Chapter 464
Josephine replied, “Yeah, I called him myself. He said it’s company procedure, that he can’t break the rules, and that he has to lead by example, right?”
“Just have finance put together a decent financial statement. Once it’s approved, the money will come through right away.”
“In the meantime, we’ll just shut down filming for a few days.”
On Friday afternoon, Xavier texted Rebecca, “Is Aveline coming back to the city today?”
Rebecca replied, “David and Brandon are coming back, but Aveline isn’t.”
Xavier asked, “Why are they coming back but she isn’t?”
Rebecca: “Brandon is in charge of the Crestmark project, so he usually comes back on weekends. David has a family matter to attend to, so he’s going back this weekend to handle it.”
Xavier: “I’m heading over today. If you don’t have anything urgent, you can head back to the city for the weekend.”
Rebecca replied, “Yes, Mr. Beltran.”
Just then, Ryan knocked and entered Xavier’s office, telling him, “Mr. Beltran, the movie has stopped filming for two days.”
Xavier’s expression remained unchanged. He signed the document, and as he was capping his pen, he looked up and asked,
“Have the financial statements been sent over?”
Ryan replied, “No, the production’s finance department said next week.”
Xavier scoffed, “They’re even dragging their feet on such a simple report. It seems I have no idea how my investment is being spent.”
Ryan thought to himself, Mr. Beltran, if you were still trying to promote Steven, you definitely wouldn’t care how the money was spent. Now that you don’t want to anymore, everything seems
wrong.
Xavier asked, “Have you contacted the producer?”

Ryan replied, “I met with him once before, but I didn’t explicitly say you wanted to replace the director. I just asked about the filming situation and mentioned the script was no good. The producer probably got a hint of what’s going on.
“I’ve arranged to meet with him again tomorrow. Now that filming has stopped, I’ll voice my dissatisfaction with the director and the script and see how the producer reacts.”
Xavier nodded. “Alright, go ahead and do that.”
“I’m going to Mount Ardwood after work.”
However, before it was time to get off work, Xavier left The Croft Tower and headed for Mount Ardwood.
In the car, Gerald texted him, “Let’s have dinner tonight.”
Xavier replied, “I’m busy.”
Gerald: “How can you be busy on a Friday night?”
“Don’t worry, I didn’t ask Josie to come. It’s just the two of us.
Xavier: “I’m on my way to Mount Ardwood.”
Gerald: “What are you going to Mount Ardwood for?”
Xavier: “What do you
think?”
Gerald didn’t text back. Instead, he said to Josephine, who was beside him, “Xavier went to Mount Ardwood.”
Josephine frowned. “Is he going there for work, or to see Aveline?”
Gerald didn’t want to upset Josephine, so he said, “The theme park project has started. He’s usually busy in the city, so it’s reasonable for him to go check on it over the weekend.”
Just then, Josephine’s phone rang. It was her mother.
“It’s
my mom. I need to take this call.”
Gerald’s office had a balcony, and she walked out onto it to answer the phone.
Courtney told her, “I just heard some news. Xavier is going to buy a villa on Mount Ardwood.”
Josephine was shocked. “Huh? Who’s he buying it for?”
