Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 679

679

“Josephine, why would you want to be a director? You should be an actress.‘

Josephine’s fingers trembled slightly. “Xav, what do you mean?”

“Do you think I’m acting?”

“My feelings for you are real, otherwise I wouldn’t have risked myself to save you.

You’re the one who’s acting.”

“Xav, just tell me what you want. Whatever it is, I’ll play along and do things your way.”

Josephine thought that if Xavier asked her to be his mistress, she might actually consider saying yes.

Xavier understood what Josephine was implying, a smirk playing on his lips. “Do what I want?”

“Fine. Go kneel before Aveline and beg for her forgiveness.”

“If she forgives you, I might consider dropping the matter of the film project funds you embezzled.”

Josephine’s face fell. It was an ugly expression. Even when she humbled herself, Xavier still wanted to humiliate her.

She had a love–hate relationship with this man, and right now, the hate was surging.

“Xav, are you trying to force my hand?”

Xavier laughed and stood up. “Josephine, what trouble could you possibly stir up?”

“Before you

do or say anything, think about whether you can handle the consequences.”

With that, Xavier walked toward the door, reaching out to pull it open.

Josephine quickly grabbed his arm. “Don’t go.”

Xavier coldly tried to shake her off, but the moment her grip loosened, she threw her arms around him, hugging him tightly.

“Xav, I’m begging you, don’t do this to me. All I did was save you. I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Chapter 679

“Aveline hates me because of my mother, but what does what my mother did have to do with me” I wasn’t even born when my mom and my dad got together ”

“Aveline can’t possibly expect me to cut ties with my own mother, can she?”

“Nay, you’re the head of the. You’re rich and powerful, you can do whatever you want. You can’t possibly be afraid of Aveline, can you?”

“Look at Aveline, making a big fuss about divorce. She doesn’t actually want one. It’s all bark and no bite.

Josephine hugging him had already filled him with a surge of anger, but hearing her words made him see red.

Because she had set a trap that he’d fallen for, Aveline had gone to court to file for divorce, and now she had the nerve to tell him Aveline didn’t really want a divorce, that she was just making a scene, that it was all bark and no bite.

Xavier grabbed Josephine’s wrist and squeezed. She immediately cried out in pain, but she endured it and didn’t let go.

She even yelled, “I’m not letting go.

“Xav, if you don’t sort this out with me today, then we’re just going to stay stuck in here.”

Seeing her so defiant, Xavier’s dark eyes grew colder than ice. He stopped treating her like a woman, and with a jab of his elbow, Josephine cried out, let go, and stumbled backward.

Xavier turned, his gaze icy as he looked at Josephine, who had fallen to the floor, clutching her stomach and coughing dryly.

Then, without a word, he turned, opened the door, and walked out.

“Xavier…”

Josephine scrambled up from the floor, shouting as she rushed out the door, “Why are you doing this to me?”

“You devil.”

Josephine rushed out the door and reached for Xavier, but he dodged her nimbly. She barely brushed his clothes before her hand slipped off.

With a cold expression, Xavier walked toward the private dining room, ignoring Josephine. But when he looked up, he saw two figures, one large and one small, standing at the entrance of a

He had excellent eyesight. Taking a closer look, he could see it was Aveline and Valentina

It seemed Aveline had seen him and Josephine struggling at the doorway.

Xavier cursed under his breath. “Damn it.

The word had barely left his mouth when Josephine lunged at him from behind, wrapping her arms around his back.

Xavier was already furious. He jabbed his elbow back again, knocking Josephine to the ground

once more.

This time, Josephine sank right to the floor, burying her face in her hands and sobbing.

A few people passed by in the hallway and saw the scene.

Xavier wasn’t afraid of other people seeing, only Aveline. He walked towards her with a cold, grim face.

And why were Aveline and Valentina at the door of the private dining room?
