Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 696

If they sold it, it would solve the debt and they could buy a new house. Even if it wasn’t as big, it would at least be her own new house, which would be more comfortable.

Jacob glanced at Courtney and said nothing.

Courtney had a bad feeling and asked coldly, “Don’t tell me your debt is more than two hundred million?”

Hearing this, Josephine was so scared she stared at Jacob.

Jacob said, “Aveline blocked me, and I can’t get into Garden Estate. How am I supposed to find her?”

Courtney said angrily, “You’re just an idiot. No wonder you got into loan sharking.”

He wasn’t an idiot. She couldn’t have seduced him and gone from being the other woman to his wife if he were.

“Use Gloria’s phone to call or text her. Say you have something urgent to discuss, something about her dead mother. If she won’t see you, then you’ll go to the Patriarch.”

Jacob looked at Courtney, thinking how ruthless this woman was, daring to use the deceased Bethany to threaten Aveline.

This trick should work.

Josephine yelled, “Dad, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and go!”

“The interest on this loan sharking debt is compounding. If you don’t it off quickly, even selling this two–hundred–million house won’t be enough, and Aveline won’t be able to help you either.”

Jacob thought Josephine’s tone sounded just like a debt collector’s. Annoyed, he said, “I know.”

With that, he grabbed a slice of toast to eat and walked out of the dining room.

After breakfast, Aveline didn’t go anywhere and sat in the living room with Collin and Paulina, watching a variety show.

A call came in on Gloria’s phone, and she coldly rejected it.

Then, a text came: [Aveline, I have something urgent to discuss with you, it’s about your mother. Let’s meet now.]

Aveline looked at the message, thought for a moment, and replied: [What is it?]

This message was most likely sent by Jacob.

[Is this Jacob?]

The reply came: [Yes, it’s your dad.

We can only talk it out in person.]

Aveline didn’t know what trick Jacob was playing, but as long as he didn’t come to Garden Estate to harass Collin and Paulina, she wasn’t

afraid to meet him in a public place.

Aveline sent a meeting location: a coffee shop near Garden Estate.

Then Aveline told Collin and Paulina she had to go out for something.

She went upstairs to change into some outdoor clothes, and when it was about time, she left.

On her way, Jacob called again from Gloria’s phone, and Aveline hung

He sent a text: [I’m here. Why aren’t you here yet? You’re not messing with me, are you?]

Aveline ignored him.

Inside the coffee shop, Jacob stood at a corner table waving at her. “Aveline.”

Aveline walked over, her face cold.

Jacob sized her up, his tone full of disapproval. “It’s so hard to get a meeting with you. Are you disowning your own father now?”

Aveline sat down, saying coolly, “My mom was the one who raised me. She even supported you.”

Jacob seethed. “Without your daddy’s seed, could you have even been born?”

Aveline said coldly, “I’m your daughter, true, but if my mom hadn’t been tricked by a bastard like you, she wouldn’t have died so young. I’d rather have never been born, just so my mom could have had a long

and happy life.”

“Can you deny that ever since Mom married you, she was the one who earned the money to support the family and help you start your business?”

“And the house you’re living in now with the other woman and your illegitimate daughter? My mom bought that.”

Jacob choked, then said angrily, “You damn girl, do you think the money I, your daddy, earned working my ass off is just toilet paper?”

“How could you say only your mom supported the family? I did my part too. My company used to make tens of millions in profit a year.”

Aveline said coldly, “You spent all the money you earned on partying, supporting the other woman and your illegitimate daughter. And Mom was the one who gave you the startup money for your company.”

Jacob’s chest tightened with rage, he could barely breathe.

He pointed at Aveline, about to curse her out, but a waiter came over and asked what they wanted to drink.

Aveline ordered a coffee.
