Chapter 383
In the short two weeks Bryan drove for Xavier, Leona had only seen him once and had never even spoken to him.
With a serious expression, Leona walked to the armchair and sat down. “You sit down, too. Don’t be nervous. I’m not going to hurt you.”
Bryan sat down and gave a nervous chuckle. “Why would the Heiress hurt me? I’m just afraid Mr. Beltran will be fu- rious if he finds out I’m back in the country.”
Leona reassured him, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t let him find you.
When this is over, I’ll send you back. Or, after it’s done, the Patriarch will protect you.”
Bryan lowered his head, his eyes flickering. “The Heiress, what do you need me to do?”
“Who really saved Mr. Beltran back then?”
Bryan kept his head down, avoiding Leona’s gaze. “Haven’t I told you? It was Isabella, Aveline.”
Leona scoffed, “If it was really her, would you have lost your job?
Mr. Beltran would have definitely let you return to work at the.”
“Amy came back from the hospital to drive for Mr. Beltran. You should have gone back to your job in HR. Why did- n’t you return to the?”
“You’re unemployed now, aren’t you?”
Bryan smiled awkwardly, “Heiress, Mr. Beltran has been supporting me, so I’m not short on money.”
Leona scoffed again, “I heard you have a gambling habit. Your wife couldn’t stand it, divorced you, and has already remarried.”
“Aveline gave you a lot of money, didn’t she?”
An uneasy look flashed across Bryan’s face, “I… I’ve never taken money from Isabella.”
Leona saw it and knew he was lying out of guilt.
“Don’t be afraid. Even if you lied to us before, I’ll protect you as long as you tell the Patriarch the truth now.”
“If you want money, I’ll give it to you. If you want a job, I can get you one. If you want to start a business, I’ll help you.‘
“All you
have to do is expose Aveline’s despicable act of deceiving the and posing as Mr. Beltran’s savior.”
As she said this, a sinister look appeared on Leona’s face.

Bryan glanced nervously at Leona, his hand trembling a little as he picked up his drink and took a sip.

Seeing him act like this, Leona grew more suspicious. She was now certain that Aveline had pretended to be Xavier’s savior all those years ago.
“Don’t be afraid. I can take you to see the Patriarch right now. You can tell him the truth about what happened back then yourself.”
Bryan shifted uncomfortably. “The Heiress, don’t force me. It really was the elder Ms. Sutton who saved him. If you don’t believe me, ask Mr. Beltran.”
Leona’s expression turned sharp. “You’ve already told Mr. Beltran the truth, so what are you still afraid of?”
“It was Josephine, right?
Back then, it was Ms. Josephine who saved my brother Xavier, wasn’t it?”
Bryan stared at Leona in shock. “Leona, what are you talking about?”
“No, that’s not what happened. It was really the elder Ms. Sutton, Aveline.”
Hearing him stammer, Leona was even more convinced he was hiding something.
“Alright, let’s go. We’re going to see the Patriarch. You must tell him that Josephine saved Mr. Beltran. The Patriarch and I will both protect you.”
“Ugh, and my mom.”
“This is infuriating. How could you have said it was Aveline back then? You made my mom think Aveline was some Guardian Angel, forcing Xavier to get engaged to her, and then to get a marriage certificate with her.”
“Bryan, you have to tell the truth today.”
Bryan had a pained expression. “The Heiress, the truth is that Aveline saved Mr. Beltran. You can’t force me.”
