Chapter 313
Aveline replied, “Okay, Fiona, thanks.”
After finishing her call with Fiona, Aveline walked out to the balcony and looked up at the vast, bright sky
As she watched, her heart began to calm down.
The phone in her hand rang. She glanced down and saw it was a call from Xavier.
She didn’t hang up immediately. She hesitated for a moment as it kept ringing, as if he wouldn’t give up until she answered.
She answered, but didn’t say anything.
Xavier chuckled. “Well, this is a rare occasion.”
Aveline knew he was teasing her for finally answering his call.
When she remained silent, Xavier said, “So if you hadn’t filed for divorce, you wouldn’t have answered my call, right?”
Aveline said coolly, “What do
you
want?”
“What do I want? You just filed for divorce, what else could it be about?”
“Wow, Aveline. You really went through with it.‘
Aveline got angry and said in a cold voice, “And you haven’t been cruel to me?
“This didn’t happen overnight. You’ve been heartless and cruel, you never cared about my feelings. I’m asking for a divorce, so what right do you have to accuse me of being cruel?”
Xavier was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, “Aveline, I like you. That’s why I’m with you.”
“But you’re not honest with me. I don’t know if I can believe that you like me too.”
Aveline scoffed. “Xavier, get lost.”
With that, she hung up the phone.

A little while later. Xavier sent a text: I’m keeping the fact that you filed for divorce from Grandpa. I hope you’ll keep it from him too. Don’t tell him. J
Aveline stared at the message.
It seemed Xavier had used his connections to keep her divorce filing quiet and handle it discreetly.
Hmph, he probably wasn’t afraid of Rupert finding out. After all, the Patriarch knew she was determined to get a divorce.
He was afraid the whole city would find out that the man in charge of the was married and now facing a divorce lawsuit.
Aveline replied with a cold expression: [If I liked to run my mouth, I would have announced it to the world when we got our marriage certificate.]
[But the whole world knows you’re throwing money at some young, beautiful female director.]
Xavier replied, [You know why I’m helping Josephine.]
Aveline: [Yes, she’s the daughter of the other woman. She can’t be your wife, but you can keep her as your mistress.]
[She’d be willing, because that’s how her mom got ahead.]
As soon as she sent that message, Xavier called.
Aveline hung up.
Xavier sent a text: [Answer my call.]
Aveline ignored him and went back inside to grab a beer from the fridge,
But she hesitated, and swapped it for a bottle of purified water.
Her phone was ringing with an incoming call.
She ignored it, twisted off the cap, and chugged more than half the bottle of cold water. The simmering anger in her chest eased a lot.
