Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 495

Chapter 495

Ryan didn’t dare to agree immediately. He only replied: [Mr. Henderson, my apologies. I’m in a meeting with Mr. Beltran right now. I’ll get back to you after it’s over. [

When the meeting ended, Xavier personally saw Leonard to the elevator and instructed Ryan to escort him out of The Croft Tower.

Ryan saw the person out, returned to the Executive Office, and immediately knocked on Xavier’s office door, saying:

“Mr. Beltran, Mr. Henderson invited me to dinner tomorrow night to talk about the movie.

Xavier looked up at him and scoffed, “Gerald is really going all out for Josephine.”

“What’s that supposed to mean? Is he trying to suck up to you, the new special assistant?”

Ryan felt awkward. “Mr. Beltran, the funds haven’t been transferred to the crew, so they’re getting anxious. They’ll probably ask me for the reason.”

“Haven’t we already told the crew the reason?

Well, you should go. See what he wants to say. Maybe Josephine will be there too.‘

“Yes. Mr. Beltran.”

So Ryan replied to Gerald.

Gerald told Josephine it was handled. Josephine figured the problem was with Ryan–that he just wanted something from her.

Josephine snorted, “If you dare to take it, I’ll dare to give it. Then I’ll have Xav send you off to rot in some corner.”

Maybe then she could even get Claude to come back.

But even so, Xavier’s ballling coldness toward her, and those two things he’d said, still weighed on Josephine’s mind, giving her a bad feeling.

Josephine turned and asked Dylan, “Cousin, how’s it going? There are no problems with your design proposal, right?”

Staring at his computer, Dylan replied with a frown. “I’ll have to redo it, and that’ll definitely take time. If Aveline submits hers before I do, everything will have been for nothing.”

“So now I can only add some of her key ideas to my own work and try to submit it tomorrow.”

Even as he said it, he hesitated, turning to look at Josephine. “Josie, do we really have to do this?

If we get caught…”

“It’s fine. We won’t get caught. There’s absolutely no evidence that you stole Aveline’s ideas.

If you submit it early, there won’t be any problems.”

“Cousin, if this works out, just think about it. You’ll be the lead architect for the Mount Ardwood Theme Park. That’s a chance to make a name for yourself internationally. The glory you’d get

would last a lifetime.”

Dylan knew it was true. The project might even win an international award.

“Alright, I’m all in. Let’s do it.

”

“I’m heading back to the city first thing tomorrow morning, so Aveline won’t get suspicious.”

Dylan asked, “How’s that movie of yours going?”

“It’s fine. I’ll treat Xav’s new special assistant to dinner, butter him up a little, and that should take care of it.”

In the evening, Xavier took Ryan to the parking garage. They got in the car and went to have dinner with Mr. Baldwin.

Sitting in the back seat, he took out his phone and sent a message to Aveline, [Is your ankle any better?]

[Are you eating in your room, or did you go to the restaurant in your wheelchair again?]

[I have a business dinner with Mr. Baldwin tonight. I’ll come back to Mount Ardwood to be with you tomorrow morning.]

Aveline had just entered the buffet with Jasmine and Julian. She sat down, read the first two messages, and didn’t plan on replying.

When she saw the third message, Aveline’s expression turned cold. She replied to Xavier, [Can you just stay away from me?]

[You’re always hanging around, and it’s putting me in a bad mood. I’ll make this project the
