Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 520

Aveline texted back: [I was going to pour it down the toilet, but I was afraid it would clog the one on my end.]

Xavier read the message while eating the traditional health tonics and gave a helpless smile.

When Josephine got home, Courtney was waiting in the living room. Seeing her grim expression, Courtney’s heart sank, but she immediately asked, “How did it go?”

Josephine explained the situation, and Courtney’s face darkened. “It looks like Xavier might pull his investment.”

Josephine gritted her teeth. “I’m going to The Croft Tower to confront him to his face. How could he treat his savior like this?”

Courtney shook her head. “You should go to him and cry instead.”

“Cry?”

“Yes, cry about how wronged you are. Make him feel sorry

“If you

confront him, he’ll feel like he’s losing face. Men care a lot about their social standing.”

Just then, Jacob walked in the door. Seeing his wife and daughter in the living room, he said quickly,

“Josie, great, you’re home. I need you to talk to Mr. Beltran about something.”

Josie and Courtney exchanged a look, and Courtney asked, “What is it?”

Jacob smiled. “Good news.

There’s a government project. If we can land it, we’ll make at least two hundred million.‘

“Josie, go talk to Mr. Beltran for me. Ask him to put in a good word with the right people. This project is a perfect fit for my company, but it’s too small for the, so they won’t want it.”

Josie’s own movie funding had been cut, and now Jacob was asking her to beg Xavier to help him land a project. She snapped, “I’m not going.”

Jacob’s face darkened. “Not going?

If you don’t go, then Dad’s company will go bankrupt, and we’ll all be out on the street.”

Josephine said irritably, “If you can’t get that project, your company can’t survive?

Then you might as well go home and collect your pension. Just quit.”

Jacob got angry, pointing at Josephine, “You…”

Courtney quickly pushed Jacob’s finger down and said to Josephine, “I think you could actually try bringing it up with Xavier.”

Josephine was shocked. “Mom, Xav even…‘

Courtney gave her a look, then said to Jacob, “Go change your clothes and wash your hands first. Let me have a good talk with Josie.”

Jacob glanced at Josephine, then went upstairs with a stern face.

Josephine waited until Jacob was out of sight, then stomped her foot and said to Courtney, “Mom, Xav is even cutting off my movie funding, and you still want me to ask him to help Dad land a project.”

Courtney replied with a serious expression, “Test him. See if Xavier really doesn’t care about you anymore, if he’s unwilling to help you.”

Josephine frowned. “Haven’t we already tested him?”

“For the to get a project from the government with a profit of just one or two hundred million is a piece of cake. It’s just a matter of saying a word. Just tell him your dad’s company is in trouble and is counting on this project to turn things around. Ask him to help out and put in a good word, for the sake of you saving him.”

“If he still doesn’t agree, you can bring up Aveline. Say that your dad is also Aveline’s biological father, and Aveline wouldn’t want to see the company her mother helped her father build go under.”

When Josephine heard she had to bring up Aveline, she frowned even more deeply, but she knew her mother’s idea was a good one. It would be good to test Xavier’s feelings again.

Because she was just so unwilling to accept it.

“But, Mom, Xav blocked me. Even if I ask Gerald to set up a meeting, he won’t see me. If I can’t see him, how can I say anything?”

Courtney replied, “Isn’t your dad’s birthday coming up? As the son–in–law, he’ll definitely have to
