Julia bit her lower lip and said indignantly, “But aren’t your parents doing well now? It’s not a problem to support the two of us. Besides, you’re capable too. Even if you can’t be a teacher, you can do business with your parents, right?”

Xavier sneered and said with a mocking smile, “Can you afford it? Julia, those bags of yours are worth hundreds of thousands. Have you thought about it? If you follow me, you might only be able to use bags that cost a few thousand or even dozens of dollars in the future. Without your sister, think about it. Can you still live such a comfortable life?”

“But my cousin dotes on me so much. My cousin probably won’t blame me for being with you. I will beg her to let us be together. She’ll still be my sister in the future and will give me good things.” Julia fantasized about marrying Xavier without losing Bailey’s support.

Other than getting married to Xavier, Julia had no other choice. Otherwise, she would become the laughing stock of everyone.

Seeing that Julia couldn’t be persuaded no matter what, Xavier gradually became frustrated and his tone was also unfriendly. “Don’t be so naive. Which woman could tolerate her sister dating her boyfriend and still be so good to her? Let me tell you, once we get together, all the rich life you have now will be in vain.”

Julia was extremely upset by Xavier’s words. Xavier was right. Her parents weren’t capable, so their family didn’t have a good business. She was living like a rich young lady now because her rich cousin would give her expensive clothes, bags, and jewelry every now and then.

These branded items were also the prerequisite for her to enter the socialite circle of City R. If she didn’t have them in the future, it was very likely that she would be kicked out of the socialite circle.

Seeing Julia’s expression soften, Xavier immediately continued to bewitch her. “Julia, I do love you, but I don’t want you to suffer with me. Don’t worry, as long as I completely control the Shear family, I will definitely marry you gloriously. I will seek justice for all the humiliation you suffered today.”

Xavier caressed Julia’s face and coaxed her gently. “Be good, you’ve always been very obedient, haven’t you? Be good. When I succeed, I’ll make everyone kneel at your feet and admit their mistake today. Think about it, don’t you feel much better?”

Julia finally nodded with tears in her eyes. For the sake of her and Xavier’s future, she could endure it.

Layla stood at the entrance of the hotel with Bailey and comforted him with a worried expression. “Bailey, are you alright? Don’t be sad. That kind of scumbag isn’t worth it.”

Bailey smiled at Layla and said, “I’m fine. Have you forgotten that I’ve already broken up with Xavier on the day of the Gaston’s banquet? You were still talking about this just now. Why can’t you remember now?”

Layla carefully observed Bailey’s expression and realized that she did not look as sad as she should have after her boyfriend cheated on her. Only then did she feel relieved.

Layla said happily, “That’s right. What kind of person is Bailey? Why would she put in so much effort for that kind of man? It’s fine. Your next one will be even more obedient. I’ll arrange good-looking men for you tomorrow. There are all kinds of muscular men, obedient ones, elite men, naughty ones, and the next door neighbor boys. You can have whatever type of men you want.”

“Why? Ms. Shear, have you reached the point where you can’t live without a man? You’ve just broken up with your ex not long ago, and you’re already looking for the next one. Are you so busy?” Zachary’s mocking voice approached from afar.

Bailey raised her eyebrows and looked at Zachary, who was walking towards her, with a smile. she said frivolously, “I’m quite lacking. I wonder who will be next. Young Master Gaston, do you have a recommendation?”

Zachary choked on Bailey’s question. Bailey was obviously talking about him. There were so many people here, yet she didn’t know how to restrain herself. She was so shameless.

Sunny and Layla were afraid that these two people would start fighting, so they quickly pulled the two of them apart.

Bailey turned to Layla and the girls beside her and said, “Why don’t you guys go back first? I still have something to discuss with President Gaston.”

Layla’s eyes instantly widened as she said worriedly, “Bailey, I know you’re powerful, but it’s inevitable that you’ll accidentally injure yourself in a fight. Why don’t I accompany you to the boxing arena to practice?”

“Since Ms. Shear wants to have a chat, of course I’ll accompany you. Sunny, you guys can go back first,” Zachary said calmly.
