Aveline replied, “He can’t get into this community.”
Xavier smiled. “So that’s how it is.”
So she had shown him some merey by not putting him on the community’s blacklist.
She was probably afraid Christopher and Old Man Li would think she was going too far. After all, the two elders were on good terms with his grandfather, and she didn’t want to completely burn that bridge.
“Aveline, I told you I was investigating what happened back then. It’s true.”
A mocking smile touched Aveline’s lips, but she said nothing.
Xavier found it jarring to see, but he knew he had brought this on himself.
“When Dylan came to curse you out before he left, I was furious. So when Gerald asked me to go to the bar, I went. The purpose was to warn Josephine not to bother you again, not to meet with her.”
“Aveline, if you agree, I can make Jacob’s company go bankrupt and ruin the Sutton family. That’s something Courtney and Josephine wouldn’t be able to handle.”
Hearing this, Aveline’s gaze hardened as she looked at Xavier. “I don’t need you to bankrupt the Sutton family. As long as you don’t help them, they’ll go bankrupt sooner or later.”
“Heh, I’m just afraid you won’t be able to bear seeing Josephine suffer.”
“Xavier, I get it. It’s just because Josephine is illegitimate, you can’t possibly marry her, the Patriarch won’t approve, your mom won’t approve, and you’d be humiliated in your social circle, so that’s why you won’t let me go.”
“Don’t waste your effort. I’m definitely getting a divorce.”
“Divorce me, and then go find some other woman. I’m sure plenty of daughters from rich and powerful families would want to marry you.”
Xavier’s face grew colder as he listened, and just as he was about to speak, Aveline’s phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was her grandmother calling.

Chapter 544
A cold smile touched Aveline’s lips, she knew Jacob must have taken Gloria’s phone to call, so she ended it.
Seeing this, Xavier asked, “Your dad calling?”
Aveline said coldly. “Xavier, I’ve told you before, he is not my dad.”
“Alright, I won’t say it again.”
“I kicked Dylan out of the project team. I don’t know what he might do, so don’t be alone for a while. Tell me if anything happens, don’t try to handle it all by yourself.”
Aveline said coolly, “Is this the important thing you had to tell me?”
“Whatever he does, he’ll do it to you. You’re the one who put him on the project team.”
Xavier laughed, “Are you trying to call me out?”
“Heh, don’t you think you deserve to be called out?”
Xavier was now determined to win Aveline over. He smiled and replied, “Yeah, you got me.” Aveline hadn’t expected him to reply like that. She glanced at him, then coldly looked away.
Xavier shifted closer to her. Aveline caught the movement in her peripheral vision and immediately turned to glare at him. “Get away from me.”
Xavier looked at her. “Aveline, withdraw the lawsuit. Let’s start over, the two of us, and live a good life.”
“That’s hardly an important matter.”
With that, Aveline stood up, planning to go find Collin and Paulina.
Being alone with Xavier made her uncomfortable. She always felt he might do something to offend her out of nowhere, like kissing her without warning as he had before.
Just then, Xavier’s phone, which was on the coffee table, rang.
Aveline glanced over and saw it was a call from Gerald.
She said mockingly, “He’s probably calling you to Josephine’s dad’s birthday party.”
Xavier picked up the phone with a cold expression and hung up.
Seeing Aveline was about to leave, he got up and followed her. “Alright, let’s go for a walk.‘

Aveline said, “You should take the two kids and leave now.”
28 eurot
“What’s the rush? I don’t have work tomorrow, and the kids don’t have school. Let them play here a little longer.”
“They could even spend the night here.”
Aveline stopped. “Xavier, don’t push it.”
Xavier looked at her, his face serious. “If I don’t push it, can I win you back?”
Aveline turned her cold face away and continued walking out.
