Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 618

The meeting with Eric was scheduled for tomorrow morning. It was evening now, not yet dark, and Xavier said to go to the hotel to rest first.

He took out his phone and texted Aveline, 【Asleep?】

I’m in London. It’s still light out, but it’s raining and very humid.】

It’s always raining in England.】

At this hour, Aveline was already fast asleep.

But Xavier couldn’t resist texting her.

Whenever he was on business trips before, he had always wanted to text Aveline, but the thought of her lies made him harden his heart and stop himself.

Thinking back on it now, he really wanted to slap himself.

Aveline must have had a very hard time these past two years.

So from now on, he was determined to cherish her and never let her feel wronged in the slightest again.

After sending the texts, he saw a message Leona had sent him earlier, 【Are you on a business trip to England?】

Xavier’s dark eyes narrowed as he replied, 【Who said I’m on a business trip to England?】

A moment later, Leona replied, [If you’re not in England, then where are you?

I just want to know when you’re coming back.】

Xavier thought for a moment and asked, 【What is it?】

Leona: [Is it convenient to talk on the phone?]

Xavier: [It’s not.】

He got annoyed just hearing her voice.

Leona: [You’re not at your mistress’s house, are you?】

Xavier’s face instantly turned cold. 【What nonsense are you talking about?】

Leona: [You dumped Josie, so you must have a new flame.】

Xavier: [You can suspect Marcus of something like that, but there’s no need to point your suspicions at me.】

Leona: [Hmph, leave your brother–in–law out of this. I’m just waiting to see your new lover show up. Maybe you’ll be throwing money around to promote some starlet one of these days.】

Xavier was worried Leona might go spout nonsense to Aveline. [Leona, don’t be ridiculous.】

Leona: [Am I being ridiculous, or are you? Why did you get rid of Josephine?】

Xavier: [Why don’t you go ask her why she was lining her own pockets first.】

Leona: 【What do you mean, lining her own pockets?】

【Fine, even if she did misuse investment funds, didn’t you tell her she could spend money freely?

Xavier replied, [Leona, you’re truly insane.】

Leona: 【Stop with the insults and explain yourself】

But Xavier had no intention of engaging with her further.

She actually thought there was nothing wrong with Josephine misusing investment funds. If that wasn’t insane, what was?

The Beltran Group also owned a hotel in London. After arriving at the Beltran Hotel, Xavier and Amy went to the presidential suite to freshen up before heading downstairs to a private dining room in a traditional restaurant to eat.

Xavier asked the investigator, “Is Eric’s mother really sick?”

The investigator, Melissa Morgan, replied, “We checked. She does have Alzheimer’s. Her father is also in poor health, with high blood pressure and diabetes. The expenses are substantial.”

The other investigator, Cameron Wright, added, “The money from Michelle Dawson is probably almost gone, which is why she’s now willing to talk about what happened all those years ago.

Xavier picked up a piece of beef and said calmly, “Then tell me, why didn’t she ask Michelle for

Melissa and Cameron exchanged a glance, and Melissa said, “Mr. Beltran, twenty million… Michelle couldn’t come up with that kind of money, could she?”

Xavier chuckled, “Someone like him must be worth at least a few hundred million.”

“Eric doesn’t go to Michelle because she thinks Michelle wouldn’t give her any money, since Michelle believes she doesn’t know anything.”

“If she really has those photos, she’s probably also afraid the person behind it is dangerous and would have her silenced.”

“Or maybe, she’s just trying to scam me for money, using some random photos to fool me.”

Amy said, “Mr. Beltran, if the photos are fake, then we really won’t know.”

Xavier said calmly, “Let’s wait until we see the photos.”

“No one noticed you guys following Eric, right?”

Melissa replied, “We used counter–surveillance. No one is watching Eric, so no one should know we’re investigating and approaching her.”

Xavier said calmly, “Then no one should know that I’m here to see Eric.”

Melissa replied, “Mr. Beltran, that should be right.”

After the meal, Xavier and Amy took a walk near the hotel, then went back to their room to rest.
