This is what Josephine gets for showing off to her.
“But who knows if you’re just saying one thing to my face and doing another behind my back.”
“I need to talk to Fiona about how to stop you from transferring assets before the divorce.”
Xavier sighed, “Aveline, don’t be like this. You know my position. I can only give you my salary to manage. The company shares are impossible to give you.”
“But you should know, I can keep you informed.”
“The asset agreement I had you sign was the most I could give you. Any more, and it would be hard to explain to the other company shareholders.”
“My uncle and Jason would never just stand by and watch me give you everything.”
Aveline knew what Xavier said was true. She couldn’t get half of his fortune, but Josephine was just so disgusting, she had to split as much of Xavier’s personal assets as she possibly could.
“It’s too late for you to tell me this now. If you had divorced me earlier, you wouldn’t have to worry about me splitting your assets.”
“Xavier, I’ve made up my mind. I want half of your fortune.”
Xavier knew Aveline was a stubborn person. Now that she’d said it, she would definitely follow through.
But he wasn’t going to divorce her at all, so how could she split his assets with him?
Xavier chuckled, “Fine, whatever makes you happy.”
Aveline didn’t see Xavier’s smile, but from the tone of his voice, she knew he wasn’t taking her seriously, with an attitude that implied she’d never get what she wanted.
She pressed her lips together, her eyes cold, and fell silent.
Since Xavier had used his connections to suppress the case, she was bound to face a long legal battle with him. In that case, he couldn’t blame her for fighting him for the assets.
Seeing her run faster and faster, Xavier said worriedly, “Aveline, you started running without

warming up. Don’t go so fast, you’ll hurt yourself. Slow down.”
Aveline ignored him.
Xavier sighed in resignation and kept up with her, “You and your stubbornness…”

Up ahead, a teenage boy was skateboarding. Since he wasn’t going fast, Aveline was about to run past him.
In that instant, the boy lost his balance and swerved toward her. Startled, Aveline veered away to dodge him, twisting her left ankle in the process.
Xavier, right behind her, saw it all happen and was startled too. “Aveline, watch out!”
As he spoke, he rushed forward, quickly grabbing Aveline’s shoulders with both hands to help her steady herself.
The boy was scared too, thinking he had hit Aveline, a look of fear and confusion on his face.
Xavier yelled at him angrily, “Is this a place for skateboarding?”
The boy, terrified, said, “I–I’m sorry, ma’am. Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Xavier frowned. “Shut up.”
Because the last thing he wanted was for Aveline to be hurt.
The area was wide, and there weren’t any restrictions on skateboarding. It was a complete accident, so Aveline, annoyed at Xavier for being harsh with the kid, endured the pain in her ankle and snapped at him:
“I’m the one with the sprained ankle and I’m not yelling. What are you yelling for?”
Xavier was taken aback. “You sprained your ankle?”
As he spoke, he supported Aveline by her waist while crouching down to look at her foot
“Where did you twist it?”
The boy was scared too. “Ma’am, is it serious? Do you need to go to the hospital? I can have my brother drive you.”
Xavier snapped, “I told you to shut up, don’t you understand?”
Aveline said resignedly, waving at the boy, “You can go. I’m fine, it’s not serious.
