Chapter 438
Amy had seen them go downstairs with her own eyes. She even checked with the manager, who said he saw them get in their car and leave.
How did these two end up back here?
Jacob frowned and glared at Amy. Since the tall woman was blocking his way, he had to crane his neck to see past her.
“You see, Josie and I were having dinner here with my niece and nephew. We happened to hear the Patriarch was hosting a birthday celebration for my father–in–law, and I had his birthday gift in the car, planning to give it to him later.”
“But before we could even eat, the manager told us our private dining room needed to be
disinfected, so we left. On the way, we remembered we still had the birthday gift for my father–in- law, so we hurried back.”
“Father–in–law, take a look. This birthday gift is a tea set that Josie and her mother carefully picked out, since we heard you love tea.”
As he spoke, Jacob tried to get past Amy.
Amy blocked him, not letting him through.
But while Amy could block one person, she couldn’t block two. Josephine took the chance and slipped past her.
“Patriarch, Lauren, Collin, Paulina, Xav, Aveline, the manager startled us earlier, so we left. We’re so sorry, we forgot to come over and say hello.”
“Collin…”
“Get out!”
Xavier said coldly.
Josephine was stunned, the birthday wishes caught in her throat.
“Xav…”
“Get out.”

But Josephine just stood there, frozen.

Jacob was also startled. This wasn’t what Courtney had told him would happen. Xavier wasn’t showing any courtesy at all.
“No, son–in–law, Josie and I really just came to wish him a happy birthday and drop off a gift…”
He tried to get past Amy as he spoke, but having heard Xavier’s icy tone, Amy knew what Mr. Beltran wanted. She grabbed Jacob’s arm.
“Mr. Sutton, please leave.”
Collin and Paulina sat with grim faces, their eyes lowered to Bethany’s painting, refusing to even look at Jacob and Josephine.
Rupert’s face was also dark, waiting for Xavier to get rid of the two of them.
Lauren frowned.
Jasmine, Fiona, and Julian remained silent, but their faces were also grim.
Only Maria was confused, but she could tell Collin and Paulina did not like these sudden guests, so she quickly stood up and moved behind the couple, just in case.
Aveline then let out a small laugh and said, “It’s fine, Amy. Let him come over. I want to see what kind of birthday gift his mistress and illegitimate daughter so ‘carefully selected‘ for my grandfather.”
“But, Jacob, let me be clear. If Collin isn’t happy with it, I’ll throw it out.”
Josephine looked at Aveline, looking hurt. “Sister, you…”
Jacob was also indignant. “You ungrateful daughter, how can you talk like that?”
Aveline said coldly, “So, are you going to bring over the birthday gift or not?”
Xavier frowned slightly. “Aveline, just let them go…”
Aveline shot him a cold glance. “This has nothing to do with you anymore.”
“Fine. I’ll show you just how precious this birthday gift is.”
With that, Jacob walked over and placed a box on the table.

Avelme, her face cold, lifted the lid with one finger. Inside was a ceramic tea set.
