Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 691

“Tuesday.”

“Will they call you to testify again?”

Josephine shook her head, “I don’t know. The way Aveline and Fiona are trying to mess with me, they’ll definitely call me to testify again.”

Just then, Jacob pushed the door open and walked in, his face grim, “Courtney, I need to talk to you.”

Courtney saw the look on his face and knew it had to be something serious and bad, so she motioned for Josephine to leave.

Josephine also sensed something was wrong, but she left anyway.

Courtney held her large belly as she walked to the sofa and sat down, asking calmly, “What is it?”

“Don’t tell me you have the other woman on the side, and she’s pregnant.”

Jacob sat on the bench at the foot of the bed, annoyed. “I can barely afford to eat, let alone support the other woman and an illegitimate child.”

Courtney frowned, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Jacob glared at her. “You said you’d help me get that Eastwood Park project. And what happened? You just made a huge mess and made

my son–in–law hate me even more.”

“I can’t even get into The Croft Tower now.”

Courtney didn’t say anything, because Josephine couldn’t get in either. Xavier had already told his staff not to let her into his office area.

Jacob sighed. “What on earth did Josie do? How did she have a falling out with Xavier? Xavier used to be so good to her, he’d give her anything she asked for. He even bought her a painting, which she then gave to me for my birthday.”

“If I’d known things would turn out like this, I never would have had a falling out with Aveline. Now I don’t know who to ask for help.”

“If I go ask Aveline, she’ll definitely ignore me.”

“Sigh, if I’d known, I should have had him help me back when Xavier was still good to Josie.”

“I was planning to get a good project, but by the time a good one came along, Josie had a falling out with Xavier. It’s making me so mad.”

Seeing Jacob sighing and groaning, Courtney knew his company must be in big trouble. Afraid he would ask her for money to keep it afloat, she kept quiet.

But she also knew Jacob wouldn’t let her off the hook. Sure enough, after he was done complaining, he said to her:

“That villa in your name, you have to sell it.”

Courtney’s eyes widened. “What?”

“You and Josie are already living here anyway. No one’s lived in that villa for a long time. It’s useless to keep it, so sell it.”

Courtney was furious. “What do you mean it’s useless? It’s my asset.”

Jacob shot back, “What’s this ‘your asset,‘ ‘my asset‘ talk? We’re married now. A husband and wife are one. What’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine.”

“I bought you that house as compensation because I couldn’t make you my wife back then. Now that I have, you have your security. Sell the house. I need the cash flow right now.

Courtney’s heart tightened when she heard that. She thought, Jacob’s company must be in really big trouble if it’s come to selling houses.

But there was no way she was going to sell the house in her name to bail out his company. After all, she knew how incompetent he was. Giving him money was like throwing it into a bottomless pit.

So she said, “If you’re going to sell a house, sell your own. Sell your dead wife’s house. You can’t sell mine. I’m saving it for Josie and our future son.”

Jacob frowned. “If we sell the house we’re living in, where will we live?”

“This is the biggest of all the houses. Of course we’re going to live in the biggest and best one.”

“I’m just asking you to sell a small villa. When I have money again, I’ll buy you a bigger and better one.”

Courtney replied. “Then sell your dead wife’s paintings. Aren’t her paintings worth a lot of money now?”

“Go to Aveline and ask for those paintings back.”

Jacob was furious. “You don’t know a damn thing. I’d rather sell a house than just sell off Bethany’s paintings. Bethany’s paintings appreciate in value. They’re worth more than a house.”

“Besides, I asked a lawyer, and he said Aveline gets a piece of Bethany’s inheritance too. If I want to take those paintings back, Aveline will sue me for her share of the estate.”
