Chapter 102
Aveline would recognize the backs of Xavier and Josephine even if they were turned to ash.
Jasmine: [It’s a hot topic on the forum. I think it might spread and could even become one of the trending topics, so I’m giving you a heads–up.】
【Everyone is saying this man is Josephine’s sugar daddy, or her boyfriend. They’re all guessing the man’s identity, and some have already guessed it’s Xavier.]
[Because of that commercial, plus the news that Josephine’s directorial debut was funded by the has already gotten out, Josephine has some fame now.]
suspect she hired a PR team to create buzz for herself online.】
[She definitely had her PR team post this photo online.】
Aveline let out a sarcastic laugh.
Josephine had learned well from Courtney. It wasn’t surprising at all that she would pull a stunt like this.
Besides, Josephine knew she was about to divorce Xavier. She must be unable to contain her excitement, eager to leak some information to the public and show off.
Aveline replied to Jasmine, 【I know. We’re about to go through the divorce proceedings. This is Xavier’s business, not mine anymore.】
Jasmine: [I know you’re over Xavier, which is why I’m telling you this without any hesitation.]
[I’m just worried that one day, the news that you were once Xavier’s fiancée and had officially registered the marriage will leak. Then you’ll be judged for having your husband stolen by your half–sister. That kind of gossip would be hard for you to bear.]
Aveline understood Jasmine’s good intentions. After all, her engagement and marriage registration with Xavier weren’t known only to the two of them. Quite a few people knew, so it was possible it could leak someday,
It was even possible that Josephine might deliberately leak it just to spite her.
Aveline replied to Jasmine, I understand. I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.】
Jasmine: 【Ava, no matter what happens in the future, you have to remember that you have us, your friends, to sup- port and be with you. Don’t get stuck in your own head.】
Aveline: 【Okay, thanks. If I need anything, I’ll definitely come to you.】

Valentina looked adorable while she slept. Aveline felt so comforted watching her, it was enough to melt her heart.
The day she got her marriage certificate with Xavier, she had even fantasized about having a child with him and won- dered who the baby would look like.
Valentina’s eyes were actually deep like Xavier’s. But because she was still little, they were round, bright, and clear, not unfathomable and still like an old well, the way his were.
In a private dining room at the Velvet Club, Gerald picked up a bottle to pour Xavier more whiskey, but Xavier cov- ered the rim of his glass with his slender fingers.
“No more for me. I have an important meeting tomorrow morning.”
Gerald shrugged. “With your tolerance, you could finish the whole bottle, get some sleep, and still be sharp for the meeting the next day.”
As he said that, he went to pour Josephine a drink.
Josephine stopped him with a charming laugh, “My tolerance is nothing like Xav’s. Any more and I won’t be able to walk straight.”
Gerald glanced at Xavier with a smile. “What are you afraid of? If you get too drunk to walk, your darling will carry you home.”
Josephine gave Gerald a bashful glare, then turned her gaze to Xavier.
Just then, Xavier’s phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Rupert calling.
Xavier answered, “Patriarch.”
Hearing this, Josephine and Gerald didn’t dare to make a sound.
