Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 875: Be His Little Pet

Old Master Xavier trusts Justin Xavier, and it’s precisely because he’s Justin Xavier that he believes in him.

If it were any other man, he might not be able to resist Leah Thorne’s allure, but Justin Xavier’s affection for Leah is genuine. However, his inner rationality and vigilance are unparalleled, as is his restraint.

How many years has Leah known Justin Xavier, ten years?

Yet, he has known Justin Xavier for a full 29 years, as Justin grew up by his side.

He would not misjudge a person.

...

The man in black who hit Nanny Diaz was caught. He admitted his mistake, saying he was out jogging, ran too quickly, and accidentally hit someone, leading to a few years’ sentence.

This outcome was within Leah’s expectations, and she wasn’t surprised. She simply arranged Nanny Diaz’s funeral and contacted her descendants to give them a large sum of money.

Today is the opening day of the Phoenix Plume Pavilion, which is packed with VIPs. Serena and Leah stand upstairs and soon see someone familiar.

In the VIP section downstairs, Justin Xavier arrived, accompanied by the young actress Davina Rowe.

Today, Justin wore a black wool coat, his handsome face framed by gold-rimmed glasses. Surrounded by several powerful figures, he engaged in business discussions, one hand in his pocket, the other casually tapping ash from his cigarette into an ashtray. His cold and relaxed demeanor was quite captivating.

Even Serena had to admit that Justin Xavier was a born businessman. Though the Xavier family initially rose to prominence thanks to the Thorne family, it was only in Justin’s hands that they truly reached the pinnacle, with Justin becoming the richest man in Bayside.

Davina, meanwhile, was surrounded by several socialites, who looked at her enviously at Justin Xavier’s latest interest.

"Davina, you’re dating President Xavier? You’re so lucky!"

"President Xavier dated quite a few girlfriends before, but you’re the first one he’s brought out in public, which means something!"

"Wow, Davina, is that a ruby necklace you’re wearing? That ruby necklace was auctioned off a few days ago. I was there! I’ve liked it for a long time and wanted to buy it, but a mysterious bidder snagged it. I had no idea it would end up around your neck."

"Oh my, is that really the ruby necklace? Davina, let us touch it! Touching it is like touching money itself!"

With such compliments, Davina felt as if she could soar. That night when Justin brought Leah in, he had her kicked out. She was left in shock, utterly embarrassed, and worried about her uncertain future.

She feared Justin would tire of her, casting her from a favored to a forgotten lover, from paradise to hell.

But the next morning, Justin’s secretary knocked on her door and delivered her the ruby necklace.

As a rising young actress, Davina had seen plenty of luxury goods lately. She knew at first glance that this ruby necklace was priceless.

Everyone knew that Justin Xavier was extravagantly generous, especially with the women who had been with him.

Justin knew how to make money and how to spend it, living an extremely luxurious life.

Davina turned her head, her wide eyes furtively glancing at Justin Xavier’s handsome profile.

The executives around teased, "President Xavier, is that your new favorite? She’s looking at you with eyes that seem like they want to devour you. Haha."

Justin Xavier turned his gaze toward Davina.

Although this look was for Davina, the ripples of his gaze were successfully received by the socialites around her, who gasped in delight, covering their mouths and their fluttering hearts with their hands.

President Xavier looked at me!

I don’t care, President Xavier looked at me!

Justin Xavier only looked at Davina. He brought the cigarette to his lips, took a drag, and as he exhaled, pointed at Davina with the hand holding the smoldering cigarette, summoning her over with the authoritative gesture of calling a cherished pet.

Wow~

The socialites thought Justin Xavier was unbelievably handsome!

President Xavier, I want to be your little pet too!

Davina immediately beamed, skipping over to Justin Xavier’s side, linking her arm with his muscular one like a bird snuggling into its nest.

Davina was indeed happy because the socialites were right. Previous girlfriends of Justin Xavier were only captured by reporters, but he never brought them to public events, and she was the first.

This also proved that Justin Xavier indeed favored her.

Looking at the influential figures surrounding Justin Xavier now, her heart fluttered, as these were people she had only seen on TV or in magazines. If it weren’t for Justin Xavier, she might never have met them in person in her lifetime.

Her eyes quickly lit up, having spotted the renowned Director Shaw among them.

This talented director’s movies were always major productions and masterpieces, attracting the top actors in the country fighting for roles, even willing to cameo for free.

In her current position, Davina couldn’t reach Director Shaw, but now, the opportunity had come.

"Director Shaw, hello." Davina greeted happily.

Out of respect for Justin Xavier, Director Shaw responded politely, "Davina Rowe? I heard you’re quite the rising star lately. Nice to meet you."

"Director Shaw, I’m a big fan of your work. I’ve watched every one of your movies repeatedly. I heard you’re preparing a new Republican-era film. Could I have a chance to work with you?"

Davina had long set her sights on Director Shaw’s new film. This Republican-era movie boasted a huge investment, aimed directly at winning awards, and was currently in the casting stage, creating a buzz throughout the entertainment industry.

Davina hoped to take a shortcut, using her connection with Justin Xavier to secure the lead female role in this new film.

"Well..." Director Shaw hesitated, glancing at Justin Xavier.

Davina knew that as long as Justin said the word, she would land the role, so she looked at the man beside her with adoring eyes, "President Xavier, I really want to be in Director Shaw’s movie~"

Justin took a drag on his cigarette, saying nothing as smoke obscured the expression on his face.

"Miss Carter," the producer nearby interjected, "perhaps you’re unaware, but the lead female role in the new Republican-era movie has already been decided. It’s... Leah Thorne."

What?

Leah Thorne?

Hearing this name again, Davina was stunned into immobility.

At this moment, Justin Xavier slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke. His cold eyes fixed on Davina’s beautiful, tender face, he wore a half-smile, "You want to take Leah Thorne’s role?"
