Chapter 443
“So that’s Lucas‘ wife. She’s quite pretty!”
“She used her looks to cling onto Lucas. Rumor has it she saved him when he had amnesia, then married him. After Lucas regained his memories, she refused to divorce him.”
“Tsk, once she latched onto that money tree, how could she let go so easily?”
“Just watch, the Tudor family has been ensnared by this woman!”
Whispers and murmurs arose from the crowd.
The onlookers‘ gazes were either curious or contemptuous, with no hint of kindness.
Aveline took it all in, lowering her eyes slightly with a polite smile on her face.
After the lengthy congratulatory speeches ended, the banquet began.
Barbara kept holding Aveline’s hand, showing no interest in going to eat.
Yvonne said, “Aveline, why don’t you stay with Madam Barbara for a while? We need to go entertain the guests.”
“Alright,” Aveline nodded.
She was eager to leave such an uncomfortable situation anyway.
She wheeled Barbara away from the courtyard and straight to the garden, where it was quiet and nearly
empty.
Don’t like it,” Barbara suddenly said.
Confused, Aveline moved in front of her and bent down. “Grandma, what did you say?”
Barbara pouted. “I don’t like those people. I want to send them all away!”
Her childish words were accompanied by a clearly unhappy expression.
Aveline smiled. “But they’ve all come to wish you a happy birthday.”
Barbara huffed. “Hmph, I don’t care!”
Aveline couldn’t help but laugh. Then she asked, “Grandma, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?”
Barbara shook her head. “I don’t want food. I want a flower crown.”
Aveline was surprised that she still remembered the flower crown she had made for her before.
“Then I’ll make one for you.” Aveline looked around. The garden was in full bloom, with flowers competing in beauty.
“Oh yes, yes!” Barbara clapped her hands excitedly from her wheelchair.
Aveline walked into the flower beds, carefully selecting blooms.
Suddenly, a terrified cry from Barbara rang out. “Ah!”

Aveline rushed to look and saw Barbara’s wheelchair rapidly moving downhill!
At the bottom were stone steps. If the wheelchair tipped over, Barbara would certainly be injured!
Aveline’s face went pale with fright. She dropped the flowers and ran after the wheelchair.
“Ah!” Barbara cried out in terror as the wheelchair picked up speed.
Just as it seemed about to tip over, someone suddenly dashed out and positioned themselves in front of the wheelchair, stopping its descent!
Seeing this, Aveline let out a huge sigh of relief.
Barbara, however, was so frightened that she burst into loud sobs, her face covered in tears and mucus.
