Leona glared at Aveline. “You… are you trying to force me to reveal your dirty secrets?”
Xavier snapped, “Jason, get this lunatic out of here.”
Aveline scoffed. “I’ve done nothing wrong. What dirty secrets could I have? Say whatever you want. You think I’m afraid of you?”
Jason stood up and walked to Leona’s side. “Big sister, that’s enough. Come with me.”
But Leona didn’t move, her eyes wide as she stared first at Xavier, then at Aveline.
Jason said in a low voice, “Leona, if you ever want to go back to the Beltran’s mansion, then stop acting crazy.”
Leona’s heart sank. She looked at Xavier and saw that his deep, dark eyes were cold, with even a hint of hostility.
He was truly pissed off.
“Josie, let’s go.”
With that, Leona grabbed Josie’s hand and led her out of the private dining room.
Josie followed Leona out, saying repeatedly, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. Please don’t blame Leona.”
Jane was completely stunned, sitting there watching everything unfold.

She observed the other outsiders–Sebastian, Fiona, and Jasmine. She noticed Sebastian looked indifferent, sipping his tea slowly, with an air of someone who couldn’t care less.
Meanwhile, Fiona and Jasmine were clearly on Aveline’s side, glaring at Leona with displeased expressions.
Now that Leona had left with Josie, and Jason had followed them, she suddenly didn’t know what to do.
Of course, she couldn’t stay. After a moment’s hesitation, she quickly stood up and followed them out without a word.
Xavier picked up his teacup and gestured to Sebastian. “My apologies, Mr. Harmon.”
Sebastian raised his teacup as well. “It seems Ms. Beltran is quite invested in having Ms. Josephine as the director.
Mr. Beltran, did you really replace her?”
Seeing Sebastian go along with his narrative–framing the dispute as a result of him replacing the director–made Xavier feel that the and Crestmark could continue to work together. Sebastian really knew how to play the game..
Xavier said flatly, “If I didn’t replace her, was I supposed to let an incompetent person ruin my project?”
Sebastian smiled faintly. “Of course, Mr. Beltran has to prioritize the project.”
Although Xavier was talking to Sebastian, he was keeping an eye on Aveline. When he saw a mocking smile appear on her lips, he cursed “Damn it” to himself and felt like he could kill Josephine and Leona.

Fiona let out a dry laugh and said, “Mr. Beltran, you’re so ruthless. Poor, great director Josephine.”
Xavier shot her a cold glance, warning her not to add fuel to the fire.
Brielle said, “Alright, alright, let’s not talk about work. We came here this weekend to relax.”
“Besides, there’s a child here. You’re scaring her.”
Unexpectedly, Valentina spoke up. “Mom, I wasn’t scared. I think Uncle is right. Dad said so too, incompetent people just mess things up, so you can’t let them be in charge of things.”
“It was wrong of Aunt Leona to help Josie.”
“Josie did something wrong, but she won’t admit it and just keeps crying. Seriously, it’s so annoying to watch.”
Everyone was stunned to hear Valentina talking like an adult.
Brielle quickly put some food on her plate. “Just eat, my little highness.”
Outside the private dining room, Leona saw that Jason had followed her out. Furious, she snapped at him, “I wasn’t even full, and you kicked me out.”
Jason said flatly, “Your mind wasn’t on eating. You just came here today to cause trouble for our brother.”
Leona retorted irritably, “What are you talking about? I came here to introduce you to someone.”
“Do you think what Xavier did was right? Are you taking his side?”

Jane stood a few steps away from them, feeling awkward and unsure if she should approach.
At the same time, her mind was filled with questions. She was incredibly curious about the relationship between the and the Sutton family.
Jason glanced at Josephine but said nothing.
When Josephine saw the flash of disgust in his eyes, her heart tightened, and a wave of humiliation washed over her.
Even Jason, someone she barely knew and had hardly spoken to, looked down on her.
Josephine seethed inwardly but said aloud, “Leona, it’s all my fault. I made you and Xav fight.”
Leona patted her shoulder. “It’s not your fault. Xavier is just too cold and ruthless.”
“I have no say in the, so I can’t help you there. Just forget about that movie. You can start over. I can introduce you to investors.”

When is the novel ending? It’s so unnecessarily long… not a single intimacy or connection just fighting and bickering from the beginning to end...
