The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Chapter 1299
A tinge of panic crept into Shirley’s eyes, but she was an actress who had undergone professional training, so she soon regained
her wits. “Oh, that... Yes, I seem to have contacted him because I needed to get my skin booster again, so I made an
appointment with him in advance. Miss Osborne, do you need it too? I can recommend him to you.”
She lifted her chin and smiled at Leia, but the provocation was clear.
“Stop pretending. You know it isn’t as simple as that.” Leia was so angry that she rushed to Shirley to confront her.
“Miss Osborne, please behave yourself. Shirley is a celebrity, so please keep some distance from her.” The agent extended her
hand to block Shirley from Leia.
Shirley looked at Xavier and sneered, “I didn’t expect your taste to be this... special.”
“What do you mean? Speak clearly!” Leia demanded, sensing that Shirley was mocking her.
“Mr. Jiminez, didn’t you say we were about to start shooting? Why is everyone still standing here?” Shirley ignored Leia as she
asked Adam sweetly.
“This...” Adam swallowed and looked at Xavier. “We were about to start but Mr. Stuart came, so it was delayed. We’re waiting for
his order.”
“Just go ahead with your shooting. Don’t delay it because of us.” Xavier put his hands in his pockets and ordered.
Hence, the team started filming.
Based on the original script, Shirley would take a few guests up the mountain as the main heroine to pick mushrooms for today’s
lunch. The mountain was a few miles away, so going up and down the mountain would easily take more than half a day.
That meant that Leia might lose the chance to confront Shirley.
“No!” Leia stepped forward and said suddenly, “Mr. Jiminez, didn’t you say you want to invite us as mystery guests? Why don’t
Xavier and I be the mystery guests for this show and go pick mushrooms with Shirley?”
She felt that she would be able to get the truth out of Shirley as long as she was near her at all times.

“Er, that...” Adam wiped away his sweat, uncertain of what to do.
The guests for every show were fixed in advance, and the script had already been finalized too. If two people joined the show all
of a sudden without any script, accidents would happen very easily. For example, the show might be too boring or the guests
might be too wild, and then it would be hard to edit the show later. Previously, he invited Xavier to join the show as a guest out of
cordiality and to gain his favor. If Xavier agreed to it, Adam did not dare to say no.
Shirley naturally did not want Leia to make trouble, so she asked Adam coldly, ’Mr. Jiminez, you’ve always been cautious in your
work, and you hate people who pull strings. Since the guests for a show are fixed in advance, people can’t come and join the
show at random, right?”
“That’s true but there’ll always be a change of plans. We’d better ask Mr. Stuart’s opinion on this. After all, he’s the sponsor of
this show; we’ll listen to him.” Adam wiped away his sweat and let Xavier handle the dilemma.
Leia looked at Xavier and indicated to him to agree to it immediately.
