Chapter 602
Fiona: [This is such a clear–cut case. If I can’t win it, I’ll give up my law license, how about that?]
Xavier’s gaze turned icy. He didn’t reply to Fiona. Instead, he contacted the manager of The Beltran Hotel at Mount Ardwood and told him to send the restaurant’s security footage from that day.
Amy came in. “Mr. Beltran, our people suggested a video call with Eric, but he refused.”
“He said he’s worried we might be recording, video or audio, and he doesn’t want to leave any evidence. He said he has to tell you in person, that you just need to hear it.”
“Mr. Beltran, I’m afraid Eric is up to something.”
Xavier tapped his fingers on the desk for a moment, then said, “Let me check my schedule for the next few days, and we’ll see.”
Amy asked, “Mr. Beltran, are you really going to meet him?”
“Let me go instead.”
Xavier said calmly, “He wants to see me. What’s the point of you going?”
“How much money does he want?”
Amy replied, “Twenty million.”
Xavier laughed.
Xavier’s long fingers tapped lightly on the desk. “What kind of information is this that she dares to ask for so much money?”
“If this news isn’t worth the price, wouldn’t I be a total sucker?”
Amy said, “Mr. Beltran, I also think Eric doesn’t know much, and it’s not important. Otherwise, how could she still…”
…be wandering around so freely abroad.
Xavier said calmly, “Although I’m anxious to know what happened back then, I’m not stupid enough to let someone blackmail me.”

“Tell her her information isn’t worth that much. There’s no way I’m giving her that kind of
money.”
“She’s the one who’s desperate for money, not me. I can find someone who knows more.”
Amy nodded, “Understood, Mr. Beltran.”
In the evening, Collin and Paulina went for a walk after dinner and only found out about the matter when an acquaintance in the neighborhood asked them about the statement Jacob had posted online.
The two elders quickly turned around and went home to ask Aveline.
Aveline comforted them, “It’s not a big deal. You can tell from the statement that Jacob doesn’t really want to disown me. He just wants to clarify for Courtney that the child she had is his.”
“That statement clearly came from Courtney. She might have even written it herself.”
“Jacob wouldn’t dare to cut ties with me. If he did, he wouldn’t be Xavier’s father–in–law
anymore.”
“If anything, I’m the one who wants to cut ties with him.”
Collin said in a deep voice, “A father like that, it’s right not to acknowledge him.”
But Paulina asked, “Aveline, do you suspect the child Courtney had isn’t Jacob’s?”
Aveline replied to her, “I was just trying to provoke Josephine. As for whether it’s true or not, who knows. I don’t care.”
Paulina snorted, “If Jacob weren’t an idiot, he would have gotten a paternity test long ago for a child from a woman like Courtney.”
At the Sutton family’s home, seeing that it was evening and there was no reaction from Aveline or Xavier, Jacob asked Courtney worriedly,
“Aveline didn’t take it seriously, did she? Is she really going to disown me?”
Courtney replied unhurriedly, “What’s the rush? If she really wanted to cut ties with you, she would have come to you by now.”
“The statement is out, that’s enough to scare her. It’s normal for her to stay quiet.”
Josephine brought over a plate of washed strawberries to eat with her mother, then said:
“Mom, the producer contacted me. He wants to meet and talk about the movie. I have a bad
