Chapter 334
“Honestly, I wasn’t that impressed with the jewelry set. I just wanted it back then because it was the most expensive one.”
“Besides, I don’t know how much I’ll get from suing you for divorce. I might as well ask for more. If I don’t take it, you’re just going to give it to the other woman.”
Xavier’s face went cold. “There is no other woman.”
Aveline acted as if she hadn’t heard him and continued, “That day in your Fortune Suite, Jasmine and I both heard the brand representative tell Rebecca that Claude bought that jewelry set for you, to give to the other woman.’
Xavier cut her off, “Aveline, can you stop going on about ‘the other woman”? There is no…”
Aveline cut him off, “You’re a married man, so of course Josephine is the other woman. Did the law change? Is polygamy legal now? How come I didn’t hear about it?”
Xavier gripped his phone in anger. “You…”
“Stop interrupting me just because you feel guilty.”
“Rebecca called Claude, and he said he bought it because you told him to, and that it was for Josephine.”
“Rebecca was worried she’d have a hard time explaining things to me. She asked Claude why he didn’t remind you, since he knew she picked out that jewelry set for me.”
“Claude told her, ‘In Mr. Beltran’s eyes, who’s more important, Josephine or Aveline?”
“Right. So it seems your special assistant thinks you see the other woman as more important than me, your wife.”
“Rebecca is a good person. I don’t want her to get blamed for something she didn’t do, so I’m calling to speak up for her.”
“If the fires Rebecca, just have her come work for me. We’re starting a company and need to hire people anyway.”
“That’s it.”

With that, Aveline hung up
Xavier was stunned.
What had he just heard?
Navier texted Aveline, [Are you kidding me?]
[Has Claude lost his mind, talking like that?]
Aveline saw the two texts, scoffed, and replied,
[Who knows? Maybe you’re the one who gave him the guts to go crazy.]
Xavier’s face was cold as he pressed the intercom. “Claude, get in here.”
Claude said yes, then glanced at Rebecca, his heart starting to pound again.
Mr. Beltran’s tone was off. He was obviously angry.

Claude got up and walked to the office. The moment he entered, he saw Xavier pacing back and forth. When Xavier saw him, his dark eyes stared at him coldly.
“Mr. Beltran?”
Xavier stared at Claude with a scrutinizing gaze for a long moment, and Claude started to get scared under his stare.
Claude silently thought this was bad. It was the first time Mr. Beltran had ever stared at him like
that.
Claude swallowed involuntarily.
Xavier’s sharp eyes noticed. The corner of his mouth twitched with a faint, barely visible smile.
“Claude, how many years have you been with me?”
He said, walking over to an armchair and sitting down, then motioned for Claude to sit too.
Claude knew things were really bad. He regretted not calling Josephine to save him before he came in to see Mr. Beltran.
He didn’t sit, remaining on his feet as he answered, “Mr. Beltran, I joined the right after college. I started as just a junior assistant to you.”
Xavier’s dark eyes were fixed on the coffee table, not looking at him. He said lightly, “That’s right.

I had just graduated back then too.
So you’ve been with me for quite a few years now.”
