Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 635

Chapter 635

Gloria asked her, “So where do I go?”

Aveline said coldly, “Go home.”

Jasmine was genuinely curious and asked, “Ma’am, why don’t you go bother your other granddaughter? Tell her to sweet–talk Xavier, and he’ll give her dad the project.”

Gloria glared at her and said nothing.

Jasmine scoffed, then got in the elevator with Aveline and Julian, heading up to the small conference room.

Gloria watched Aveline leave but didn’t dare to follow. She reached for her phone to call Jacob, but realized she had left it in her room.

But she didn’t dare go back upstairs to her room alone, so she pulled a staff member aside to accompany her.

The service at the Beltran Hotel was impeccable, and since the employee recognized her as Aveline’s grandmother, they naturally escorted her upstairs.

Inside the room, the employee was about to leave, but Gloria wouldn’t let them. “You stay here with me. I’m scared being here by myself.”

The employee said patiently, “Ma’am, I can’t stay here with you. I have other work to do.”

“What are you afraid of?”

“I’m afraid a drunk is going to come strangle me.

The employee was speechless.

“Ma’am, our hotel is very safe. Something like that won’t happen here.”

Gloria replied, “My granddaughter said so. My granddaughter is Aveline, you must know her.”

The employee was stunned, wondering why Aveline would frighten her own grandmother like

that.

“If you stay in your room and lock the door, no one can get in.”

“No. You have to stay here with me.”

As she said this, Gloria grabbed the employee’s hand.

Helpless, the employee had no choice but to call their manager and explain the situation.

The manager thought for a moment and told them, “In that case, just stay in the old woman’s room with her. Wherever she goes, if she needs you to come along, you go.”

“She’s Aveline’s grandmother. We have to treat her well.”

The employee wanted to cry but couldn’t. They’d rather be working than babysitting a cranky old woman who thought a drunk was going to strangle her.

When Gloria saw the employee was willing to stay, she let go of their hand and called Jacob.

Jacob was still at home eating breakfast. When he saw the call, he said to Courtney, “Mom’s calling again.”

Courtney replied, “Well, answer it. See what she says.”

Josephine was there too, and said, “She probably couldn’t stand it and wants to come home.”

Jacob answered the call. “Mom, good morning. Did you eat breakfast yet?

Is the breakfast at the Beltran Hotel good?”

Gloria blurted out, “Jacob, come get me. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”

Jacob frowned. “Mom, didn’t we agree on this yesterday?

Do you really want my company to go out of business?”

“Oh, Jacob, Aveline says she’s going to call the police on you.

For that project, just have Josie ask her brother–in–law. He’s good to her, he’ll say yes.”

Jacob said impatiently, “It’s useless even if she calls the police. Don’t worry. She’s your granddaughter, she’s supposed to look after you.”

Gloria replied, “But Aveline said it would only be her turn to take care of me after all my children are dead.”

“Her friends also said that’s what the law dictates.”

“Jacob, Aveline has already put Will, Vincent, and Eileen in jail. I’m afraid she’ll do the same to

you.”

Jacob was speechless, because he didn’t know what the law said either, he just felt that as the old lady’s own granddaughter, Aveline should be taking care of her too.

“Is that right? Well, let me ask a lawyer. I’m hanging up.”

With that, he hung up without even waiting for the old lady to respond.

Then he told Courtney what the old lady had said.

Although Courtney hadn’t studied law, she knew that common sense dictated that children were responsible for their parents, and it shouldn’t fall to the grandchildren as long as the children were still around.

But she couldn’t possibly tell Jacob that, and only said, “Don’t worry. If Aveline dares to call the police, a family matter like this is usually just swept under the rug by them. They’ll focus on mediating; they won’t actually arrest you and put you in detention.”

“Just stop answering the old lady’s calls. That old lady is just looking for trouble, she’s always been restless, it’s not like you don’t know that.”

Jacob trusted Courtney and nodded. “Alright, I won’t answer anymore.
