Chapter 216
How could the officer believe that? He asked, “Why did you ask him to kick you?”
Xavier said coldly, “Because he knows it’s wrong to lay hands on a woman, and he feels guilty.
Right, Vincent?”
Vincent looked at Xavier in terror, unable to speak.
Because if he said yes, it would be an admission of guilt, and he would definitely be detained.
Didn’t Josephine call Xavier to save him? How did it come to this?
Vincent started shouting, “Josie, Josie, where are you? Come over here!”
An officer went over to stop him. “What’s all the shouting? Shut up. Keep it up and I’ll throw you in a cell.”
Vincent had no choice but to yell at Gerald, “Mr. Henderson, save me.”
Gerald had come to his senses by then, grabbing Xavier with one hand and pulling him outside. Only after they left the room did he ask:
“Xavier, what the hell are you playing at?
Are you trying to make Vincent plead guilty?”
“You saw the surveillance video. It was just a misunderstanding.
No, that’s not right. Aveline framed him. No matter how stupid Vincent is, he wouldn’t try to hurt her in a parking garage with cameras.”
“Josie and Eileen were witnesses. Didn’t you understand what Josie just said? Vincent’s real intention was to…”
Xavier cut Gerald off coldly, “If you think Vincent is innocent, then let’s see if you’re good enough to get him acquit- ted.”
Gerald couldn’t figure out what Xavier meant. “Do you want me to defend Vincent, or not?”
Josephine and Benjamin heard Vincent’s shouts and had just run over. Hearing what Gerald said, Josephine ex- claimed:
“Ah, Gerald, are you not going to defend Vin anymore?”
How could Gerald refuse Josephine? He ignored Xavier’s intentions and quickly replied to her,
“No way. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to defend Vincent.”

Chapter 216
Josephine still found it strange and looked at Xavier. “Xav, is there a problem?”
Xavier said coolly, “Like I said, it all depends on Gerald’s skills as a lawyer.”
After saying that, he started to leave.
Josephine instinctively grabbed his arm. “Where are you going?”
Xavier replied, “I’m taking your sister to the hospital.”

Hearing this, Josephine was instantly displeased and tightened her grip on Xavier’s arm, not wanting to let go.
Xavier glanced down at her hand, signaling for her to let go.
Josephine didn’t dare to defy Xavier. After all, since she’d known him, she had maintained a sweet and submissive persona, which was why he liked and pitied her. If she were forceful, he would definitely be put off.
Aveline just doesn’t know how to act fragile, which is why she couldn’t win Xavier’s heart.
Men just like delicate wives. This was a truth her mother had told her; her mom had captured her dad’s heart with that
same persona.
Josephine firmly believed this, so even though she was reluctant, she let go.
She even pretended to be considerate, saying, “Yes, you should hurry and take my sister to the hospital. If her treat- ment is delayed and it leaves a scar, that would be terrible. My sister really cares about her looks and would be very upset.”
“But, if Gerald can’t get Vin out, could you…”
Josephine hoped Xavier would use his power or connections.
Xavier cut her off in a flat tone, “Gerald will handle it.”
After speaking, he walked toward Aveline.
Josephine frowned, a worried look on her face.
She was putting on a show for Gerald.
Gerald quickly comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best. And if I really can’t handle it, Xavier will step in. He’d never let you be sad or upset.”
Josephine was naturally happy to hear that, because Gerald was Xavier’s childhood friend and knew him best.
If he said Xavier would never let her be sad or upset, then it must be true.
