Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 548

He thought that if Marcus got this project, Jacob could forget about it.

So Xavier said, “Alright, I’ll make a call tomorrow, or we can take them out for a meal.”

“But if you get that project, you have to do a good job. Aveline’s maternal grandparents happen to live nearby. Once it’s built, the old folks will often go for walks there.”

Marcus was thrilled that Xavier agreed to help so easily and nodded. “Of course, I’ll do a great job. I can’t embarrass the.”

Xavier stood up. “If that’s all, I’m leaving.”

Marcus quickly stood up too to see him out.

Xavier turned around in the foyer. “Is my sister not home?”

Marcus’s heart skipped a beat. Xavier and Aveline hadn’t gone to Jacob’s birthday party, but Leona had. He didn’t know if Xavier would be angry.

If Xavier got angry and decided not to help him get the project, that would be terrible.

So Marcus replied, “Yeah, she’s not home. I don’t know where she went either.”

“Maybe she went out to have some fun with her friends. It’s the weekend tomorrow, after all. I’ll look after Mason.

”

Xavier actually suspected Leona had gone to Jacob’s birthday party, which was why he specifically asked Marcus. Hearing Marcus say that, he figured she probably didn’t go.

Good for Leona for being sensible. She knew the Patriarch had forbidden it, so she didn’t dare to

1. go.

Xavier got in the car. The black Bentley had just driven out of the neighborhood when Gerald called. He rejected the call.

He couldn’t think of any other reason for Gerald to call, other than to ask why he didn’t go to Jacob’s birthday party.

A moment later, Leona called. Xavier thought for a second, then answered, “Hello.”

Leona sounded frantic. “Why didn’t you answer Gerald’s call?”

258 Vouchers.

The moment Xavier heard her, he knew she must have gone to Jacob’s birthday party. His face turned cold as he said icily, “Where are you? Don’t tell me you went to the Sutton family’s place to celebrate Jacob’s birthday.”

“He’s your father–in–law. Can’t you show some respect?”

“Is that the only reason you called?”

“Why isn’t Aveline answering her phone or replying to texts? Eleanor fainted and was taken to the hospital.”

Xavier was stunned. “Fainted? What happened?”

He was thinking the old woman had probably just slipped and fallen.

“It’s because of Aveline! Today is Jacob’s birthday, and as his daughter, she didn’t even show up to celebrate, not even a phone call. Eleanor called her personally, and she didn’t pick up.”

“Eleanor got so angry, she had an apoplexy from rage and fainted. She might have had a brain hemorrhage.”

“Josie used Eleanor’s phone to text Aveline that her grandmother had fainted and was taken to the hospital, but Aveline didn’t even reply. Don’t you think she’s too heartless?”

“That’s her own grandmother, who’s doted on her since she was a child. It’s unbelievable. She’s just heartless.”

Xavier couldn’t listen anymore and said coldly, “Leona, what nonsense are you talking about? Aveline is just skipping Jacob’s birthday party. Is that such a big deal that you have to go on and on about it?”

“Let me ask you, if Marcus brought a mistress and an illegitimate daughter into the family, would you let Mason acknowledge him as his father?”

Leona was speechless.

If Marcus dared to betray her, she wouldn’t just stop Mason from acknowledging him; she would kill Marcus, the other woman, and the illegitimate daughter.

Leona said, “The old lady has fainted and been sent to the hospital. Are you going to go? North City General Hospital. As the son–in–law, you should at least show up and act concerned, right?”

Of course, Xavier had to tell Aveline about this, so he said, “Got it.”
