Chapter 439
From the sound of the crash, the tea set inside was surely shattered
Jacob was both shocked and furious, roaring, “Aveline, what do you think you’re doing?”
Roaring, he charged toward Aveline, raising his hand to slap her.
When Julian and Maria saw Jacob charge forward, they quickly ran over as well.
But Xavier reacted quickly. With a cold expression, he grabbed Jacob’s hand and twisted it, making Jacob scream in pain.
Josephine quickly ran over, pleading, “Xav, don’t do this. My dad wouldn’t hit my sister. He’s just too angry. He’s just bluffing to scare her.”
Xavier shot Josephine a cold look, pushed Jacob away while letting go of his hand, and said coldly.
“Only a coward hits a woman.”
Jacob clutched the hand Xavier had twisted in pain, not daring to get angry at Xavier, and only glared at Aveline.
A mocking smile touched Aveline’s lips as she said, “Josephine, you’re quite the liar.
“Sister, what do you mean?
How could Dad possibly hit you?”
As she spoke, Josephine looked wronged, her eyes turning red.
Aveline said coldly, “The day Jacob brought you and your mother into the Sutton family, he slapped me because I didn’t approve. He hit me right in front of you, and you were smiling so smugly at the time. What, have you conveniently forgotten?”
Josephine glanced at Xavier “Sister, why would you lie and say Dad hit you?”
As she was saying this, Xavier had already walked up to Jacob with a cold expression and kicked
him.
Josephine jumped in shock and reached out to grab Xavier. “Xav…”

Xavier shook off Josephine’s hand and said coldly, “The next time you dare to hit Aveline, it won’t just be a kick. I’ll…”
Afraid that Xavier would say something too harsh in his anger, Rupert quickly interjected in a deep voice,
“That’s enough. Amy, get them out of here.”
Amy, who had been standing by, afraid something would happen, immediately went to pull Jacob up the moment Rupert spoke.
Seeing this, Josephine immediately burst into tears. “My dad and I only came to deliver a birthday gift for my sister’s grandfather. We didn’t mean to cause any trouble.”
“Sister, if you don’t like the tea set, just give it back to us. How could you throw it away?”
“Dad’s obviously going to be angry that you threw it away.”
“You didn’t even ask Grandpa. Maybe he would’ve liked it.”
Josephine thought about how Xavier had just flung her hand away. She didn’t dare grab his hand again, so she reached for Aveline’s.
“Sister…”
Aveline slapped her hand away as if she were a virus. “For your birthday, Xavier casually gives you millions in jewelry and invests a billion for your movie, yet you give my grandpa a shoddily made tea set worth less than a thousand? Who do you think you’re insulting?”
“Get lost.”
Xavier hadn’t expected Aveline to bring him up. His face froze, and he stared at her with his deep, dark eyes.
Aveline gave him a cold glance, looked away, and walked toward her maternal grandparents.
Amy pulled Jacob aside and said to Josephine, “Ms. Sutton, don’t make me get rough.”
Josephine’s crying act was very convincing. With tears already on her face, she looked toward Xavier.
“Xav…”
Xavier said coldly, “Get out.”
