Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25

But Josephine said, “Your mom had sold these paintings already, but Dad bought them back. But of course, if you like them that much, you can ask Dad to leave them to you after he passes away. I won’t say anything. But now, you can’t take them away because Dad really likes these paintings.”

Her shamelessness really stunned Aveline.

Jasmine and Fiona felt that it was highly likely Josephine was talking nonsense. But they were just outsiders, so they couldn’t say anything and could only look at Aveline, wanting to know what she was going to do next.

Aveline sneered at Josephine, “You’re really good at lying. No screenwriters can beat you when it comes to making up stories.”

If Jacob really had the conscience to buy all of Bethany’s paintings back, he wouldn’t have taken his mistress and ille- gitimate daughter home in the first place.

Josephine held the paper box and hid behind Xavier, saying, “I’m telling the truth. But I can’t do anything if you still don’t believe me. Anyway, I can’t let you take these paintings away.”

Aveline looked at Xavier.

Xavier also looked at her. But his eyes were calm, and he didn’t say anything. It seemed that he was on Josephine’s side.

Seeing this, Fiona couldn’t help but spit, “Shit! Xavier, you’re gonna help her?”

Xavier said lightly, “Aveline, why don’t you have a talk with your dad? He also has the right to keep your mom’s paintings.”

With that, he turned his head and looked at Fiona, adding, “You’re a lawyer, so you should know about this right very clearly.”

He was obviously implying that Fiona, as a lawyer, broke the law and helped Aveline steal the paintings.

Fiona snorted, “I am a lawyer, but I’m also a human being with a basic human conscience.”

While saying, she stepped forward.

But Aveline grabbed Fiona’s hand and stopped her. “Fiona, it’s fine. Let’s go.”

Then, she gave Jasmine a glance and walked outside.

At this time, Hilda suddenly spoke up, “Mr. Beltran, they’ve already moved a lot of paintings in the studio onto their

cars.”

But Aveline didn’t pause in her steps, seemingly not afraid that Xavier would snatch those paintings.

Josephine suddenly said to Xavier, “Darling, I’m afraid of Aveline. Can you help me take those paintings back?”

But Xavier said to her, “Didn’t you come back to get the script? Go get it.”

On the other hand, after Aveline walked out of the house, she still didn’t see Xavier come out to help Josephine take those paintings. It looked like he still held the decency of the CEO of the Beltran Group and wouldn’t snatch a wom- an’s things by force.

Fiona snorted, “He’s finally done something decent. Anyway, I was sure he knew Josephine was bullshitting.”

Jasmine looked at Aveline and said, “Fortunately, you put some of the paintings in the car in advance. Looks like we have to find another time to get the remaining few paintings back.”

Aveline’s mood was down because she knew that after today, Jacob would definitely strengthen his precautions, and it wouldn’t be easy for her to find another chance to get those paintings back.

“Fiona, Jasmine, thank you very much for everything today. I’m already quite glad to have some of them back. As for the rest, just take it as my mom already sold them before.”

Fiona patted Aveline’s shoulder, comforting her, “We can still go through legal procedures and obtain at least 5% of the company’s equity. Although you can’t get full control of the company, it’s still good to have dividends.

“As for the property and equity under your dad’s name, as well as those paintings, I will try my best to help you find a way. See if I can help you get them back through legal proceedings. But it may depend on whether your dad has a conscience.”

Aveline nodded.

Bethany didn’t leave a will, so Aveline could only split the 10% of the equity equally with Jacob.

As for Jacob having a conscience? Aveline sneered in her heart. She knew it was not a possible thing, unless the baby that came out of Courtney’s belly wasn’t his.

Later, Aveline, Fiona, and Jasmine went to have lunch and also packed a portion for Julian before they left the restau-
