Chapter 130
“Well, here’s the thing. A few days ago, I saw people online discussing Josephine. They said Mr. Beltran is her sugar daddy, that he got her a commercial for the’s new plaza, and that he invested a billion in her first movie.
There’s been talk online…”
At this point, Miranda couldn’t go on.
From Miranda’s expression, Aveline could tell people online were probably saying Josephine was with Xavier, that they were a couple.
Collin said with a grim face, “Aveline, is Xavier getting really close to that illegitimate daughter of Jacob’s?
Are they very close?”
Aveline lowered her eyes, pursing her lips, hesitating whether to tell her maternal grandparents about her plan to di- vorce Xavier.
Paulina saw her expression and thought she was admitting it. She sighed in anger, “Why are Courtney and Josephine so wicked? That mother–daughter pair harmed my daughter, and now they’re harming my granddaughter.”
Aveline was startled. She looked up at her grandmother, then at her grandfather. Seeing his face had turned a little red, she got scared and quickly said:
“Grandpa, Grandma, it wasn’t Xavier himself who invested in Josephine’s movie. It was the that invested in her film, so I didn’t pay it any mind. You two shouldn’t worry about it either.”
“People online love to make wild guesses. You can’t let those internet rumors lead you by the nose.”
Aveline felt the most urgent thing was to calm her maternal grandparents‘ emotions first.
Especially her grandfather’s. If his blood pressure went up, it would be trouble.
As Aveline spoke, she shot a glare at Miranda, blaming her for telling her maternal grandparents the online gossip. She knew her grandfather had high blood pressure, yet she was still so reckless.
Miranda immediately lowered her head in guilt.
Collin sighed and said, “Aveline, I know you like Xavier a lot, but you can’t let him hurt your feelings because of it.”
Paulina nodded in agreement. “If he really is involved with Josephine, you… oh, you’d better not be as foolish as your mother was.”
Aveline quickly said, “I know, Grandpa, Grandma. Don’t worry, I won’t let myself be wronged.”
“There’s something I want to tell you. The Beltran Group is building a theme park on Mount Ardwood, an investment
of tens of billions. I’m the lead architect, and I’ve already signed the contract with the.
This is a major project that’s getting international attention. Not only will I get a handsome reward, but I’ll also gain international recognition in the industry through this project.”
Hearing this, Collin and Paulina were naturally surprised and delighted.
Paulina asked, “Did Xavier give you that project on purpose?”
Collin also looked at Aveline with hopeful eyes.
Aveline knew in her heart that her maternal grandparents hoped Xavier would value her, not just for her talent, but also give her special treatment because of their personal relationship.
Aveline considered her words for a moment and said, “He probably thinks I’m capable enough to handle such a big project. Besides, my college senior, Bernard Clarke, is an internationally renowned architect and he strongly recom- mended me. The Beltran Group had no reason not to hire me.”
Collin and Paulina didn’t understand these intricacies. Hearing Aveline say this, they thought she was reluctant to be hired by Xavier for personal reasons and preferred to be chosen for her talent.
Collin smiled. “Of course our Aveline is very talented, that’s why she could become the lead architect for such a hug project. Xavier isn’t an incompetent boss, either. He wouldn’t joke around with a project worth tens of billions.”
Paulina also nodded in relief.
All in all, because of this, Collin and Paulina let go of the matter concerning Josephine’s movie.
A billion compared to tens of billions was, of course, no comparison.
