Chapter 506
Xavier said coldly, “It’s not just Simon. I suspect it too.”
“Xay, my cousin is an honest man. He wouldn’t do something like that.‘
“If it’s my sister who doesn’t want him on the project team, then just find some other excuse to get my cousin off it. Don’t accuse him of plagiarism. How is he supposed to survive in the industry after that?”
“In the creative field, plagiarism is the ultimate taboo.”
Xavier replied, “If he’s innocent, he doesn’t have to worry about the accusation sticking.”
With that, he hung up.
Then he sent a text message, “Gerald, don’t call me anymore.”
Of course, Josephine saw the message first. Her face immediately showed shock as she said to Gerald.
“Gerald, does this mean Xav wants to cut you off?”
Gerald read it and frowned slightly, knowing Xavier was blaming him for letting Josephine talk to him.
He comforted Josephine, “It’s okay. Xavier and I grew up together, we’re like brothers. He’s just angry, he won’t cut me off.”
Inwardly, Josephine was seething. She hated how heartless and ungrateful Xavier was, treating her, his savior, this way.
But she said, “That’s good, that’s good. Gerald, I’d hate to be the reason you and Xav become enemies.”
Gerald was at the Sutton family’s house at the time. Courtney, who was nearby, had naturally seen what happened with Josephine’s call to Xavier, and she got a distinct feeling that things were not good.
But she didn’t let it show, and called Gerald to the dining room for lunch.
After lunch, Gerald arranged with Josephine to pick her up in the evening for the business dinner

In the living room, only Courtney and her daughter Josephine were there. Courtney said seriously to Josephine:
“I didn’t expect Xavier to turn out like this. I don’t know if something happened, or if his true nature isn’t what it seems on the surface.”
Josephine asked, “Mom, what do you mean, true nature?”
“He’s not a good person, not a gentleman. He might be a deceitful, petty person. His kindness to you before wasn’t genuine. Maybe he was just playing with you, or maybe because you saved his life, he had to pretend to be nice to you to save face.”
“Now that some time has passed, he wants to dump you, thinking he’s already given you enough.”
“For Xavier, buying you some jewelry was his way of repaying you for saving his life. Supporting your career was just something he said, so now he’s cut off your funding.”
Josephine knew her mother was probably right, but she remembered how well Xavier had treated her before and couldn’t accept it, saying with a dark expression:
“Then what about the three hundred million he gave me before? Was that for nothing?”
Courtney paced around the living room, her brow furrowed. “It’s also possible he’ll let you finish this movie and then stop funding you altogether.”
“He put his new special assistant in charge of this because he doesn’t want to give you a billion. At most, he’ll give you another one or two hundred million to finish the movie, and then he’ll consider his debt to you paid.”
“We thought too highly of Xavier before. He’s not that great.”
“He was afraid we’d go around telling everyone you’re the one who saved his life, so he pretended to be nice to you for the past two years, just spending a little money to get rid of you.”
Casually toying with her daughter’s feelings. After all, a few hundred million is nothing to Xavier.
