She agreed, "Okay." Hilda sneered. "That's more like it." With that, she hung up the phone.

Do you not want to know about that item you had with you back then?" Aveline pulled her hand away. "Let's go inside first." "Yes, yes, let's go in. I've already booked a private room. I've wanted to try the food here for ages, but with so many children to look after, none of you ever made enough money to treat me." Hilda chattered non-stop as they entered the club. Once inside, she marveled at everything, acting as if she had never seen such luxury before.
Aveline remained indifferent the entire time.
In the private room, Hilda eagerly took the menu and started ordering the most expensive dishes from Celestial Heights.
Aveline remained patient. She knew Hilda's greedy nature and understood that unless Hilda felt fully satisfied, she wouldn't reveal anything.

Aveline smiled slightly. "Madam Hilda, you shouldn't bring up what you did back then. I could bash someone's head and run away then, I can certainly do it now." Hilda choked on her words, feeling a bit displeased. However, remembering what was at stake, she held back her temper and didn't lash out.
Silence fell over the room, creating an awkward atmosphere. Fortunately, the food arrived quickly.
Hilda's eyes lit up as she picked up her utensils and started eating m heartily. The food at Celestial Heights is really different from other places, so delicious." Aveline remained calm, asking, "Hasn't Juliet ever taken you here?"
Hilda glanced at her and scoffed, "Do you think everyone is like you, an unemployed nobody? Juliet is very accomplished now. Her biological parents are very wealthy, and her fiancé is also rich. She's a princess now, while you are nothing!" In Hilda's eyes, Juliet was like her own daughter, while Aveline was the child she despised the most.
