Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 692

Chapter 692

“That lawsuit could drag on for years, but I need the money for cash flow right now.”

At the mention of Bethany’s paintings, a sharp pain shot through Jacob’s chest. He remembered when Bethany was still alive, she would sell a painting to help him whenever his company ran into financial trouble. Back then, he never had to worry about money.

But now, all Courtney did was spend money, not earn it. She was a complete good–for–nothing, unable to help him in the slightest.

Aveline, that ungrateful daughter, stole all the paintings and didn’t leave a single one for him, her own father.

Courtney, on the other hand, was regretting not hiding those paintings, which allowed Aveline to steal them while she was out. She felt as awful as if she’d lost hundreds of millions.

She said, “The president of the is your son–in–law. If your company’s in trouble, ask him for help. Sinking to the level of selling your own wife’s house… aren’t you afraid people will laugh at you?”

“Xavier should also think it’s embarrassing that his father–in–law has to sell a house for cash.”

Jacob said irritably, “Didn’t I just tell you? He won’t let me in his office.”

Courtney shot back, “Then go find Rupert, or his mother. Xavier

might be heartless enough to accept the embarrassment, but the older generation won’t be.”

Jacob fell silent, frowning as he considered Courtney’s suggestion.

Courtney glanced at him, “I don’t know what’s going on, the hasn’t even announced that Xavier and Aveline got their marriage certificate. If they announced it, and everyone in Entora and the south knew you were Xavier’s father–in–law, who wouldn’t be sucking up to you? The banks would probably be fighting to give you a loan.”

Jacob looked at Courtney, “I’m just going to be straight with you today.”

Courtney’s heart sank when she heard that. She had a bad feeling.

Jacob said, “I have loans from the bank. One of them is due in two weeks. And… there’s also the loan sharks.”

Courtney was so shocked she jumped to her feet, pointing at Jacob in anger. “Are you insane? How could you borrow from loan sharks.”

Jacob remained silent, his face grim, seething with anger.

A friend had introduced him to a big project in Entora. He thought it was a done deal, but when the bank wouldn’t give him a loan, he listened to his friend and borrowed from loan sharks. He never imagined the project would fall through.

Courtney grabbed a pillow from the sofa and threw it at Jacob, “Are you trying to ruin our whole family?”

For a bank loan, she could make Jacob use his and Bethany’s assets for

repayment. But loan sharks don’t care about any of that. They wouldn’t just go after Jacob, they’d go after his wife and daughter too.

Getting hit by a pillow doesn’t hurt, so Jacob didn’t even move. “That’s why you need to sell the house quickly, so I can pay back some of what I owe the loan sharks.”

“Don’t you act so innocent. You’ve taken plenty from me over the

years.

That painting Aveline was looking for before, you told me to take it and sell it. Part of the money went to my company for cash flow, and part of it went to you. You’ve stashed that money away nicely, haven’t you?”

“Hmph. You probably have more money than I do right now. And I’m still paying to support you, a freeloader who only knows how to throw money around and can’t earn a dime.”

Courtney was so angry her chest heaved violently. “I gave you a son, and you still want me to go out and earn money for you to spend? Jacob, do you have any conscience at all?”

Josephine hadn’t actually left and was standing outside the bedroom door eavesdropping, completely shocked to find out her dad’s company was in such bad shape.

She couldn’t take it anymore, opened the door, went in, and said with a stern face, “Dad, all you do is pressure Mom. Why don’t you go pressure Aveline?”

“Aveline is your daughter, too. She has an obligation to help you out.”
