Chapter 1256
Xavier’s lip curled in anger as he growled, “You’ve done enough damage already. Can you get lost now?’
“Why, you!” Shirley stamped her feet and walked out of the office furiously, her agent and assistant quickly following her.
As soon as they left the office, her agent said anxiously, “It looks like Master Xavier is serious about Miss Osborne. No wonder
he agreed with the board of directors to suspend you. It’ll be very troublesome if things went on like this.”
“Enough talking... You know what to do,’ Shirley said cryptically as she calmly touched up her makeup.
“You’re saying...’ The agent trailed off when Shirley glanced at her meaningfully, and she soon realised what she meant. The
agent sighed, her heart sinking.
When she first made her debut, Shirley was a naive and gullible young woman. At that time, she never complained even if things
were hard because she wanted to earn money for her mother’s illness and her brother’s gambling debt. She worked hard to get
to where she was now, and her journey had been very inspiring. Unfortunately, she had lost herself in the pursuit of fame and
fortune in the entertainment circle, and had now become a vain and cunning person. She did a lot of bad things for the sake of
her own image and popularity, and this time wasn’t going to be any different.
Renee held the business card Xavier had given her as she stood in front of Quinton’s room.

Quinton never gave up hope that Renee would come to make peace with him, so he played chess with Haze until late every
night for fear so he’d be awake if Renee came. When he heard her knock on the door, he was overjoyed, but pretended to not
care. He kept his head low and pretended to be focusing on the chess match as he said calmly, “Why are you coming to me
instead of your ex-husband? I cant entertain you.”
“Ahem, ahem!’ Haze suddenly coughed and said, “You can’t take back your pawn once you’ve put it down, so... think carefully.’
Quinton collected himself after he heard that, and his attitude became better. “There’s a gift box on the table. See if you like it.”
Haze groaned inwardly. Although he still sounded bad, it would have to do.
Renee’s eyes lit up. “Are you giving me a gift?”
“No, I didn’t say that... It’s just that we have too many treasures in Carmine Pawnshop, so I’ve got no place to keep it,” Quinton
lied smoothly. This gift was very valuable and could be regarded as the signature treasure of Carmine Pawnshop.
Renee opened the gift box carefully, and became confused when she saw what was inside.
“This is...”
