Or just go after her and her mother, and make her dad kick them out of the Sutton family?
But her mother was pregnant with her father’s son. Her father would never kick them out.
Gerald frowned. “Has that guy gone crazy?
Or has Aveline bewitched him lately?”
“I heard a voodoo curse can make people very obedient?”
Even as he said it, Gerald felt he was just letting his imagination run wild.
But he couldn’t find a reasonable explanation for Xavier’s strange behavior.
Josephine shot up. “No, I have to ask Xav what he means.
With that, she ran outside.

Gerald quickly got up and grabbed her. “He doesn’t seem rational right now. Don’t go and provoke him.”
“Gerald, let go.”
As she spoke, Josephine forcefully shook off Gerald’s hand.
Gerald, afraid of hurting her, had to let go. “Then talk to him nicely. I feel like something’s off with him, like… like…”
Like he hates you. Gerald didn’t dare say that out loud, afraid of hurting Josephine’s feelings.
The way Xavier had looked at Josephine just now really seemed filled with hatred and disgust, as if she had done something terrible to him, something unforgivable.
That’s why Gerald had said that absurd thing about a voodoo curse; otherwise, he couldn’t explain why Xavier was acting this way.
Josephine had no patience to listen to Gerald. The moment he let go, she headed for the door.
Xavier was nowhere to be seen in the hallway, so Josephine quickly ran downstairs. Fiona was sitting at the bar, leisurely sipping her drink. When men came over to hit on her, she

She glanced at the top of the stairs from time to time, and suddenly, she saw Xavier coming
down.
In the dim light, she thought Xavier looked quite cold, but then again, he often looked like he had just returned from a frozen wasteland.
Fiona scoffed internally. Heh, what’s wrong? Was the meeting with his darling unpleasant? Or was it too short, leaving him in a bad mood?
Then, she saw Josephine rushing downstairs as well.
Xavier seemed unaware that Josephine would follow him, walking straight out of the bar with Josephine chasing after him.
Fiona was confused. Are these two putting on a show? she wondered.
She put down her glass and followed to watch the drama unfold.
Xavier left the bar and walked toward the black Bentley when he suddenly heard Josephine’s voice from behind, “Xav, wait.”
Xavier’s expression grew even colder. He ignored her and continued toward the car, when suddenly someone hugged him from behind.
“Xav, don’t go yet. I have something to say to you.”
Fiona, watching this from the bar entrance, widened her eyes, screaming “Damn it, damn it” in her head, then cursed with contempt, “So shameless.”
Amy, standing by the door of the black Bentley, saw this. Her face tightened, and she immediately strode over.
But Xavier reacted faster. He grabbed Josephine’s wrist with one hand and squeezed. Josephine immediately cried out in pain, the arms holding Xavier instantly losing their strength and falling
away.
Xavier, holding one of her wrists, turned and pushed her, and Josephine immediately fell to the ground.
Fiona was stunned again, crying out, “Damn it.”
What was going on? Did these two have a fight and a falling out?
Aveline had told Fiona that Xavier would never lay a hand on a woman.
