you think. Shirley holds no grudges against Quinton, and they donât even talk, so thereâs no point in her risking her future to harm himâ¦â
âUgh, shut up!â When Leia heard his words, she was so angry that she wanted to leave, but she forced herself to stay since she had a favor to ask of him. So, she gritted her teeth and sneered, âI told you someone told me that she heard the plastic surgeon talking to Shirley on the phone before the surgery. He even asked her to rest assured since he would get the job done. Do you really think sheâs innocent? This woman isnât as simple as you think, but you always regard her as your untouchable first love. You just donât want to admit it.â
âYouâre wrong,â Xavier said coldly, âI know better than you that thereâs more to her than meets the eye. If not, I wouldnât have fallen out with her⦠I just want you to properly analyze who the culprit is.â
He was not a biased person. Regardless of who it was, he could analyze the situation logically.
Leiaâs anger dimmed, and she said, âAt the very least, Iâm sure she was a part of it even if she wasnât the culprit. Itâs fine as long as I find her and ask her about it, right?â
Xavier thought about it briefly, then nodded. âSure, Iâll go with you.â
âWhy? Are you afraid that Iâll make things difficult for your first love?â
Xavier shook his head. âNo, she can easily deal with you given how straightforward you are.â
âWhat⦠are you talking about?â
âYouâre gullible and can be easily bullied. Itâs better if I watch over you.â
After that, he picked up his phone and contacted the business department. âLook into Shirleyâs current schedule and send a copy of it to my phone.â
She had been suspended by the company, so she did not have many jobs. Currently, she was doing a slow variety show called Happy Days. She signed onto it a year ago.
It was about a group of celebrities who spent time living a simple life in a remote village. At first, Shirley didnât want to do the show because she had to work and toil away there for a month. After the show, her skin would have turned rough and tanned. It was hard to restore her delicate look, so she found it intolerable. So, even though her fans thought that she was diligent, the others complained that she was too pretentious and wanted nothing but a comfortable life. They thought she needed her assistant to do everything for her, including feeding her.
Hence, the company accepted such a variety show for her to change her image. If the show gained a good response, she could earn an endorsement fee, and the company would stop suspending her.
âThe business department told me that she arrived at Drido Village at Siebert City in Xavwood last night. The living conditions there are rather difficult, and I heard that there arenât any roads. Do you still want to go?â Xavier was afraid that she could not soldier through that.
After all, she was a rich young lady who grew up under Geronimoâs abundant adoration. She never did any house chores, and he figured that she had never been to a village before. âI can ask her for you or you can go to her after the shooting is over.â
âNo!â Leia raised her hand eagerly. âTo be honest, Iâve been watching Happy Days for five seasons. I planned to go there to take a look even without Shirley. Now is the perfect time!â
âOkay, Iâll get a car and set off right away.â Xavier held his forehead because he knew that he could not dissuade her from that. He could only accompany her for the wild ride ahead.
