Chapter 219
Aveline thought about it and decided that once she learned about her biological parents, she would leave Arthur Town immediately.
She agreed, “Okay.”
Hilda sneered. “That’s more like it.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
Aveline set her phone aside and lay down to sleep.
In the evening, at Celestial Heights, Aveline arrived to see Hilda anxiously waiting at the entrance.
She walked over. “Madam Hilda.”
Seeing her approach, Hilda seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and grasped Aveline’s hand. “Why are you so late? Do you not want to know about that item you had with you back then?”
Aveline pulled her hand away. “Let’s go inside first.”
“Yes, yes, let’s go in. I’ve already booked a private room. I’ve wanted to try the food here for ages, but with so many children to look after, none of you ever made enough money to treat me.”
Hilda chattered non–stop as they entered the club. Once inside, she marveled at everything, acting as if she had never seen such luxury before.
Aveline remained indifferent the entire time.
In the private room, Hilda eagerly took the menu and started ordering the most expensive dishes from Celestial Heights.
Aveline remained patient. She knew Hilda’s greedy nature and understood that unless Hilda felt fully satisfied, she wouldn’t reveal anything.
After ordering, Hilda pointed at Aveline and told the waiter, “She’ll be paying. Make sure to remember her face so she doesn’t run off.”
Aveline was speechless.
The waiter awkwardly replied, “…Alright.”
Hilda studied Aveline, quietly amazed at how she’d changed. As a child, Aveline had

been pale and skinny from lack of food. But over the years, she’d blossomed into a beautiful young woman.
Now, she was a true beauty.
The bright lighting in the private room highlighted her simple white blouse and jeans. Her long hair fell smoothly over her shoulders, giving her a serene and gentle demeanor. Her features were exquisite and attractive, yet she wore no makeup, exuding a subtle purity.
The blend of different qualities in her appearance was perfectly balanced, stirring a desire to break through her calm façade.
Hilda’s eyes gleamed with a cunning light.
