Divorced

Chapter 209 

She wanted to erase every trace of him from her life! 

On the phone, Russell chuckled lightly and then said, “Alright, wait for me. I’ll be 

there soon.” 

“Okay.” 

After hanging up, Aveline opened the app and listed her property for sale. 

About fifteen minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Aveline walked over and opened the door. Russell stood there, sporting short purple- gray hair and a roguish grin. He leaned one hand on the door frame and asked, What made you change your mind so suddenly?” 

Aveline replied, “The house is too big. I get scared living here alone.” 

Russell raised an eyebrow. “That’s your reason…?” 

He didn’t press further, though it was clear he didn’t believe her. 

Aveline smiled slightly. “Russ, take a look and see if you like it.”

Russell walked in, taking long strides as he strolled around the house. “Of course, like it, but Aveline, this house is already considered second–hand. While the location is great, it might not fetch the price you’re hoping for.” 

Aveline’s clear eyes met his. “You haven’t even asked me. How do you know what price I’m expecting?” 

Russell looked at her. “Oh? What’s your asking price?” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Pay and it’s yours.” 

Russell laughed. “Come on, don’t joke. This is a great house. I won’t let you take a loss.” 

Just then, his phone rang. He answered it, said, “Come on up,” and hung up. 

In a moment, a well–dressed man in a suit and tie appeared at the door. Adjusting his glasses, he greeted, “Mr. Skyler.” 

Russell waved him in. “Come on in.”

Turning to Aveline, he said, “He’s here to handle all the paperwork. I’ll transfer the 

1/3 

money to your account directly.” 

Aveline was surprised. “So quickly?”

Russell replied, “It’s not that quick. Your house has no issues, so once I’ve decided, I prefer to finalize the transaction swiftly. 

Aveline nodded and didn’t say more. They drafted and signed the contract on the spot, and the money was transferred. 

In less than half an hour, the house had a new owner. 

Of course, the transfer of ownership would still need to be processed, but the transaction was complete. From today onward, Aveline had no ties to the house. Her bank account now had millions of dollars. 

Aveline felt like she had suddenly become wealthy. 

She could live freely and happily now. 

This was the life she’d always wanted. So why didn’t she feel happy about it? 

Russell looked at her and said, “Congratulations! I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.” 

Aveline smiled slightly. “Sure.” 

She began to pack up her things. Russell watched her and said, “You don’t need to rush. You can pack when you buy a new place.” 

Aveline replied, “No need. I have another apartment. Since I’ve sold this one, I should move out.” 

Seeing her determination, Russell didn’t say much more and instead asked, “Is it the place where you had the incident?” 

“Yes.” Aveline nodded. 

Russell said, “I’m investigating that person, but he’s really good at spotting us. Every time we get close, he vanishes.” 

Aveline looked at him gratefully. “Russ, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I might have been dead by now.” 

Russell let out a laugh. “If you really want to thank me, how about doing something useful instead?” 

Aveline looked puzzled. “Like what?”

Russell said, “In a week, I need to attend a gala. Come with me as my date. Consider it as repayment. How about it?”
