After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 567

Chapter 567

The birthday party was held at the Ninth Mansion.

Maria and Aveline stepped into the spacious private room, only to find it buzzing with activity. The air was thick with the chatter of Cloudflare City’s young elite – scions of powerful families, each face a reminder of influence and wealth.

Maria’s eyes darted around, acutely aware that in this sea of privilege, she was an unknown.

Some recognized Aveline but didn’t approach her. They were aware of her identity and also knew about her divorce from Lucas. In their eyes, Aveline was now insignificant.

Maria led Aveline to a corner, her eyes gleaming as she looked at the crowd. “Ave, do you know what I see when I look at these people? Flashing dollar signs!”

Aveline smiled and said, “Getting them to turn into dollar signs in your pocket won’t be so simple.”

Maria glanced at her. “Why worry? I’ve got you, don’t I? Just show them some of your designs, and they’ll be blown away. My studio’s phone will be ringing off the hook!”

Aveline smiled. “You have too much faith in me.”

Bringing Aveline here might have been a mistake on Maria’s part because Aveline also recognized many familiar faces–people who had attended Barbara’s birthday banquet. They all knew her identity and were well aware that she no longer had any ties to Lucas. There was no way they’d give her any attention.

Aveline quietly nibbled on some fruit. If nothing else, the fruit here was truly sweet.

Maria stayed with her for a while, but she couldn’t sit still. After exchanging a few words, she got up to chat with some of the handsome men around.

Maria had an excellent appearance and knew just how to say things men liked to hear. Before long, she was engaged in lively conversations with a few guys.

Aveline took one glance at them before she turned her attention back to the fruit on her plate.

“Aveline.”

Sasha glanced over and then sat down beside Aveline. I thought you came with Mr. Tudor. I was wondering if you and he had reconciled, which would mean Sophia’s plans would fall through.”
