Chapter 1303

Author: Mizuki Sei
Shirley saw a chance and took it. "Ah!" She screamed and fell backwards. She was on a slope, so she tumbled down it.

"Shirley, are you okay?" Xavier caught up to them, and quickly went to help Shirley.

Shirley rolled for a while before she hit a stone. Her head was bleeding, and her ankle was sprained. "Ah, it hurts so bad! Is my leg broken?"

"No, you're going to be fine. It's just a sprain." Xavier inspected Shirley's leg before he took off his coat. He used his coat and a straight branch as a makeshift cast, then leaned down and carried her on his back.

Leia was scared out of her wits. She just wanted to get to the bottom of this. She hadn't pushed Shirley, but the angle of the shot made it appear like she had purposely pushed Shirley down the hill.

"How... How is she?" Leia swallowed, her face pale.

"Get out of the way!" Xavier carried Shirley and pushed Leia aside, then said coldly, "You're out of line today. It's very disappointing."

"I didn't..." Leia wanted to explain bu

    Shirley was injured, so filming had to be paused temporarily. Both Xavier and the crew helped send Shirley to the hospital in town together."Doctor, how is she?" Once the doctor finished checking Shirley, Xavier quickly went forward. "She's fine, it's just a small fracture. We'll get her a cast, and she'll recover in a week," the doctor explained calmly. Actually, it was just a twisted ankle, but Shirley had secretly transferred some money to him and demanded he say that it was a fracture. So, the doctor went against his conscience and did so.Tsk! Rich people nowadays had peculiar thoughts. They were fine but pretended to be injured. Did they have nothing else better to do?"That's great." Xavier heaved a sigh of relief. If Shirley was fine, Leia wouldn't get in too much trouble. Xavier walked into the ward and looked at Shirley who was lying in bed. "Don't worry, it's just a small fracture. You're fine. You'll recover after laying in bed for a week."Shirley's eyes were tear

    When Shirley saw Xavier's pained expression, she hung her head guiltily. "I'm sorry. I didn't expect that affair to hurt you that much...""You didn't expect it?" Xavier scoffed, feeling like he had just heard the world's funniest joke. He said sarcastically, "You were the woman I adored but you seduced my father for the sake of resources. How could you say that you didn't expect it to hurt me?" It had happened long ago, and he had kept it buried deep in his heart. Now, that pain had resurfaced again. The incident had traumatized him so much that he lost all faith in relationships, and didn't believe in pure love anymore."You were the first person I gave my heart to. I adored you and doted on you like you were my child. I went against my principles so many times because of you, and the whole of Beach City laughed at me for being a kiss-ass. But I never once regretted it. I felt that you would be touched one day, and that you would sincerely accept me. But in the end... not only was

    "You're threatening me?" Xavier disliked being threatened the most, and could see through her schemes. "What do you take me for? Am I some kind of item offered to make peace?" "Did I?" Shirley smiled bitterly, looking very self-deprecating. "I just want to be your friend, but you're saying I threatened you. Do you want us to hate each other forever? Will that make you happy?"Xavier was at a loss for words. He wasn't happy about it, but it seemed like she just wanted them to be friends again. There would be no reason to plot against him just for that. "Fine, I can make peace with you and be your friend from now on. I hope you can keep your promise though; this thing ends here. Don't let it become worse." "Okay, you have my word." Shirley nodded and spread her arms out. "Can we hug each other as friends?""Isn't that unnecessary?" Xavier frowned, instantly cautious."It's just a hug between friends, there's no harm in it. What's more, I nearly died just now. Can't you console me

    It was a very normal statement, but Leia could tell that Shirley was provoking her. She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but that kind of gaze disgusted her."It seems like I came at the wrong time. I don't want to disturb you, so I'll go now..." Leia bit her lip and kept her head low as she was about to leave. "No, it's fine." Xavier let go of Shirley and said to Leia coldly, "You caused such a great accident. Don't you want to resolve it?" He was on Leia's side but he could not favor her at a moment like this. Firstly, he didn't want to spoil her. Secondly, he didn't want to make Shirley jealous in case she decided to take revenge on Leia. Leia assumed that he was sorry for his first love, and bitterness and envy overwhelmed her. She didn't want to retreat, so she braced herself and walked into the ward before asking Shirley, "You know very well that I didn't push you down the hill on purpose, but I won't try to shift the blame either. So, what is it you want? Medical fee

    "I want to but I don't know if Xavier..." Shirley looked at Xavier expectantly. "You don't have to ask him—the whole city knows that he's your number one fan. He's been running around like your servant for so many years, so I'm sure he's long wanted to marry you. You don't have to ask him," Leia glanced at Xavier and said enthusiastically. Xavier pursed his lips and made no reply. He just stared at Leia indifferently. "Isn't that true, Mr. Stuart? Miss White made such a bold statement, so shouldn't you express your thoughts on the matter?" Leia turned the conversation to Xavier, but did not dare to look at him out of guilt. She did not know what was on her mind. She was sad, but she pretended to be unconcerned. She did not want them to get back together with each other, but she kept making things worse. She must be crazy. "What else can I say? You're so good at talking, so you can help me say everything." Xavier had been watching Leia the whole time, looking displeased. Leia

    After Leia spoke, she was overwhelmed with shame. She covered her face and rushed out of the ward. She could not fall in love casually any more. Even with her previous bad experiences, she had never been so hurt in a relationship before! One should never fall in love!Leia had apparently pushed Shirley down the hill just now, and now, her loyal man was with her, so Leia could not ask about Quinton's affair. She decided to wait until Shirley got better before she spoke to her seriously. She wanted to see if she could find the mastermind, so she decided she would stay in the small mountainous village in the meantime. She would have to be wherever Shirley was. Shirley was injured, so the shooting of Happy Days was paused for the time being. All the staff gathered in the small house to talk.Adam noticed that Leia was sitting sulkily beside a pond in front of the house. He was worried that she might be taking things too hard, so he immediately went over to comfort her. "Miss Osborne,

    Leia frowned. "I can't say that either. What we have now should be extraordinary because we feel like killing each other." Adam assumed that she was purposely showing off her romance, and he smirked at her. "Don't worry, Miss Osborne. We're adults; I get it. I just want to ask if you're interested in the entertainment industry. Do you want to get popular?" "Popular?""Yeah, like being a fixed guest on this show. I'm sure we only need one season to make you popular given your character," Adam said confidently. He wanted to do Xavier the favor, and he also wanted to be successful. After all, he had directed so many shows, and now he had reached a bottleneck. If he could promote someone at this point, his career would grow to another level."What benefits will it bring me if I'm popular?" Leia raised her brows and asked him with a smile. "There are a lot of benefits. You'll gain fame and profit, and when people slander you, your fans will help you fight them. What's more, you can

    "You like Santiago too? He's very nice and charming. What's more, he's professional, humble, and virtuous. In short... he's my idol, the one and only one!" When Leia thought of Santiago, she smiled and thought, 'Xavier, so what if you have your first love? I have an idol I admire too.'"Mr. Jiminez, do you know Santiago? I heard that he's pretty aloof and rarely befriends people in the entertainment circle," Leia asked him curiously. At first, she was not very interested in the shrewd director, but when she heard that he admired Santiago too, she felt as if she had found a kindred spirit. Her mood improved too, and she was friendly to him now."We're way more than that—we're close friends. I'll let you in on a secret… Santi owes me a big favor, so he'll surely come here if I invite him," Adam raised his head and said proudly.If a person could pacify such a difficult character in the entertainment circle, they were truly capable regardless of how wide their connections were. It was

    "I don't know, either. All I ever remember from when I was young is that I led a very painful life. I once tried my best to make the Garcia family accept me. I did all the dirty and tiring jobs. I went out to work at an early age to get money for them. I also did all the house chores. "But my foster parents were never nice to me. They would always beat me up or scold me. My elder foster brother also saw me as an eyesore. He always tried to get me killed…" Quinton calmly described his past. He no longer seemed to be in pain. All that was left in him was numbness, as if he were talking about someone else.However, Renee was always in pain whenever she heard him talk about his past. She felt like she had returned to his past with him and experienced those painful things. It was normal for her to feel that way because they were twins. A lot of their thoughts and feelings were synchronized. "I suddenly recalled that I would inexplicably become gloomy many times when I was young. I

    "I'm sorry." When Renee heard that from Quinton, she realized the conflict between him and Stefan had yet to be resolved. It was temporarily put aside because of her. She occasionally saw him and Stefan talk to each other and drink together, but they merely put on a show to ease her mind. Their hatred for each other hadn't been eliminated. Instead, it was growing secretly. If Renee were Quinton, she might never forgive the person who had snatched away her beloved and seized her identity. That person even ruined her face."Why did you say sorry to me? It's the resentment between him and me. It has nothing to do with you. Plus, I didn't know he was my brother-in-law then. If I knew, I wouldn't have fought him." When Quinton recalled those affairs, he realized that people were nothing but the sport of fate. If there had been no resentment between him and Stefan, Renee might not have broken up with Stefan. Their families might even get closer. "Stop bringing up the past. It's

    During these days, Renee was under pressure because of her affairs. She had no chance to ask Quinton about it. Now, the long flight gave them a chance to have a deep conversation. They could talk about their woes and seek consolation."Me?" Quinton lowered his head and shook his head helplessly. "I'm still the same old me. Nothing is troubling me. I've been busy with Carmine Pawnshop. I have no time to think about other stuff.""You have no time?" Renee touched her chin and smiled naughtily. "Then, you must have been dwelling on other stuff. Let me guess… Is it the thing between you and Joanne?" "Stop asking so much." Quinton did not deny it but refused to talk much about that. "It looks like I made the right guess. You fell out with Joanne, didn't you?" Renee knew Quinton well. Generally, his work would not affect his mood. The only person who could affect his mood was Joanne, who shared a complicated relationship with him. Before Renee left Beach City, she had created a l

    After a long while, Quinton turned around. He looked at Renee, who was across from him, and heaved a long sigh."We're about to go home soon. Why do you look this gloomy? What's wrong…? Are you reluctant to part with this place?" Quinton said. "No, I'm not." Renee poured herself a glass of orange juice and sipped it. She frowned and dwelled on it before she said, "I feel empty inside. I don't know if I made the right choice.""Empty?" Quinton asked curiously."I think I've said goodbye to a steady life since I decided to leave. Maybe I'll keep on wandering from now on," Renee said melancholically. The reason why she chose to give it a try with Justin because she was tired. She was exhausted from leading a wandering life and wanted to settle down with someone. Others could not give her the sense of security like Justin. When she saw him, she inexplicably wanted a home. At that time, she thought she could forget about everything and start a new life with him. Unexpectedly, she

    Adie was still a child, but he acted like a smart person and could see through a lot of things. He could guess why Austin took them to the Baldwin residence. He had also heard the servants of the Baldwin family rebuking Renee in secret. After combining various situations, he learned about what had happened between Renee and Justin. Despite everything, Justin could forgive Renee under such circumstances. He also treated Adie and Abby nicely. It proved that he was a very compassionate man. A small regret gripped Adie. He wondered why Renee didn't date Justin right from the start. If Renee were with such a kind man, she might be very happy. She wouldn't have to suffer through so many hardships either. "No, you don't know me. I always sweat the small stuff."Justin was displeased since Adie had claimed that he was a good guy, like Renee had. He heaved a long sigh and said, "But it's useless even if I sweat the small stuff, so I stop trying. It all comes down to fate. We can't forc

    Renee turned and found Jovan unscathed. Relief washed over her. She said grumpily, "It's none of your business!""Tsk! How cruel!" Jovan clutched his chest and pretended to be in deep pain. At the same time, he teased, "I know. Your soulmate is better. I'm so jealous of him, though he's still a fallback guy.""Go to hell, Jovan!" Jovan's nasty words drove Renee mad. She grabbed a piece of napkin, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at his face. "If I knew you'd talk so badly, I wouldn't be bothered to save you. Maybe you'll get reborn in Ulria. Then, you have to watch your tongue!""Hey! Yeah, I was wrong. You don't have to curse me like that!" Jovan raised his hands to surrender, but felt quite moved. He poured himself a glass of milk and devotedly toasted to her. "Thank you for caring about me and trying your best to save me. I'll toast to you. And you can do whatever you want.""You're so childish." Renee rolled her eyes and was amused.Justin was quite jealous to see them

    "What's that?" Justin frowned and said with disdain, "That's something to fool naive women like you. Only lovestruck fools will believe that." As a materialistic person, he never believed in things like horoscopes and fortune-telling. At most, they were mixed with some psychology. They weren't trustworthy at all.If Renee wanted to use those things to talk about their relationships and destinies, it would seem very childish. "Don't be so extreme. Those things are real and logical." Renee acted like an experienced salesperson and gradually eliminated Justin's prejudice. She said patiently, "If you believe those things, they can guide you and help you to see things through. If not, you can use them to kill time. Just try to get to know them. Isn't that nice?"Finally, Justin was convinced. He had some milk and asked her leisurely, "Fine. Tell me what kind of relationship we have based on those things." "I learned that our relationship is a declining friendship based on our birt

    "I…" Renee paused. For a moment, she had no idea how to answer that question."Don't put yourself in a difficult position. Just follow your heart," Justin said calmly. "If you want to stay, my family will still welcome you readily. If you want to leave, I'll come up with a way to help you leave smoothly."After listening to Justin, Renee answered honestly, "Maybe it's better for me to leave, though I know this choice will hurt you."She could choose to stay to protect Justin's dignity and give Austin a good explanation. It would be more relaxing and steadier for her. However, Renee knew that it could only last briefly. She would cause Justin greater harm. She might as well be decisive and stop the damage in time. "Don't say that." Justin cracked a bitter smile and said with relief, "I've stopped taking things too seriously. If you like me, you won't stop loving me even if we're apart. Similarly, you'll think about another man if you don't like me, even though you're always b

    Austin was having breakfast in the dining room. When he saw Justin and Renee walk over intimately, he finally believed that they had slept together. They seemed like a real couple."Good morning, Grandpa Baldwin!" Renee obediently greeted Austin just like before. She acted normally."Good morning." Austin nodded, unable to suppress his smile. After sizing them up, he calmly said to Renee, "We know how apologetic you are after you toasted to us last night. We'll forget about the past. You're still a part of my family." "Grandpa!" Justin interrupted Austin; he was very protective of Renee. "She's a woman, and we're not married yet. Please don't say that. A woman's reputation is the most important thing.""You…" Austin wanted to refute Justin, but their conflict was just resolved so it would be bad to pressure them more. He shook his head and said, "Fine. You two always have a bland romance. Finally, you've made some progress. I'll let you two decide what to do next.""Got it, Gr
