Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 879: Who Gave You the Right to Insult Her?
Madame Goldie got angry just thinking of the staff’s sycophantic expressions earlier. Giving her roses with such a face, asking if it was enough—maybe they should’ve given a dozen more?
Davina Rowe strutted past her with an air of superiority.
Madame Goldie had been in the entertainment industry for many years. When Leah Thorne debuted, Justin Xavier directly assigned her as Leah’s gold-standard dedicated manager. "Snatching" was her profession, and she was serious about it!
Madame Goldie, who had never lost in snatching resources or endorsements, actually lost to a rookie like Davina Rowe. She felt utterly humiliated.
Davina’s reason was... having a rose petal bath with Justin Xavier. That reason was too ridiculous; she couldn’t possibly say she wanted to have a rose petal bath with Leah Thorne instead, right?
In any case, Madame Goldie was furious. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Upon hearing the term "rose petal bath," Leah Thorne shivered slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. "Forget about it, Madame Goldie, there’s no need to take it seriously. I won’t take the bath tonight."
"Leah, since when did you become so nonchalant? No ambition at all!" Madame Goldie lovingly pinched Leah’s soft cheeks as a punishment.
Leah said nothing.
"Leah, about President Xavier... do you really not want him? Think it through. If you don’t want President Xavier, other women will. Isn’t our motto... even if we don’t want the man, we can’t let other women have him so easily?" Madame Goldie attempted to persuade her.
Leah still said nothing.
"Leah, where did this little character Davina Rowe come from? You’ve become so detached that you’re letting her walk all over you? The Leah Thorne I know has never encountered a true rival. Davina Rowe could disappear in an instant, as long as you want it. Yet, you keep her around, only to upset yourself."
Leah raised her head, her alluring eyes landing on Madame Goldie’s face, "Madame Goldie, how much did they pay you to say these things? Let me ask, are you my person or Justin Xavier’s? Did he instruct you to say this?"
Madame Goldie laughed. She knew Leah understood everything and had done nothing, probably because... she hadn’t made up her mind.
"Leah, believe me, I’m on your side because I see more potential for wealth with you. These words weren’t paid for; they’re my genuine words, I swear."
"There’s a saying, men are born to conquer the world, while women are born to conquer men. Leah, I want to give you this saying. You know President Xavier’s feelings for you more than anyone. Just move your finger a little, and President Xavier will come running to you like a loyal puppy."
"Turn him into an arrow in your hand. Of course... I know it’s a bit difficult for you because... you still love him."
"Leah, think it over carefully. At least... deal with those flirty women around President Xavier. I don’t want to see them flaunting about tomorrow. It’s really a headache."
With that said, Madame Goldie left.
Only Leah remained in the room. She got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, slowly raising her hands to wrap around herself.
...
In another room, Justin Xavier stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, tugging at his tie. At this moment, his personal secretary asked from behind, "President, when should we set out to return?"
Justin showed little expression, "Any updates on Leah Thorne?"
"None. We haven’t heard anything about Miss Thorne’s flight yet. With Miss Summer here, Miss Thorne will probably stay a few more days," the personal secretary replied.
"Then let’s not go yet. Wait a couple of days. There are too many people here, and it’s very noisy..." Justin didn’t say more, but the personal secretary knew that leaving Miss Thorne among many men wasn’t reassuring for the President.
"President Xavier~" Davina Rowe called out sweetly, directly hugging Justin Xavier’s sturdy waist from behind.
The personal secretary swiftly exited.
Now, with the tie loosely hanging around his neck, Justin opened the sleeve buttons of his shirt, rolling the sleeves twice upwards, revealing his firm forearms and the luxury steel watch on his wrist. He didn’t look at Davina and said lightly, "What is it?"
"President Xavier~" Davina’s restless hands slowly crawled up his firm chest.
The atmosphere in the room quickly turned ambiguous.
At this moment, Justin turned around, casting a cold glance at her, "Put your hands back. I’m not in the mood today. You can leave now."
Davina’s restless hand froze in mid-air. He had actually rejected her.
"What, didn’t you understand me?" Justin raised an eyebrow.
Davina looked at his emotionless, indifferent demeanor. The desire that had come so quickly that night left just as swiftly now.
Having just secured the rose and still gloating, Davina had planned to actually have a rose petal bath with Justin, but now... he directly sent her away.
"President Xavier, I..." Davina tried to argue for herself.
But Justin’s eyes darkened, eyeing her indifferently.
A chill ran down Davina’s spine; she realized he had lost all patience with her, so she suppressed her disappointment and grievances, turning to leave.
Just then, there was a "ding." Justin’s phone chimed; a message on WeChat had arrived.
On his phone, there was only Leah Thorne on WeChat.
Leah hadn’t contacted him proactively for a long time, and this was the first time.
Justin swallowed slightly, reaching into his pants pocket to take out his phone. Indeed, Leah had sent a message. It was a voice message.
Justin opened the voice message, and Davina, who had just reached the door, heard her own voice, Leah Thorne, I think you’re just a tease, always cheating, even with your brother...
Davina’s pupils contracted. This... these were the words she’d said in the bathroom about Leah, and Leah had recorded it and sent it directly to Justin!
That Leah Thorne was... ruthless!
Davina stiffly turned around, and in the next second, she saw Justin Xavier standing tall and handsome by the window, slowly raising his eyes. His gaze, deep as a cold pond, fell on her face.
With a "swoosh," the pretty color was drained from Davina’s face, leaving her deathly pale. "President... President Xavier, let me explain..."
Justin placed one hand in his pocket, standing back to the light, his expression very distant, "So you know my relationship with Leah Thorne?"
"I..."
"Since you know our relationship, who gave you the guts to go after her?"
"I..."
"Hah," a low, hoarse laugh rolled out from Justin’s throat. "I thought you were smart. Turns out you were as stupid as a pig. Now let me tell you, the one who likes to cheat is me; every day I keep her by my side, I want to cheat with her."
"Also, who allowed you to insult her? The girl I’ve cherished and raised, I’ve never even scolded her once. Even today, with her dancing in front of so many men, no matter how displeased I am, I wouldn’t show it or scold her Leah Thorne, you’re such a tease!"
