Chapter 416
“See? Josie was so seared of having her blood drawn, but to save you, she suppressed her fear and went through with it even while trembling.”
“And where was Aveline at that time?
Hmph, she only went to the hospital later and then lied about being your lifesaver.”
“I went to Josie’s house yesterday and had her show me that pair of shoes.”
“Xavier, are you still going to protect Aveline?
Are you planning to spend the rest of your life with a liar?”
Xavier coolly pushed the phone away. “Leona, are you that eager for me to get a divorce?”
“Aveline is my wife. Isn’t it a matter of course that I protect her?”
Leona’s face hardened as she took back the phone. “Josie has been so loyal and devoted to you, but you’ve been heartless to her.”
“Xavier, I never thought you were this kind of person.”
Xavier stared at her with cold, dark eyes. “How am I being heartless?”
Haven’t I spent enough money on her? I invested a billion to help her become a director, wasn’t that enough?”
“That commercial for the shopping plaza, her director’s fee alone was ten million. Just for one commercial. Even veteran, famous directors don’t make that much.”
“Is getting a divorce the only way I can repay her?”
“Leona, what’s your real motive? Why are you so determined to make me get a divorce?”
Leona choked, then said angrily, “You’re just convinced my motives aren’t pure, aren’t you?”
“Dad’s shares all went to you. Even our eldest uncle couldn’t compete with you. How could I possibly compete with you?”
Xavier said coldly, “Good that you know. So just as you’re clear–headed enough to know you can’t

fight for the, you should also be clear–headed enough to know you can’t meddle in my marriage.”
Leona said. “Did you know the Patriarch is already investigating what happened back then?”
“If the Patriarch investigates and proves Aveline lied to our family, do you think he’ll let you get a divorce?”
“Do you dare tell the Patriarch not to meddle in your marriage?”
Xavier said coldly, “You can leave now.‘
Then he pressed the intercom and called for Ryan to come in.
Ryan quickly opened the door and came in. Xavier said, “Show her out. And from now on, if anyone comes to see me, you must announce them first.”
Ryan felt wronged.
Of course he knew to announce people, but it was just a coincidence. When Leona arrived, Amy was just opening the door to leave, and Leona went straight in. He didn’t even have a chance to announce her.
Ryan looked at Leona, indicating that it was time for her to leave.
Leona gave an angry look at Xavier, who was watching her coldly with his hands crossed on the desk, then turned and left.
Not long after, the butler from the Beltran’s mansion called and told Xavier that the Patriarch wanted him to come back to the mansion for dinner tonight.
“The Eldest Master has been discharged from the hospital and is back in the city. His whole family is coming to the mansion for dinner, so the Patriarch wants you, the Heiress, and the Second Miss to come back too.”
Xavier agreed.
After work, Xavier headed to the Beltran’s mansion.
As soon as he entered, he saw the living room was lively, with Valentina’s and Mason’s voices being especially loud.
Seeing Xavier, Valentina immediately ran over. “Uncle, you’re back.”
Xavier bent down and picked her up. “I haven’t seen you in a few days, and it looks like you’ve gotten a little taller, Valentina.”

Valentina was very happy. “Really?
Uncle. I’ve been a good girl and drinking my milk every day, so I got taller.”
Xavier smiled. “Such a good girl.”
“Uncle, is Aveline still at Mount Ardwood?
I miss her.”
