Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 575

Chapter 575

John looked smug hearing Josephine get complimented on her looks, like he’d stolen something from Xavier and was proud of it.

After what felt like an eternity, the crowd around John thinned out, and they finally walked up to Sebastian and Xavier.

“Mr. Harmon, Mr. Beltran.”

John then gave a nod to the others.

Sebastian stood up. “Mr. Vance, welcome, welcome. Please enjoy yourself tonight.”

He then glanced at Josephine but didn’t say hello.

Xavier remained seated and just said coolly, “Mr. Vance.”

That counted as a greeting.

He also just gave Josephine a cold glance.

John thought Xavier was unhappy that Josephine was with him and said with a smile, “Mr. Beltran, how could you have forgotten Ms. Sutton?”

Xavier swirled the drink in his glass. He couldn’t just make a scene in front of everyone, so he said with a half–smile:

“How could I forget? Director Sutton not only directed the ad for the’s commercial plaza, but the first movie the invested in was also directed by her. It’s just a shame filming is on hold.”

“Director Sutton, when will filming resume?”

Josephine froze, not expecting Xavier to be so ruthless.

How was she supposed to answer that? Was she supposed to say he stopped the funding, so the movie couldn’t continue?

Her mother was wrong. Xavier was definitely pulling his investment; the movie was dead.

Otherwise, why would he mock her like this in front of so many people?

John was also stunned, unable to figure out what Xavier meant. Was he lashing out because Josephine was with him, or was he simply unhappy with her directing skills?

The others were enjoying the show.

Josephine put on a smile. “Xav, don’t joke with me. It’s not like you don’t know why filming stopped. I’m also really hoping to get back to it soon.”

Xavier lowered his eyes, took a sip of his wine, and said coolly, “Mm, I’m waiting for a good

show.”

Josephine gave him a deep, suspicious look, not understanding what he meant or if there was a hidden meaning.

A socialite who loved to gossip heard Josephine call Xavier “brother” so affectionately and smiled, “Director Sutton calls Mr. Beltran ‘brother.‘ Are you two related?”

Afraid Josephine would say something reckless, Xavier said coolly, “I’m a very close acquaintance of her half–sister.”

The socialite, who of course knew about the rumors spreading online, smiled deliberately. “Mr. Beltran, you’re talking about Aveline, the lead architect for the Mount Ardwood Theme Park, right?”

“Yes.”

“So Director Sutton calls Mr. Beltran ‘brother‘ because of your connection to Aveline.

It seems your relationship with Aveline must be very close, Mr. Beltran. I’ve always admired talented and beautiful women. Please do introduce us sometime.”

Xavier gave a faint smile but didn’t speak. He looked over toward Aveline and saw that surgeon, Kyle, sitting beside her, laughing and talking with her. His expression turned slightly cold.

“Excuse me, everyone. I’m going to have a word with our lead architect.”

With that, Xavier walked toward Aveline.

Once Xavier left, no one went out of their way to talk to Josephine, but they were still polite enough to John, making small talk.

Because these influential people weren’t stupid. They could tell Josephine was Aveline’s father’s illegitimate daughter, and seeing her cozying up to John, they looked down on her even more.

Josephine felt uncomfortable being ignored, so she said to John, “Mr. Vance, let’s go get
