Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 653

Aveline glanced at the text but didn’t reply to Xavier.

Fiona said, “Aveline, Felix is very good, but I’m worried Xavier will tell him to help get Josephine

off the hook.”

Aveline asked her, “Did Xavier say someone would protect Josephine?”

“Yes, haha, who else could it be but him?

John? That’s ridiculous.”

Aveline was lost in thought, thinking about how Xavier had said someone helped Courtney and Josephine set up that scam to trick him into believing Josephine was the one who saved him.

She said to Fiona, “Maybe Xavier will protect Josephine, but in Courtney’s case, he definitely won’t want me to lose and be sentenced, because we’re not divorced yet. He can’t let his wife have a criminal record.”

Fiona agreed, “That’s what I was thinking too.”

Aveline said, “Felix can work on Courtney’s case, but not Eileen’s case.”

“But I trust your abilities. It’s up to you to decide whether you need Felix or not.”

Fiona thought for a moment, “Let me think about it. Or maybe I’ll meet with Felix, hear his opinion, and see what kind of person he is–whether he’d help Xavier hurt you.”

Meanwhile, Xavier grew anxious when Aveline didn’t reply for a long time, so he called Gerald.

Gerald answered quickly, “Mr. Beltran, calling me yourself? I’m flattered.”

Xavier said flatly, “You can’t take Courtney’s case.”

Gerald chuckled, “I’ve already taken it.”

“Drop it. Tell her to find someone else. In short, your firm can’t take it.”

Gerald got angry, “Then you tell Aveline to drop the case against Eileen, and I’ll convince Josie’s

mom not to sue Aveline.”

Xavier said coldly, “Eileen did trip my wife. She must face legal consequences.”

Gerald shot back. “And Aveline did throw water on Courtney, and Courtney is pregnant.

“Xavier, when it happened that day, didn’t you also think Eileen wouldn’t trip Aveline?”

Xavier’s chest tightened. He said, “I was blind that day. I didn’t see that Josephine would dare to harm my wife.”

“Gerald, I’m seriously warning you, stay away from Josephine.”

“You can’t take the case for that mother and daughter. If you do, you’ll have to leave the firm. And. I’ll cut ties with you.”

Gerald was shocked. “Xavier, you… you’re going too far.”

“Why are you trying to ruin Josie?”

“You even kicked her off the film crew she put together herself. Don’t you know how hard it’ll be for her in the industry now?”

Xavier said coldly, “She deserved it.”

“What did Josephine do to make you treat her this way?”

“Because she hurt my wife, the love of my life.”

Gerald was silent for a moment, then said, “Xavier, if you keep hurting Josie like this, and I don’t help her, her life will be miserable.”

Xavier couldn’t be bothered wasting his breath on the clueless Gerald and said, “You’d better watch yourself”

With that, he hung up the phone.

Afterward, Xavier called the director of the law firm. He had to create obstacles for Gerald to prevent him from successfully taking on Courtney’s case.

The director didn’t even know who Courtney was, so of course, he wouldn’t offend a powerful man over a nobody’s case and readily agreed.

“Mr. Beltran, rest assured. No lawyer from our firm will take this person’s case.

Gerald was actually at a bar with Josephine at that moment. After Xavier hung up, he told her what had happened.

Josephine was no longer surprised by Xavier’s ruthlessness, his intent to completely destroy her, but in front of Gerald, she had to put on an aggrieved expression.

“Gerald, is Xav trying to leave me with no way out?”

Gerald thought Josephine was exaggerating, but then he remembered how Xavier had once put her on a pedestal, only to now be thrown to the ground for no reason. The psychological whiplash must be awful, and her thoughts were bound to become extreme.

He didn’t know how to comfort Josephine, and on the other hand, he found it strange, so he asked, “Josie, did something happen?”

“Did you or your mom do something to make Xavier angry?”

“I get the feeling he’s treating you and your mom like his enemies.”

Josephine couldn’t figure it out either. Could Xavier really love Aveline so much that he would treat her, his savior, like an enemy?

Because everything Xavier had done against her recently, just as Gerald said, made it seem like she was his enemy.

Josephine shook her head. “I don’t know what’s going on either.”
