Chapter 486
Dylan was in the ground floor lobby. He saw Josephine fail to get into Xavier’s car and come back, so he quickly walked over.
“What’s wrong? Mr. Beltran wouldn’t let you ride back to the city with him?”
Josephine shook her head, her face dark.
Dylan really couldn’t imagine Mr. Beltran being so cold. He didn’t know the inside story, so he said:
“Wasn’t he pretty good to you before? Why does he seem to dislike you so much lately?”
Josephine clenched her fists and didn’t speak.
What could she say? That she was the daughter of the other woman, and that’s why Xavier looked down on her?
Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Courtney. She quickly answered, “Mom.”
“Josie, since Saturday, someone has been posting a photo online of Xavier carrying Aveline into the lobby of The Chu’s Hotel at Six Peaks Mountain. What’s going on?”
Josephine was shocked. “Someone took a picture?”
“That morning, Aveline sprained her ankle while jogging, and Xav carried her back.”
“Someone probably took a picture in the ground floor lobby and posted it online.”
Courtney said, “Everyone online is guessing who the woman being carried by the’s CEO is.
“Because there were rumors that Xavier was spending a lot of money to make you a director, some people guessed it might be you, but others recognized it wasn’t.”
“Now they’re debating whether Xavier is two–timing, and they’ve started calling him a playboy.”
“Although it hasn’t become a huge discussion yet, the mainstream media will probably figure out it’s Aveline once they notice.”
Josephine frowned. “Aveline doesn’t have any photos online, does she?”

Josephine was still angry that Xavier wouldn’t let her in his car, and said irritably, “Well, there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s not like we can stop them.”
Courtney sighed, “If word gets out that Xavier and Aveline already have their marriage certificate, the rumors about you won’t be pleasant.”
Josephine’s face darkened instantly at her mother’s reminder.
What kind of rumors could there be? Obviously, that she was the other woman.
Courtney said, “Maybe this is Aveline’s strategy, deliberately pulling a stunt like this to publicize her relationship with Xavier.”
“Xavier wants to divorce her, so she’s getting desperate.”
“Mom, what should we do then?”
“Don’t worry. The photo isn’t very clear, so people might not recognize Aveline. Mom will come up with a plan for you.
Are you still staying at Mount Ardwood?“!
Josephine, filled with hatred, bit her lip. “Yeah. The movie can’t be filmed for now anyway. I’ll stay at Mount Ardwood. I’ll only feel better when seeing me makes Aveline uncomfortable.”
Meanwhile, Xavier was on his way back to the city when Ryan called. “Mr. Beltran, photos of you carrying a woman into the hotel are circulating online. The media is calling to ask who she is.”
“They’re also mentioning the rumors about your engagement and asking if she is your fiancée.”
Xavier frowned slightly, his immediate thought being that Aveline would be angry again if she knew the photos were online and the media was asking about them.
“Got it. Don’t say anything for now.”
Then he hung up and called Aveline.
Of course, Aveline didn’t answer.
Xavier sent her a text, [You never answer your phone. How am I supposed to tell you anything important?)
【The media is asking me if you’re my fiancée. What do you think I should tell them?】

Aveline figured he must be bored in the car on his way back to the city, so she replied: 【What the hell is wrong with you?】
