Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 616

Leona frowned slightly, “You’ve been with Xavier for years, and he’s always trusted you. For him to send you to another department over something so small, I don’t know what Xavier was thinking.”

“Alright, I’ll ask him. If I have to, I’ll talk to the Patriarch and get you transferred to another department, find you a suitable position.”

Claude was overjoyed and quickly said, “Thank you, the Heiress.”

Josephine looked up at him but didn’t speak, though she knew Claude was a man who knew how to seize an opportunity.

Besides, he was probably already disappointed in her.

Josephine and Leona left the Executive Office, got to the car in the parking lot, and Josephine texted her mom,

[Xavier isn’t at the office. He went to the UK for a business trip.]

At the Sutton family home, Courtney, who had been leaning back on the sofa, sat up straight the moment she received the message.

[The UK?

His assistant told you?]

Josephine replied, [It was Leo. Ryan wouldn’t tell us.]

Courtney’s expression turned grim as she stood up and began pacing around the living room.

Xavier going to the UK… was it really just for business?

Courtney picked up her phone and called that person.

The person on the other end took a while to answer. “What is it?”

“I heard Xavier went to England this afternoon. Isn’t the doctor who drew my daughter’s blood back then in England?”

The person was silent for a moment, then said, “The Beltran Group has business in England. It’s

Courtney said. “What if it’s not a business trip? What if he found out my daughter lied to him and he’s gone to England to question that doctor?”

The person replied, “That doctor doesn’t know anything. The hospital director only asked her to perform an unauthorized blood donation procedure and didn’t let her in on anything else.”

Courtney breathed a small sigh of relief. “Are

you sure?”

“If Eric knew about you and me, I wouldn’t be letting her live so freely abroad.”

Although Courtney was less worried, she still warned, “You’d better be sure Xavier didn’t go England to find that doctor, or we’ll be in trouble.”

The person grew impatient. “Didn’t I already tell you? Eric has no idea someone instructed the director to bend the rules. She just thought the director wanted to save Xavier.”

“Alright, fine. I was just worried something might go wrong.

I’m hanging up.”

After hanging up, Courtney heard Jacob’s voice from behind her. “What happened?”

to

Courtney jumped and turned around, annoyed. “You scared me. I’m pregnant. Can you not sneak up behind me like that?”

Jacob put down his briefcase and frowned. “Are you okay?”

Courtney glared at him. “I’m fine, but don’t do that again.”

Jacob looked her over. “I wasn’t sneaking around. I came home just like I always do. You were just on the phone and didn’t hear me.

What happened?”

“It’s nothing. Josie and Leona went to the today to talk to Xavier about funding for the movie, but they didn’t run into him. He’s gone abroad.”

“Why are you home so early today?”

Jacob sat down, his face grim. “I heard the Eastwood Park project is going to Marcus. They’re about to sign the contract soon.”

“Didn’t you say you could help me get that project?”

Courtney pressed her lips together and didn’t say anything.

She hadn’t expected that after everything she’d done, it would have no effect on Xavier and Aveline. They hadn’t reacted at all.

She was still considering whether to listen to that person and have Dylan sue the for falsely accusing him of plagiarizing the lead architect’s design concept and wrongfully terminating him.

Because Dylan had indeed plagiarized; there just wasn’t any solid proof.

If this really went to court and became a big deal, since it was a globally watched project, the might want to quiet things down and settle out of court. They could then negotiate terms.

But Courtney was also afraid Xavier would be very tough; after all, he was known for being ruthless in the business world.

Jacob grew impatient. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Courtney looked at him with a grim expression. “It’s because your older daughter won’t let Xavier give you the project.”

Jacob shot to his feet. “And that’s because you told me to release that statement, and Aveline got

angry.”
