Aveline found it incredible that the mother and son would do something like this. “He went back to the city? He’s not looking after you? He just left you here?”
“Aren’t you here to take care of me?”
“What do you really want by coming here?”
“You made me so angry I fainted. I had a minor brain hemorrhage, and the doctor told me to get plenty of rest. He said Mount Ardwood has great air and beautiful scenery, so it’s the perfect place
to recover.”
“So your dad sent me here.
I can stay in the hotel, or a villa is fine too. He just wants me to stay here for a while, and once I’m feeling better, I can go back to the city.”
Aveline looked at her coldly, “Are you kidding me?”
A few other people were sitting in the lounge area, staring at the grandmother and granddaughter. Jasmine figured Aveline was too furious to notice the onlookers, so she gave her a little tug.
“Aveline, let’s take your grandmother to lunch first. We can talk once we’re in the private dining
room.
That snapped Aveline back to reality. She knew this wasn’t the place to start a fight with her grandmother.
She glanced at the suitcase next to her grandmother, walked over and grabbed it. “Come on, let’s go get lunch first.”
Seeing Aveline soften up, Gloria smiled smugly.
Jacob had dropped her off at the hotel. The moment she saw how spacious and luxurious it was, she loved it. She felt that staying here for a while would definitely add a few years to her life.
But Jacob had said that the villa Xavier bought on Mount Ardwood was worth hundreds of millions, so it must be incredibly luxurious too, with stunning scenery all around.
Why not stay in the hotel for a few days, and then the villa for a few days?

Gloria, feeling quite pleased with herself, followed Aveline to the private dining room of the
Chinese restaurant.
On the way, Jasmine texted Julian. | Aveline’s grandmother is here. We have to take her to a private dining room to eat. Are you coming over, or are you staying at the buffet?]
Julian was surprised. [What’s her grandmother doing here?]
[Would it be okay if I came over?]
Jasmine: [What’s there to be inconvenient about? It’s not like you don’t know about the Sutton family’s drama.]
Julian: [I’ll head over then, in case you need my help with anything.]
Aveline walked into the private dining room without a word and immediately called the waiter over to order.
She ordered two dishes, then handed the menu to Jasmine and told her to order what she wanted.
Jasmine saw that Aveline had no intention of ordering for Gloria. Thinking about the pain the Sutton family had caused Aveline, she decided not to be the nice one either. She ignored Gloria and ordered two dishes.
Aveline said, “Go ahead and order something Julian likes.
So Jasmine ordered one more dish. “This should be enough for the four of us.”
Aveline nodded and dismissed the waiter.
Gloria was stunned. “Aveline, aren’t you going to let me order?”
Aveline said coolly, “You’ll eat what I order. If you don’t like it, you can go hungry. It’ll be a good way to lose some weight.”
Gloria got angry. “What weight do I need to lose? I’m not fat.”
Jasmine glanced at Gloria. For her age, she was indeed overweight, which wasn’t good for her health.
Gloria noticed Jasmine’s scrutinizing gaze and said with a stern face, “At my age, you need some fat to live a long life.”
What kind of nonsense is that?
Jasmine scoffed internally, but said with a smile, “Gloria, with all that fat, skipping one meal
