Chapter 1629
"Haha! That's ridiculous. You didn't care enough about Ren and were ignorant about her condition, but you have the nerve to say
that I'm lying. Why would I lie for no reason? What good will it do me? I'm not lying, and the person who feels guilty here is the
real liar." Leia didn't expect that Stefan would see through her lies so easily, and started rambling out of nervousness.
After hearing Leia, even Xavier felt like she was hiding something. "Lei, did you have wine? Why are you rambling?" Xavier took
a step forward and held Leia's hand, looking concerned. "Should I take you somewhere to rest? You don't seem well." "No, you
can save that for yourself. If I don't seem well, it's because of your witch. I didn't slap her enough. Let me slap her, then I'll be
fine." Leia tried to turn the conversation back to Shirley, and hoped the surgery would end soon because she couldn't deflect for
much longer.
"Ms. Osborne, go ahead and slap me if you want. I won't complain this time. " Shirley stepped forward and smoothly wedged
herself between Xavier and Leia. Her eyes were watery, and she looked pitiful. "I just don't want you to be mad at Xavier. He's
been thinking about you all this time, and all he cares about is you. I hope you don't misunderstand him." "Oh, great. She's
started another performance." Leia rolled her eyes in disgust, then sneered, "You did so many things to ruin the relationship
between Xavier and me, but let me be frank with you-you don't have to do anything because I've already fallen out with him... I
promised you before that I would make Xavier loyal to you if you gave up your eyes to Ren, but you said that you wanted your
eyes more than Xavier. Clearly, you don't love Xavier that much, so stop pretending that you care so much about him.
"Do I have to sacrifice myself if I love him? Did you do the same since you love him? I know for a fact that you didn't, and to
make things worse, you always behaved arrogantly and tortured Xavier. I never saw you be nice to him. If I were Xavier, I would
have ignored you ages ago. I don't know how you bewitched him. You're such a pretentious woman, but he stays by your side
relentlessly," Shirley argued rudely. Honestly, she couldn't bear to see Xavier fawning over Leia since he used to dote on her like
that in the past.
Looking at Shirley, Leia mocked, "Yes, I was pretentious, but I know my feelings now. I don't love Xavier that much, and I have
the guts to admit it. But what about you? You don't love him, but you pretend you do just to satisfy your selfish needs. Do you
think you're nobler than me?" "I... I..." Shirley was speechless. It would be a loss if she admitted that she didn't love Xavier, but
on the other hand, she didn't act like she loved him either.
Leia was certainly one of a kind-she could put aside her emotions, but Shirley couldn't even face her true feelings.
Xavier had been silent the whole time, but finally raised his hand weakly." Hey, can you guys leave me out of your argument? I
have feelings too." He felt that he was merely a tool for them. In the end, he was the only one who had gotten hurt...
