# Chapter 485: A Dangerous Conversation Behind Closed Doors
Hello everyone, it’s me again! How are you all doing? I hope you’re ready for another rollercoaster of emotions because today, I’m taking you deep into the heart of Chapter 485 of *The Untouchable Ex Wife*. And let me tell you—this chapter will have you holding your breath. Two women, one secret room, and enough unresolved anger to fill a stadium. Let’s step inside before the sparks fly.

The atmosphere in the private lounge was electric with hostility. Shirley’s fans surrounded her like a protective wall, their eyes burning with suspicion as they glared at Leia, who stood there with unshakable confidence. If Leia felt intimidated by the hostile crowd, she definitely didn’t show it. Instead, she rolled her eyes—slowly, deliberately, as if she were speaking to someone not worth the strain of a real conversation.
“You need to get something straight,” Leia said, her voice cutting through the murmurs. “I’m fearless, so I don’t need protection. And I wouldn’t have come in here if I thought I was in any real danger. I’m here to sincerely negotiate with you.”
Shirley’s agent quietly caught her client’s eye, a silent warning passing between them. Shirley pressed her lips together, weighing her choices. Then, with a controlled smile, she turned toward her fans.
“Fine. Let’s talk in the inner room,” Shirley announced, gesturing gracefully toward a doorway at the back. She waved at her fans and gave them that warm, practiced smile she was known for. “Go ahead and enjoy yourselves. I’ll settle this and come out right away.”
But Shirley’s fans weren’t having it. They surged forward, their voices frantic with worry.
“No! Don’t go with her. This woman is cunning—you’ll be bullied!”
“You don’t have to be polite with such a shameless woman. She should be the one kneeling down and apologizing to you!”
Shirley’s agent stepped in, trying to pacify the crowd with smooth words. “Calm down, everyone. Shirley will be fine. Just let them talk privately. And if anything happens to her, we can always get revenge for her later.”
That seemed to settle the fans. Though a few of them shot death glares at Leia’s back, the group reluctantly let the two women disappear into the inner room.
The room was spacious enough for its purpose—a small, private space of about eight or nine square meters, normally reserved for couples seeking isolated moments away from prying eyes. But today, no romance would blossom here. The moment Shirley closed the door behind them, the already dim air grew heavy, charged like a storm about to break.
Shirley didn’t bother with pleasantries. She sank onto the small sofa, crossed her legs elegantly, and fixed Leia with an expression colder than the winter wind.
“What would you like to talk about?”
Leia didn’t sit. She stood right in front of Shirley, arms loose at her sides but fingers curling into fists beneath her sleeves. She was struggling to keep calm, and it showed only in the tightness of her jaw.
“I want to ask if you still like Xavier and if you want to be with him.”
Shirley’s face twitched, the words striking something raw beneath her composed surface. For a moment, the mask of calmness cracked, revealing a twisted, jealous mask underneath—a mirror image of Renee, yet so different in every meaningful way.
“Why are you asking?” Shirley snapped, her voice dripping with venom. “Did you come here to humiliate me now that you’ve won and Xavier is fawning over you?”
She laughed bitterly, her features contorting with hatred. “Listen, you haven’t won just because you’re his current obsession. As long as you and Xavier aren’t married, I still have plenty of ways to make him come crawling back to me. So don’t get too smug, little girl.”
Leia’s smile bore no warmth. “Really? You think you can make him go back to you?”
“Yes!” Shirley’s voice rose, almost cracking. She leaned forward, her eyes wild. “Do you think he really cares that much about you? If he did, don’t you think he would have sought revenge for you when my fans bullied you online? You remember what happened—the hatred, the relentless hate campaign against you. Did Xavier lift a single finger to protect you? No! But when he was trying to promote me? Oh, he was so diligent. He always banned my enemies when they exposed my past. Isn’t it obvious? He doesn’t care about you the way he cared about me!”
The words should have stung. And to be honest, something inside Leia did sting—a small, painful flutter of jealousy at hearing how Xavier had once doted on Shirley. But she refused to sink to that level. Instead, she let the words wash over her, finding steady ground in the truth she already knew.
Indeed, Xavier had helped promote Shirley aggressively, and the entire entertainment industry was aware of it. Rumors had flown with headlines dubbing Xavier the ‘top kiss-ass in Beach City’ because of how publicly he fawned over Shirley, handling her career like a precious jewel and shielding her from any backlash. It was old news. Ancient history. And that was exactly why Leia managed to stay calm.
“Anyone with eyes and a data plan already knows how much Xavier used to dote on you,” Leia said, her tone disturbingly serene. “But that’s all in the past. He doesn’t care about you anymore. And if what I’ve heard is right, it looks like he’s planning to suspend you from work entirely.”
Shirley’s expression flickered—something unreadable flashing across her features. Panic? Denial? Fear? She opened her mouth, ready to spit back a retort, but Leia wasn’t finished yet. The power had shifted in that tiny room, and for the first time since the door closed, Shirley looked like a cornered animal rather than Hollywood’s darling.

And that, my friends, is where the chapter leaves us—in the smoking wreckage of a confrontation that just turned from a catfight into a cold, calculated power play. Leia isn’t the naive woman Shirley expected. She’s armed with more certainty than anger, and her final words hung in the air like a guillotine blade.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating**
As a reader, I absolutely loved the tension in this scene! There’s something so cathartic about seeing Leia stand her ground while Shirley’s glamorous facade crumbles more with every line. Shirley keeps bringing up the past, trying to provoke jealousy, but Leia’s unshakeable calm is a quiet victory in itself. The little glimpse of Leia’s internal ache shows she’s human, but she doesn’t let old wounds blind her—that’s growth, and it’s satisfying. Definitely one of the more memorable showdowns in this book.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8/5 Stars.

**Next Chapter Prediction**
Now that Leia has dropped the bombshell about Xavier potentially suspending Shirley, the next chapter is bound to explode with reaction. Shirley will likely panic and either double down on her scheme to win Xavier back or spiral into reckless actions that expose her true nature. Meanwhile, I predict Xavier will step in soon—not to protect Shirley, but to finally clarify his position in no uncertain terms. Could this also be the moment Leia’s own hidden identity starts unraveling? Stay tuned—the storm is far from over!
