Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384

But since Leona had said so, and she seemed fine, he didn’t ask any more questions.

Leona asked sharply, “Bryan, are you going to see the Patriarch with me or not?”

Bryan flinched and looked at Barry with pleading eyes.

Barry remained silent.

Bryan said, “The Heiress, let me think about it.”

Leona frowned, then considered it. “Fine, tomorrow. You must come with me to see the Patriarch tomorrow. Think it over carefully today.”

“Doing as I say will only benefit you.”

After speaking, she said to Barry, “Barry, please keep an eye on him for the day.”

Barry nodded.

Leona then left.

Barry glanced at Bryan, wanting to ask what was going on, but decided it was better not to get involved. It might just be a power struggle between the siblings.

Barry also left the room, closing the door behind him.

Bryan glanced around, a strange smile appearing on his face.

The look of panic and unease vanished without a trace.

On Friday afternoon, Aveline and Jasmine didn’t return to the city. They were afraid that if they went back and took two days off, they would lose their train of thought on the amusement park project’s design.

Julian wasn’t on the amusement park project, so he went back to the city.

Aveline and Jasmine were having dinner at the Beltran Hotel’s buffet. As they were eating, they sensed a tall figure walk up to their table.

She looked up and saw Xavier.

He was holding a plate, pulled out the chair next to Aveline, and sat down.

Jasmine looked at Aveline, not knowing how to react.

Aveline looked at Xavier coldly. “You sat down without even asking. Did it occur to you that we might not want you here?”

Xavier glanced at her and said calmly, “Aveline, am I not allowed to sit here?”

“Are you trying to make me leave?”

What he said implied that he was the president of the, and Aveline was the lead architect for their project. Was she re- ally going to forbid the president of her client from dining with her?

Jasmine sighed to herself. After Xavier said that, how could Aveline not let him sit?

Sure enough, Aveline coldly averted her gaze, said nothing more, and went back to eating her dinner.

If he was interacting with her as the president of the, and only talked business, not personal matters, she couldn’t make him leave.

Xavier said, “Aveline and David, staying at Mount Ardwood to work on the weekend. I appreciate your hard work.” Aveline said coolly, “No need to thank us, Mr. Beltran. Our studio took the project, and we’re committed to doing a great job.”

Xavier looked at her and smiled slightly. “Mr. Clarke recommended you, Aveline. I have faith in your professional- ism.”

Aveline didn’t answer him and just kept eating.

Xavier watched her intently for a moment, then also fell silent and focused on his meal.

The three of them ate in silence. It was very quiet.

Jasmine felt awkward. There were things she wanted to say to Aveline, but she didn’t want Xavier to overhear.

It wasn’t anything he couldn’t hear, but it was girl talk, which felt a bit awkward.

As they were eating, the driver, Amy, walked over. “Mr. Beltran…”

Xavier looked up at her. “Go ahead.”

Amy glanced hesitantly at Aveline.

Xavier said calmly, “It’s fine. Go on.”

Aveline noticed Amy’s glance and said, “Should we step away?”

Xavier smiled. “No need. It’s nothing you can’t hear.”

Then he gestured for Amy to speak.

Amy then said, “I had someone check. Bryan isn’t at his place.”

Hearing this, Aveline frowned slightly, because she had heard that name before.
