Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 103

Rupert said, “Walter Levine is over here having tea with me. He saw a picture in a chat group of you and some wom- an, taken from behind. Someone asked him if she was your mistress or your fiancée. They also said the internet claims her name is Josephine, a new young director, and that you’re bankrolling her career.”

“Are you investing a billion for Jacob’s illegitimate daughter to make a movie?”

“Walter asked me, ‘Isn’t your granddaughter–in–law named Aveline? Did she change her name?‘ I was so embarrassed I could feel my face turning red.”

Xavier said calmly, “Grandfather, what photo? They must have the wrong person. Don’t believe the nonsense you see online.”

There was anger in Rupert’s voice. “My eyesight might be failing, but I’m not blind. I knew it was your back the mo- ment I saw that picture, and that woman is definitely not Aveline.”

“I’m asking you, who is that woman exactly? Is it really Jacob’s illegitimate daughter, or some other woman?”

Xavier replied, “I understand. I’ll have someone look into it. If it’s really a photo of me, I’ll have it taken care of.”

Rupert wouldn’t let it go. “Is this woman the reason Aveline said she wants to divorce you?”

Xavier smiled, “Grandpa, Aveline isn’t going to divorce me. She’s just throwing a fit. Didn’t I tell you the other night? Once that property agreement is signed, she’ll calm down. Besides, she already moved into Parkview Estates today.”

Rupert’s tone softened, “She moved back?

What about you? Did you move to Parkview Estates too?”

Xavier replied, “It’s a bit far from Parkview Estates to the office, so it’s not convenient. But don’t worry, I’ll still go back to Parkview Estates to sleep whenever I’m not busy.”

Of course, Rupert still wanted Xavier to prioritize his career, and he snorted,

“You’d better know what you’re doing. In any case, I will absolutely not approve of you and Aveline getting a di-

vorce.”

With that, Rupert hung up.

Xavier’s expression was indifferent as he called Claude, telling him to look into the photos circulating online.

Claude had actually already seen the photo and told Xavier,

“Mr. Beltran, a photo of you and Ms. Sutton standing on the balcony looking at the city skyline is circulating on a Gossip Forum online. It only shows your backs.”

Xavier frowned, “Then why didn’t you report it?”

Claude: “…I, I thought it was…”

In the end, he didn’t dare to say he thought Josephine had uploaded it, because if he did, he wouldn’t know if Mr. Bel- tran would be happy or not.

Xavier said in a low voice, “Take care of it immediately. Don’t leave any traces of it online.”

“Yes, Mr. Beltran, I’ll handle it right away.”

Xavier thought for a moment. “Send me that photo.”

After hanging up, Claude immediately sent the photo to Xavier.

Xavier took one look and saw it was a picture taken just now when he and Josephine were standing on the balcony of the private dining room.

He walked in from the balcony, his dark eyes cold as he looked at Gerald. “Did you just take a picture of me and Josephine?”

Gerald glanced at Josephine. “Yeah, I did. What’s wrong?”

Xavier’s expression turned cold. “Then why did you post it online?”

A flicker of surprise crossed Gerald’s eyes. “I…”

He looked over at Josephine, so Xavier didn’t see the change in his expression.

Josephine and Gerald met eyes, and there was a subtle plea in hers.

Gerald smiled, turning to Xavier. “What’s the big deal? I just posted it on my Social Feed.”

Josephine picked up on Gerald’s cue and added, “I saw it on Gerald’s Social Feed and shared it on mine, too. There’s nothing wrong with the photo, is there?”
