CHAPTER 820: CHAPTER 820: DO YOU WANT ME TO SET YOU UP WITH A GUY?

This world-class Aston Martin luxury car exudes a low-key and restrained yet luxurious glow, making it particularly eye-catching on the midnight streets. Now the luxury car slowly stopped, the driver’s window slid down, revealing an incredibly handsome face — it was Justin Xavier.

Justin Xavier had arrived.

Leah Thorne was still holding Serena Sterling’s small hand. Seeing Justin Xavier, she showed no emotional fluctuation, but instead curled her charming red lips and obediently called out, "Brother~"

Today, Justin Xavier wore a well-fitted black suit. The superior fabric was pressed without a single crease, and his demeanor was indifferent and cold, making it hard for people to discern what he was thinking.

Now his gaze fell on Leah Thorne’s charming little face, "Where are you going? I’ll take you."

At this moment, a sweet female voice came from the luxury car, "Justin, who is it?"

Someone was in the passenger seat. It was Justin Xavier’s fiancé, Cecilia Pence.

Cecilia Pence was tall and graceful, very beautiful. Now she leaned her body over to have a look at Leah Thorne and Serena Sterling.

Justin Xavier’s face showed no expression as he lifted his thin lips, "My sister."

He said Leah Thorne was his sister.

"Oh, I’ve heard for a long time that you have a sister and that she’s the current hot star in the entertainment industry, Leah Thorne. So it’s true," Cecilia Pence looked at Justin Xavier with admiration and infatuation in her eyes. She then turned to the car outside, "Hello, Leah. I’m Cecilia Pence."

Leah Thorne tilted her cute head and looked at Cecilia Pence, blinking playfully, "Oh, it’s sister-in-law. Hello, sister-in-law."

Being called "sister-in-law" made Cecilia Pence immediately show a shy expression. She even gave Justin Xavier a glance.

Justin Xavier didn’t look at her. His hand, wearing an expensive watch, rested on the steering wheel, and his gaze remained on Leah Thorne.

Cecilia Pence paused for a moment. Sometimes a woman’s sixth sense is the most accurate. As she liked Justin Xavier very much, she naturally sent people to investigate everything about him long ago.

So Cecilia Pence knew that Justin Xavier had a sister, but this sister wasn’t biologically related. Everyone in the city knew how much Justin Xavier doted on this sister, almost to a pathological extent.

Now, he kept watching Leah Thorne. From the moment Leah appeared, he never took his eyes off her.

Cecilia Pence quickly said, "Leah, where are you and your friend going? Justin and I can give you a ride."

Leah Thorne shook her head, "Thank you, sister-in-law. We’ll take a taxi. We don’t want to be a third wheel to you and brother."

Cecilia Pence just said this casually and didn’t really mean to give Leah a ride. Now that Leah refused, she was about to pretend to say goodbye, but before she could, she heard Justin Xavier’s low and magnetic voice saying, "It’s hard to get a taxi here. Don’t fuss, get in the car."

Cecilia Pence froze. The man next to her said "don’t fuss" in a very strong and domineering tone, which could be seen as an elder brother talking to his sister, but... this phrase coming from Justin Xavier gave the illusion of a man commanding his woman.

Leah Thorne looked at the location here and stopped being pretentious, "Alright then, thank you, brother and sister-in-law. Serena, let’s get in the car."

Leah Thorne and Serena Sterling got into the back seat.

...

The Aston Martin smoothly sped down the road, and Justin Xavier drove without looking sideways. The atmosphere in the luxury car was very quiet, yet there was a strange air flowing through the silence.

Then Cecilia Pence broke the silence, "Leah, you’re 24 years old this year, right? Do you have any boyfriends?"

"Not yet. I’ve been busy with work these years and have a tight schedule. There are also many paparazzi watching me, so I haven’t had the chance to have a boyfriend. If you know anyone suitable, sister-in-law, please introduce him to me." Leah said.

Cecilia Pence nodded happily, "Sure, I’ll definitely keep an eye out for you. Justin, you’re not doing your duty. You have so many CEOs around you, you should also worry about the lifelong matters of your sister."

Cecilia Pence playfully glanced at Justin Xavier beside her.

Justin Xavier raised his head, his cold eyes looking at the back at Leah Thorne through the rearview mirror.

Magenta is a color that’s hard for women to pull off, but Leah’s red lips and white teeth, with her picturesque brows, managed this magenta perfectly. Her charming little face was accentuated to an astonishing beauty.

Justin Xavier’s eyes darkened, his Adam’s apple moved, "Leah, do you want me to introduce a man to you, huh?"

Leah Thorne met his gaze, "Of course I do, and brother, you have to introduce me to a good one. I want someone handsome, well-built, who listens to me and can make me happy."

Justin Xavier softly withdrew his gaze, pulling his thin lips into a darkly mocking, sarcastic smile, then let out a light scoff, "Heh."

Heh.

With that sound, the barely maintained atmosphere in the car instantly dropped to the lowest point.

Luckily, they soon reached the destination, and Leah Thorne and Serena Sterling got off the car.

The two best friends walked together, and Serena Sterling, who hadn’t spoken all along, tugged at Leah Thorne’s sleeve and whispered, "President Xavier’s car hasn’t left yet, he’s watching you, Cecilia Pence is still there, he’s really acting without any regard."

Leah Thorne didn’t turn back. The smile that hung on her small face slowly cooled down, and she spoke lazily and indifferently, "He’s fearless. It’s not like he can’t find another wife. If this wife runs away, the next one will come. Serena, don’t pay attention to him. He’s just a madman."

...

In the Aston Martin luxury car, Justin Xavier kept watching Leah Thorne enter the apartment before he retracted his gaze. He stepped on the accelerator, and the luxury car sped down the road again.

Cecilia Pence looked at him, trying hard to smile, "Justin, Leah is really beautiful, even more beautiful than in the TV and magazines. They say Leah is the current pinnacle of beauty in the entertainment industry, seeing it today, it’s indeed well-deserved."

Justin Xavier was focused on driving, treating it as if he was listening to nonsense. Doesn’t he know if she’s beautiful or not?

"But Justin, I also heard some bad rumors, don’t get angry. I heard... Leah entered the entertainment industry too smoothly. She has top-notch teams around her, some top resources don’t even need her teams to fight for, they’re personally offered, so... everyone’s guessing... guessing... there’s a big backer behind Leah."

Cecilia Pence said while observing Justin Xavier’s complexion, "This backer isn’t a good term. People say that most female stars in the entertainment industry now have backers, backers who provide money and effort, and all they need to do is... sleep with them."

Sleep with them?

The term "sleep with them" was used with much nuance. Cecilia Pence thought Justin Xavier would get angry, but saw that when Justin heard these words, he subtly raised an eyebrow, inexplicably exuding a bit of a wicked rogue charm, even curving his thin lips into a playful arc.
