Chapter 1626
Leia rolled her eyes when she heard that. She had to hand it to Shirley-she was quite skilled at
pretending to be pitiful. All she needed was to lower her head or pout and she would look innocent... It
was something Leia could never do.
"Oh, your legs are numb? How sad! But that doesn’t mean I can't beat you up," Leia scoffed, putting
her hands on her waist. She approached Shirley, looking like she wanted to teach her a lesson.
"Don't... Don't come near me! My legs are numb. Xavier... save me!" Shirley whimpered, still seated on
the floor as Leia approached her. She couldn't admit she was lying about her legs, so she could only

Suddenly, Leia pointed behind Shirley and screamed in panic. "Ah! It's a rat!"
"Ah! Where is it?" Shirley instantly leaped up and hid behind Xavier since rats were one of her greatest
fears.
However, there was no rat to be seen in the corridor.
"Aren't your legs numb? How did you jump so high? Well, it's certainly no surprise that you're the
number one actress. You're so good at acting!" Leia said teasingly as she crossed her arms over her
chest, tempted to clap for Shirley.
"How dare you, Leia! You tricked me!" Shirley stamped her feet angrily, but she couldn't do anything to
Leia.
"Calm down. Aren't your legs numb? You might break them if you keep stomping your feet like that,"
Leia said mockingly as she pointed at Shirley's legs. Leia knew all about Shirley's schemes since she
had been reading melodramatic romance s since the sixth grade, making her an expert in such
things. Since Shirley had the guts to do something like
that in front of Leia, it had given Leia the perfect excuse to teach her a lesson. Xavier had likely seen
through Shirley's tricks too, but the fact that he didn't expose them and happily played his part in them
probably meant that he was sincerely in love with Shirley.

playing his part. Her features twisted in anger, and she gritted her teeth. "I... My legs were numb, but
they're okay now after you scared me. Is there a problem?"
"No, it's fine as long as you're happy. After all, you'll always have a loyal audience; he'll support you
even if your acting is bad," Leia sneered and shot Xavier a cold glance. Her underlying meaning was
clear-Shirley was so confident her schemes would work because Xavier would always support her. To
some extent, Leia felt jealous of Shirley. Shirley came from a sad background and had no family or
relatives to rely on. She started making a living at a young age and suffered a lot, but eventually, her
luck turned and she found Xavier, who would always support and help her. He could unconditionally
support and protect her, and that itself was a special kind of happiness.
