His Ex wife is a billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) Novel Full Episode
His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 98
Chapter 98 “Are you kidding me!” Acacia was angry, her smile stiffening. “I bought this painting from the auction at the Jareth group. How could it be fake?!” This implicated that the Jareth Group had been dragged into it. Jareth couldn’t help but sneer, “Ms. Acacia, you seem to be unfamiliar with auctions, aren’t you? Parkray Auction, under the Jareth group, is the largest in the country. The items auctioned go through strict evaluations, there’s no way a forgery would sl*p through. You may not know much about art, but don’t try to tarnish the reputation of the Jareth group.” Thaddeus’s gaze darkened. He remembered at the charity auction, when Ilana persuaded Acacia to buy this fake painting for ten times its price, her l*ps curving up slightly in a mysterious smile. Could it be that Ilana foresaw Acacia gifting this painting to Mr. Hamilton? Was this a coincidence, or was Ilana setting a trap for Acacia from the start? “Ms. Acacia, there’s a difference between a forgery and a replica.” An art expert stepped up to defend the Jareth group, “Some paintings may be replicas, but they’re original works. For example, many artists copy famous paintings. You can’t say those are forgeries, right? If a replica is expertly made and looks very real, that’s also very difficult, so top-quality replicas can also fetch high prices.

However… yours is a little sub-par, otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed the issue right away.”
“It can’t be a replica… How can it be a replica?! I bought this for a million from Parkray Auction!” Acacia’s face paled in panic! A million! How could she have spent so much money on a fake? Was she an idiot? Laughter broke out around her. Glynnis had to cover her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud. What a spectacle! “A million? This painting is worth about a hundred thousand at most. You’ve really made a significant contribution to charity by buying it at such a high price.” Acacia felt like the room was spinning. Elspeth was so embarra**ed she turned away, having no intention of defending the hapless Ms. Acacia. “Never mind the value, this is a gift from Ms. Acacia.” Hamilton may not think highly of Acacia, but he was an elder, and wouldn’t nitpick over a painting. “Mr. Murray, take the painting.”
Suddenly, Acacia’s eyes welled up with tears. She turned to Evadne and asked angrily, “Ilana! What grudge do you have against me? Why are you doing this to me?!” From the start of the birthday party, she had been ridiculed and mistreated. Now, she couldn’t hold back anymore. Everyone turned to look at Evadne in surprise. Evadne frowned and blinked innocently, “I’m hurting you? Ms. Acacia, what are you talking about? I really have no idea what you mean.” Cas sius and Jareth were both shocked. Was this the proverbial fighting fire with fire? “It’s your trap! Otherwise, how could I have bought this replica for a million? It’s all your fault!” Acacia pointed at Evadne’s innocent face, her voice h oa rse from yelling, “I may not know how to identify art, but you must’ve known there was something wrong with this painting! Even so, you infiated the price and made me buy it! How could you?!” Thaddeus’s l*ps were pressed together in a thin line, his cold gaze fixed on Evadne, his eyes full of ice. “What are you talking about? When did I ever persuade you?” Evadne looked genuinely innocent, as if she were the one who was scared. “Ms. Acacia, auctions are public. Everyone can bid freely. Could Ilana force you to buy it if you didn’t want to? Wasn’t it all your own doing?”
Cas sius quickly stepped in to protect Evadne, with a hint of mischief in his smile. “When Ilana saw I wanted the painting, she deliberately bid against me! Every time I bid, she followed! She forced the price from a hundred thousand to nine hundred thousand! And when I bid a million, she suddenly stopped. Isn’t this behavior meant to trick me into buying the fake at a high price?!” Acacia demanded angrily. “Ms. Acacia, you need to understand, this isn’t a forgery, it’s a replica, there’s a difference!” Jareth couldn’t help but interject. “If Ilana really wanted the painting, why didn’t she bid against me? She just wanted to set me up!” Acacia was frustrated. The crowd’s expressions became more complicated. “Could it be that Ms. Ilana is trying to get back at Ms. Acacia because she can’t get over her divorce from Mr. Thaddeus?” “That’s unlikely. They’re already divorced, what’s the point? It’ll just make Ms. Ilana look petty.” “How is there no point? That’s Mr. Thaddeus, a real catch! Ms. Ilana must be heartbroken to have lost him!”

“Appearances are deceiving! Women, even the smart ones, only play petty tricks on men!” The surrounding criticism made Acacia feel very satisfied! “Ms. Ilana, did you really do this?” Frederic frowned, looking seriously at Evadne. Hamilton looked at Evadne, also waiting for her answer. ‘Ms. Acacia, you’ve totally got me wrong.” Evadne stepped forward, her already beautiful face full of hurt, making her look even more pitiful. “I was the first to bid on that painting. You only started bidding after you saw me. I love the painting and wanted to contribute to charity, so I bid high from the beginning to secure it. Mr. Thaddeus and Mr. Jareth, who were there, can testify to this for me.” Talk about a plot twist! “Ilana, you…” Acacia was too livid to speak. “I can vouch for that!” Jareth jumped in to defend his lady love. “It was indeed Ms. Ilana who bid first, then Ms. Acacia followed suit. Ms. Ilana intended to buy the painting, so it should belong to her.” 1/2 16:46 Chapter 98 Thaddeus shot Jareth a chilling glance. This guy’s everywhere!
“I planned to buy the painting to keep it, as I have the original in my study at home. I love it so much that even a replica would do. Every time I look at it, it reminds me of the times spent with my family.” Evadne bit her l*p and lowered her head in resignation, “True, Ms. Acacia also wanted the painting. We had several rounds of bidding, but in the end, I decided to stick to my principle of not sna tching others’ things and gave up… I don’t understand what I did wrong, Ms. Acacia. Why do you question me like this… If you feel wronged, I can pay for the painting to make up for your loss.” The situation changed in an instant! Evadne’s eyes were clear as water, shimmering as if holding back tears. Her performance was convincing! Thaddeus watched her bright eyes quietly, feeling a chill in his heart. He just watched her, watched her put on a show! “What are you talking about.” Acacia’s face was so red it looked like it was about to explode. Elspeth rushed over and gave Acacia a pinch. The pain made Acacia speechless, almost causing a scene! “Haha… It’s all a misunderstanding. Mr. Hamiltion, Acacia rarely goes out and seldom attends such events. She just followed others to bid. She just wanted to show her filial piety to you…” Elspeth shot Acacia a stern look, “Mrs. Stirling just called you about an urgent matter. Call her back now, don’t keep her waiting, hurry.” Acacia gritted her teeth and beat a hasty retreat. After a moment of silence, Hamiltion took Evadne’s hand and said, “If you like the painting. Just tell me. How could I not give you what you want? I’d give you anything as long as you like it!” “Thank you, Mr. Hamiltion, your love is more than enough. I want for nothing, need nothing.” Evadne gently squeezed Mr. Hamiltion’s hand and smiled sweetly. Now everyone finally understood. Mr. Thaddeus did divorce Ms. Ilana. But it seems they’re not entirely out of each other’s lives! As for Ms. Acacia, it seems her hopes have been dashed!
