Chapter 1608
Shirley raised her head and locked eyes with Xavier, her gaze soft. “So... You’ve been worried about me all this time. You still
care about me, don’t you?” “I just think it’s better for you if you further your studies now.” Xavier’s expression was icy, with no
emotion on his face whatsoever. In his mind, Shirley was a part of his past he couldn’t get rid of. He has sacrificed a lot for her,
and it might have been out of habit or pity that he didn’t want his former girlfriend to have her eyes gouged out. Shirley was
someone he used to love, and Stefan was his childhood friend-he would hate for either of those relationships to be ruined. It was
best to make Shirley leave Beach City and lay low in a place where Stefan couldn’t find her.
‘Til go if you think I should leave Beach City.” Shirley was not as averse towards the option now, and for the first time, agreed
with Xavier about it. She could foresee that Leia would do anything to get revenge on her after tonight, and Xavier might not

. 0. The other hand, Santiago had released a statement hoping that Shirley would manage her fans well and not trouble innocent
people. He had also expressed his desire to never work with Shirley, and since Santiago was the top male actor, he had a lot of
shares and power in companies that supported him. Consequently, those subsidiary companies had also refused to work with
Shirley.
As the rumors spread, the people in the entertainment industry had started to follow the trend. Santiago had openly boycotted
her, and Xavier had long given her up. It had been a long time since she received any opportunities, so if she went abroad to
further her studies now, she could leave the battle and make her fans see her as an innocent victim. All the rumors about her
would disappear too. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
“I’m glad you’ve realized.” Xavier didn’t dwell much on it. He merely felt that Shirley had finally come to her senses and realized
his good intentions. He sized Shirley up and then glanced into the club. When he found nothing amiss, he said casually, “Okay,
I’m going.” “Don’t!” Shirley approached him and held his arm. “Since I might be leaving, why don’t you spend some time with
me?”
