Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 115

Carl felt it was mainly because Xavier didn’t fully appreciate Aveline’s talent yet; he would once he got to know her better. So, he said:

“Mr. Beltran, since we’ve run into each other, why don’t we all have dinner together?”

Before Xavier could say anything, Leona cut in with an impatient look, “Why don’t you ask Aveline if she wants to have dinner with us?”

Jessica and Carl were taken aback.

They recognized her as the Heiress of the. From her tone, it seemed she didn’t like Aveline.

They looked over at Aveline.

Julian frowned, displeased with Leona’s sudden hostility, but he couldn’t speak on Aveline’s behalf, so he also looked toward her.

Aveline said coolly, “As the lead architect for the Mount Ardwood Theme Park project, I can’t avoid having meals with Mr. Beltran, whether I like it or not. But there’s absolutely no need for the rest of you to be there.”

Gerald scoffed, “Aveline, so it’s true. You don’t care about anyone here except for Xavier.”

Aveline replied to him, “The Beltran Group is paying me a high fee to be the architect, so I have to show Mr. Beltran some respect. It has nothing to do with whether I look down on anyone.”

If it weren’t for the’s very high pay, and the fact that the project would be a brilliant addition to her career, there’s no way she would be dealing with Xavier.

Xavier laughed, “Thanks for showing me that much respect, Aveline. But I can’t exactly kick my friends out just for that.”

Aveline met his gaze coolly. “In that case, forget it.”

“Jessica, Carl, let’s go in.”

With that, she gave Julian a meaningful look, and the two of them headed into the restaurant first.

Jessica and Carl awkwardly said their goodbyes to Xavier and followed them.

Seeing how arrogant Aveline was acting, Josephine gritted her teeth, wondering how Aveline, who used to be so sub- servient around Xavier, had suddenly become so bold.

Leona was also very annoyed. She snapped at Xavier, “Look at that condescending face of hers. She’s already this ar- rogant, and you still want to give her shares in the? Are you afraid she doesn’t have enough nerve to embarrass the Zimmerman family?”

Xavier said calmly, “We’re in public. Keep your temper in check.

Let’s go inside.”

As they walked into the restaurant, Benjamin Palmer pulled Josephine to the back and asked her in a low voice, “Is Xavier giving shares of the to Aveline?”

Josephine frowned and said impatiently, “My darling didn’t want to. It was the Patriarch’s idea. He has no choice; he

has to do it.

Besides, it’s just a small stake in the Mount Ardwood Theme Park. It’s nothing.”

Benjamin said, “I’m telling you, you need to be more careful. Aveline is using the Patriarch’s fondness for her to take a lot of Xavier’s assets. There won’t be much left by the time it’s your turn.”

Even though Benjamin was practically whispering, Josephine still glanced nervously at the back of Xavier walking

ahead of them.

Then, Josephine shot Benjamin a fierce glare. “Don’t just say things like that in public.”

Benjamin pursed his lips and muttered, “I was just looking out for you.”

Once Aveline and the others were in the private dining room, Jessica couldn’t help but ask, “Aveline, are you on bad terms with Mr. Beltran, or with Ms. Beltran?”

Aveline smiled faintly and replied, “That whole group… I’m on bad terms with every single one of them.”

Jessica and Carl exchanged a surprised look.

Carl asked, “Then why did Mr. Beltran hire you as the lead architect for a project worth tens of billions?”

Aveline replied, “Didn’t you just hear him? He had to hire me because of Mr. Clarke.”

Jessica said, “And you accepted.”

Aveline smiled faintly. “Why say no to money? It’s not a small amount.”
