Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

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 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

mentioned 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?"
