Aveline said coldly, “It’s a case I’m guaranteed to win. Why should I drop it?

Let go, Mr. Beltran. You don’t want to make a scene in your own hotel, do you?”

“Auntie.”

Just then, Valentina walked into the dining room, led by Helena.

Xavier let go of Aveline’s hand.

Valentina ran up to Aveline. “Good morning, Auntie. Why are you up so early?

Did you go running with Uncle?”

Aveline patted her head. “Auntie has to go back to the city. I’ve already had breakfast. You take your time and eat. I’m leaving now.”

Valentina’s face fell with disappointment. “Oh, if you’re leaving, who’s going to play with me?”

“Auntie hasn’t seen my maternal grandparents for a few days and needs to go visit them.”

Just then, Xavier said, “Alright, Valentina, stop bothering your aunt. Come sit down and have breakfast.”

Valentina nodded reluctantly. “Okay then. Goodbye, pretty Auntie.”

Aveline stroked Valentina’s head again, then turned and left without looking back.

As soon as she left the dining room, she saw Josephine, Courtney, and Jacob walking over.

When they saw Aveline, their smiling faces hardened, and they glared at her.

Jacob pointed at Aveline. “You, come here.”

Aveline ignored him and walked straight toward the hotel entrance.

Jacob tried to go after Aveline, but the hotel manager appeared from nowhere and stopped him.

“Mr. Sutton, Gabriel, Ms. Sutton, good morning.

Are you heading to the buffet for breakfast?

Mr. Beltran is already inside.”

Aveline saw it all, a smirk playing on her lips.

The manager was probably afraid they would start a fight in the hotel lobby and ruin the hotel’s image.

Chapter 207

Once in the car, Aveline took her phone out of her purse and called Fiona.

The phone rang for a bit before Fiona answered, her voice sounding like she had just woken up.

“Hello, Aveline? Why so carly? You’re interrupting my beauty sleep.”

Aveline just then realized it was Saturday, and there was no way Fiona would be up this carly.

“Oh, I’m sorry, Fiona. I forgot. I woke you up.‘

Fiona replied, “It’s fine. You must have something urgent to call me this carly. Go ahead, tell me.”

Aveline’s matter wasn’t actually that urgent; she could have told Fiona after she got back to the city.

But since she had already woken her up, she might as well say it.

“Whoa, you really slapped Josephine and then pushed her out the door, making her fall?”

Fiona’s voice was clear and excited, as if she was completely awake now.

“Yes.”

“Attagirl! Awesome! That’s great, Aveline! You finally did something. I’m going to have a Commendation Bamer made for you.”

Aveline chuckled. “I bet Josephine won’t take this lying down. She’ll probably sue me.”

Fiona replied, “Based on what you said, don’t worry. It’s a lawsuit she can’t win.”

“But I slapped her. It might leave fingerprints or other DNA traces on her face.”

Fiona asked, “Did you hit her hard?”

“Not hard. I just wanted to humiliate her, so I didn’t hit her hard enough to make her face red and swollen. I was afraid it would show up on the surveillance cameras.”

“If Josephine really goes for a forensic examination, I plan to argue that she grabbed my hand and hit her own face with it, then stumbled out and pretended to fall.”

Fiona laughed. “Nice. It looks like you really thought this through before you slapped her.”

“Anyway, it was in the room, where the cameras can’t see. The judge can’t rule in her favor. After all, she was the one who followed you into your room. She was in the wrong.”

Hearing Fiona completely agree with her strategy, Aveline breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like it was foolproof.

“I’m heading back to the city now to see my maternal grandparents. If you’re free, let’s have dinner together.”

“Sure. Just contact me whenever you get there.”

Aveline had also wanted to tell Fiona about the divorce agreement, but when she saw Xavier arriving at the parking lot holding Valentina’s hand, she hung up.

Chapter 207

Xavier and Valentina watched from a distance as Aveline’s blue Porsche drove away,

Valentina shook Xavier’s hand. “Auntie wasn’t gone after all.”

Xavier gave a faint “Mm.”

Just then, Josephine’s voice came from behind them. “Valentina, where are you going to play?”

Valentina turned around, saw it was Josephine, and didn’t answer her. Instead, she looked up at Xavier and said in a low voice:

“Uncle, I don’t want Aunt Josie to ride in our car.”
