Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318

Maybe if I tell him, he’ll feel guilty and get the painting back for you?”

Aveline fell silent.

If Xavier had given the painting to anyone else, not Josephine, she wouldn’t have been this angry.

“Aveline?”

Aveline replied to Fiona, “My mom probably sold that painting years ago. Xavier bought it, so it belongs to him. He’s free to give it to whoever he wants.”

“It’s not mine, so there’s no question of getting it back.”

“I’m just angry and hurt that he gave it to Josephine.”

Fiona sighed, “Fine. But whether he gets it back from Josephine or not, we have to tell him.”

“If he’s mad you yelled at him and wants to know why, then tell him.”

“If he has any conscience, he’ll get the painting back.”

“That’s it. I’m telling him now.”

Then, as if afraid Aveline would stop her, Fiona immediately hung up.

Then, without a moment’s delay, Fiona called Xavier.

Xavier was still sitting in the living room, holding his phone, his face cold and grim as he waited

for news.

He had even prepared himself for the possibility of not hearing anything.

The moment the phone rang, it was as if a nerve had been struck, and Xavier’s body twitched slightly.

Lauren opened the living room door. “Xavier, dinner’s ready. Come on out.”

Xavier waved his hand. “Got it. I need to take a call first.”

Lauren was displeased. “Are you still not done talking to Aveline?

What does she want now?”

Xavier walked over, closed the door, and then answered the phone. “Hello.

Fiona complained, “Took you long enough to answer. Feeling guilty?”

“Cut the crap. What’s going on?”

“Let me ask you, that painting from Mr. Jenkins‘ collection you traded a multi–million dollar villa for–that was Aveline’s mother’s, right?”

Xavier hadn’t expected this question and froze for a moment.

Before he could answer, Fiona, seeing his hesitation, snapped, “Guilty, aren’t you?”

“You’re such an asshole. Mr. Jenkins already sold the painting that night. He was too embarrassed to say it, and you played dumb.”

“Are you out of your mind? Spending all that money to buy Aveline’s mother’s painting, only to give it to the daughter of the other woman who wrecked her family? Don’t you think Aveline has every right to curse you out?”

Xavier sighed. “Is this all about that?”

Fiona got angry. “All about that?

You still think it’s not a big deal, don’t you?”

“Damn it, Xavier…”

Xavier cut her off irritably. “Stop talking like that all the time. Aveline is starting to pick it up from you.”

Fiona:

“Damn it.”

Xavier: ”

This is just endless.

“Fiona, let me tell you, that’s not what happened. I do have one of Aveline’s mother’s oil paintings, but I didn’t give it to anyone.”

“Or rather, I was planning to give it away, but the time wasn’t right.”

“I know Aveline doesn’t like Josephine. Why would I give her mother’s painting to Josephine?”

Fiona didn’t believe him. She thought Xavier was just making excuses. If Aveline wouldn’t let it go and complained to the Patriarch, he could just get it back from Josephine and claim he never gave it to her in the first place.

“Aveline wouldn’t accuse you for no reason. If you want to blame someone, blame Josephine for not being able to resist showing off. Otherwise, Aveline would never have known you could do something like this.”

Xavier was confused. “Showing off what?

The painting is still in my study.”

Fiona snorted and forwarded the photo from Marjorie’s Social Feed to Xavier. “See for yourself.”

Xavier opened WhatsApp to look, and his expression immediately turned cold.

It was all trouble caused by that photo Leona took.

He said coldly, “Don’t hang up. Wait.”

With that, he walked over, opened the door, and went out.

Rupert, Lauren, and Valentina saw him come out and looked at him.

Seeing his grim expression, the Patriarch asked, “Did you argue with Aveline again?”

Lauren frowned. “Why is Aveline always bothering you, never giving you any peace?”

“She ran off to Mount Ardwood, isn’t taking care of you, and she’s always fighting with you and upsetting you. It’s just improper.”

Xavier replied to his mother, “It’s not Aveline, it’s Fiona.”

But Fiona had already heard what his mother said. “Your mom really doesn’t like Aveline, does she? Tell me, do you often complain about Aveline to your mom?”

Xavier retorted, “Don’t make assumptions and accuse me.”
