His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 276

Chapter 276

Evadne was in her office, scrutinizing the banquet plan with a seriousness that surpassed even when she organized Ada’s wedding.

Last time, her diligence was due to Ada being an important business partner. This time, it was because Myra was her family.

“Miss Evadne, you have been working too hard, pulling three all–nighters in a row. Take a break, Jason, her assistant, brought her a glass of orange juice, fearing the constant intake of coffee wouldn’t be good for her stomach.

“I can’t rest yet. The banquet hall is all set but Myra’s gown isn’t ready,” Evadne put down the files, massaging her aching temples.

At her age, most other girls would be out shopping with their besties, travelling around the world, or experiencing the bitter–sweetness of love. But all she could do was immerse herself in piles of paperwork and dry figures, leading the hotel staff, thinking about how to improve performance.

She was a strong woman, but not made of iron. Feeling tired was only human.

“Arrange something for me later. I need to visit Camille’s studio, Evadne instructed.

“Is it about finishing Myra’s gown?”

“Yes, we won’t make it in time if we don’t put in extra hours.”

Jason sighed, feeling sorry for her.

At this moment, his phone vibrated.

Cassius sent him a message on WhatsApp, the list of guests for Myra’s birthday banquet, with a note saying “pass it to Miss Evadne“.

Jason read the message. Among the first few names, the three sons of the Chambers family stood out particularly

Recalling the night when Matthew threw money at him, and the woman who vulgarly insulted Ms. Nydia, he felt a surge of anger, his eyes reddening. “Jason, is there something wrong with the list? You look strange,” Evadne, with her keen eyes, caught his micro–expression.

“Miss Evadne, there’s something. I think you need to know.”

Then, Jason recounted the incident from the night he sent Ms. Nydia back to school.

But he didn’t mention the humiliation from Matthew,

He initially wanted to handle Nydia’s trouble himself, but he realized that Matthew’s mistress was not an ordinary problem.

He was just a secretary, too weak to protect Ms. Nydia.

If that woman and Ms. Nydia were from the same school, she might have been causing trouble for Ms. Nydia for a while. He couldn’t always be there to help Ms. Nydia. So he could only ask Miss Evadne to step in and take revenge for Ms. Nydia.

Evadne furrowed her brows after hearing the story, her clear eyes filled with anger.

“She’s just a mistress of Matthew, a low–quality woman who shouldn’t even be seen in public. How dare she provoke my sister?”

Miss Evadne’s eyes widened with fury, and she.slammed the table, “She won’t get away with it!”

Jason couldn’t help but laugh.

“The reason why that wench dares to be so arrogant is that she relies on Matthew, thinking she can do whatever she wants with his backing.”

Evadne’s almond eyes flashed with a cold light, “Hmph, if she knew that behind Myra stands the whole Ashbourne family, the entire K Group, she would probably cry and kneel before my sister begging for forgiveness. I want to see then, if Mr. Chambers would dare to speak a word for her!”

“So, do you plan to deal with that mistress?” Jason asked tentatively.

“Heh, is she worthy?”

Evadne casually picked up her glass, elegantly sipping her juice, “When hitting a dog, you must consider its owner. So naturally, I should also count this debt on Matthew.”

“But Miss Evadne, Mr. Chambers might not know that the person who had a conflict with his mistress that night was our Ms. Nydia. If he knew in advance.”

Evadne raised her eyebrows, “I don’t care! I’m the kind of person who is very protective and fierce, and unreasonable. Ignorance is no excuse, not with me!“.

In the evening, Evadne didn’t let Jason follow her. She drove her car to Camille’s studio alone.

“Alea! The goddess graces my humble shop. I’m so honored!” Camille, the designer, personally greeted her mentor, not forgetting to tease her.

Camille originally thought that her mentor being the daughter of the Ashbourne family and having Haron as an alias was already impressive.

But she didn’t expect that her mentor had another alias, Alea, which was even more astonishing!

In the fashion and jewelry world, Alea and Haron are big names with great influence.

“Alright, alright, I know it was my fault for hiding my identity from you. Tell me, how can I make it up to you?” Evadne, the big boss, wrapped her arm around Camille’s slender waist.

“Your regular visits mean more to me than anything else.”

Camille pouted, “Can you not only come here when you need something?”

“Look at how you talk about me, like I’m a scumbag. I’m not that kind of person who only shows up when I need something.”

Evadne gently stroked Camille’s upturned nose, sighed helplessly, “I’m just really busy. Once I finish this, we can go on a trip, have fun for a few days, okay? I’ll cover all the expenses!”

“Yay Long live the mentor!”

Evadne didn’t have time for tea, she hurriedly walked with Camille into the studio.

in the middle of the studio, a mannequin was wearing a nearly finished red and black chiffon gown. The contrast of colors was high–class and breathtaking, radiating an eye–catching elegance.

Under the spotlights, it was gorgeous and dreamy.

Camille once again sighed in admiration, “My God. This dress should only exist in heaven, right? Even a fairy’s dress wouldn’t be this beautiful!”

“This dress has been hanging here for half a month, haven’t you seen enough?” Evadne walked up, her fingers lightly brushing the silky fabric, her eyes sparkling. “How could I ever get enough?”

Camille’s eyes sparkled with admiration for Evadne’s designs. “This top–tier silk chiffon, also known as ‘liquid gold‘, is so hard to come by! The traditional dyeing process is complex, involving three washes, nine boils, and eighteen sun drying sessions. A single piece can often take a year to complete! It’s thanks to your masterful skills that you found such exquisite fabric. The silk chiffon available on the market these days is nowhere near as vibrant or luxurious as yours. I wouldn’t be surprised if it fetches a high price at an auction!”

“This fabric is from my personal collection. I only want the best for my family.”

Evadne played with the sleeves of the garment, preparing to continue her work on the dress for Myra’s birthday party.

Below’s studio.

A black Maybach drove into the courtyard.

Gordon got out first, preparing to open the door for Mr. Thaddeus.

Seeing the La Voiture Noire, a limited–edition car, parked steadily at the entrance, he let out an exclamation.

“Mr. Thaddeus! Mrs. Abemathy is here!”

Thaddeus‘ eyes lit up instantly, and he swiftly stepped out of the car.

Indeed, it was Evadne’s car.

He remembered the sticker on her car.

A soft smile tugged at Thaddeus‘ l*ps as he thought of something. He quickly turned to the shiny car window to check his reflection and adjusted his Windsor knot. Seeing Thaddeus‘ nervousness, Gordon couldn’t help but gape. Thaddeus, who was usually so confident, seemed like a man about to go on a date with his crush. “How do I look today?” Thaddeus asked, nonchalantly.

Gordon gave a thumbs up, “Great, you look energetic!”

Thaddeus‘ face darkened. “Why just great?”

Understanding dawned on Gordon.

If Thaddeus looked well, then Mrs. Abernathy’s guilt would lessen, and so would her concern.

On the other hand, if Thaddeus looked sickly, Mrs. Abernathy would naturally feel concerned, even if she didn’t voice it.

Ah, so that was Thaddeus‘ game.

Just as they stepped through the entrance, an assistant stopped them.

“Camille is currently entertaining a VIP and doesn’t have time for other visitors. Please come back later.”

Thaddeus‘ countenance turned serious. “Is the VIP Camille’s master?”

The assistant was surprised. “How do you know?”

“Because I am here for her.”

Thaddeus squinted, “I am Ms. Evadne’s husband. A husband should not be stopped from seeing his wife, right?”

The assistant frowned, “Mr. Thaddeus, do you think I am blind or do not recognize you? If I remember correctly, a few months ago, your fiancée Acacia ordered a dress from us. She even announced her engagement to you at her birthday party. It was a grand affair, known to all.“”

Hearing Acacia’s name, Thaddeus tensed, feeling unwell.

“Just a few months have passed since then, and now you are claiming that Camille’s master is your wife? That’s a bit too presumptuous, don’t you think?” Thaddeus was about to explain when a sharp voice echoed from above.

“Thaddeus! What did you just say? Who is your wife?”

Camille ran down the stairs, eyes wide with disbelief.

“Your master, the heiress of the Ashbourne family, Miss Evadne, was my wife.”

Thaddeus paused, then added softly, “Once.”

“OMG.”

Camille was taken aback but still couldn’t believe it. “You better not be spreading rumors or trying to ride on my master’s coattails. We won’t hesitate to sue for defamation!”

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask your master. She will tell you the truth.” Thaddeus maintained his composure.

“It’s impossible. I don’t understand! My master is neither blind nor stupid. Why would she be interested in you? Only shallow women like Acacia would fall for a shameless man like you!”

Thaddeus pressed his l*ps together, feeling embarrassed.

Why did Evadne like him?

Even though he had saved her life thirteen years ago, she was only eleven then. Could such a young girl decide to devote herself to him when she grew up? It was indeed hard to explain.

“You’re right, Thaddeus is my ex–husband.”

All three turned to look at the second floor.

Evadne, dressed in a white silk shirt and black trousers, leaned on the railing, her eyes filled with amusement as she looked down at them.

“Forgive me. Everyone makes mistakes. Who hasn’t married the wrong person?”
