Chapter 579
Xavier turned and said something to her, then walked away.
Watching this with a cold expression, Aveline turned her face away, deciding to ignore it and not
care anymore.
Fiona snorted coldly, “Coming all the way here to put on a show. How annoying.”
Her friend beside her said, “Is she just being shameless and throwing herself at him, or is she really sleeping with Xavier?”
Fiona snapped, “I don’t know, why don’t you go ask them.”
The friend said with a cheeky grin, “Who should I ask? Mr. Beltran? I wouldn’t dare. Josephine? I don’t even know her.”
Another friend said, “That woman has no class. She came with John, but then hugged Xavier in front of everyone. It was like a scene from a soap opera, totally staged for all the guests to see. She definitely has an agenda.”
Fiona saw Aveline looking down silently, just eating and drinking, so she said, “Okay, okay, let’s not talk about those two downers. Let’s talk about something else.”
Just then, Aveline’s phone buzzed. It was a message from Xavier.
[Babe, you’re not letting your mind run wild, are you?]
[She stopped me out of nowhere. I was ignoring her, and then she just hugged me. I didn’t see it coming.]
[I wanted to explain in person, but you’re surrounded by people.]
[We never should have come to this party. Let’s just leave.]
Aveline ignored him and put her phone down.
Xavier stood a few feet away from Aveline, watching her. When he saw her put down her phone without replying, his heart sank.
Damn it, she’s definitely letting her imagination run wild.

If Josephine weren’t a woman, he would’ve just kicked her away, and Aveline wouldn’t have gotten the wrong idea.
Xavier was in a terrible mood, his expression dangerously cold.
Sebastian walked over. “Mr. Beltran, what was that little scene? A soap opera?”
Xavier said coldly, “If you hadn’t invited John over, I wouldn’t be in this mess.”
Sebastian laughed. “In a mess? A beautiful woman hugs you and you call it a mess?”
Xavier looked at him. “If you like her so much, go fight John for her.”
With that, he took a sip of his drink.
It didn’t help, so he downed the rest in one go.
Sebastian saw this and waved over a nearby waiter. The waiter brought a tray of drinks, and Sebastian took a glass of champagne and handed it to Xavier.
Xavier took it but didn’t drink, his eyes fixed on Aveline.
Sebastian also looked over at Aveline and said, “A few people were taking pictures earlier. You should be more concerned that they might already be online.”
Hearing this, Xavier’s brow furrowed slightly. “Can’t you do something to control that?”
Sebastian laughed. “Mr. Beltran, you must be drunk. You’re not making any sense.”
“Am I supposed to grab a megaphone and warn all the guests not to post pictures from that little soap opera scene you and Steven just starred in?”
Xavier thought to himself, this must have been Josephine’s goal all along.
His dark eyes narrowed. He took a sip of his drink, then pulled his phone from the inside pocket of his suit and sent a message to Amy.
[Are you nearby?]
Amy replied, | Yes, Mr. Beltran.]
She was his driver, but also his bodyguard. She would have definitely followed him into the banquet hall, staying hidden somewhere like a shadow.
Xavier: [Get some pictures of Josephine and John. Pick the flattering ones and post them online.]
