Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572

A guest then asked for an introduction, and Xavier said, “She is the chief architect for our Mount Ardwood Theme Park.”

He didn’t mention that Aveline was also the chief landscape architect for The Luohua Six Peaks

Resort.

Sebastian and Fiona, who were talking with guests they knew, heard him and looked over. Fiona was about to speak, but several guests had already started schmoozing with Aveline, and she couldn’t get a word in.

Aveline exchanged a few pleasantries with them, noticing from the corner of her eye that Xavier was watching her with a smile the whole time. Even when people came to greet him, he only gave a brief response, clearly not interested in talking to anyone trying to get close.

When Xavier saw she was about done with the pleasantries, he leaned in, offering his arm. “Architect, let’s go in.”

Aveline saw that everyone was watching them, and it would be incredibly awkward if she didn’t play along.

It would be awkward not just for him, but for her as well. After all, she was the chief architect hired by the for a major, internationally recognized project.

Resigned, Aveline had no choice but to reach out and take Xavier’s arm.

The two of them walked toward the banquet area inside the garden, and someone behind them whispered, “They look good together.”

“Totally. So easy on the eyes.

“I thought we’d see that female director Mr. Beltran is backing, but he came without a date.”

“Didn’t you see the reports? It’s not like that. The Beltran Group is just planning to enter the film industry.”

“I heard they stopped filming the movie.”

They were all people of status, so after a few remarks, they dropped the subject.

Fiona watched Xavier lead Aveline into the venue and said irritably to Sebastian, “That guy is so

shameless.”

Sebastian smiled faintly. “I knew he wouldn’t let me have that advantage.”

“Let’s go in too.”

Xavier and Sebastian entering one after the other naturally drew attention. Many people recognized Fiona but not Aveline, so they were curious who the woman on Xavier’s arm was.

Of course, some people who had attended Rupert’s birthday banquet recently recognized Aveline from that event.

The moment they were inside, Aveline immediately dropped Xavier’s arm and stood still, waiting for Fiona to join her.

Xavier looked at her helplessly, “You’re being pretty obvious about your disgust.”

Aveline said flatly, “I am disgusted by you. You’re the one who came over here, so who’s to blame?”

Fiona came over, dripping with passive–aggressive sarcasm, “Thanks for the trouble, Mr. Beltran.

“Aveline, let’s go get something to eat. I’m starving.”

As she spoke, she took Aveline’s arm and led her away.

Xavier watched Aveline walk away and smiled slightly. He figured since she rarely came to parties, he should let her have fun and not annoy her.

As for him, he couldn’t possibly be left alone. The moment he was by himself, people immediately flocked to him—not just men, but plenty of women, especially young, single ones.

Although Fiona said they were going to eat, she first introduced Aveline to a few of her close friends. Hearing Aveline’s name, they couldn’t help but give her a few extra glances.

Aveline understood it was because of the media reports and online comments. She remained calm and composed, unbothered by their appraising looks.

Afterwards, Aveline and Fiona got some food and sat at a table with their friends, eating, chatting, and admiring the flowers.

One of them couldn’t resist asking, “Miss Sutton, have you known Xavier for a long time?”

Aveline replied calmly, “Yes.”

“Do you really have a half–sister, the female director that Mr. Beltran is pouring money into
