Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 702

Chapter 702

“Then will she ask the court to take back what you’ve given me all these years?”

Jacob snorted. “So now you’re scared?

Then why don’t you hurry up and sell that villa in your name to pay my debts? Otherwise, Aveline will take it away eventually.”

“I used money from my marriage with Bethany to buy that villa for you. Aveline has the right to claim half of it back.”

Courtney pressed her lips together and said nothing.

She had to think carefully about how to transfer the assets in her name. With Aveline’s assertive personality, she would definitely come after her.

Just then, Jacob’s lawyer and a company executive arrived. Jacob told them to follow him upstairs to the study.

After they left, Josephine asked Courtney, “Mom, you’re already married to Dad. Can Aveline really take back the assets Dad gave you?”

Courtney nodded, “She can, but she has to prove that Jacob gave them to me during his previous marriage.”

“And can she prove it?”

Courtney thought for a moment, “Your dad transferred a lot of money from the company, from his accounts, to buy me houses, cars, and jewelry. There have to be bank transfer records of that.”

She thought of the painting that had gone missing, the one Aveline had confronted her about on the day she came to steal it. Because her brother liked it, she had given it to him without telling Jacob.

If Aveline found out, it would be trouble.

She had to convince her brother to hide that painting quickly, that he couldn’t just hang it openly in the living room anymore.

Courtney glanced at the antiques in the living room, then thought about the valuable decorations in the other rooms. It looked like she’d have to hide them, too.

Anyway, if Aveline asked, she could say they were broken, or that the loan sharks took them

Josephine looked at her mom’s serious expression, “Mom, what are you thinking about?”

Courtney replied to her. “I’m planning for the future for the three of us.”

Josephine really didn’t want Jacob’s company to just collapse. After all, as long as her dad had a company, she was still a business owner’s daughter.

If Jacob was nothing, then what would she be?

She hadn’t even become a movie director yet.

“Mom, why don’t you go to Dad’s company and take a look? You’re so smart, maybe you could help him run the company.”

Courtney shot her a look. “If your dad let women get involved in running the company, would Bethany have needed to constantly sell paintings to help him?”

“He only comes home crying to Bethany when the company is in big trouble, and she just keeps giving him money to bail him out. Only at times like that will he listen to her advice a little.”

“The profitable projects at his company were all ones Bethany suggested he invest in. The decisions he made on his own all lost money.”

“If I were to help your dad’s company, I’d have to put up a lot of money first to bail him out. Hmph, not a chance.”

“I bail him out of one huge mess, he takes my advice once, then pushes me aside to do things his way, only to end up in another huge mess. I’m not Bethany; I can’t just keep painting and selling them to save my husband.”

“Bethany died so young because Jacob dragged her down with him.

“I don’t know if Bethany knew about Jacob and me before she died, but with him being so incompetent, she must have been depressed. It’s no wonder she got sick.

After Aveline talked with Xavier, she went to her maternal grandparents to tell them she wanted to transfer the ownership of one of the villas in Sunset Glow Estates to them.

“The main thing is to hide Mom’s paintings there for now. I’ll buy a big safe to install in the villa.”

“Jacob’s company is in trouble right now, so he’ll definitely want to sell those paintings. I don’t want him coming here to bother you.”

Collin said with a grim face, “I Imph, I knew Jacob would fail sooner or later. He’s completely

incompetent. Without your mom, he can’t do anything.”

But Paulina said worriedly, “Aveline, no one lives in the villa. What if Jacob breaks in?”

288 Vouchers

Aveline replied, “They’ll be in a safe. He can’t open it and he can’t move it. Besides, I’ll install a surveillance and alarm system in the villa. If anyone gets in, it will definitely trigger the alarm.”
