Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 497

The woman immediately flinched, lowering her head and not daring to look at Xavier.

Marcus saw it all and said with a laugh, “She’s the sister of a partner. Xavier, don’t scare her off.”

Xavier said coldly, “She looks pretty bold to me. I doubt she’s easily scared.”

With that, he walked inside, no longer wanting to deal with Marcus.

Once Xavier was out of earshot, Marcus’s expression turned stern and he scolded the woman, “How many times have I told you not to be so handsy in public?”

The woman pouted. “I know, I know. Let’s just go inside.”

“He’s just your brother–in–law, not your wife. Look at you, all scared.

With a dark expression, Marcus grumbled to himself that this brother–in–law of his was much scarier than his wife.

As Xavier went upstairs, he said to Amy, “Find out who that woman is.

Amy nodded and said okay.

Ryan, who was nearby, heard this and complained internally about how unlucky Marcus was to have his brother–in–law catch him getting cozy with another woman.

Xavier entered the private dining room. Leonard had already arrived. They shook hands, exchanged greetings, and then took their seats at the table.

Toward the end of the meal, Leonard had his assistant take out a bag of traditional health tonics, saying it was for Rupert, and asked:

“How has the Patriarch’s health been lately?

If I didn’t have to rush back to Singapore first thing tomorrow morning, I would definitely go and pay him my respects.”

Xavier replied, “He’s in robust health, doing quite well.”

Leonard nodded. “That’s good, that’s good. Your assistant mentioned a family member of yours was injured, so I thought…”

Xavier listened and realized Leonard had misunderstood, thinking it was Rupert who was unwell, which was why he had forgotten the morning meeting.

He lowered his eyes and tapped the table lightly, a hint of a smile on his lips as he said, “My wife hurt her foot.”

Leonard was stunned for a moment, then said, “Oh, I sec.

It’s not serious, I hope?”

Xavier replied, “It’s not serious. A few days of rest and she’ll be fine.”

After dinner, Xavier and his group left the private dining room. On their way downstairs, they ran into the woman who had been cozy with Marcus at the entrance.

Xavier gave her a faint, dark glance without breaking his stride, but the woman boldly spoke up.

“Mr. Beltran, I’m just close with Alex, please don’t get the wrong idea. I only think of Alex as an

older brother.”

Leonard paused, confused, looking back and forth between the woman and Xavier.

Xavier paid her no mind, not even giving her a single glance as he continued straight downstairs.

After they got in the car, Amy said to Xavier, “Mr. Beltran, I’ve looked into it. She is, in fact, the sister of the owner of the partner company.”

“Here’s the information.”

Amy handed a piece of paper to Xavier in the back seat.

Xavier took it, just glanced at it without reading it closely, and asked, “She said she knows Marcus pretty well. How well, exactly?”

Amy replied, “Alex has been sourcing from this supplier for years.”

“That woman is the factory’s HR manager.”

Xavier didn’t say anything else. He decided to give the document to Lauren so she could pass it to Leona.

He couldn’t be bothered with Leona’s affairs.

He glanced at the time, picked up his phone, and texted Aveline, “What are you up to? Reading?”

He knew Aveline had a habit of reading before bed.

But Xavier didn’t get a reply from Aveline, even after he got back to the Beltran’s mansion.

Rupert and Lauren were watching TV in the living room. Xavier handed Lauren the file Amy had given him on the woman.

“I ran into Marcus at the Granvia Restaurant tonight. There was a woman with him who was a little too close. I had Amy look into it. You should show this to Leona and tell her to be careful.”

Lauren took it, surprised. “What do you mean? Is Marcus cheating?”

Rupert also looked over at Xavier, frowning slightly.

Xavier replied to Lauren, “I mean Leona should pay attention, instead of just meddling in my business and ignoring her own.”

Rupert said, “I told you to talk to Leona last time. Didn’t you?”

Lauren replied, “Leona hasn’t been over recently. How could I have had a chance to talk to her?”
