Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 555

Aveline instinctively wanted to pull her hand away, but on second thought, she didn’t. She let him lead her as they turned to leave.

Just then, Josephine cried out, “Grandma! Grandma, what’s wrong?”

Gloria heard her, looked over, and saw Josephine giving her a look. Eileen, who was beside her, quickly leaned in and whispered, “Faint.”

So the old woman immediately rolled her eyes back, closed them, and fell onto the bed.

Eileen shouted, “Grandma fainted again!”

Aveline and Xavier turned to look. Sure enough, she was lying on the bed again with her eyes closed.

Aveline said coldly, “Since she’s fainted again, let’s get the doctor to write up an order and take her for a scan.”

The nurse was still at the door. Xavier said to her, “Nurse, please tell the doctor the old lady has fainted again. We’re taking her for a scan right now.”

The nurse could also see the old woman was faking it. She said calmly, “Alright, which family member wants to come with me to get the order form?”

Hearing this, Gloria’s eyes shot open and she sat bolt upright. “Oh my, did I faint again?”

“Aveline, Aveline, don’t go! Grandma has something to tell you.

As she spoke, she leaned forward and suddenly grabbed for Aveline.

Xavier frowned slightly and was about to intervene, but he held back when he saw the old woman had only grabbed Aveline’s clothes.

Aveline turned and looked at Gloria coldly. “Grandma, have you had enough of this act?”

“Aveline, Grandma is just so upset. Tell me, how could you be so cruel to your father?”

Aveline said coolly, “Why don’t you tell me how I’ve been cruel to him?”

Gloria glanced at Jacob and Courtney, thinking she needed to hurry up and do what Courtney had

told her to. This act was exhausting.

She saw Courtney give her an encouraging look, so she said:

“Aveline, your father’s company was started by him and your mother when she was still alive. You can’t let it go bankrupt.”

Aveline laughed, “Jacob runs that company. What’s it to me if it goes under?”

“Stop playing dumb. Your dad wants that park project, and you’re the one stopping him, aren’t you?”

“Oh, I can do that? I had no idea.”

Gloria glanced at Courtney again and said, “As long as you don’t stop your husband from helping your dad get that project, then I won’t be so upset, and I’ll forgive you.”

Aveline smirked and looked at Xavier. “Did I stop you?”

Xavier hadn’t realized the Sutton family was putting on this whole show just for that project.

He said coolly, “My brother–in–law already secured that project. It has nothing to do with Aveline.”

Jacob cried out, “What?”

“Wait, son–in–law, didn’t you say you’d help me?”

Xavier said flatly, “I said I’d look into it. And what I found out is that my brother–in–law had already secured the project.”

Jacob was stunned.

Courtney frowned, staring at Xavier, suspecting he wasn’t telling the truth.

But she was also furious; she had clearly agreed with the old woman to keep targeting Aveline and accuse her of being a terrible daughter to Jacob, but the old hag was so worried about Jacob’s company going under that she brought up the project.

For all she knew, Xavier was just using this as an excuse to refuse to help Jacob, and it wasn’t true that Marcus had secured the project first.

Gloria panicked, yanking hard on Aveline’s clothes to pull her closer. “Aveline, Aveline, did you do this?”
