Chapter 1300
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Leia now realized that Xavier had the final say here.
âDo you want me to say yes?â Xavier immediately understood Leiaâs intense look, and smiled mischievously at her.
âOf course!â Leia gritted her teeth and whispered in his ear,â You know why we came, so we have to keep an eye on Shirley at all times to find the truth as soon as possible.â
âWhatâs in it for me if I agree?â
âWhat do you want?â Leia clenched her fists angrily. âEven at a time like this, that scumbag still wants to take advantage of me. How inhumane!â
âNot much⦠I just want you to obey me for the next few days.â Xavier pouted at her and whined, âYou bullied me so much the past few days, it really broke my heartâ¦â
Leia cursed inwardly but forced a smile onto her face. âYou want me to listen to you? Sure, youâre the king here now, so everyone will listen to you!â
âThatâs right!â Xavier touched Leiaâs head in satisfaction as if he was petting an animal.
Everyone saw how they whispered to each other like a young couple, and figured that Leia was very special to Xavier. Thus, they fawned over Leia even more.
âMiss Osborne is so cool and fun.â
âWhatâs more, she looks obedient. Maybe sheâll become popular after this show.â
âIf itâs possible, Miss Osborneâs participation in the show will certainly cause ripples. Thereâll surely be drama if anything happens between her and Miss White during filming.â
Shirley looked at Xavier and frowned. âAre you going to say yes? Youâre the president of Universal Entertainment, but youâre bending over backwards just to please a woman!â
âSo what if heâs a president? Heâs a human just like everyone else. Itâs just a variety show, itâs not like heâs going to suffer,â Leia scoffed. âI recall that your first movie was with Stefan, the CEO of Hunt Enterprise. Mr. Hunt became an actor just to gain his wifeâs heart. Xavier doesnât feel that heâs wrong to join a variety show either, but you think weâve wronged him. If you keep this up, people might get the wrong idea and think youâre from a noble background. Why donât you tell us what kind of background you have?â
âWhy, you!â Shirley gnashed her teeth. She wanted to argue but couldnât say anything. Her background had been a taboo topic for her, and she had worked hard in the entertainment circle for so many years to get rid of the humiliation brought on by her family. However, Leiaâs words pulled Shirley back to reality.
When she put it that way, others might feel that Shirley was not a princess but just put on airs as if she was one.
âItâs getting late. Letâs not delay the progress of the crew,â Xavier finally said. âIâm not interested in picking mushrooms but Lei is, so Iâll shoot this show with her for commemorative purposes.â
âOh, great! I believe that this show will be a wonderful one.â Adam knew that he could not dissuade Xavier, so he agreed to it reluctantly.
Hence, everyone set off for the depths of the mountains.
