Chapter 1608Chapter 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 defend Shirley, so it was wise to leave Beach City now.
"You agreed?" Xavier looked surprised. He remembered that Shirley had firmly objected to it when he
novelbinmentioned it the other day. She cried and said that he was purposely trying to ruin her, but now... she
was okay with it.
"Rumors keep following me, and you don't care about me. Maybe you'll fall in love with me again if I
leave Beach City and come back in two years," Shirley smiled and said teasingly. She did have a lot of
negative news about her circulating thanks to Leia's and Santiago's fans, who gathered bad things
about her and exposed them. Santiago's fans liked Leia very much and always argued with Shirley's
fans for Leia's sake. They had managed to expose a lot of negative things about her that year. 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?"
