At this time, the banquet had not officially started yet. Everyone was scattered around, looking at the
exhibits. When Sierra called out, everyone craned their necks to look at them.
Nora caught a glimpse of Alexander’s furrowed brows and explained while holding his arm, “Sierra and Aveline are classmates. They had some conflicts before. It’s not appropriate for you, Alexander, to meddle in a little girl’s personal matters.”
Alexander pulled his arm out of her grip without saying a word, calmly adjusting his neatly tied tie.
Nora took the hint and didn’t get closer to him. She continued to remind him, “Moreover, you and her are already divorced. If you help her, what will others think of your relationship with her? We are about to get engaged, and the hospital is also being prepared. If there are any bad rumors about you at this time, it will greatly affect the Sterling Corporation’s stock price. Both morally and logically, you should draw a
line with her.”
“Who said I want to help her?” Alexander left without even looking back.
Sierra became even more aggressive, pointing at Aveline’s face provocatively, “Everyone, take a good
valuable look. This is the thief who sneaked in without even having an invitation. Be careful with your belongings, don’t let them be stolen without you knowing.”
“Where is the person in charge? How do they handle things? They even let in such a thief.”
The Rutherford patriarch’s son, Ben Rutherford, hurriedly appeared. Ben had never seen Aveline before, so he casually glanced at her attire and came to a conclusion, “Miss, please leave.”
Aveline found it amusing and not angry. “Why should I leave?”
Ben explained, “Miss, every seat here is determined based on the donation amount. There is no seat for you here.”
“Yes, why bother with this shameless woman? I don’t even know if she has detoxified herself or not. Dressed like this, she even lowers the value of standing next to her.”
Everyone’s words flew towards Aveline like sharp blades from all directions. Although they didn’t hurt physically, they cut deep into the unseen places, causing blood to spill. Words are the sharpest weapon.
Aveline stood still, her expression unchanged, and calmly said, “I made a donation.”

“You made a donation? Ha, what did you donate? Five dollars or three dollars? Let everyone hear it.”
Aveline didn’t want to be high–profile, but she was forced to this point, so she had to speak lightly, “Five billion.”
Alexander’s gaze fell coldly on her, his handsome brows furrowed.
He knew Aveline’s indifference to fame and fortune, her disregard for wealth and luxury. She wouldn’t
lie.
He gave her one billion, and she donated five billion. What was she thinking?
“Five billion? Are you not afraid of being struck by lightning when you say it out loud?”
Nora added, “Ms. Blackwood, it’s better to be honest. Lies will always be exposed. If you can’t even produce an invitation, what are you pretending for?”
“Who said she doesn’t have an invitation?”
“Who said she didn’t donate?”
Maya and Samson’s voices sounded at the same time as they rushed from two different directions.
Samson stopped in front of Alexander, “Mr. Sterling, glad to see you. I knew you were coming, so I arranged for someone to add a seat. Please take a seat here.”
Alexander’s eyes were cold, “Thank you.”
After saying that, Samson immediately turned to Aveline with an obvious enthusiasm on his face, “Ms. Blackwood, I apologize for the negligence.”
Ben and the others had the same expressions and quickly confirmed, “Dad, did she really donate five
billion?”
Samson glared fiercely at his son, “Ms. Blackwood has a kind heart, unlike you, a fool with no eyes.”
When he turned his face, he became friendly again, “Ms. Blackwood, I personally arranged your seat. Please come over here.”
His respectful attitude made everyone gasp in shock. This girl in the down feather coat really donated five
billion!
Is she crazy?

This statement was like a slap in the face for Sierra and Nora. Maya was ecstatic!
Aveline walked past Nora without any expression, not even giving her a glance.
Maya deliberately paused for a moment, “Ms. Kingsley, who is about to become Mrs. Sterling, you are still
sitting behind Anabelle. Who gave you the face to be arrogant in front of her?”
“Maya, don’t be too presumptuous.”
Maya raised an eyebrow at her, “If you’re dead, can I be more presumptuous in front of your grave? Do you believe it?”
Nora, “…

Maya’s previous frustration vanished completely.
She was not polite at all, didn’t sit next to Aveline, but chose to sit next to Nora and raised her hand, “Boss, I am Anabelle’s good friend, please add a seat for me.”
“Alright.”
