Lauren followed him, saying irritably, “I did try to contact you first, but you never replied.”
“I was in a meeting.”
Before leaving, Xavier went to see Rupert. Rupert was in his study reading and looked up at him.
“Go buy a house at Mount Ardwood, and then spend more time there whenever you’re free. Maybe your mom will be holding a grandchild before you know it.”
Xavier: “…”

If he told the Patriarch that Aveline had already filed for divorce, the old man probably wouldn’t be saying things like that.
“Yeah, I got it.”
Then Xavier left the Beltran’s mansion.
On the way back to The Croft Tower, he texted Aveline, “I talked to Mom. She probably won’t bother you anymore.”
Of course, Aveline didn’t reply.
Xavier stared out the car window, lost in thought for a moment, then said to Amy, “See if Jason is dating anyone right now.”
Amy was surprised. “Mr. Beltran, you mean…”
“He’s 25, right? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of him dating, and I’ve never seen him bring anyone home.”
Amy didn’t know why Xavier was looking into this, but she replied, “Yes, Mr. Beltran.”
Three days later, Josephine learned from the film crew’s finance department that the hundred million she had applied for hadn’t been transferred by the yet. They said it was going through an approval process.
Josephine was confused and asked, “Did they always transfer it quickly before?
Did they ever mention an approval process?”

The finance person replied, “Director Sutton, they always transferred the funds immediately before. They never mentioned an approval.”
“Leo said the one billion film investment was a dedicated fund that the group had already approved. As long as we applied for it, the money would be transferred by the next day at the
latest.”
“It’s been three days now, and the money still hasn’t arrived.”
Josephine said, “Have you told the producer?”
“He said he doesn’t know either and told me to talk to you.”
Josephine bit her lip, a bad feeling creeping in. But Xavier had blocked her on WhatsApp and her phone, so she couldn’t even ask him what was going on.
Gerald had said that Xavier would fully support her in finishing the film.
Josephine told the finance person, “I understand. I’ll make a call to ask about it.

After the finance person left, Josephine casually noticed the producer watching her from a distance with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Josephine found it strange, but then she thought maybe the producer was just looking at her like that because he found it odd that the money hadn’t arrived.
Marjorie came over to call her to the set. She said she needed another half hour of rest. Marjorie leaned in and said, “Director Sutton, the lead actress is complaining that the progress is too slow. She’s getting a bit upset.”
Josephine snapped, “We’ve only been shooting for a few days and she’s already complaining about the slow pace. If I ever ask her to shoot overnight, she’ll just complain about being tired.”
Marjorie grumbled to herself, the actress wants you to stick to a normal schedule precisely because she doesn’t want to work overtime, and pull all–nighters.
But you took two or three days off just a few days after filming started, and now you’ve already rested for an hour and want another half hour. We’re not going to finish today’s scenes again.
But Marjorie didn’t dare say this to Josephine, so she just turned to soothe the actress.
Josephine took her phone out of her purse and called Gerald.
After hearing the situation, Gerald was surprised. “Did your finance department contact Leo?”
