Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85

“Mr. Beltran, Fiona has been really busy lately and isn’t in the best mood. Please don’t hold it against her.”

Xavier said flatly, “I won’t.”

Robert looked toward Josephine. “Aren’t you going to introduce us, Mr. Beltran?”

So Xavier introduced Josephine by name.

When Robert heard this, he said in surprise, “So Ms. Sutton is the director for the’s Solara Plaza.”

Josephine nodded and smiled, “Yes, Mr. Baldwin. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Robert glanced at Xavier, then praised her, “Director Barron Sutton is not only incredibly talented but also so beauti- ful. It’s truly enviable.”

Josephine thought this Robert was quite perceptive and started chatting with him enthusiastically.

Fiona glanced over, snorted coldly, and turned to Aveline, saying, “Our managing partner was probably scared to death, rushing over to apologize to Xavier.”

Aveline scooped at her cake and said calmly, “Well, they’re already here, and it’s your birthday. There’s no need to make yourself unhappy.”

Fiona’s face was stern. “Xavier and Gerald know I can’t stand that woman, yet they insisted on bringing her. Aren’t they just trying to ruin my night?”

Then she glared at Sebastian. “It’s all your fault. Why did you let them come?”

Sebastian laughed. “You get three extra presents. Isn’t that a good thing?

You should learn from Aveline and be calmer.”

Fiona looked at Aveline’s calm face, then back at Sebastian, and said,

“Brother, ever since I introduced you to Aveline, you act like you’ve discovered a treasure. All you do lately is praise Aveline.”

Sebastian smiled faintly, swirling the red wine in his glass. “Aveline is indeed great. Better than you.”

Aveline laughed shyly. “Mr. Harmon, if you keep praising me, Fiona is going to get jealous.”

“Haha, Fiona gets jealous? I had no idea.”

Hearing the voice, Aveline, Fiona, and Sebastian all looked up at the same time.

Robert, Xavier, Josephine, Gerald, and another senior partner from Beacon Law Firm, Jordan Baker, had walked

over. They had obviously heard every word of the trio’s conversation.

From the looks of it, Robert and Jordan had brought them over for a reason; they must have something to discuss. Sure enough, Robert said with a smile, “Since all four partners of our law firm happen to be here, and Director Sut- ton’s upcoming movie is a major production heavily backed by the, why don’t our firm invest in an ad?”

Jordan chimed in, “I hear the Crestmark has also invested in an ad, right, Mr. Harmon?”

Sebastian smiled faintly. “I don’t handle such minor details. That was a decision made by the marketing department.”

Aveline kept her eyes down, eating her cake with a detached expression, acting as if none of this concerned her.

Fiona glanced at her, then at Josephine’s smug face. Annoyed, she scoffed, “Director, if our firm has the money to spend on advertising, we’d get a better reputation by donating to charity.”

Robert and Jordan’s expressions shifted slightly.

Robert shot Fiona a warning look, then smiled. “Steven Sutton said we’re all very good friends, the advertising fee won’t be too high.”

Fiona also forced a smile. “Why advertise in a movie of questionable quality? I suggest we have my friend, the inter- nationally renowned designer, draw us some promotional art and design a logo. Our firm’s name would absolutely go international.”

“Aveline, you’ll only charge me a friend’s rate, right?”

Aveline gave a slight smile. “Free.”

Fiona heard this and immediately put her arm around Aveline’s shoulder, saying, “See, this is what real friends are like.”

As she spoke, she even raised an eyebrow at Xavier and Josie.

Josie’s face stiffened. She said, “I wasn’t asking for a lot of money, it was just a symbolic fee. After all…”
