Chapter 395
“The day of your accident, your two sisters and your mother were all traveling abroad. I only got the call and rushed over after you were already in surgery. When I got to the hospital, I only saw Aveline.”
“But back then, I had never met Jacob’s illegitimate daughter, so I’m not sure if she was at the hospital or not.”
“I was scared to death at the time. I couldn’t think about anything else, just hoping you would be okay.”
“But, Xavier, whether Aveline really deceived us or not, Jacob’s illegitimate daughter is definitely not a good person. Stirring this up now, she clearly has an ulterior motive.”
“You stay away from that woman.”
Xavier said flatly, “Yeah, I know.”
“What do you know? Didn’t you invest a billion in her movie?”
Xavier replied, “The investment is already made. I can’t pull it.”
Rupert looked at him intently. “Are you helping her like this because you think she’s the one who saved you?”
Xavier met Rupert’s gaze. “Grandpa…”
“Don’t try to fool me. I may be old, but my mind is still sharp.
Leona wouldn’t stir up trouble for no reason, and you wouldn’t be this good to Josephine without a cause.”
“Unless you’re lying to me, and you’re actually in love with Josephine, not Aveline.”
Xavier replied, “I love Aveline.”
“Then I can only assume this: you knew all along that Aveline deceived you, but you love her, so you tolerated her lies, never exposed her, got engaged to her, and then officially registered the marriage, right?”
Xavier’s expression tightened, but he didn’t speak.
Rupert kept staring at him. “Aveline feels guilty, so that’s why she wants to divorce you?”
Xavier shook his head. “No.”
“Then what’s the reason?”
Xavier paused for a moment. “Because I’ve been good to Josephine.”
Rupert let out a heavy snort.
After that, the study fell silent.
