Chapter 688
Others asked if it was the wife of the older brother or the younger one, since if it were Jason’s wife, Brielle’s daughter would also call her ‘Auntie‘.
Jane replied: [The older one’s wife.]
[I haven’t figured out the whole story yet, so I can’t tell you who she is.]
Someone said: [I heard from my grandfather a while back that Xavier was supposedly engaged, but we don’t know who the woman is. The Beltran family never made it public, so who knows if it’s true.]
Someone said: [Who on earth is Xavier engaged to that it has to be kept a secret?]
Someone said: [Probably fake.]
Someone said: [Didn’t that gossip Patricia say Xavier was pursuing the lead architect of the Mount Ardwood Theme Park?]
Someone said: [Hah, there were also rumors that Xavier was throwing money at making Josephine a director. Look what happened now. The Beltran Group came out and clarified they’re just getting into the film industry, and Josephine got replaced.]
They said all this in the group chat, but every single one of them sent private messages to Jane, asking who the woman Brielle’s daughter called ‘Auntie‘ was, hoping Jane would tell them since they were such ‘good friends‘.
Jane knew Xavier was a hot catch. Every single woman in this chat

Jane didn’t reply to the private messages, only saying in the group chat: [Whoever’s close to the Beltran sisters can just ask them yourselves.]
Jane was starting to regret rushing out of the club with Leona. She hadn’t managed to exchange WhatsApp info or phone numbers with Aveline.
If she just became friends with Aveline, it wouldn’t be hard to find out her relationship with Xavier.
She had no idea when they would meet again.
At the Beltran’s mansion, Xavier was chatting with Brielle when Amy arrived. So Brielle went back to her bedroom, and Amy entered the study.
Amy handed Xavier the file on Jacob’s company that Ryan had compiled for him.
Xavier took it and flipped through it. It was only three pages, so he finished quickly.
He scoffed, “So after Aveline’s mother passed away, Jacob lost money on an investment. The company’s been poorly managed these past two years, racking up debt while he’s been spending lavishly.”
“It’s a miracle this company can even last until next year. No wonder he wants my help to get that Eastwood Park project.”
Xavier thought for a moment, picked up his phone, and texted Marcus, “Has the contract for the Eastwood Park project been signed?”
Marcus replied quickly, “Signing next week. What’s up?”

Xavier: “Nothing, just checking in.”
Marcus: “Haha, you scared me. I thought you were going to steal it.”
Xavier put down his phone and said to Amy, “Jacob’s first debt payment is due in two weeks. Is he planning to sell his house?”
As he said this, a mocking smile touched Xavier’s lips.
Amy said, “Mr. Beltran, what are you implying?”
Xavier said flatly, “I’m just worried he’ll either go harass Aveline or come to me for a bailout.”
Amy replied, “Aveline probably won’t bother with him.‘

“Exactly. So he’ll come begging me, or maybe threatening me?”
Amy said, “Mr. Beltran, besides the bank loan due in two weeks, there’s also a loan from a loan shark.”
Xavier picked up the file again. The loan shark’s debt was fifty million.
Jacob could pay it off by selling a house and one or two of Aveline’s mother’s paintings. Why isn’t he paying it back quickly and just letting the interest pile up?
Xavier thought of the painting he bought for Josephine, and his expression darkened.
Josephine really conned a lot of money out of him.
Good thing the title for that house in Winslow Heights was never transferred to her.
But Aveline would never go back to live in Winslow Heights anyway,

because she felt bitter about it.
Xavier felt frustrated at the thought. After all, he and Aveline had a year of memories living together in Winslow Heights.
If he sold both houses, he couldn’t bear to part with the one he had shared with Aveline.
But if he only sold the one Josephine lived in, they were across the hall from each other. It would be inconvenient and lack privacy to have strangers on the same floor.
The biggest problem, really, was that Aveline probably wouldn’t go back there.
Xavier thought he should have Helena go over and thoroughly clean and disinfect the house.

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...
