Josegiune had mupired in film dresting and was now a graduate student . Clearly to support her Kanner had hunded her the advertising project for Solara Plara Jasmine then texted Aveline again . I saw the ad . It's quite good and has its highlights . But gren how it's trending , it's obvious it's being pushed . It became a trending topic out of nowhere , and now marketing accounts are byping it non - stop . The comment section is flooded with bot comments . * Not interested in watching the advertisement Aveline replied . " The Beltran Group just built the plaza . It makes sense they'd spend money to promote it and generate buzz " Indeed . That money is nothing to The Beltran Group . Jasmine replied Before Aseline could text back two more messages from Jasmine came through . " But based on Instagram , everyone would think Xavier and Josephine are a couple . How upsetting " " You and Xavier never went public with your marriage , right ? " Aveline replied calmly , " Right " Given her disposition , since Xavier had chosen to keep their marriage private , she saw no reason to reveal it herself . She had always assumed that people would naturally find out once they held a proper wedding . After a brief pause , she added , " It doesn't matter now . I'm getting a divorce anyway . Jasmine soon texted her back , " I'm totally cheering you on , Babe . " " Josephine is nothing compared to you . With all those international design awards , you never once brag about them . " " You're literally the most low - key person I know . " Aveline gave an unconcerned smile . " Getting things done is what matters to me . " You're right . Let's do our best to nail the Crestmark Group resort project , " Jasmine replied . " Let's , " Aveline texted back . After placing her phone on the nightstand , Aveline turned off the light and lay down . 0.00 % 08:29 Chapter 9 288 ( Vouchers Sleep , however , did not come easily . The photo of Josephine and Xavier clinking glasses flashed across her mind . Xavier had never looked at her with such gentleness and affection . To her , he had always been cold and indifferent , which was the inevitable result of years of dealing with shady , calculating people in the business world . But now she realized she was wrong . He did have a soft , devoted side , but only when facing the woman he truly loved . Though what Gloria had said was harsh , it was true . Josephine managed to keep Xavier around . Josephine was still a graduate student with no directing experience , yet he had handed her the advertising campaign for Solara Plaza , the largest plaza in the country under the Beltran Group . He had even invested a fortune to promote it , ensuring it was a hit , all just to build her reputation . He had spared no expense . But then again , she'd made up her mind to get a divorce . Whom Xavier loved was no longer any concern of hers . She stopped herself from dwelling on it and drifted to sleep . At 7:30 the next morning , Jasmine and Julian arrived at the studio on time . Then , Aveline drove them to the resort project site of Crestmark Group . The site was located in the newly developed Mount Ardwood Resort , which boasted beautiful scenery . Aveline had visited it with Xavier and his family before . The Beltran Group had just built an ultra - luxury hotel there a year ago . The drive took two hours . Upon arrival , they met Vivian and the architects from Crestmark Group . Vivian bore herself with a dignified demeanor and kindness . After introductions , she led Aveline and the others into the site . Early March weather was still a touch cool , but the sun shone brightly that day , and it grew warm as they walked . Vivian noticed how young , beautiful , and seemingly delicate Aveline was , and assumed she'd hold out for no more than two hours . To her surprise , three hours passed , and Aveline remained calm and composed . She spoke to the architects with professionalism , breaking down every detail clearly as she analyzed them . 33.26 % 08:29 Chapter 9 Even two of Crestmark Group's highly demanding architects praised Aveline . This made Vivian hold Aveline in a little more respect . 288 iVouchers Though others might label Aveline a " love fool , " she was sharp and perceptive . She clearly noticed the shift in Vivian's attitude . It didn't surprise her at all . After all , Everglow Studio had only just been founded , and its three partners were young , with relatively limited credentials . While Aveline held several international awards under her belt , non - professionals such as Vivian could easily write off those honors as unimportant , or even harbor suspicions that they were bought with money . Past clients had voiced similar doubts about her . Vivian might even have thought Sebastian had pulled strings for Aveline due to personal ties . Site analysis couldn't be finished in half a day or a single day . Aveline , Jasmine , and Julian had already discussed booking hotel rooms nearby to stay for a few days . Vivian said , " Mr. Harmon instructed me to take good care of you , so I've reserved rooms at the Beltran Hotel . Why not stay there for the next few days ? Crestmark Group will cover all expenses . " Jasmine and Julian didn't dare to agree , their eyes turning to Aveline for a decision . The Beltran Group's luxury hotel here had rooms starting at several hundred dollars a night . Crestmark Group's arrangement was more than generous , and it would seem improper for Aveline to refuse . Though she was divorcing Xavier , that didn't mean she would treat him as an enemy , and that she would mind staying at the hotel he owned . 08:29 C
