Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 447

Chapter 447

If he hadn’t been in the hospital at that time, if he had been the one driving, Mr. Beltran would never have been taken by those people to that abandoned warehouse.

He had suggested that Mr. Beltran call Barry back to drive for him temporarily. After all, Barry was ex–military, and though he was older, he was still tough, and his Traditional Martial Arts skills hadn’t gotten rusty.

But Barry was driving for Leona’s son, and Mr. Beltran felt that as an uncle, he couldn’t take the driver from his nephew, so he had a young driver from the company’s HR department drive for him for a few days.

Hearing Mr. Beltran say this, Amy’s expression grew grim. “Mr. Beltran, based on what you’re saying, could Bryan have been…”

Xavier took a sip of his drink and said coldly, “If I had known back then that Bryan was a gambler, I never would have let him drive for me.”

A gambler can be bought.

“Who do you think it was, Leona or Jonathan?”

The liquor in Amy’s glass sloshed.

If he had to pick one, Jonathan was the most likely suspect. After all, Xavier was Leona’s full- blooded brother; surely she wouldn’t be monstrous enough to do that.

As for Jonathan…

Amy said, “But Mr. Beltran, after the former chairman passed away, your uncle didn’t really fight you for power, did he?”

Xavier said calmly, “He doesn’t hold many shares, and the Patriarch favors me. It would be useless for him to fight. It would only make the Patriarch unhappy.”

“I suspect the Patriarch already spoke with him privately.”

“But, Amy, I’m just guessing. This whole thing is just too bizarre.”

“My uncle doted on me when I was growing up. Why would he want me dead?”

Amy thought to himself, that may be true, but his uncle only doted on him when there was no conflict of interest between them. If there is a conflict, he has his own son to think about. Of course he’d want to fight for power and profit for his own son.

Xavier said as he drank, “With his health, in and out of the hospital all the time, how could he possibly manage the?”

“Courtney couldn’t get a hospital to break the rules, could she?”

“Could it be that Jacob paid them?”

“Heh, Jacob would have had to pay a whole lot of money for the director to agree to take such a risk.”

Amy didn’t say anything, because she knew Mr. Beltran was just thinking out loud.

And at the same time, he was telling her what to investigate.

After half a bottle of whiskey, Amy stopped pouring for Xavier and took his glass away.

“Mr. Beltran, I understand. I’ll tell them to get to the bottom of this.”

Xavier got up, walked over to the bed, and fell onto it, muttering,

“Yeah, get to the bottom of it. If you don’t, my wife is going to hate me and never forgive me.”

Josephine returned home, rushing frantically to her mother’s bedroom.

Courtney wasn’t asleep yet. She couldn’t sleep; what happened tonight had truly shocked her.

She was waiting for Josephine to come back from Parkview Estates.

Seeing Josephine walk in with a troubled expression, Courtney’s heart sank. “What’s wrong? Did Aveline give you a hard time again?”

Josephine shook her head. “Aveline wasn’t at Parkview Estates. Only Xav came back.”

Then she quickly explained what had happened.

When Courtney heard she had written such a note, she was so angry she raised her hand and slapped her, cursing:

“You idiot.”

Josephine was stunned. She covered her face, glaring at Courtney with resentment in her eyes.
