Xavier kicked the coffee table. “Gerald, what did you say?”
The coffee table screeched as it slid toward Gerald, who fell back onto the sofa in fright.
“Xavier, you…”
Leona also chided, “Xavier, how could you resort to violence?”
Xavier’s gaze shifted to Leona. “He insulted my wife. He’s lucky I didn’t kick him.”
“How did he insult your wife?
Do you really think Josie wrote this note?
There’s no name on it.”
Xavier’s gaze turned to Josephine. “So you didn’t write it?”
Josephine’s eyes turned red, filled with grievance. “Xav, I really didn’t write it.”
“Xav, why do I feel like you’ve been… been especially mean to me lately?”
“Tonight, too. My dad and I were just…”
Xavier cut her off, “Are you saying this isn’t your handwriting?”
Josephine met Xavier’s icy gaze and felt he wasn’t asking a question, but interrogating her like a criminal.
She couldn’t admit it. If she did, it would all be over.
So Josephine shook her head repeatedly. “It looks like my handwriting, but I didn’t write it. I can’t admit to it.”
“Maybe… maybe someone copied my handwriting.”
Leona quickly nodded in agreement. “That’s right, that must be it.”
“Xavier, Josie is such a kind person, how could she write a note like this? Just use your head.”
Gerald also stood up from the sofa. “Xavier, do you remember that Josie saved you?”

“Aveline is a liar. It’s entirely possible she forged this note to trick you ”
Xavier shot a cold glare at Gerald and said icily, “Say that again?”
Gerald met those harsh, dark eyes and didn’t dare to utter another sound.
Xavier called out, “Helena…”
“Yes, sir, I’m here.”
Helena was startled when Xavier called her and answered instinctively.
“Bring me a pen and paper.”
Then Xavier looked at Josephine. “Copy the note. I’m having it analyzed.”
Josephine stared at Xavier in shock, too frightened to speak.
Leona grew angry. “Xavier, are you saying you don’t believe Josephine?”
Xavier said coldly, “If she claims she’s innocent, then an analysis will prove it.”
“Xav, I… I won’t write it.”

Tears streamed down Josephine’s face as she spoke. “Xav, haven’t I been humiliated enough tonight? Are you going to bully me now too?”
“My dad and I were paying our respects to my sister’s grandfather, Collin, with a gift, but my sister gave me a hard time. You didn’t help me, you cruelly threw me out, and you even hit my dad.”
“I couldn’t believe you could be so cold and heartless, so I told Leona and Gerald. They insisted on bringing me here, hoping you’d give me an explanation.”
“I’m not the type to hold a favor over someone’s head, but I’m just so hurt. I have to ask, is this how you treat me after I saved you?”
As Josephine spoke, Xavier watched her, his gaze like a knife, as if it could pierce her chest and see right into her heart.
Josephine was terrified, not daring to look him in the eye as she spoke.
Gerald yelled, “Xavier, you’ve gone too far! If you don’t like Josie anymore, no one can force you, but how could you team up with Aveline to bully Josie?”
Leona pulled the sobbing Josie into her arms, but her face was stern as she looked at Xavier,
