Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 539

Chapter 539

Jacob picked up his tea, took a few sips, and said, “This tea is good, but not as good as the tea from Aveline’s grandfather Collin’s collection. I’ll go over and get a canister for you another day, so you can taste some truly fine tea.”

Xavier listened and gave a slight, contemptuous laugh.

The idea of Jacob getting into the home of Aveline’s maternal grandparents, let alone obtaining tea from Collin’s collection, was utterly absurd.

Jacob didn’t know what to make of Xavier’s laugh, it just felt odd, but he couldn’t be bothered to think about it and said:

“Xavier, on Friday, Josie and her mom are helping me throw a birthday party at my place. You, the Patriarch, your mom, and your two older sisters and their families should all come join the fun.”

Xavier said calmly, “Did you tell Aveline?”

Jacob replied, “Not yet. Telling you is the same thing.

wife now, she goes The invitation will be sent to the Beltran’s mansion today. Aveline is your where you go. I sent the invitation to the, so she’ll naturally come with you all, heh heh, right?”

Xavier’s eyes grew cold. “So, because Aveline married me, she’s not a Sutton anymore? She’s not your daughter?”

Jacob was startled. He remembered he still needed to bring up that project as Aveline’s father, so he quickly chuckled and said:

“Just kidding, just kidding. No matter who Aveline marries, even if it’s a prince, she’s still my daughter, still a Sutton.‘

“If she were to change her last name, I wouldn’t allow it.”

Xavier was silent and indifferent. He reached for the cup on the coffee table to his right, took a sip of tea, and then said flatly, “You came just for this?”

Jacob noticed Xavier was much colder to him than before and wondered if it was because of his fight with Josephine.

He said, “Ah, there’s something else. That Eastwood Park project, you know about it, right?”

Xavier kept track of all government projects, so of course he knew Eastwood Park was up for bidding. He just gave a faint “mm.”

“What about that project?”

“Xavier, what do you think? My company can handle that project, right?”

Xavier understood. Jacob’s real reason for coming to see him today was to get his help in securing that project.

It was an easy thing to do. Given the size of Jacob’s company, it was capable of handling it. If there were any difficulties, the could also provide assistance.

The question was what Aveline wanted–whether she hoped he would help Jacob get the project. In the past, for something like this, Jacob would have definitely sent Josephine to talk to him. As his father–in–law, he would never have lost face by coming to ask for a favor in person.

It seemed she had gone home and told them what he’d said to Josephine last night. It probably scared Jacob and Courtney, which was why Jacob didn’t even dare to mention Josephine, only Aveline.

Xavier didn’t agree right away, nor did he refuse. He said, “I’m not very familiar with this project. I’ll ask around.”

When Jacob heard this, he felt he had a chance. Courtney was right–he shouldn’t mention Josephine, only Aveline.

“Good, you can look into it first. It’s just a small project, a word from you is all it takes.”

Xavier said, “I have a meeting. I’ll have an assistant see you out.”

Jacob stood up. “Okay, you get back to your work. An assistant can see me out.”

Xavier walked to his desk, pressed the intercom, and told Ryan to arrange for an assistant to see Jacob out.

Jacob felt that Xavier was still showing him enough respect as his father–in–law. He was in a good mood as he left, a smile on his face.

Once he got to his car in the parking lot, he immediately called Courtney to tell her what had happened.

Courtney didn’t sound happy. She asked, “He didn’t agree? He just said he wasn’t familiar with it and would ask around?”

Jacob replied, “Right. After all, he wouldn’t pay attention to a small project like this. He definitely needs to look into it to know who to talk to.”

Courtney said irritably, “I’m not in business, but even I know the government is building a park in Eastwood. The Beltran Group definitely knows about it, which department handles it, and who to contact. You’re the businessman, yet you’re more clueless than I am.”
