His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 185

Over at the Abernathy Group, the party was still in full swing.

Chapter 185

But the mood had noticeably cooled down since Ada was whisked away by Evadne.

Initially, Edith had dressed to the nines, hoping to showcase her talent in front of the international superstar and stroke her own ego. But with Ada gone, there was no chance for her to perform anymore. All her preparations had gone to waste

All because of that sly fox, Evadne!

Outside the banquet h. Thaddeus stood tall and straight by the French windows with icy cold aura

He kept his eyes on the direction where the Rolls Royce had disappeared, his breathing heavy and his fists clenched

Mr Thaddeus, I hate to say it but I think we’ve been played by Ms Evadne, Gordon said, wiping his sweat nervously. The trending topics are all about the K Group now We’re nowhere to be found. And the news of Ms Evadne taking Ada away publicly has spread like wildfire, even the chairman knows about it. People are doubting our capability and questioning the overall quality of our hotel.”

By the end of his report Gordon was sweating buckets.

This was a foreseeable outcome. When Evadne struck, she left no breathing room for her opponent.

Thaddeus stared at the direction where the Rolls–Royce lights had long disappeared, his voice hoarse, “When did you switch your address for her? Weren’t you always calling her Mrs. Abemathy?”

Gordon took a sharp breath in, “As long as she doesn’t mess with you, she’s Mrs. Abernathy. If she does, she’s Ms. Evadne.”

It’s just a name, call her what you want.”

Thaddeus took a deep breath, his eyes darkening. “And I’m not angry. Ms. Evadne has always been like this, hasn’t she?”

Gordon was taken aback. Every time Thaddeus competed with Mrs. Abernathy, he was gritting his teeth. And now, with such a big incident, wasn’t he even angry?

Could it be he enjoy being tormented?

“But how could Evadne get in? This party requires an invitation for each guest, and the hotel security is very strict,” Thaddeus couldn’t help but be curious.

Gordon said there was a brief glitch in the security system before Mrs. Abernathy came in. But the hotel’s network equipment was just serviced a few days ago, it couldn’t have broken down this quickly. They suspected hacker interference or a virus.

A hacker? Thaddeus frowned.

Could this also be Evadne’s doing? Was she capable of this?

Or did one of her brothers help her again?

Thad!”

A soft sweet voice called out, disrupting Thaddeus’s thoughts.

Hearing Edith running over, Thaddeus frowned even deeper. He didn’t even want to turn around and face her.

“Evadne’s behaviour was totally out of line! She took Ada away right in front of you. It’s like she was publicly humiliating you. She doesn’t take you seriously at all!” Edith stomped her foot, seizing the opportunity to badmouth Evadne.

She knew men were very concerned about their dignity, especially a high–ranking man like Thaddeus. He wouldn’t tolerate anyone challenging his authority and making him lose face!

However, the next moment, Thaddeus’s response made her face turn pale instantly.

“You’ve just met her, so you don’t know her yet. Ms. Evadne has always been like this, never taking me seriously.”

Thad, what are you saying?”

“But what’s the big deal? I don’t care.”

Thaddeus coldly turned his gaze to Edith with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, “On the other hand, Ms. Edith, your behavior tonight baffles me.”

The address of “Ms. Edith” was like a dagger stabbing into Edith’s heart, causing her immense pain..

Thad was so distant towards her!

Was he trying to draw a line with her?

“This is the Abernathy Group’s party, and I’m personally present. You shouldn’t have represented the Abernathy Group.”

“But I was just trying to help you!”

Edith was so anxious that her voice turned shrill. She tightly grasped Thaddeus’s arm, “So you would just let that wicked woman flaunt at your party? Let her take away your esteemed guest, turning the Abernathy group into the laughing stock of Elmsworth? She’s too much! What makes her so arrogant? Is it because she’s your ex–wife?*

Realizing what she just said, Edith was startled.

Sure enough, Thaddeus frowned, a trace of chilliness flashing across his stern face, “Who told you that Evadne is my ex–wife?”

“My brother told me!” Edith lied through her teeth.

“So it was Glynnis who told you, huh?”

Edith bit her l*p hard.

“What happened between Evadne and me is my personal business. No one has the right to intervene. She has started a new life, so stop discussing our matters.”

Edith’s heart pounded, resentment welling up within.

He was clearly defending Evadne, protecting her privacy!

“Ada is gone. If you don’t want to perform for the guests tonight, I can take you back to the Fairhaven family anytime.”

Thaddeus took his eyes off Edith’s pale face, pulled his arm away, and left without looking back

Gordon chuckled softly, sneaking a glance at Edith.

He was wondering, was this loose–l*pped girl really Mr. Jareth’s biological sister?

Her behavior was quite inappropriate.

“Thad Thaddeus!

At first, Thaddeus didn’t stop. It was only when Edith called out his name that he halted.

Do you defend Evadne because you love her? Do you still have feelings for her?” Edith’s voice was shaking with anger.

“No, I don’t love her.” Thaddeus answered directly

It seemed like if he was just a second late, some deep–seated emotions that he himself hadn’t noticed would be exposed.

“Why on earth are you supporting her? Not only does she not love you, but she also toys with you, robs you of your things, and ruins the party you’ve meticulously prepared! She’s a wicked woman. She’s hurting you. Why do you still want to help her?” Edith became more and more agitated as she spoke, her tone even losing control towards the end

She wasn’t as good at disguising herself as Acacia was. As the heiress of the Fairhaven family, she was spoiled from childhood, and everything she wanted was always within her reach. So she was always blunt and did whatever she wanted.

But now, she was tasting defeat for the first time.

She found that the more she tried to get close to Thaddeus, the more he would keep retreating, growing further and further away from her.

He turned around and looked at Edith with a cold and almost heartless gaze that made her b*dy freeze in an instant.

“Ms. Edith, having never been married, you may not understand the emotions between a couple. After all, she used to be my wife. Is there anything wrong with my tolerance towards her?”

Edith felt like she had been struck by lightning, her face pale with embarra**ment,

“Even if I don’t love her, she was once my woman. The only person who has the right to judge her is me, everyone else has no say in this.”

The night sky began to drizzle.

Marilla sneaked out of Windermere Estate, holding a small bear in her arms. She braved the wind and rain for a long while before finally hailing a taxi.

She finally arrived at Abernathy Hotel, and her white cotton dress was completely soaked.

But the little bear in her arms remained dry, untouched by the rain.

Plagued by social anxiety, she didn’t dare to enter through the front door, instead sl*pping into her own hotel through the back door.

She crouched down, her wet eyelashes hanging low, avoiding all the gorgeously dressed guests, and scurrying through the corridors.

“Halt!”

Marilla suddenly stopped, her heart pounding.

Despite being the daughter of the Abernathy family, she felt like a thief.

Two patrolling b*dyguards approached, looking down on Marilla with disdain when they saw her disheveled appearance and plain clothes, showing contempt. “We have an important party tonight. Please keep your distance!”

“I want to see Ada. Let me have a look at her, just one look and I’ll leave!” Marilla pleaded.

“No can do! No invitation, no entry. Leave immediately!” The b*dyguard was adamant, already ushering her away.

“Do you see where this is? Is this a place for poor students like you? Get out!”

Marilla really liked Ada. She was naturally stubborn, and no matter how difficult it was, she would complete what she set out to do!

So, she gritted her teeth, took a few steps back with the little bear in her hand, and charged at the b*dyguard!

“Ah!”

As a result, the frail Marilla was grabbed by the burly b*dyguard by the arm, then harshly flung away with her bear!

She closed her eyes in fear, but instead of falling to the ground, she landed securely and accurately into a solid and familiar embrace.
