As soon as Sebastian said this, the room fell silent.

Aveline’s lips curved into a cold smile. She thought to herself that Josephine never missed an opportunity to slander her, unloading on anyone she found who knew her.

Fiona said irritably, “Brother, that’s what you call the guilty party pointing the finger first.”

Jasmine and Julian exchanged a look. Jasmine said, “Mr. Harmon, you can’t believe what Josephine says.”

Sebastian smiled. “How could I possibly take her word for it?

It’s just that she asked me to convince Aveline to go apologize to her mom. I just found it a bit funny.”

“She also said that Aveline suing her paternal cousin made her mom very angry, and that they’re considering suing Aveline too.”

Fiona snorted and said to Aveline, “See? My brother is a discerning person. He doesn’t fall for Josephine’s tricks at all, unlike some people who are just blind and can’t tell right from wrong.”

Aveline knew Fiona was mocking Xavier, but she remained silent with a detached expression.

Sebastian stayed for half an hour. Seeing that it was getting close to evening, he decided to leave, since he couldn’t possibly stay at the hospital for dinner.

Aveline told Jasmine and Julian to take Sebastian and Fiona to dinner, so they left together.

Aveline had been in the hospital room all day and felt stuffy, so she went out to the balcony for some fresh air.

She was in a VIP room, so the balcony overlooked a beautiful landscaped garden. With a quick glance, she saw a fa- miliar figure.

It was Xavier and Gerald, sitting on a bench and talking.

Aveline’s expression tightened, and she stared at them.

From this far away, even if she could read lips, she couldn’t make out what they were saying. She could only see that Xavier looked cold, while Gerald was more expressive.

But Aveline could guess what they were talking about. It had to be about Eileen’s case, since Gerald was Eileen’s lawyer.

Ha, Xavier was really something. He kept saying she was his wife and that he cared about her, but behind her back, he was meeting with the lawyer of the person she was accusing to discuss the case.

Aveline found the sight jarring. She couldn’t even enjoy the beautiful view anymore and turned to go back into her

room.

In the garden, Gerald said to Xavier, “The Beltran Group’s technicians took a look. They saw a slight moving shadow, which could be Eileen moving her foot, but honestly, that doesn’t prove Eileen tripped Aveline.”

Seeing Xavier remain silent with an inscrutable expression, Gerald continued, “I wonder if the police will be able to see it, or how they’ll interpret it.”

Xavier said flatly, “The technicians came to a conclusion that quickly?”

Gerald thought he was implying the technicians were being careless, so he said, “It’s just a preliminary finding. I told them to keep analyzing it, frame by frame.”

“Eileen is taking this very hard. She says she was framed and begged me to do my best to defend her.”

“Xavier, Aveline has really gone too far this time. You have to talk some sense into her. If this really goes to court and the media runs wild with it, you’ll lose face.”

Xavier said calmly, “Let’s wait for the police’s findings. If the’s technicians can see it, the police definitely can too.”

“So, Xavier, how do you want me to handle the defense for this case?”

Xavier looked at Gerald with his dark, deep eyes. “You’re Eileen’s lawyer. You should be discussing this with her, not me.”

Gerald gave a helpless smile. “Josie said it was your idea for me to defend Eileen. I thought you might have some thoughts on it.”
