Then, she blocked Jacob.
When Jacob saw the message, his face darkened with anger, as Aveline was cursing him to die an carly death.
But deep down, he was also a little scared, because he really had wronged Bethany.
If heaven and the Underworld were real, Bethany would surely be in heaven, while he might really go to the Underworld.
But then he comforted himself: he’d only made a mistake that any man would make. If that sent him to the Underworld, then every man in the world would be in the Underworld.
How big could the Underworld be? Could it even hold that many men?
It was just a small mistake, a man’s nature. He wouldn’t go to the Underworld for that.
So Jacob replied to Aveline, 【Have you ever been to the Underworld? Do you know what it’s like? Let me tell you, you damn brat, the Underworld only takes an ungrateful daughter like you. It won’t take me.】
He hit send, only to see that she had blocked him. His chest immediately ached with anger.
Of course, Aveline didn’t know Jacob would be making excuses for his own sins, but she figured a man like him probably didn’t believe in the Underworld, so he wouldn’t take her curse seriously.
She went downstairs and saw Collin and Xavier having a good chat, though she had no idea what about.
But Collin was holding a canister of something that looked like tea. She figured Xavier was sucking up to the old man and had found him some fine tea again.
There were also several bags on the coffee table, which must have been from Xavier.
Paulina stood up. “Aveline’s down. Let’s go into the dining room for dinner.”
Once in the dining room, Xavier made a point of sitting next to Aveline. Her expression was cold, but she said nothing.
After all, in front of Collin and Paulina, if she told him to stay away, they would just tell her to be

During dinner, Collin said, “Xavier mentioned he just got back from England. He brought us some gifts, and he brought me some English black tea.”
Xavier smiled and said, “Please try it and see if you like it. If you do, I’ll bring you more.”
Aveline said coolly, “The British like sugar in their black tea. You shouldn’t drink too much of it.”
Collin replied, “The British may drink it with sugar, but I’ll just drink it without.”
Aveline said nothing more.
In reality, she was worried Xavier would show her grandfather how to make English black tea and actually add sugar, which would be bad for his health.
Xavier glanced at her but didn’t say anything either.
After dinner, the four of them sat down in the living room, and Miranda brought them fruit.
Aveline stood up.
“Didn’t you say we had something to talk about? Let’s go to the study.”
With that, she walked toward the stairs.
Xavier got up and said to the two older men, “Aveline and I did arrange to talk about something. You two take your time. We’re heading up.”
Collin nodded. “Alright, go ahead.”
Xavier followed Aveline. In the hallway on the second floor, he said:
“I know your grandfather has high blood pressure and is getting on in years. I would never have taught him to put sugar in his black tea.”
Aveline said coolly, “Well, I really have to thank you.”
Xavier smiled, “What’s with that tone? So sarcastic.”
“I’m just giving you the evidence from the security footage and trying to get a free meal out of it.”
