Chapter 139
Aveline smiled lightly, "I thought he was just using you as a way to get back at me."
"Why would you think of that?" Alexander frowned, feeling that something was off about Aveline tonight. He had wanted to say a few more words, but Nora's interruption meant he had to go and clean up the mess she had caused.
Waiting for him was not only a crying Nora, but also the hellish Kingsley family.
He handed the room key to Aveline, "Go back to your room and change your clothes."
As long as she changed her clothes, no one would know that it was her just now. As for the rumors online, Alexander could easily handle them.
He didn't know what Aveline was planning in her heart. In order to ease the previous awkwardness, the fireworks that were originally scheduled for ten o'clock were moved up by two hours.
In the freezing weather, the fireworks soared into the sky, attracting a large crowd of spectators.
The deck, covered in thick layers of snow, was bustling with.people.
The dazzling fireworks display temporarily made everyone forget about the previous awkwardness, and they all enjoyed the beauty of the moment.
Even those in high positions couldn't refuse the fleeting beauty.
Except for the crying Sierra who covered her face, Connor stood by her side and comforted her like a gentleman, "You're already so old now, you should have started using your brain by now."
Sierra was now filled with regret. The slap from Nora wasn't important; what was important was Aveline. "How would I know that the man behind her was Mr. Sterling? If he finds out that I planned this, not only will I lose my shares, the Sterling's will also be finished!"
"That's why I said you're stupid."
"Connor!" Sierra hadn't thought of this yet. The naive her thought that Aveline was Alexander's mistress. Even if she was a mistress, she was still Alexander's woman.

Chapter 139
Who didn't know that Alexander Sterling was the most protective? Sierra stomped her feet in anxiety, her face full of worry. How would she survive in this circle in the future? She definitely wouldn't be able to make it.
Just as she was thinking this, she saw Aveline appear in the corridor. She felt both hatred and fear towards Aveline.
But she didn't hold back, "Don't think that by climbing onto Mr. Sterling, you've climbed onto a high
branch. Mr. Sterling is just playing with you. You've offended the Kingsley family, and you don't even know how you're going to die."
She still didn't know that Aveline was Alexander's ex-wife.
Connor really admired her foolish brain, but Alexander had been hiding it for so long that he didn't even think of exposing it himself.
Connor quickly stood in front of her, "Aveline, she always speaks without thinking. Please don't mind her." Aveline nodded at Connor, and the two shared a secret understanding.
Their gazes fell on Sierra, and Aveline's voice was soft but devoid of any warmth, "Can't I choose to live, nor choose to die?"
Sierra was intimidated by the coldness in her eyes and didn't know how to respond.
Sierra whispered, "Connor, why do I feel like she's acting strange? What did she mean by those words she just said?"
"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about it."
"Bang!"
The fireworks continued to rise, illuminating the night as bright as day.
Jamie didn't like noisy places like this. It was a bit too chaotic, so Nora had someone take him back to his room. It was time for him to sleep.
Evelyn was about to take him back to the room when Jamie pointed at the cake not far away and babbled.
"Sir Jamie, you can't eat sweets at night, or you'll get cavities."
Jamie didn't listen. The cake looked just like the one his mom made. If he couldn't son bi Chapter 139
he eat a few pieces of cake that his mom made?
Evelyn had no choice but to compromise and put him down on the ground. "Sir Jamie, I'll get it for you. Just wait for me."
As soon as she left, Jamie saw Aveline in the corridor, and his big eyes instantly lit up. Mommy is here!
