Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 820

**TITLE: A Divorce 820**

Leona found herself momentarily lost for words, her thoughts swirling in confusion and frustration. With a slight huff, she turned her face away, annoyance creeping into her demeanor. Deep down, she knew that engaging in an argument with Xavier would only lead to her own defeat. The weight of their history hung heavily in the air, and she could feel the tension crackling between them.

Meanwhile, Aunt’s eyes flitted around the room like a restless bird, her mind clearly preoccupied with something far more troubling. The unease she had been feeling for the past couple of days had reached a boiling point, and the news of Jacob’s untimely death only added fuel to her worries. She couldn’t shake the thought that perhaps this shocking turn of events might somehow absolve her and Jonathan from the looming threat of the Stephen situation.

“Oh my, that’s just terrible news,” she exclaimed, her voice trembling slightly. “So, does that mean Courtney and Josephine are going to jail, right, Xavier?” Her heart raced at the thought of potential consequences, the implications of their actions weighing heavily on her conscience.

“Aveline can finally get some justice,” Xavier replied, his tone icy and devoid of any warmth. He shot her a piercing look, leaving no room for further discussion.

Rupert, who had been quietly observing the exchange, finally interjected. “You’ve been cooped up in that car for over two hours. It’s time you took a break and rested,” he said, his voice firm yet calm.

“Jonathan, you and your wife, come to the study with me and Xavier,” he commanded, rising from his seat. His demeanor left no room for dissent, and without sparing Jonathan or Aunt a glance, he headed upstairs, a clear indication that they were expected to follow.

Xavier stood up, trailing behind Rupert, and with a subtle motion of his eyes, he directed Amy to join them.

Aunt was momentarily stunned, her eyes darting between Jonathan and the retreating figures of Rupert and Xavier.

Jonathan caught her gaze and stood up, determination etched on his face. “Let’s go,” he said, his voice steady despite the uncertainty hanging in the air.

As they walked side by side, Aunt leaned in closer, whispering, “What’s going on? Why does the Patriarch want to see us?” Her voice was laced with concern, and she felt a knot tightening in her stomach.

“Is it about that incident? Does the Patriarch know everything?” she pressed, anxiety creeping into her tone.

Jonathan sighed, trying to calm her nerves. “Didn’t we already discuss this? Just stay composed and don’t panic,” he urged, though he could feel a similar tension building within him.

Once they entered the study, Rupert settled into an armchair, exuding an air of authority, while Xavier lounged on the long sofa beside him, his posture relaxed yet alert. Jonathan took a seat in the armchair directly across from them, and Aunt pulled up a chair to sit beside him, her heart racing.

As the butler approached to pour tea, Rupert waved him off. “No need for tea. You can go now. I doubt they’ll be in the mood for it shortly,” he stated, his tone dismissive.

Aunt’s heart sank at his words; a heavy dread settled over her as she realized the gravity of the situation.
