Chapter 583
“Mr. Harmon is a true flower lover. He has quite a few rare specimens in there.”
Xavier said flatly, “I’ve seen them.”
Patricia smiled. “Aveline and Mr. Harmon are in there, right? Is Mr. Beltran trying not to disturb their private time?”
Xavier’s expression turned cold. “Your imagination is running a little wild, Patricia.”
Patricia kept her smile, took a sip of her drink, and said in a deliberately casual tone, “Speaking of imagination, I just heard Director Sutton say something quite imaginative. But maybe it wasn’t her imagination, maybe it’s true. I was hoping to confirm it with you, Mr. Beltran.”
Hearing her mention Josephine, Xavier’s face grew even colder. “What nonsense did she spout this time?”
Patricia replied, “Steven said Mr. Beltran pursued her and they dated. She recently broke up with you, and you weren’t happy, you were mad at her. That hug just now was her final goodbye to you.”
Xavier’s handsome face quickly frosted over, his dark eyes staring coldly at Patricia.
Patricia was startled and immediately regretted provoking him, so she quickly said, trying to get on his good side:
“Mr. Beltran, I, I didn’t mean it. I just heard Steven say that, so…”
Xavier said in a cold voice, “So you believed it?”
Patricia froze, unsure whether to say she believed it or not, “I, I, I don’t know…”
Xavier said coldly, “If you don’t know, then don’t spread rumors.”
“O–of course, Mr. Beltran. I would never spread rumors.”
Patricia sounded very guilty, because she had not only posted it in her friends‘ chat group but had also told several people at the party.
Of course, Xavier didn’t believe her. He could tell she was lying just from her expression. So he pointed to the greenhouse and said:

“Patricia, the one I’m pursuing is in there. Understand?”

Patricia froze, glanced into the greenhouse, and then nodded twice. “Understood, understood. So Mr. Beltran likes… hahaha, understood, understood.”
“I won’t disturb you any further, Mr. Beltran.”
With that, Patricia left.
She was also afraid that if she said too much, she’d slip up, anger Xavier, and the situation would be beyond repair.
Xavier watched Patricia’s retreating back, a smile on his lips, then took a sip of wine.
That Patricia was a big mouth. She would definitely spread what he just told her everywhere.
Xavier waited a few more minutes before Aveline and Sebastian finally came out. He saw Aveline smiling, clearly in a good mood, and he didn’t know whether he should be happy or unhappy.
After all, the one who put her in a good mood was Sebastian, not him.
He said flatly, “It’s late. We should go.”
Aveline gave
him a cool glance. “Mr. Beltran is still here? I saw someone outside from in there and thought it was the security guard.”
Sebastian laughed. “I can’t afford one.”
Xavier couldn’t get angry at Aveline, so he could only reply coldly to Sebastian, “Mr. Harmon knows his own limits.”
Sebastian just smiled faintly and said nothing.
Xavier saw Aveline had no intention of leaving and had returned to Fiona’s side. He could only endure it helplessly, since he couldn’t just drag her away.
Fortunately, Sebastian was the host and had to constantly entertain guests, so he didn’t linger around Aveline.
Xavier dealt with the people trying to cozy up to him, continuing to glance at Aveline from time
to time.
When Patricia spread the news that Xavier was pursuing Aveline, those at the party who heard it only had to look to see that Xavier was, indeed, constantly watching Aveline.
Aveline returned to Fiona’s side, who smiled and said, “You went to see the flowers with my
