Josephine didn’t say a word. She wrote a sentence on the paper, folded it, and then said to the staff member:
“When you see your manager, please give this to him. Tell him it’s for Miss Aveline.”
“I’m her sister.”
As she spoke, Josephine took out her ID to show the staff member, proving her last name was indeed Sutton.
The staff member agreed and took the note.
Josephine revealed a triumphant, scheming smile and told Jacob it was time to go.
“Josie, what message did you leave for Aveline?”
“A message that will make her very uncomfortable.”
Jacob looked at his younger daughter’s sinister smile with confusion, thinking that if it could make that ungrateful daughter Aveline uncomfortable, then that was a good thing.
Once in the car, Jacob started cursing, “This was all your mother’s terrible idea! Damn it, Xavier almost twisted my hand off. That kid kicked me, and it’s a good thing I didn’t eat anything tonight. My stomach was empty, or I would’ve puked all over the place.”
Josephine’s face was cold, and she was still clenching her jaw and fists.
She couldn’t make sense of things right now, she needed her mother to help her analyze the
situation.
Annoyed, she said, “Stop talking. Just drive home.
When they got home, if it weren’t for Courtney’s large belly, Jacob would have slapped her. He restrained the impulse and said:
“It was you who told the two of us to go back and give that birthday gift. We ended up getting humiliated, and that kid Xavier even hit me.”
“That kid has no manners, hitting his own father–in–law.”

Pesides why would Xavier have any reason to hit you?”
Jacob said, annoyed. “Exactly I’m disciplining my own daughter, what business is it of his
Courtnes paced back and forth in the living room with her hand on her large belly, feeling anxious because she was almost certain Xavier looked down on Josephine’s background
Blocking her on WhatsApp and her phone number was a sign he’d decided to dump her
Courtney didn’t believe a man like Xavier, with all his status, money, and power, would be so deeply in love with Aveline
The problem was Josephine’s background
Courtney glanced at Josephine, her heart aching.
Josephine saw her mom look over, her eyes filled with what looked like pity, and a chill went down her spine.
“Mom, why are you looking at me like that?”
“What’s really going on?
Could it be because I’m…”
Josephine couldn’t say the words: was it because she was illegitimate? Was that why Xavier looked down on her?
Thinking of the insults from Aveline’s grandmother, she gritted her teeth. “Mom, I hate Aveline. I hate her maternal grandparents. I’m going to make their lives miserable.”
“Mom, you have to help me.”
Jacob sat there, watching the mother and daughter with a dark expression
He realized Xavier wasn’t treating Josephine the way he used to. In the private dining room just now, he didn’t show her any respect at all. Did this mean he had lost his powerful backer?
