Chapter 448
What kind of director are you going to be?”
Josephine yelled, “Even if I hadn’t written that note, Xavier would never like me! Ile already despises me.
“Because I’m an illegitimate daughter, because my mom is the other woman, he never even considered being with me.”
Courtney stared at Josephine in astonishment, her throat tight. She couldn’t say a word.
This was exactly what she had been worried about. She hadn’t said it plainly to Josephine because she was afraid of hurting her.
But Josephine had figured it out on her own.
That’s right. With her daughter’s background, marrying Xavier and entering the was indeed very difficult.
That’s why on the day of Xavier’s accident, Courtney seized the opportunity to frame Josephine as his savior, thinking the would see her in a different light.
So what if Aveline had a good background? She was a liar. So what if Josephine had a bad background? She was kind–hearted and had risked her life to save the head of the.
But now, everything was teetering on the edge of collapse.
Courtney’s eyes narrowed. She asked, “Xavier only questioned you about the note? Did he question you about saving him?”
Josephine shook her head. “No.”
Then she jumped in fright. “Mom, could Xav also suspect that I wasn’t the one who saved him?”
Courtney said thoughtfully, “He didn’t question you about it, so he probably doesn’t suspect anything.”
“He probably wants to divorce Aveline, but has no intention of marrying you afterward. And after your performance last night, he’s even less likely to consider it.”
Josephine bit her lip. “Mom, what do we do then?”

Courtney shot her a glare. “You were there that day. I told you to go in and save him. If you had been a little braver, if you had gone in to save Xavier first, or even saved him with Aveline, things would definitely be different now.”
“Because you really did save his life, there’s no faking that. Even if he doesn’t marry you, he’ll use his resources to take care of you for life.”
“What did I tell you on the phone back then? You saved the CEO of the, not some ordinary person, understand?”
“If it were me, I would have saved him without a second thought.”
Josephine frowned, “Mom, that’s easy for you to say. You weren’t there, so of course you’d say that.”
“Those three men were huge and looked really tough and vicious. They could have crushed me like an ant.”
“Then why could Aveline go in and save Xavier?”
“That’s just because she got lucky. Xavier had already beaten those three guys so they couldn’t move, so she could take the chance to get him out.”
“So when Aveline was dragging Xavier out of the warehouse, why didn’t you go help? You were in your car, right?
You had your phone, too.
If you had just called the police and driven Xavier to the hospital, you would’ve gotten half the credit.”
Josephine pressed her lips together and said, “I thought Xavier was dead. He was covered in blood, I was scared to death. I didn’t want a dead body in my car.”
Courtney shot her a disappointed glare, not wanting to say anything else.
“Mom…”
“Just go back to your room and sleep for now. Let me think.”
Aveline and her maternal grandparents returned home and had a good night’s sleep.
The next day at breakfast, Paulina said to Aveline, “Collin hung Alfred’s painting in the second- floor living room. As for your mother’s paintings, do you think you should take them back to hang
at Parkview Estates?”
