When Aveline was filled with excitement, she grabbed Nora’s hair fiercely and said,
“Isn’t he supposed to be a good man with a faithful image? Aren’t you his beloved woman? I think the whole nation would love to know that he has an ex–wife, and that you, the enviable Mrs. Li, are actually at
heartless woman! I have all the evidence!”
Aveline knew that this threat might not work on Alexander. He was like a god, high above and not concerned about mortal opinions,
But Nora was different. She had worked so hard to achieve everything she had today, and her reputation meant everything to her,
This threat was enough to make her tremble in fear.
“Alright, alright, I understand. It’s just the Blackwood’s family mansion, I can give it back to you. Just keep the knife away.”
“Lastly, let me warn you. If you dare to cause trouble for my friend, I will ruin your reputation, Ms. Kingsley, You’re a smart woman, you should understand the concept of not sacrificing the big picture for small gains. Don’t end up empty–handed like drawing water with a bamboo basket.”
Aveline used to think that engaging in such petty conflicts was beneath her, but now she realized that it didn’t matter if it was beneath her. It felt good.
Nora felt like her scalp was being ripped off. She had been so arrogant before, but now she was in a sorry
state.
“Yes, yes, I’ll do as you say. The knife… my neck hurts.”
The blade of the knife pressed against Nora’s neck, and blood slowly seeped out…
Aveline did apply some force to make her bleed a little, but not enough to put her life in danger.
“Remember the pain you felt today. If there’s a next time, I’ll kill you directly.”
“Yes, I understand!” Nora trembled in fear. From now on, she would stay far away from this crazy
woman.
Aveline finally let go of Nora’s neck. Nora complained as she kicked the maid and went upstairs to take a

Jamie, who was forcefully taken away, cried loudly, calling out for his mother or his papa. The nanny tried her best to comfort him, but he couldn’t be pacified.
The phone in Aveline’s pocket fell out, and Jamie saw it. He crawled over and grabbed the phone, drooling as he said, “Papa, talk.”
Occasionally, when Alexander wanted to video call, he would go through the nanny. The nanny had no choice but to dial Alexander’s video call.
Alexander always answered immediately whenever it was about Jamie. He saw Jamie’s red eyes, crying like a little rabbit, and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Sterling. Young Master has been acting strangely today. Ever since we had a guest at home, he wanted to get close to the guest. After I took him away, he started crying.”
The nanny was loyal to Alexander and had no reservations about telling him the truth.
“A guest?” There weren’t many people who could make Jamie willingly approach them. In fact, even Nora couldn’t get a good reaction from him most of the time.
“It seems to be Ms. Blackwood,” the nanny said, unaware of the relationship between Aveline and Alexander.
At that moment, Jamie seemed to have noticed something. He quickly walked towards the window, and the nanny hurriedly followed, calling out, “Young Master.”
Jamie was on the second floor and could see Aveline on the terrace, wiping her hair with a wet towel.
He suddenly became very excited, leaning against the floor–to–ceiling window and calling out repeatedly, “Mommy, mommy.”
