Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
“Maybe it’s a secret crush?”
Flossie was full of curiosity. She sighed. “This person is indeed capable regardless of his identity. After all, this isn’t an issue that can be solved entirely with money.”
While they spoke, a silver sports car parked by the road honked at them.
Both Flossie and Leia looked at the car.
After that, they saw Xavier opening the door and getting out of the car, full of his usual charm.
“Beautiful ladies, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Please get in the car.”
He leaned against the car door and revealed a charming smile in his eyes.
“It’s him?”
Both Flossie and Leia looked at each other. Feeling surprised, they felt that it was reasonable too.
Well, why didn’t they think of Xavier? His feelings toward Leia were not simple. He must have been the first to act when something like this happened.
“I… don’t think so.”
Leia swallowed slightly in fear.
Though they had remained friends with each other, they contacted little.
They were just ordinary friends. He did not have to go to so much trouble for that affair.
“You can just ask him about it.”
After Flossie said that, she pulled Leia to Xavier and went straight to the point. “Xavier, did you use one of your connections to get Lei out of prison?”
Xavier raised his brows slightly and answered calmly, “I didn’t use any connection but spent a bit of money.”
“Well, this affair couldn’t be resolved with money alone.”
“No, I just transferred 50 million to the bank account of the victim’s family before I asked several men in black to meet them with fruits and knives. After that… they learned that it was their son who had made a scene and harmed himself instead. They then went to the police to settle the issue.”
Xavier sounded casual and composed. It seemed as simple as buying an ingredient, but that ingredient came at an eye-watering price.
Flossie patted his shoulders and could not help commenting on their deep relationship. “Well, you’re pretty good. You spent 50 million just like that. If this isn’t considered love…”
Consequently, Leia blushed and tugged at Flossie’s clothes. “Flossie, stop the nonsense.”
After that, she looked up and said to him stiffly, “Xavier, thank you. I’ll try my best to return 50 million to you.”
“Just 50 million?”
Xavier uttered casually, “Do you know how much interest one can gain each day for a bank deposit of 50 million?”
Soon Leia’s face sank.
Tsk! She was used to his annoying behavior. But she was slightly moved just now.
“Well, tell me the total based on the bank interest. I’ll return it to you in a year.” Leia gnashed her teeth and stated.
“That won’t do either.”
Xavier continued his mischief. “You should know that my family is involved in the high-interest business, too, so the interest can’t be calculated based on what banks usually offer. I should ask for a four percent of interest.”
“Four percent? It’s three percent at most, even if it’s a high-interest business. You’re getting way over your head here!”
Leia felt that she had been blackmailed so she turned away and said, “I think I’ll better go back in there. Getting locked up is better than getting blackmailed like this.”
“Ha! Ha! Ha! Don’t worry. You can afford the interest. I just want you to be with me.”
Xavier held Leia’s arm and quickly gave in.
Standing at the side, Flossie watched them quibble with each other. They were quarreling flirtatiously, and she inevitably smiled happily.
Hmm… Xavier learned from his mistake. He was finally in his character.
“Er… I remember that I have something else to do. I’ll go now.”
After that, Flossie left rapidly.
“Hey, Flossie. I’ll go with you. I…”
Leia tried to pursue Flossie, but Xavier refused to let her go. As a result, Leia could only watch her bestie get into a cab and leave.
“What’s wrong with the two of you? Did you two plan this?”
Leia turned away and shoved off Xavier’s hand.
“No, it’s my action alone.”
With both hands in his pockets, he jokingly quipped, “You don’t know how hard it was to pacify that couple. I was almost driven mad. I pestered them for almost a week before they agreed to write a letter of forgiveness.”
Leia could not help but be moved. She bit her lips and stated, “Regardless, thank you. I’ll keep your kindness in mind.”
“You don’t have to thank me.”
After that, Xavier invited her for a meal. “Let’s go. Let me take you out for something nice to get rid of your bad luck.”
“That won’t be necessary.”
Leia smoothed her hair, revealing the wound on her eye
“What’s the matter with your eye?”
Xavier found that Leia’s face was hurt. He appeared submissive and silly just now, but now he immediately turned solemn. His body exuded a chilly and frightening aura.
“It’s nothing!” Leia snapped, quickly turning away and hiding her face with her hair, reluctant to let others see her vulnerability.
“Nothing? Your face is already swollen!” Xavier exclaimed as he gently lifted her chin and brushed her hair off, studying her face with a pained look.
Who could have imagined that in just a matter of days, the woman who strutted like she owned the place would end up looking so pitiful?
“Who did this to you?” He demanded, his brow tightly furrowed as if his favorite toy was broken, and he looked bent on cutting the culprit into pieces.
“No one. I fell,” Leia said, moving away from his touch and turning her back on him.
She was just like Flossie—she held herself with great pride and would act nonchalant even if she was bruised and battered.
Xavier was not easily fooled, however, and took her hand as he growled. “We’re going back.”
