The next day, he got up at six, went for an hour–long run, then came back to shower and eat breakfast. A little after eight, he and Amy left the hotel for the coffee shop Eric had chosen.

Melissa was already waiting in the parking lot outside the coffee shop. When she saw Xavier’s car arrive, she immediately got out.

“Mr. Beltran, Cameron is already inside, but Eric hasn’t arrived yet.”

Xavier glanced at his watch and said calmly, “It’s not time yet. No rush. Let’s go inside and wait for her.”

After sitting down at a corner table in the coffee shop, Xavier had just taken a couple of sips of coffee when his phone buzzed. It was a message from Jonathan.

【Xavier, are you on a business trip? Why aren’t you at the office?】

【I asked your assistant, and they said they didn’t know.】

Xavier looked at Jonathan’s message, thought for a moment, and replied, 【You need something?】

Jonathan: 【I just ran into Aveline’s father. He mentioned the Eastwood Park project, saying you had promised to help him get it, but you gave it to Marcus instead. What’s going on?】

[Jacob is your father–in–law. How could you go back on your

【If the Patriarch finds out, he’ll definitely blame you.】

word?】

Xavier had thought Jonathan was messaging to find out where he was, but then he changed the subject to the project Jacob wanted.

But it was also possible that Jonathan brought up Jacob after failing to find out his whereabouts.

He didn’t know if he had actually run into Jacob.

Xavier replied, 【This project is a safer bet with Marcus.】

Jonathan: 【Even if Jacob’s abilities are limited, doesn’t he have you, his son–in–law, to help him?

[Is it because he made that statement the other day and upset Aveline, so she won’t let you give him the project?】

When Xavier saw this message, his expression immediately turned cold.

Every single one of them thought Aveline was the kind of petty person who would forbid him from being good to someone just because she was upset with them.

[Aveline never gets involved in

my business.】

Jonathan: Is that so.】

【Then give that project to Jacob.】

【I’ve asked around. Marcus hasn’t officially signed the contract yet.】

【It won’t affect Marcus’s company if they don’t do this project, but Jacob’s company hasn’t been doing well lately. He needs this project to turn things around.】

【He’s your father–in–law. You’re obligated to help him.】

【If your father–in–law’s company goes bankrupt, it’s an embarrassment for you, and for the as your in–laws.)

Xavier hadn’t expected Jonathan, who always ignored things between him and Aveline, to actually be speaking up for Jacob now.

It’s not like he’s his son Jason’s father–in–law. Why does he care so much?

Xavier thought for a moment and replied to him, 【I’ll deal with it when I get back to the city.】

Jonathan: 【Where are you?

When are you coming back?】

Xavier saw he was circling back to the topic, [In Kralville. I’ll head back once I’m finished here.)

After a while, Jonathan finally replied, [Alright, we’ll talk when you get back.]

[You need to think this through. Aveline is just angry right now. If her dad’s company goes under, she’ll regret it later. You should try to talk some sense into her.]

Xavier looked down, lost in thought, his long fingers tapping lightly on his phone screen.

Was Jonathan really concerned about Jacob’s situation?

Or was he just trying to find out where he was?

Xavier glanced at his watch. It was already nine o’clock. He asked, “Why isn’t she here yet?”

Amy said, “Melissa is waiting outside. She’ll bring her in when she arrives.”

Cameron asked, “Mr. Beltran, should we give her a call and ask?”

Xavier said calmly, “No rush. Let’s wait another ten minutes.”

But five minutes later, Melissa and a woman wearing a mask and sunglasses walked into the cafe.

Seeing Eric in this state, Xavier wondered if she was planning to talk to him like that.

Melissa said, “Mr. Beltran, this is Joseph.”

Eric walked to the table, looked at Xavier, and said, “Mr. Beltran.”

Xavier said calmly, “Have a seat.”

Eric sat across from Xavier without taking off her sunglasses or mask.

Melissa said, annoyed, “Are you planning to talk to Mr. Beltran like that?”

Eric glanced around the cafe. “I’m afraid someone might recognize me.

Xavier laughed. “You think the people you’re hiding from won’t recognize you just because your face is covered up like this?”
