He just felt that even if Courtney was innocent at first, continuing a long–term affair with Jacob after finding out she’d been deceived meant she wasn’t innocent anymore.
When Aveline saw he wasn’t talking, she knew she had guessed right–Josephine had tricked him with the same story before.
She mocked, “So the CEO of the is this easy to fool. I’m surprised the health supplement sellers and phone scammers haven’t targeted you.”
After saying that, Aveline pulled her hand away, turned to face the car window again, and added:
“Don’t talk to me. I don’t want to talk to an idiot.”
Xavier: “…”
Amy heard it too, of course, and thought Mr. Beltran was both ridiculous and pitiful.
Xavier looked at the back of Aveline’s head and smiled nonchalantly, deciding not to provoke her further and let her calm down.
He glanced at his phone and saw two missed calls from Lauren. He had silenced it when they went into the hospital, so he hadn’t noticed.
Then Lauren sent a text: [Leona told me Aveline’s grandmother had a brain hemorrhage and might not make it. What’s going on?]
[You’re not answering your phone. You’re worrying me to death.]
Xavier replied to her, [It’s fine. I’ll tell you when I get home.]
When they arrived at the gate of the Garden Estate villa, Aveline got out of the car without a word.
Xavier got out too and said, “It’s so late. You’re not going to let me stay the night?”
Without looking back, Aveline retorted, “You can spend the night at the gate.”
Xavier watched her go inside, smiled, and got back in the car. “Let’s go to the Beltran’s mansion.”
As the car drove out of the residential community, Xavier’s phone rang. It was Gerald.

Xavier answered. Gerald asked, “How’s Josie’s grandmother?
Is she really not going to make it?”
Xavier replied coldly, “Why don’t you ask Josephine?”
“I’m afraid she’s upset. I don’t want to bother her.”
Xavier scoffed. “The old lady is alive and kicking. I don’t think she’s on her deathbed.”
“Huh? But I heard…”

Xavier cut him off. “Tell Josephine, if she keeps playing these deceptive games, can she handle the consequences?”
With that, Xavier hung up.
Gerald was stunned. What had Josephine done now? Xavier’s words were clearly a warning to her.
He quickly called Josephine.
Josephine answered right away. “Gerald.”
“Josie, how’s your grandmother?”
“She’s still dizzy. She needs to be hospitalized for observation.”
“Oh, so she’s not better yet.
I just called Xavier, why did he say the old lady was alive and kicking?”
Josephine sighed. “It’s probably because Grandma accused Aveline of being unfilial, so Xav thinks she isn’t sick.”
Gerald frowned. “Well, your grandma wasn’t wrong to accuse her. It was your dad’s birthday, and Aveline, as his daughter, didn’t do anything. Of course your grandma would be angry.”
“Xavier should understand that. But then why did he tell me to warn you about playing deceptive games and ask if you can handle the consequences?”
Hearing this, Josephine’s heart skipped a beat. “Xav told you that?”
“Yeah. It’s clearly a warning. What happened?”
Josephine bit her lip in frustration, thinking that Xavier was indeed a cold and heartless person.

He had no feelings for her at all and had been using her for the past two years.
“Gerald, I’m so sad.”
