Chapter 128
“What did you call me?” Elizabeth looked at Aveline in disbelief.
“Mrs. Kingsley, have you forgotten that you and my father divorced over a decade ago? Now your husband is Mr.Kingsley. Is it wrong for me to call you Mrs. Kingsley?”
Aveline’s tone was cold, unlike before. Even when they met after her return to the country, Aveline had been relatively gentle. But now, in a short period of time, she had become sharp like a knife.
“You have changed, Aveline. How can you say such things? After all, I am still your mother.”
“I have changed, I don’t know that people are sinister until now, human nature is ugly and selfish, if I could understand this truth earlier, I would not have thought about my mother for more than ten years in the dark night, wasting so many years waiting for someone who will never come back.”
“Aveline, mom knows I’m sorry for you, now that I’m back, I’ll do my best to make up for you.”
Aveline looked at the face in front of her, in fact, she couldn’t remember what Elizabeth looked like when
she was a child.
Compared with the photo, she has more traces of years of precipitation, and her appearance has not changed much, but the feeling of her mother in her memory is completely different.
“You abandoned me when you wanted to, and now you say that you want to compensate me, Mrs. Kingsley, have you ever thought that I don’t need your compensation at all? When I needed warmth the most, you were not there. Now that I have survived on my own, even if you give me ten times or a hundred times more warmth, it won’t be able to thaw the coldness that once came from you.”
“Aveline…”
“Mrs. Kingsley, your daughter is over there. I’m not worthy.”
There are people in this world who are born for love, and Elizabeth happens to be one of them. She didn’t love Anthony, so when Adam took her away, she could abandon everything.
For many years, there had been no news, no phone calls, no concern.
Now that everything had changed, she remembered that she still had a daughter and wanted to make up
for her.

But Aveline no longer cared.
Aveline looked at the grand and bustling hall, filled with people and noise,
What kind of dark hearts were hidden beneath these respectable appearanc??
At this point, she didn’t need family affection or love,
She only wanted to do one thing,
To make Alexander suffer deeply, to be trapped in a lifetime of pain.
Thinking of that scene, Aveline’s lips curled up.
Alexander had noticed her the moment Aveline appeared. He had prepared several dresses for her fr the banquet,
Nude pink, bright red, sky blue, and creamy yellow, but no white,
Aveline wore a well–tailored white floor–length gown, her hair fixed with hair gel at the back of her head and a white veil on top.
The veil was made of transparent material, with some sparkling diamonds falling on it. When the ligin reflected from above, it emitted a dazzling light.
She wore a pair of diamond earrings, simple yet elegant, like a lonely and desolate white rose in the ram
It made people feel pity and want to get closer, but also afraid of being pricked by her thorns.
Only to be admired from afar, not to be played with.
As if sensing his gaze, Aveline swayed her wine glass and smiled at him.
“You are… Aveline right?” A clear voice came from his ear.
Aveline shifted her gaze from Alexander and looked at the person beside her. The young man was about the same age as her, dressed in a white suit, giving off the feeling of being the most favored youngest som of a king.
Perhaps he wasn’t the most imposing, but he was the most beautiful and delicate.
“Who are you?”

Seeing Aveline looking at him, the young man became a little nervous and quickly explained, “I’m Bryce. We met when we were kids. Your family’s cat chased me up a tree and I was too scared to come down.”
