Divorced

Chapter 627

Aveline pulled her hand back, giving Rina a cold look. “I have the right to be wherever I want. Don’t you think you’re overstepping, Miss Johnson?”

Rina’s face darkened further. “You wretch! How dare you show up at Russ’s birthday party? Get out!”

“Rina!”

Russell’s voice was noticeably colder as he stood up, pulling Aveline behind him. His usually warm eyes now held a hint of frost as he looked at Rina.

“Aveline is my guest.”

“Russ, she’s nothing but a fickle, untrustworthy woman who-”

Seeing Russell stand up for Aveline only made Rina’s expression sour even more. She pointed accusingly at Aveline, her face full of resentment.

Russell grasped her wrist, gently lowering her hand. “She’s my guest. She came to celebrate my birthday. Rina, you can’t act like this.”

“Russ!”

Rina was furious. She wanted to throw Aveline out! She couldn’t stand seeing another woman near Russell! But with Russell’s expression already darkening, she knew that if she pushed any further, he might kick her out instead.

With a huff, Rina glared viciously at Aveline.

She silently cursed her, “Wretched woman, slut!”

Russell sighed. “That’s enough, sit down.”

He sat back down and pulled Aveline down with him to sit by his side again.

Not wanting to be overshadowed, Rina edged out the person on Russell’s other side and took their seat. She glanced at Aveline and asked with a hint of challenge, “I’m curious, Miss Young, what gift did you bring for Russ‘ birthday?”

Aveline’s expression remained calm. “Since it’s a birthday gift for Russ, naturally, only he needs to know.”

Rina’s face fell. This wretched woman had no respect for her!

Forcing a sweet smile, she handed the box she had brought to Russell.” Russ, this is the gift I prepared for you–a diamond mine.”

Her words hung in the air, and the room fell silent as everyone inhaled sharply, the atmosphere suddenly becoming tense.

A diamond mine!

That wasn’t the kind of gift given lightly!

As expected, Rina certainly knew how to flaunt her wealth!

Russell looked at Rina’s eager expression and sighed helplessly. “Rina, your gift is far too extravagant. I can’t accept it.”

Rina pouted. “Oh, come on! The more valuable the gift, the better, right? Just take it. It’s a birthday gift, and you can’t return it!”

With that, she shoved the box into Russell’s hands, then shot a triumphant glance at Aveline.

This woman, who couldn’t even hold her own, thought she could compare with her?

Hmph!

Russell looked down at the box. Inside was the transfer contract for the diamond mine–Rina’s own mine.

Aveline watched from the side, unable to help but marvel at the sheer extravagance. Truly, this was wealth!

She thought she was well–off with a few million in her account, but clearly, in this crowd, her money was nothing.

Silently, Aveline continued munching on some crackers.

“Cake’s here!”

At that moment, the door to the room opened, and a few people pushed in a

cake tower.

“Russ, make a wish!”

The crowd began to cheer.

Rina grabbed Russell’s arm and pulled him up. “Russ, come on, make a wish.

Russell let himself be led to the cake tower. The crowd gathered around as the candles were lit, and the room’s lights were suddenly dimmed.
