Chapter 651
“Xavier?”
“It’s me.”
“Come in.”
Xavier walked in and saw the Patriarch reading a book. When he entered, the Patriarch put the book down.
“Sit.”
Xavier sat down. The Patriarch looked at him and asked, “You went to Garden Estate?”
“Yes. I had dinner there.”
Rupert looked relieved. “That’s good.”
Xavier guessed the Patriarch thought his relationship with Aveline had improved, which was why he was able to have dinner there.
Then. Rupert asked, “Tell Aveline to come for dinner tomorrow. I haven’t seen her in a while.”
Xavier paused for a moment, then said, “Grandpa, Aveline is still mad at me. Besides, she’s busy, so she probably won’t come.
As soon as Rupert heard that, his good mood disappeared.
The Patriarch stared at Xavier, sizing him up, and said, “Don’t tell me Aveline is still going on about a divorce.”
Xavier was silent.
Rupert got angry and pointed at him. “You… are you still in contact with Jacob’s illegitimate daughter?”
Xavier quickly explained, “How could I be? I’m just waiting to find out what really happened back then so I can destroy that mother and daughter.”
Rupert said with a stern face, “If you had told me about this from the beginning, we wouldn’t be in this situation now.”

“Did you go over today and show Aveline those photos?”
“I did, but she didn’t recognize them.”
Rupert picked up his cup to drink his tea, his eyes lowered in thought.

After taking a couple of sips of tea, he kept his eyes down and asked, “Xavier, do you have any suspects?”
Xavier considered for a moment before replying, “Of course.”
“Is it someone from our family?”
Xavier said nothing.
Rupert sighed. “With a family and business this large, it’s inevitable that among the
descendants…”
Xavier remained silent.
After a moment, Rupert said, “Those two who kidnapped you are still in prison. Do you think we should send someone in to question them?”
Xavier replied, “I’ve thought about it, but the fact that they’re just sitting quietly in prison proves they don’t know who the mastermind is. Or, they were used without even realizing it.”
“Besides, if I send someone in to question them, it might tip off our target.”
Rupert nodded. “That’s a valid concern. After all, whoever is behind this doesn’t know that you’ve already found out Jacob’s illegitimate daughter deceived you.”
Xavier said, “I’m looking into Michelle’s background right now.
Rupert looked at him. “Xavier, if you find out it was someone from our family, what will you do?”
Xavier fell silent again.
Rupert was also silent, watching him as if demanding an answer.
Xavier knew the Patriarch was old and had lost the ruthlessness of his youth; he definitely couldn’t bear to see his own descendants destroy each other.
He said, “I’ll deal with it then.”
Rupert studied him for a moment, sighing inwardly. “Go get some rest.”

Xavier left the study.
Rupert mulled things over in the study for a while, then picked up his phone and called Barry.
