Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293

Josephine frowned. “What does Xay mean by that? Bryan is missing, and he doesn’t suspect something happened?”

Leona remembered how Xavier had warned her that day, even yelling at her, as if he wanted to

cover for Aveline’s scam.

Does he think Aveline tricked him, and he’ll look bad if it gets out?

Leona said, “Maybe Xavier wants Bryan to disappear too.”

Josephine was startled. “How could that be?

If Xav wants to convince the Patriarch to approve his divorce from Aveline, he needs Bryan to testify that she’s a liar.”

Leona, petting annoyed, asked her, “Is Bryan still not texting back?”

“Why don’t you try calling him again, or send another text.

Josephine nodded, and just as she was about to send a text, a message came back from Bryan.

I’m out of the country. I

Josephine and Leona looked at the message, shocked. Leona said, “Quick, ask him why he’s out of the country, and if Aveline told him to go.”

“Damn it. Whatever Aveline paid him, I’ll double it. I refuse to believe she has more money than I do.”

So Josephine asked Bryan, and he replied, “I can’t say anything, or I’ll never be able to come home.”

Leona took the phone and texted him herself, “Did Aveline force you to leave?”

“Whatever she gave you, I’ll double it ”

“By the way, this is Leona”

Bryan replied after a moment: “Ileiress, what do you want me to do?”

Leona: “I want you to tell the Patriarch who you really saw on the day of the accident.”

Bryan: “Tll think about it.”

Leona: “Name your price. I’ll give you whatever you want.

Bryan didn’t reply again.

Josephine asked Leona. “Do you think he’ll agree?”

Leona snorted. “Money makes the world go round. Everyone loves money.”

Josephine looked down, picked up her cup, and sipped her coffee, her eyes flickering. She said nothing more.

If Bryan was really abroad, then Xav must have been the one who sent him away.

Xav already seemed to believe Aveline wasn’t the one who saved him, so why was he still helping her cover up the lie?

Josephine suddenly felt like she didn’t understand Xavier anymore.

She had thought that by making the Zimmerman family suspect Aveline wasn’t Xavier’s savior and bringing Bryan into the picture, Xavier would use it as an opportunity to divorce Aveline.

But in the end, Xavier chose to keep covering it up.

Xavier was too distracted by Leona’s texts to focus on his paperwork. He called Amy in and

asked.

“Is everything okay on Bryan’s end?”

Amy replied, “I’ve spoken with him. He’ll stay put and won’t come back until you call for him.”

“He took the money, so he should do as he’s told.”

“But he said he could treat a year or two abroad like a vacation. Any longer, and I’m afraid he’ll get homesick ”

Xavier scoffed, “His wife already remarried. What home does he have to miss?”

“He just wants money. If he complains, just send him some more.

Amy nodded. She wanted to agree, but felt this wasn’t a real solution, so she ventured,

“Mr. Beltran, if we keep giving him money every time he asks, his demands will only get bigger.”

“When you sent him abroad, he asked me if something was wrong. He suspects there’s trouble, so he’ll use it as leverage to ask for money more oflen.”

Xavier said coolly, “Then what do you think we should do?”

Seeing Mr. Beltran ask for her opinion, Amy immediately replied, “Maybe you should have a proper talk with your wife?”

Xavier looked up at her, his eyes turning cold.

Amy understood. Mr. Beltran was warning her not to tell him how to do his job. She quickly lowered her eyes, showing she knew her place.

Xavier said flatly, “You can go.”

Amy had just left when the phone on the desk rang. It was a call from Rupert.

Xavier put down his pen, picked up the phone, and answered, “Hello, Patriarch.”

Rupert said in a heavy voice, “Christopher just called. He said he’s coming to the house tomorrow to discuss something with me.”

Hearing this, Xavier’s expression tightened, but he remained silent, listening for the Patriarch to

continue.

When he didn’t say anything, Rupert snorted, “You’ve probably guessed what Christopher is coming to talk to me about, haven’t you?”

Xavier said calmly, “How could I possibly guess?”

Rupert said angrily, “Don’t play dumb with me, you little brat.”
