Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 109

What’s the date today? Is it April Fool’s Day?”

As he spoke, he walked to the armchair and sat down, resting his arms on the armrests, his dark eyes fixed on Gerald. “Do you have any idea that if the Patriarch saw this agreement, he would kill me?”

Gerald asked in astonishment, “If not a divorce agreement, then what kind of agreement?”

“A property agreement. I asked you to prepare a property agreement.”

Xavier shot Gerald a look, picked up his cup to take a sip of coffee, found it was cold, and put it down with a slight frown.

Gerald was confused, “You don’t want a divorce?”

Xavier laughed, “Don’t be influenced by what Aveline said. Draft a new property agreement.

But, add in equity from the Mount Ardwood Theme Park.”

Gerald had a look of disbelief, “You’re really giving her equity in the Mount Ardwood Theme Park? That’s an asset of

the.

And Aveline already signed it. Fiona was also very pushy, telling me to rush you to book an appointment at the Reg- istry Office for the divorce proceedings.”

Xavier frowned, “That’s why you shouldn’t have drafted this divorce agreement in the first place.

I didn’t sign it, so it doesn’t count. Draft a new property agreement. She’ll sign it.”

“Then how should I reply to Fiona?”

Xavier smiled faintly, “Don’t we have a ready–made excuse? The Patriarch won’t let me treat her unfairly and wants me to give her equity in a Beltran Group asset.”

Gerald was speechless.

He hadn’t expected that Xavier had no intention of divorcing so soon. What about Josephine then?

It seemed the resistance from Rupert was too strong. Xavier still needed more time.

Back at Beacon, Gerald didn’t go looking for Fiona, but returned to his own office.

Fiona waited until it was almost the end of the morning, but when Gerald didn’t show up, she had to go find him her-

self.

“Well, look who’s back. Since you’re back, why didn’t you come see me?

Chapter 109

Isn’t Xavier in a hurry to get a divorce?

Weren’t you even more anxious than he was?”

Hearing Fiona’s sarcasm, Gerald snorted and said, “Aveline knows that Rupert doesn’t approve of the divorce, right?”

Fiona scoffed, “Can Rupert really stop Xavier once he’s made up his mind?”

“Stop beating around the bush. Did Xavier sign it? One copy for Aveline, and have you booked the appointment with the Registry Office?”

Gerald said, “The terms of the agreement need to be redrafted. The original one is void.”

Fiona was shocked. “Damn it, what the hell is Xavier playing at? If he doesn’t want to give Aveline a dime, he should just say so, and not play these despicable tricks.”

Gerald replied to her, “When I went to see Xavier, Rupert happened to be there. Rupert said Aveline shouldn’t be treated unfairly, so they need to add some shares.”

Fiona scoffed, “You think Xavier is willing to give up shares of the?”

Gerald laughed too. “Why wouldn’t he be? Xavier has always been generous.”

Fiona was stunned.

Was Xavier really planning to give Aveline shares in the?

“Hah, I’ll wait and see. But you’d better hurry up. Aveline is dead set on getting a divorce right now, so don’t drag your feet.”

After saying that, Fiona turned and left.

Gerald watched her leave, not telling her it was actually a property settlement, not a divorce agreement.

He thought Xavier was right. As long as they presented a generous property settlement, Aveline would definitely sign it. All this talk about divorce was just an act.
