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

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..."
