His Ex wife is a billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) Novel Full Episode

Chapter 442

The arrival of the Morris family added a subtle edge to the atmosphere.

Frederic and the folks from the Fairhaven estate were quite warm towards them. Though both were from well–to–do families, there was no need to brown– nose, but their cordiality was markedly warmer compared to their attitude towards others.

Only Thaddeus sat aloof and handsome as a statue by Frederic’s side, his gaze heavy with unspoken passion as he stared unwaveringly at the love of his life.

At that moment, Emeric was Winding something to his daughter Evadne, the pair deep in serious conversation, the young woman listening intently, oblivious to the burning gaze that nearly bore holes into her.

Suddenly, Thaddeus’s chiseled face darkened like a storm cloud passing overhead.

Avery had just lifted his champagne fiute, leaning forward and completely blocking his line of sight.

The next second, he slowly turned to face him, a teasing smirk on his l*ps as he raised his glass in a mock toast.

Thaddeus felt as if his blood had turned to ice in his veins, his face casting deep shadows as he clenched the stem of his wine glass so tightly it might snap!

Avery arched an eyebrow, lazily sipping his drink, his expression and smile nothing but provocative!

CRACK-

Thaddeus’s breath caught, and he crushed the stem of the glass, which fell to the fioor, drenching him in champagne.

“Oops! Thad, you’ve stained your shirt!” Edith’s attention was entirely on Thaddeus. She sprang up like a jack–in–the–box and rushed to his side.

Then, to everyone’s shock, she knelt down and began to dab at the wet spots on Thaddeus’s trousers with her handkerchief!

The crowd was speechless.

This was a bit too much, wasn’t it? The Fairhaven heiress demeaning herself like this?

Barry and Mrs. Fairhaven were livid, their faces turning an ashen hue. Gary, seeing his niece made a spectacle of, felt no shame but rather seemed amused, barely containing his laughter.

And this chuckle was caught by Jareth, his beautiful eyes narrowing.

But he didn’t plan to intervene. In his eyes, Thaddeus should seize the opportunity to let Edith make a fool of herself, hopefully teaching her a lesson to never again covet a taken man!

“Jareth.” Marilla tugged at his sleeve and called out softly.

–“Hmm? What is it?” Jareth asked gently, looking down.

“I don’t know why, but looking at your uncle Gary, it just feels uncomfortable, Marilla confessed, her candid nature unable to hide her thoughts.

Though she spoke softly, Gary’s ears perked up, catching snippets of the conversation.

“Then stop looking at him. Too much trash can hurt your eyes, Jareth wrapped an arm around his petite wife’s waist, raising his voice on purpose.

Gary felt a surge of anger but couldn’t show his irritation without seeming petty for eavesdropping on a young couple’s conversation.

“Hmm,” Marilla quickly shut her eyes, her expression adorably earnest.

Jareth’s hand affectionately ruffied her hair, then he leaned in to k*ss her cheek, “In the future, we’ll have lots of beautiful babies. Too much trash can affect the kids‘ looks.”

Blushing, Marilla’s heart fiuttered, her cheeks blooming with a rosy glow.

Gary choked on his drink, his face turning beet red!

Evadne watched Edith attempting to touch her man and felt a surge of anger. She leaned forward slightly.

She wasn’t really going to make a scene; she wasn’t that shameless.

She was just momentarily overwhelmed, her b*dy reacting on its own.

“Evadne, what are you doing?” Emeric asked sternly.

“You’re not planning to emulate Edith, are you? Making a spectacle of yourself over some man, like some street brawler? Are you as lowly as that girl? Don’t disappoint me, don’t disgrace the Ashbourne name!”

Evadne bit her l*p hard, her rosy l*ps turning white from the pressure!

Avery heard everything, his l*ps curling darkly as he leisurely sipped his champagne.

Just as Edith’s hand nearly touched Thaddeus, he stood abruptly, a chilling aura swirling around him.

“Ah!” Edith stumbled and fell to the ground in a clumsy heap!

Bodyguards scrambled to help her up. Those in the back who hadn’t noticed were now fully aware, and Edith’s embarrassment was complete. “Ms. Fairhaven, please conduct yourself with dignity,” Thaddeus said icily, his voice hanging over her like the threat of a thunderbolt ready to strike.

Evadne smiled secretly, a sweet satisfaction in her heart.

There was probably no other man in the world who could give her the security Thaddeus did.

The crowd struggled to contain their laughter, making Edith’s humiliation burn even hotter!

Barry was exasperated but couldn’t confront Thaddeus. After all, it was his granddaughter who had been shamelessly throwing herself at him, in full view of everyone.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. The Fairhaven’s upbringing really leaves much to be desired. Had it been my daughter, I’d have disciplined her ten times a day,” Jeff muttered under his breath, sitting next to Emeric, “Evadne’s so graceful. How can those nouveau riche Fairhaven girls even compare to a lady like Evadne?”

“Hmph, lady? Don’t fiatter her. She’s nothing but a wild monkey,” Emeric glanced at his daughter, “Do you remember how many times we had to replace the windows because of her when she was a child?”

Evadne pouted at Emeric, annoyed that he was bringing up such old stories just to tease her

“Hey! Not a monkey, she’s spirited! I’ve always liked that Evadne was different from the rest. She’s my kind of girl! Just a few shards of glass? If it makes Evadne happy, I’d say we could bulldoze the whole house and build anew!” Jeff was the epitome of a doting father–in–law, finding his daughter–in–law absolutely delightful in every way.

Thaddeus momentarily excused himself, following Gordon to change his attire.

Meanwhile, Elspeth was curled up, unable to straighten her back, her legs tightly clamped together, her b*dy quivering with tremors.

Things were looking grim. She was enduring excruciating pain, thankfully having drunk little water, or else it would have been a catastrophic fiood!

From the moment Evadne had entered the venue, she had been discreetly observing Elspeth.

Indeed, everything was unfolding as Victor had predicted. Such lengthy outdoor events were proving to be a significant strain on this woman’s physical condition.

Evadne’s eyes twinkled mischievously as she suddenly stood up with a champagne glass in hand and addressed the gathering.

“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a pleasure to be here with you all, celebrating this splendid occasion. Today, not only have I had the honor of meeting esteemed elders and dear friends, but also legends of the corporate world, like Mr. Morris and Mr. Ford. It’s a delightful surprise and an utmost privilege.”

With a charming smile, Evadne raised her glass to William and his son, “I’d like to toast to these two gentlemen, welcoming them to Elmsworth.” As she finished her toast, her red l*ps met the rim of her glass, and she tilted back her graceful neck to drink the bubbly champagne with elegance and poise.

Among all the women from the great families, and perhaps in the entire nation, Evadne shone brightly like a pearl in the sea.

From the moment she had appeared, Junior Morris had been utterly captivated by this beautiful and noble woman, unable to shift his gaze away from her striking features.

“Pfft, showing off for what?” Glynnis sneered at Evadne, muttering with contempt, “Who do you think you are, playing hostess to the big shots like they even know which cabbage patch you sprouted from!”

Before she could finish her thought, William nodded approvingly, raised his glass to Evadne, and said in a cheerful tone, “Alea, I had no idea you were the daughter of the K Group’s chairman. You’ve truly surprised me. We’ve met before, there’s no need for formalities.”

The crowd was astounded!

Frederic’s pupils dilated in shock. He had not expected Evadne to have personal connections with the nation’s top business moguls!

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

When Evadne had married into the Abernathy family, she had hidden her true identity, never fiaunting her capabilities, nor had she ever assisted them.or

his son.

Now, not only was she repeatedly causing trouble for the Abernathy Group, but she had also transformed, glowing with a newfound brilliance, no longer hesitant to display her talents.

Was she playing them for fools? Not even displaying the basic courtesy of transparency!

“Mr. Morris, I’m touched that you remember me,” Evadne said with a warm smile.

Ford looked at his father in amazement, “You mean this lady is the renowned jewelry designer Alea? When did you meet her? I had no idea!”

“Two years ago, for your mother’s birthday, I wanted to gift her a blue diamond necklace and after some searching, I was referred to Miss Alea. She personally crafted your mother’s birthday present,” William explained with a smile.

“Oh! The necklace that my mother wears to every important event? She loves it!”

“Yes, that’s the one.”

William nodded, then turned to Evadne, “I’m truly grateful to you, Alea.”

“It’s an honor for the necklace that your mother enjoys it,” Evadne replied with neither arrogance nor false modesty, her demeanor gracious and her smile pleasing to the eye.

Emeric watched with a subtle, satisfied smile. His girl was usually as wild as an untamed filly, seemingly indifferent to the world around her, but when it mattered, she never missed a beat, adept in all situations, a person capable of great things.

Edith and Glynnis looked on as Evadne once again garnered intense attention, their envy turning their eyes red, but they were powerless to do anything.

In the presence of true genius, their machinations were nothing but dust in the wind.

Caged canaries could never compete with the resplendent phoenix!

“Ms. Evadne, it’s a pleasure to meet you!”

Ford boldly approached Evadne, his gaze fervent, his admiration and infatuation clear as day, “Our meeting here must mean our fates are intertwined.

Why don’t we toast to this serendipity?”

Evadne’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold laugh echoing in her heart.

Avery’s expression darkened, his patience wearing thin with the young man. He was about to rise and intercept the unwanted advance.

But before he could act, a figure of cool detachment stepped in front of Evadne, blocking her path.

It was Thaddeus!

Avery’s handsome face tightened, his eyes fixated on Thaddeus’s impassive expression, a chill permeating his gaze.

“Thad.” Evadne’s heart warmed as she looked upon his tall silhouette.

“To be gathered here isn’t just the fate of Mr. Ford and Ms. Evadne, but also signifies that we all share a connection,” Thaddeus said, signaling to a waiter who promptly presented him with champagne.

He lifted the glass, barely curling his l*ps into a smile that failed to reach his eyes, “Ms. Evadne is a lady and not accustomed to strong drink. Mr. Ford, if you don’t mind, allow me to share this toast with you on her behalf. Would that be agreeable?”
