Chapter 335
Claude felt like he was about to snap. He clenched his fists, struggling to keep his composure. “That… could your wife have misheard?”
Xavier glanced at Claude’s slightly twitching mouth, then at his clenched fist
“My wife is young. I’m sure her hearing is excellent.”
Hearing that, Claude felt as if he’d been pulled into a business negotiation.
This was exactly how Xavier operated in business negotiations, leaving his opponents defenseless and sweating.
He wasn’t overtly aggressive, but the effect was even more intimidating.
Xavier’s dark eyes were cool as his gaze returned to Claude’s face. “Give me one reason why you would do this behind my back.”
“Are you and Josephine very close?”
Claude was smart enough to have climbed to his current position. His mind raced, and he lowered his head, saying:
“Mr. Beltran, when you told me to buy that jewelry set for Ms. Josephine, I had no idea Rebecca had chosen it for your wife.”
Xavier demanded, “Didn’t you see the pictures?”
“I just glanced at them. I don’t know anything about women’s dresses and jewelry, so I didn’t pay much attention.”
“I’d already bought it for Ms. Josephine when Rebecca suddenly told me it was for your wife. I thought, Mr. Beltran, you’d already promised it to Ms. Josephine. If you backed out, you’d lose face.”
“Your wife is always so understanding. She probably wouldn’t mind and would be happy to pick something else.”
“And besides, Mr. Beltran, I genuinely think you treat Ms. Josephine very well.”
“You’ve given Ms. Josephine many expensive gifts before.”

Claude was gambling, betting that Xavier cared more about Josephine, that he valued her more
No, it was a fact that Xavier treated Josephine better. He didn’t even like Aveline.
Mr. Beltran must just be annoyed that he kept it from him and didn’t give him a heads-up.
However, as soon as the words left Claude’s mouth, he felt a chill wash over him from Xavier’s direction.
He couldn’t help but look up, only to meet a pair of frigid, dark eyes, seemingly frozen over, staring at him without a single blink.
A shiver ran through Claude.
Xavier saw this and laughed, as if finding it amusing that Claude was so afraid of him he was trembling.
To Claude, Mr. Beltran’s laugh was even more terrifying.
Xavier asked coldly, “Was the jewelry set delivered then?”
Claude knew he was asking if it had been delivered to Josephine, and he hesitated.
Because after he’d arranged it with the brand, he’d let Josephine pick it up herself. He honestly had no idea when she’d gone to get it.
“Mr. Beltran, I don’t know when Ms. Josephine went to pick it up.”
“So you never even thought to tell me?”
“Mr. Beltran, I…”
“Because you think Josephine is more important to me than my wife?”
Claude was at a loss for words.
Xavier stared at him coldly for a long moment. “Claude…”
“Yes, Mr. Beltran.”
“I admit, I treat Josephine well. But has there ever been a time I gave her something that she didn’t
ask for herself?”
“Has there ever been a single time I’ve given her a gift on my own initiative?”
Claude was speechless.
