She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 288

Today was Elina’s fifth birthday, and Bryant had gone all out, booking a luxurious river cruise to celebrate.

He invited his colleagues and friends, as well as the teachers and students from Sunnybrook Kindergarten.

Of course, he also invited Melanie.

To avoid ruining the atmosphere, he did not invite his ex-wife, Elina’s biological mother.

She didn’t remember Elina’s birthday anyway.

Naturally, he had no intention of inviting Dominic or Evelyn either.

He hadn't wanted to invite Lila either, but she was also a student at Sunnybrook Kindergarten and Elina's classmate. Moreover, Lila was related to Melanie—she was her niece.

By any measure of reason or courtesy, he couldn’t leave Lila out.

In the end, Bryant invited Lila.

As Lila’s guardian, Evelyn naturally had to board the ship. Dominic came too. He arrived with Melanie, in his capacity as her husband.

And so, they all gathered on the cruise ship to celebrate Elina’s birthday.

The river’s surface shimmered as the luxurious cruise ship sailed slowly, flanked by the brilliant lights of the towering buildings on both banks.

Elina was beyond thrilled.

It was safe to say this was the happiest day of her life and the best birthday she had ever had.

Not only were the riverbanks a riot of colorful lights, but the cruise ship itself was also exquisitely decorated with lanterns and streamers.

The adults were clinking glasses and mingling.

The children were chasing each other on the deck, playing joyfully.

Tonight, for once, Lila wasn’t bullying Elina. Not only did she not bully her, but she also kept complimenting her on how beautiful her little dress was.

Elina felt flattered.

She even started to think that she and Lila had buried the hatchet and become good friends.

The two little girls held hands, running and skipping over to the side of the ship.

“Wow… the night view of the river is so beautiful…”

Elina’s big, watery eyes were completely captivated by the colorful lights on the shore, utterly mesmerized.
