Chapter 358
He was in charge of the, and the Patriarch surely wanted him to have a child soon. He had to consider producing an heir, which meant letting her go, remarrying, and then having a child.
It didn’t matter. She had to stay calm. No matter how long the divorce proceedings dragged on, she wouldn’t let it af- fect her career.
Once she was successful in her career and had made a name for herself, Xavier wouldn’t be able to get away with dragging out the divorce.
Having thought it through and come to a resolution, Aveline stopped worrying about it.
In the following days, Xavier didn’t call or text her again.
On Friday at noon, as Aveline was having lunch, a message came in from Xavier,
[My flight is at two this afternoon.]
Aveline ignored him as always, but she knew he was starting to report his every move again.
Sure enough, when he got to the airport, he sent another message.
[At the
airport)
[Boarding.]
[Your husband is about to fly at over 30,000 feet, and you don’t even care a little.]
Aveline resisted the urge to snap back.
Give him the cold shoulder. She had to give him the cold shoulder.
His strategy was to constantly annoy and provoke her, hoping she’d get fed up and respond.
If she replied, she would lose.
Getting off work early in the afternoon, Aveline headed back to the city with Jasmine and Julian.
Aveline had told Collin and Paulina she would be back for dinner.
Jasmine was in Aveline’s car, scrolling through her Social Feed on her phone.
She scoffed, then turned to Aveline, who was driving. “Your husband’s spending money on his darling again.”
The road ahead was clear. With a faint expression, Aveline quickly glanced over at Jasmine.
Jasmine saw Aveline looking at her and continued, “Marjorie screenshotted Josephine’s Social Feed. The caption said

“I saw the picture. It’s a painting worth over ten million, by a Singaporean artist.”

Aveline listened and thought about how Xavier was still on a plane. He probably took a picture and sent it to Josephine, so Josephine posted it on her Social Feed to show off.
Jasmine glanced at Aveline’s cold expression and said, “Ava, I see Marjorie is always screenshotting and reposting from Josephine’s Social Feed. Josephine must be telling her to do it.”
“She knows Marjorie and I are good friends, so she’s using me to let you know that Xavier is always spending money on her, always treating her so well.”
A cold smile touched the corner of Aveline’s mouth. She asked, “Is the picture of my mom’s painting that Marjorie posted before still up? Is the caption still there?”
Jasmine specifically checked and replied, “It’s still there.”
“Screenshot it and forward it to me, including the one from today.”
Jasmine was curious. “What are you planning to do, confront Xavier?”
Aveline said flatly, “Yeah.”
So, Jasmine took the screenshots and forwarded them to Aveline’s WhatsApp.
Back in the city, Aveline first dropped Jasmine off at her home, then went to her maternal grandparents‘ house.
Her maternal grandparents were naturally happy to see her back. Her grandmother hugged her and said she had gotten thinner again.
Aveline smiled. “I’ve been eating a lot, don’t worry. I’ve been taking care of myself and eating well.”
Her grandmother sighed. “I really worry about you, a young woman running around a construction site.”
