Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 396

Chapter 396

But Xavier is the one in charge of the. How can he let his emotions rule him?

“Xavier, do you have even a shred of belief that Aveline wouldn’t lie to you?”

Xavier was silent for a long moment, then said, “Grandpa, if Aveline really did lie to me, maybe there’s a reason. Give me some time, and I’ll figure out what’s going on.”

“Hmph. How long has it been since your accident? What have you figured out?”

“I will ask Aveline myself. I will contact her myself.

Now get out. Let me think things through in peace.”

Xavier got up and walked to the door. Rupert suddenly said:

“What Barry did was wrong, but he was your father’s driver. He was with your dad for many years, helping him with his work. He was very competent and loyal.

He’s at that age now. We can’t just send him away. That wouldn’t be right.”

“Let him stay at the Beltran’s mansion to help me. When he turns sixty and can collect his pension, we’ll give him a sum of money, and then he can retire.”

Xavier said flatly, “I wasn’t planning on doing anything to him anyway. Your arrangement is very good.”

“Mm, very good. You can go. Call Barry in.”

As soon as Xavier left the study, he saw his mother in the hallway, staring anxiously at the study door.

Seeing him come out, Lauren hurried over. “Xavier, Rupert didn’t scold you, did he?”

Xavier smiled. “Mom, so what if Grandpa scolds me a little? He’s lived a lot longer than I have, he has the right to

teach me a lesson.”

“Don’t be so scared every time Rupert lectures me. If he didn’t approve of me, how could he let me run the?”

Lauren shot him an annoyed look. “I’m worried about you, and you’re making fun of me.”

“Let me ask you, what exactly is going on? Who really saved you?”

Xavier’s expression turned cold. “Did you ask our older sister to find Bryan?”

“Why are you being so unreasonable? How did you start suspecting Aveline?”

Lauren pressed her lips together, hesitating whether to mention Aunt.

Seeing her like this, Xavier thought she was trying to protect Leona and said, “Aveline was the one who saved me. Don’t ask again.”

“You’ve met Jacob’s illegitimate daughter, haven’t you?”

Barry nodded. “I have.”

Rupert said with a grim face, “Her mother was Jacob’s mistress. Right after Aveline’s mother died, Jacob let that mother and daughter move in. The mother must have been quite a woman.”

“Josephine is no simple girl either. Do a thorough check on her.”

Barry thought for a moment, then asked, “Patriarch, is it that you don’t believe Aveline lied to Mr. Beltran?”

Rupert pondered for a moment. “It’s not a matter of not believing it. It’s that I don’t want it to be true.”

“That girl, Aveline… I shouldn’t have been wrong about her.”

“Aveline is a good girl. Xavier wouldn’t have fallen for her otherwise. Xavier must have done a thorough background check, but the evidence he found points to Aveline tricking him.”

“This whole thing is too weird. Xavier is still young and hasn’t been through much. Maybe he missed something, so I have to look into it again, carefully.”

“Yes, Patriarch. I’ll investigate it carefully.”
