His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 197

Chapter 197

Not just Edith and Glynnis, even Alvin’s friend and Alea’s crazy fan, Ada, didn’t see it coming.

The jewels Evadne was wearing were actually designed by Alea! And it was the ‘Everose‘ that she had only heard of but never seen!

She felt envious at that moment!

Evadne kept her cool and looked at Alvin with grateful eyes.

She knew she didn’t need to say much. This was Alvin’s territory and he would deal with those with ulterior motives.

Thaddeus’s gaze never left Evadne and a slight blush appeared in his eyes.

He was sure that Evadne knew this man and their relationship was very deep..

“Who’s that old guy?” Thaddeus asked coldly.

“Alvin, the CEO of Aurora Adornments. His grandfather was the last duke of Aetheria and his grandmother was the founder of Aurora Adornments. In short, this jewelry brand belongs to their family.”

Gordon added, “And Alvin has already inherited the dukedom. He has a large estate given by the royal family, and is one of the top five richest people in Aetheria. It’s amazing that Mrs. Abernathy knows such a noble!”

Thaddeus took a deep breath, his throat quivered, and he clenched his fist in dissatisfaction.

“Did Alvin actually stand up for Mrs. Abernathy? Wow, does he fancy Mrs. Abernathy?”

Gordon was like discovering a new world, “If Alvin really fancies Mrs. Abernathy, wouldn’t she be in line to become a duchess? She’s already the daughter of a tycoon and tied to the royal family. My god, Mrs. Abernathy is really hitting the peak of her life!”

“That’s impossible. Alvin could be her father with his age. She wouldn’t fancy him.” Thaddeus looked serious and categorically said.

Gordon’s gossip heart ignited, and he got more excited, “I don’t think so, Mrs. Abernathy may like mature and stable men. Otherwise, why did you catch her eye in the first place? You’re six years older than her.”

Thaddeus’s eyes were like a sharp blade, sweeping over Gordon coldly like an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

There’s a difference between a six–year age gap and a twenty–plus–year age gap.

Gordon was scared and broke out in a cold sweat. He pinched his l*ps with his left hand and made a zipper gesture with his right hand. His expression was funny and pathetic.

These teasing words were like flying knives stabbing into Thaddeus’s heart.

He no longer blamed her for her repeated lies.

He started to wonder why there were so many outstanding men around her, he felt like he was being left in the dust!

“My god! The CEO of a top international luxury jewelry brand actually admits in public that his product was inspired by Alea’s work? Isn’t this embarrassing himself?”

“I don’t agree with that. I think Mr. Alvin is very honest. And he didn’t say it was a copy, he just said he got the inspiration from Alea’s work.”

“We did indeed copy.”

Hearing the reporters‘ discussion, Alvin immediately admitted, “Alea is aware of this, I have communicated with her privately, the ‘Preserved Flower” jewelry series is authorized by Alea, and she participated in the design.”

People were surprised.

And Edith’s proud expression had become stiff.

“So, I’m delighted that Ms. Evadne could wear Alea’s jewelry to our event.” Alvin glanced at Evadne subconsciously, but quickly looked away. “There’s one more thing that Ms. Edith might not know.” Evadne finally spoke slowly with a smile, “Aurora Adornments and Alea have maintained a good cooperative relationship for many years, and there is an unwritten rule among Aurora Adornments‘ internal members: as long as you are wearing Alea’s jewelry, you can freely participate in any Aurora Adornments‘ event and will be seated in the VIP area. Furthermore, Aurora Adornments provides free maintenance and care services for a lifetime to customers who own Alea’s jewelry. Ms. Edith, as a fan of Aurora Adornments, don’t you know these?”

Edith’s face immédiately turned pale and she was speechless!

Although she owned some Aurora Adornments jewelry, the membership threshold was high, requiring a certain amount of consumption each year and an assessment of the member’s financial background. She couldn’t get into the membership club at all.

So, she didn’t know this rule!

Glynnis quickly stepped back to keep their distance, not wanting to be as embarrassed as Edith.

The reporters suddenly realized, and their gazes towards Edith became strange!

“So, Ms. Edith is actually accusing others here. How ridiculous!”

“Why does she care so much about others? She should take care of her own affairs!”

“She thought she had the right to comment just because she bought a few pieces of jewelry. She spoke out in front of the CEO, who didn’t know who she was from beginning to end. Oh my, she can’t even compare to Ms. Evadne’s toe!”

Toe?

These media people actually said she was not even comparable to Evadne’s toe?

Edith’s head was buzzing. She was so angry that her vision went dark and almost fainted!

This was the first time she had been so humiliated!

Evadne didn’t look at Edith again. She turned around and left happily with Alvin and Ada.

The reporters also followed them, leaving Edith alone there. Her face was as pale as if she had been frightened.

“Edith, we’re in trouble!”

Glynnis walked up to her quickly, pulled her arm and said in a low and nervous voice, “My brother is here!”

“Where is he?” Edith broke out in a cold sweat out of guilt.

“Just behind us, not too far away. He’s been watching our every move. He arrived without a peep. I had no idea when he got here, or what he saw.”

Edith was so scared. She sucked in a breath and stiffly turned her head.

In the shadows, Thaddeus stood like a sword on a cliff top, firm and intimidating in the corner, coldly staring at her.

At that moment, Edith felt as if an invisible hand was choking her n*eck.

She could hardly breathe or hear her heartbeat!

“Thaddeus.”

Thaddeus frowned, his eyes cold and merciless. He just shook his head, and without looking back, he left with Gordon.

Edith was sweating profusely, stumbling backward.

Just now, Thaddeus’s stare felt like a sharp pair of scissors, as if he was cutting off their relationship decisively.

In the restroom.

“Damn it! Bastard! Why won’t that b*tch just die? She should be hit by a car!”

Edith covered her face and sobbed, her delicate makeup smeared, black eyeliner streaking, sparkles all over her face.

She was crying not only because of the humiliation and sarcasm from Evadne at the scene, but also because Thaddeus caught her messing with Evadne, and she had no way to explain!

“Exactly! It’s so unfair. How can she still be alive?” Glynnis also complained with her, a smug smile curling up at the corner of her mouth.

“You just watched me get humiliated? Didn’t you say anything to help me?” Edith said unhappily to Glynnis.

‘I’m not good with words and I couldn’t get a word in. You’ve been the one with the plan from the start. If I had a way, I would’ve dealt with Evadne already. Why would I wait till now?” Glynnis hastily explained.

Edith sniffled a couple of times, bitterly asking, “Any news from Caroline yet? Has she found a breakthrough yet? She’s so useless!”

Don’t rush. Haste makes waste. That woman hates Evadne so much. She’ll definitely do her best to help us.”

Before her voice fell, Glynnis’s phone suddenly vibrated.

She took a look and immediately revealed a wicked smile. She waved the phone in front of Edith, “Just as we were talking about her, it’s a call from Caroline!”

Edith gritted her teeth angrily, “This time, I’m gonna make Evadne taste the bitterness of failure. I’m gonna make all her efforts go to waste. Let’s see what she can do!”
