Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 545

Chapter 545

Then he caught up with Aveline, and they left the villa together.

At the Sutton family’s place, Jacob and Courtney had invited many people, some of whom were prominent figures in the city, because Jacob had hinted that Xavier would be coming when he sent out the invitations.

This wasn’t surprising to these people, because everyone in Entora knew Xavier was pouring money into making Josephine a director.

And then there were the photos that surfaced online a while ago of Xavier carrying a woman into the lobby of the Beltran Hotel at Mount Ardwood, which everyone online was speculating was Josephine.

Although Josephine was Jacob’s illegitimate daughter, born to his mistress, the prominent figures felt it was unlikely Xavier would marry her, as Rupert would likely not approve. But women like her, who are mistresses, often have influence.

So these people felt that building a good relationship with Josephine wouldn’t be a loss.

Gerald hadn’t expected the Sutton family’s birthday party to be so grand, with so many influential people invited. He asked Josephine, “Even if Xavier comes, he’ll be with Aveline. By inviting all these people, aren’t you afraid…”

Josephine’s expression turned a bit cold as she replied, “I’m not afraid. It’s for the best if the whole city knows Aveline is Xavier’s wife.”

Anyway, Xavier had already dropped all pretenses with her, so her mother said the only one who’d be embarrassed was Aveline.

Gerald said, “Xavier hung up on me. I’m guessing if Aveline doesn’t come, he won’t either.” Josephine replied to him, “It’s fine. Leona promised me she would come.”

Sure enough, as it neared nine o’clock, the guests hadn’t seen any sign of Xavier and were starting to suspect he wasn’t coming. Just then, Leona walked into the banquet hall wearing a little black dress.

She walked up to Jacob and said, “Mr. Sutton, I’m sorry. Something came up at home, so I’m late.‘ Jacob hadn’t expected Josephine to actually get Leona to come. He was overjoyed and said with a

As he spoke, he took the gift Leona handed over. “Oh, you kid. Just coming over is enough. Why’d you bring me a gift?”

Leona’s smile almost froze on her face.

She hadn’t expected Jacob to call her a “kid,” although in terms of generation, she was indeed his junior.

Seeing how close Jacob and Ms. Beltran were, the guests grew even more certain that Xavier and Josephine’s relationship was intimate.

Josephine walked to Leona’s side, taking her arm. “Leona, where’s Xav? Why isn’t he here yet?”

Leona saw the meaningful look from Josephine, got the hint, and said, “Oh, something just came up for him, so he probably can’t make it. He asked me to apologize to Mr. Sutton for him. He’ll have someone send the gift over later.”

Jacob didn’t know this was an act put on by Josephine and Leona. He really thought Xavier was going to come to his birthday celebration for Josephine’s sake, but just couldn’t make it because something suddenly came up.

He said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. We can have dinner together another day.”

Josephine led Leona to the food table to get something to eat and said, “Leona, thank you.”
