The atmosphere was very ambiguous. The two of them were about to kiss each other.
Suddenly, Leia seemed to have regained her wits. She abruptly raised her legs to kick Xavier off the bed. After that, she leaped and stood up.
“All men are scumbags. What’s more, you’re that scumbag Stefan’s buddy. Birds of a feather flock together. You’ll only be worse than him!”
However, Xavier seemed completely unperturbed. Half sitting on the carpet, he propped his arms up and revealed a carefree smile. “I’m glad to see you have such an awareness. Keep this in mind. Don’t ever tread the path of love. This thing is devastating. One can only lead an easy life without love.”
They bade each other goodbye before they took their respective flights to fly to Sun Island, which was near Quartz Island.
They did not know that their destination was the same. They boarded the plane to the edge of Sun Island before they got a private speedboat to go to the island.
The speedboat heading to Sun Island only ran in the morning and at night. So, it would only set off for the island when everyone had arrived.
Leia arrived at the dock first, so she sat in a simple cold beverages shop. However, she became slightly impatient from the wait.
“Captain, can you set sail now? I’m in a rush!”
She was still wearing a cowboy sun hat. However, her delicate facial features were almost fully hidden by her sunglasses. Her Bohemian sling was embroidered with mysterious and wonderful patterns, which perfectly matched the blue sea and large tropical forest.
The captain was in the sailing business all year round, so his skin was rather tanned. At a glance, he was immediately charmed by that unique woman and spread his hands helplessly. “Miss, I’m sorry. I would like to set off too, but that customer paid too much, so I have to wait for him.”
“How much did he pay? I’ll pay you double!”
Leia was the most adored daughter in the Osborne family. She was never short of money, so she immediately waved her large hand. “How about this? I’ll book your boat. Refund triple the price to that person, and we’ll set off now.”
“Err…”
The captain was hesitant for a while before he answered, “Let me just make a call.”
After a while, the captain shrugged apologetically. “This customer seems richer than you. He said he’ll pay ten times your offer and book my boat. I hope that you’re sensible enough to give up your spot. He likes VIP service and dislikes sharing the boat.”
“Who is that? How arrogant!”
Consequently, Leia became competitive. She also became curious about that man.
“Wait a moment. He’ll arrive in another ten minutes. Then, you guys can discuss whom I shall take.”
“Fine. When that time comes, I’ll let you witness the power of money!”
Leia was very confident, ready to spend extravagantly to teach that insensible person a lesson.
After all, the Osbornes were one of the eight great families in Beach City. They had endless properties and abundant wealth. Hence, only a few families in the entire world dared to challenge the Osbornes.
She did not believe that she would bump into a person more powerful than her family in such a niche place. That probability was slimmer than winning the lottery.
Ten minutes later, she saw the captain assume a flattering and humble attitude in the face of a tall and sturdy man.
That man was none other than Xavier.
Well, there were only a few families that could challenge her family in Beach City… And… And she bumped into a person from such a family. As expected, enemies were bound to meet one way or another.
For a moment, Leia felt defeated. She lowered her head and gulped down two sips of orange juice.
The captain led Xavier to Leia and said, “Sir, this lady wants to book the boat too. I’ll take whoever offers a higher price.”
