Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137

Xavier went up to the second floor and saw Josephine standing alone in the hallway outside the private dining room. When she saw him, she said with a worried look:

“Rupert sent us out.

Did we do something wrong? Should we not have come to greet him?”

“My parents said that since we ran into him, it would be too rude not to say hello. I didn’t expect my sister to get upset and just storm off.”

Xavier looked at her with a cool gaze. Before he could speak, the door to the private dining room opened, and the but- ler came out and said,

“Sir, Rupert wants you to come in.”

Xavier glanced at Josephine and followed the butler into the private dining room.

Rupert was sitting on the sofa with a grim face. Lauren was pouring him tea. When she saw Xavier come in, she quickly gave him a look, signaling that Rupert was in a very bad mood.

Rupert heard the noise but kept his eyes down, not glancing at Xavier, and just asked:

“Have Christopher Baldwin and Mr. Li left?”

Xavier walked up to Rupert. “Yes, I personally saw them to their car.”

Rupert looked up at him. “Why didn’t you have the driver take them?”

“Aveline wanted to drive herself.”

Lauren chimed in, “Aveline is getting more and more headstrong. She wasn’t like this before.”

Rupert gave her a heavy look.

Lauren didn’t dare to speak again. She put down the teapot and went to sit to the side.

Rupert looked at Xavier. “Although tonight was an accident, and I didn’t expect Jacob to bring that mother and daugh- ter here to greet me, it’s understandable that Christopher and Mr. Li were uncomfortable, and that Aveline was an- gry.”

“You saw it just now. Jacob and that mother–daughter pair didn’t even greet Christopher and Mr. Li.

It was my oversight just now. I should have had the butler ask them to leave immediately.”

Xavier kept his eyes down and said nothing, adopting a posture of humbly accepting the lesson.

Chapter 137

Rupert was very satisfied with his attitude and continued, “Since you said you’re throwing a birthday banquet for me, then do it properly. Use this opportunity to announce your marriage to Aveline to the public. Christopher and Mr. Li will definitely be honored guests, so you must remember, do not let Jacob and that mother–daughter pair show up at my birthday banquet.”

He emphasized at the end, “Understood?”

Xavier said lightly, “If we don’t send Jacob an invitation, they naturally won’t be able to come.”

Rupert stood up. “Let’s go home.”

The butler quickly came over to support him.

Xavier and Lauren walked behind. When they reached the parking lot and Rupert got in the car, Lauren couldn’t help but complain to Xavier,

“It was just a coincidence that Jacob and that mother–daughter pair were eating here. We didn’t know. Aveline is so undignified. They were just respecting your grandfather and me, coming over to say hello before leaving. If she had just tolerated it for a moment, it would have been over. But Aveline had to make such a scene, and now your grandfa- ther is unhappy too.”

Xavier said lightly, “Mom, get in the car.”

Lauren took a step, then suddenly thought of something and turned back to ask Xavier, “It’s been two months since you and Aveline got your marriage certificate, right? Is there no news from her?”

Xavier was confused. “What news?”
