Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 275

Jade is fragile.

The Patriarch was clearly very fond of it. If it got damaged, especially at his birthday banquet, it would really spoil the mood.

Aveline saw Rupert was focused on the figurine’s carving and hadn’t answered Valentina, so she answered for him.

“They’re carved jade figurines.”

Valentina turned to look at Aveline, seemed to want to say something, but then lowered her head.

Aveline found this strange.

In fact, ever since she had come to wish Rupert a happy birthday, she had noticed Valentina looking at her strangely.

When Leona and Aunt saw how much the Patriarch liked Aveline’s gift, they exchanged a look.

Leona even curled her lip in disdain.

Brielle smiled and said, “Aveline knows you best.

Rupert smiled and nodded, “Yes, I like it very much. Aveline, you’re a good kid. Thank you.

Aveline naturally replied to him, “I’m glad you like it.”

Actually, she hadn’t known Rupert’s preferences at first. Last year, she only knew he liked jade and happened to find that antique jade desk ornament at a price she could afford.

At the time, she was worried it was too modest, because all the gifts the gave Rupert were large, expensive presents.

Unexpectedly, Rupert looked at her gift and said he liked it very much. The joy on his face was genuine, she could tell, and that’s how she learned he liked these kinds of small, intricate objects.

This year’s pair of carved jade figurines were also small, intricate objects, but they were much more expensive than last year’s antique jade desk ornament.

Mason suddenly scoffed and said, “Great–grandpa, today is your eighty–third milestone birthday

celebration, and she only gave you two bugs. Our handmade drawings are better than that.”

The Beltrans‘ faces all stiffened at once.

Only Aunt chuckled, pulled Mason over, and patted his head, “You silly child, it’s the thought that counts, not the price of the gift.”

Jasmine and Julian exchanged a look.

Aveline had spent nearly a million on this pair of carved jade figurines, and that wasn’t valuable?

Aveline’s expression was calm; she said nothing.

Just then, Rupert’s face darkened. He said in a deep voice, “The child doesn’t know any better, and neither do you. This pair of carved jade figurines not only has translucent jade quality, but the craftsmanship is also exquisite and lifelike. It’s not only valuable, but also rare.”

Being scolded by the Patriarch in front of so many people, Aunt’s face flushed. But she still glanced unwillingly at the pair of carved jade figurines, thinking that this pair of trinkets really was valuable.

The other members of the had seen so many valuables they’d developed a keen eye, and they could all tell that the pair of carved jade figurines were, just as the Patriarch had said, made of fine jade.

Jonathan shot his wife a glare, then said with a placating smile, “Dad, she’s never understood these things. She can’t tell the quality.”

He then turned to Aveline and said, “Don’t mind your aunt.”

Just as Aveline was about to say she wouldn’t, Leona cut in first, “She’s just a junior, how could she hold anything against her elders?”

After hearing that, Aveline gave Leona a cool glance and decided to say nothing at all.

Just then, there was a bit of a stir in the banquet hall, and you could faintly hear a guest ask, “Who’s that?”

Jasmine glanced toward the entrance, thought “Damn it,” and leaned in to whisper to Aveline,

“It’s Josephine.”

Aveline couldn’t help but turn to look, only to see Josephine walking into the banquet hall on Gerald’s arm.

Josephine’s makeup was exquisite; she wore an intricate and magnificent red Haute Couture
