ollin sighed “Forget it. Your grandmother and I won’t go. You should go by yourself. Just deliver the birthday gift, offer your well wishes, and show some respect. That’ll be enough.”
“After all, in the years you’ve been with Xavier, Rupert has been very fond of you and has taken good care of you”
“Even though you and Xavier are getting a divorce, you can’t make an enemy of the. You still need to be polite and greet them when you see them in the future.”
Aveline replied. “I know, Grandpa.
Jasmine and Julian are going tomorrow night too. We’re going as the architects.”
“Oh”
Well, that’s good. That’s very good.”
After hanging up. Aveline said to Jasmine and Julian, “Since we’ve been invited to the banquet as the theme park architects, we can’t not go. After all, we have to do the project.”
Jasmine nodded. “Yeah, we were invited. If we don’t go and Bernard finds out, he’ll definitely
chew us out.
“And who knows, maybe Bernard was invited too.”
“Besides, once we start our own company, we’ll definitely have to compete for projects from big corporations like the ”
Julian said flatly. “I’m with you. You guys decide.”
Aveline didn’t expect that wasn’t the end of it. Back in her room, Brielle called and immediately started persuading her to go to the banquet tomorrow night.
Aveline knew Xavier must have put her up to it, so she replied:
“The Patriarch just called He also invited two of my colleagues We’ll be there tomorrow night.”
“As architects.”
Aveline added that specifically, so Brielle wouldn’t get the wrong idea.

Brielle paused for a second, then said, “That’s great. Valentina keeps saying she hasn’t seen her pretty aunt in ages and really misses you.”
“Then we’ll see you tomorrow night.”
After hanging up, Brielle smiled at Xavier, who was sitting next to her.
Xavier raised an eyebrow. “How did she agree the moment you asked? Brielle, it seems you’re much more important to her than I am.”
He gave a self–mocking laugh. “I guess I don’t matter to Aveline at all.”
Brielle shot him a look. “What are you talking about? If you didn’t matter to her, why would she have married you?”
“Just for your money? Or just for your good looks?”
Xavier
gave a faint smile, picked up his teacup, and drank without saying a word.
Brielle continued, “Grandpa called her. He also invited two of Aveline’s colleagues.”
“Aveline is soft–hearted. She respects her elders, so once Grandpa asked, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.”
“Since Grandpa handled it for you, you have to remember that Aveline can’t stand the Sutton family. You can’t let Jacob bring Courtney and Josephine to the birthday banquet tomorrow night.”
Xavier said flatly, “I didn’t send him an invitation. How could he possibly show up?”
“Good. If they actually show up, Aveline might just turn around and walk out.”
Aveline took a shower, then called Fiona to tell her about attending the banquet tomorrow night.
Fiona sighed, “You’re just too soft–hearted.
I have your birthday gift here. I’ll pick you up tomorrow and we can go together.”
Aveline replied, “No need.
Jasmine, Julian, and I are heading back to the city tomorrow at noon. I’m not planning on buying a new dress, I’ll just wear an old one. Jasmine and I are about the same size, so she can wear one of mine.”
“As for Julian’s, Jasmine and I will have to help him pick something out. He doesn’t know what to
wear.
