Xavier’s fierce demeanor made the enthusiastic onlookers hold their breaths.
“Uhm… Is he going to get the firewood ready? He looks like he’s going to set someone on fire instead!”
Leia scowled angrily. “Getting firewood ready? You live like a prince. Do you even know what firewood looks like?
You want to help, but you shouldn’t waste others’ time!”
At first, Leia planned to get the fire ready for Santiago while he prepared the fish, so they could cook together later
and deepen their relationship. But before she could say that, Xavier came out of nowhere and ruined all her plans.
She could not figure out why he liked to meddle in her affairs. He had meddled earlier when she wanted to ride in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe pickup with Santiago, and did the same when she wanted to catch mudfish and cook with Santiago. He was the
big shot of a large entertainment company; did he have nothing better to do?
“It’s none of your business. After all, we have a shameless person here with us, don’t we?” Xavier put his hands in
his pockets and looked at Santiago coldly.
It was obvious that he was ridiculing Santiago.
“Why would you say such a thing? You…” Leia was so enraged that Xavier had humiliated her idol again. He
claimed that her idol was pretentious, and now, he was even saying that he was shameless. Of course, she couldn’t
take that lightly.
“It’s fine.” Santiago smiled and stopped Leia. He calmly retorted, “Being shameless is a skill too. Some people want
that, but they don’t have such a talent.”
He stared at Xavier without any intention of retreating. “Just let the men do the rough work like getting the fire
going. Since Mr. Stuart volunteered, you guys can just wait for the meal.”
Hence, one of them cooked while the other got the fire going. They divided their tasks and got to work.
Leia sat in the house and looked at the kitchen from time to time, worried that Xavier would bully Santiago. What if
Xavier turned wild and burned Santiago’s face? Xavier was so reckless that he was capable of anything!
As she thought about it, she clenched her fists and decided to go into the kitchen to keep an eye on Xavier. It would
be safer that way.
“Miss Osborne, can I talk to you alone since we’re free?” Shirley stood before Leia with her assistant’s help. She

“What are you up to?” Leia frowned, cautious. She was most afraid of hypocrites like Shirley, because she could
easily fall into their traps.
“No, I don’t…” Shirley looked up and glanced around. When she confirmed that no one was paying attention to
them, she whispered, “Don’t you want to know why an accident happened during Quinton’s surgery?”
When Leia heard that, her eyes widened in shock. She looked at Shirley coldly. “Why? Do you want to confess?”
That was the reason why she was here, but Xavier had affected her mood, so her focus got diverted.
“Yes, I can confess, but it’s rather complicated. I want to talk to you alone if you’re willing…” It was clearly a trap
Shirley had prepared for Leia.
