Aveline felt a shiver down her spine from the way he was looking at her. She cleared her throat and said, “I saw a cleaner in your office yesterday.”
Alexander thought she was going to say something soft, but she brought up someone irrelevant
instead.
“Aveline, do you suspect that I’m having an affair with the cleaner?” Alexander’s voice carried a hint
of anger.
“Where did you get that idea? I just find it strange that someone would be cleaning in your office during working hours,” Aveline replied.
Alexander nonchalantly said, “Aunt Jane lives far away and needs to leave work early. Sometimes she cleans while I’m working. What’s the big deal? You don’t mind Nora, but you care about the
cleaner?”
“Since when did the Sterling family start doing charity?” Aveline retorted.
“Aunt Jane is different from others. She saved my life, so giving her some privileges doesn’t matter,” Alexander calmly replied.
“When? Why didn’t I know about it?” Aveline dropped her fork and knife.
“You care about me?” Alexander’s stern face softened a bit. “It was a few years ago. Some reckless people were waiting for me in the underground garage, trying to run me over. Aunt Jane pushed me
away.”
Aveline frowned. “With your agility, you wouldn’t have been unable to dodge.”
“That day, something did distract my attention.”
“What distracted you?”
Alexander gazed at Aveline’s cheek and said slowly, “It was your birthday, and I had a cake specially made for you.”
Upon hearing about the cake, Aveline immediately understood. Back then, Alexander had spoiled
her.

Before her birthday, she had insisted on a high–end cake, which was not only extremely expensive but also uniquely designed.
The cake was worth six figures, more of an art piece than a dessert.
When Alexander brought it to her, one of the crystal swans on top accidentally broke off.
She didn’t make a scene at the time, but she felt it was ominous, as if it were foreshadowing something.
Alexander kept apologizing, and a few days later, she received a swan castle, which the cake shop
spent a week making.
Two large and beautiful crystal swans were necking on the lake, and she was deeply moved at the
time.
She never expected that behind this incident, Alexander had almost lost his life.
He must have been afraid of ruining the cake and disappointing her, so someone took advantage of
him.
Aveline felt a bit touched and her voice was less natural. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“I’m fine just living,” Alexander replied.
Aveline stood up with her hands on the table. “If you’re fine living, then when you want to die, do you leave a message for me? How many times has this happened?”
Alexander didn’t expect her reaction to be so strong, and he stopped cutting the steak.
“Not many, maybe a dozen times a year.”
No wonder he would get injured every once in a while.
Alexander pulled her back down. “It’s all in the past. I’ve already eliminated those forces.”
At that moment, Aveline had a strange thought in her mind. It was as if he had hidden himself to avoid dragging himself into this mess.
Not being seen might not be a form of protection.

But as soon as she thought of Nora’s existence, Aveline quickly dismissed the thought.
“Aunt Jane happened to be passing by after work, and she saved me in time, but she injured her leg in the process and hasn’t recovered yet. I wanted to thank her properly and buy her a house for retirement. She has a tough life and no relatives, so she’s willing to continue working as a cleaner, so
I let her stay on.”
“I see. Alexander, I also have something I want to tell you.”
“Go ahead.”
“Have you ever considered the possibility that it wasn’t my dad who killed your sister?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the previously pleasant atmosphere vanished. Alexander forcefully threw the cutlery into the plate, his face carrying a sarcastic, cold smile. “Aveline, is this your way of making amends?”
