His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

pter 300

Evadne and Jason packed up getting ready to head back to Elmsworth with the medicine Suri had

given them

“Evadne, are you in a hurry? Why don’t you stay for dinner? It’s almost ready” Myra, donning an apron,

rushed over

“No need, Myra. I need to get back”

Evadne moved forward, her hands lifting Myra’s smoke streaked face, inspecting it from side to side,

“Myra, your birthday is coming up. Take a break for a couple of days and forget about all this work. You

should be focusing on pampering yourself, you know? You need to be the most beautiful birthday girl

this weekend!”

“Oh, birthdays. I don’t even want to celebrate. Thinking about entertaining so many people on Sunday

just makes me feel exhausted”

Myra sighed heavily, ‘It’s just to keep your father happy”

“It’s not you keeping my father happy. It’s my father keeping you happy. No, it’s all of us who want to

celebrate your birthday”

Evadne’s beautiful eyes flashed a hint of resentment, “Listen to me, no more overworking yourself. I

have quite a few informants at home and if you don’t behave, they’ll report to me- If I get angry, I won’t

be giving you any birthday gifts at your party and will just take advantage of the free food and drinks,

hmm.” Jason just chuckled at the side.

He thought, “Evadne’s pretend–angry look, her perky nose and pouty lips, was just too adorable”

Myra’s beautiful face broke into a gentle smile, lightly pinching Evadne’s cheek, “What birthday gift in

this world could be more beautiful than having a family?”

She was an orphan, grew up in an orphanage, and accidentally entered the entertainment industry

after being discovered by a talent scout while performing in a drama troupe. As one of Emeric’s lovers,

she didn’t have Sun’s noble upbringing or Aviana’s formidable father

She always felt inferior, thinking she wasn’t worthy of Emeric, let alone this family.

Evadne was choked up.

She suddenly wished she could follow in her father’s footsteps and have so many boys around her.

Too bad there were plenty of good women, but good men were rare. She feared that the family would

eventually become a junkyard, which would be no fun at all.

“Evadne”

A serious yet magnetic voice came.

Evadne hastily turned around to see Cassius dressed in a priest’s black robe, holding a Bible in his left

hand, and descending from the white marble staircase. “Cassius”

“Evadne, don’t rush off. There are a few things I want to discuss with you”

In the tea room, Cassius personally made tea for his sister. The fragrance filled the room, whetting

one’s appetite.

Evadne propped her cheek on her hand, watching Cassius skillfully perform the tea ceremony. He was

so elegant, just like a prince

What kind of woman could possibly be worthy of Cassius? It was really hard!

“Evadne, are you really interested in Avery? Cassius pushed the tea cup gently towards her, asking in

a calm tone.

“Eh? Evadne was startled, almost dropping the cup in her hand.

Tm serious”

“No, absolutely, not, at, all” Evadne emphatically shook her head.

“Then you should keep your distance from him in the future.” Cassius elegantly sipped his tea

“Uh, he’s the one who insists on seeking me out. I’m not the one getting close to him.”

“So you neither accept nor reject him? Are you playing him? Cassius asked gently.

“What are you talking about, Cassius? Since when did I become a player? That’s not how you should

talk about your own sister Evadne’s fair face flushed with anger. “Evadne, if you don’t like him, make it

clear to him. You’re giving Avery false hopes and the impression that he can pursue you.”

Cassius paused, lowering his voice, “Also, Avery is much more cunning than what we see on the

surface. It’s like an iceberg, you can only see one eighth of it. He left his home fifteen years ago and

suddenly came back from Helgen, then suddenly got close to you. Evadne, you are the heiress of the

Ashbourne family. The whole K Group will be yours in the future. You are more of a princess and a

queen than anyone else. You’re just low–profile. Otherwise, you would surely be the dream girl of every

man in the country I don’t believe that Avery is 100 percent sincere about you. I don’t believe he

doesn’t have any ulterior motives”

He continued. “To be frank, in my eyes, Avery is to some extent even worse than Thaddeus.”

“Cassius” Evadne’s heart trembled, gripping the cup hard

“At least, Thaddeus is completely devoted to the woman he likes, with no hidden agenda”

“Huh, indeed He was so devoted to Acacia”

Evadne forcefully put down her cup, her eyes brimming with tears, “He even joined the army to die in

the battlefield because Acacia dumped him!”

“But he also naked his life for you, didn’t he? He sustained injuries that haven’t healed fully even now.

Who knows if there will be any after–effects in the future”

Evadne’s heart trembled even more, her expression gloomy “That’s not the same.”

“Evadne, it wasn’t your fault that you once loved Thaddeus You didn’t choose the wrong person, nor

were you blind. All of his flaws, including the fact that he didn’t love you, were presented to you from

the beginning It was cruel, but it was also straightforward”

Cassius sighed deeply leaning forward and gently holding her slightly cold hand, “Most importantly,

Thaddeus never lied to you. The person who loves you can have many flaws but they should never be

dishonest to you”

Evadne’s pupils thrank, and the lowered her bead in melancholy

After saying goodbye to her family, Evadne and Jason headed back to Elmsworth

Just as they were about to take the highway ext, Evadne suddenly said softly “Go to Windermere

Estate”

Jason frowned, yet he responded with a subtle “Alright”

Upon reaching the Abernathy’s doorsteps, Evadne didn’t directly contact Thaddeus but instead, she

called Alva “Mrs. Abernathy, I hate to break this to you, but Mr. Thaddeus hasn’t returned home for

three or four days now!

Alva was filled with worry. Tve called him several times, and he barely answers. Even when he does,

he sounds drained. He just dismisses my concern and says he’s alright.” Evadne’s heart tightened, as

if being strangled by a giant hand

“I’ve raised Mr. Thaddeus since he was a lad, his thoughts run deep, and he’s the type to bear the

burdens alone. Since childhood, he would grit his teeth and weather through sickness or troubles on

his own. No matter how i probed, he would never spill a word. Mrs. Abernathy, can you get hold of Mr.

Thaddeus? I’m terrified that he might be in trouble!” Alva’s voice cared a hint of tears.

“Alva, calm down. I’ll find Thaddeus.” Evadne assured gently

Thaddeus, even though he may be avoiding everyone else.

He wouldn’t avoid her

Evadne ended her call with Alva, pondered for a moment, and then dialed Gordon.

“Mr. Gordon.”

“Ah, Ms. Evadne?”

Gordon’s tone was always amiable whenever he answered her calls, but this time, it seemed a bit

flustered.

If he claimed that there was no issue, she wouldn’t believe him!

“Where’s Mr. Thaddeus? He isn’t home, where’s he hiding?” Evadne’s elegant eyebrows knitted

together, sounding a bit irritated. “Ah, Mr. Thaddeus is out of town on a business trip”

“Gordon, let me remind you, lying to me could have serious consequences. Evadne’s tone was dark

and intimidating.

“Mrs. Abernathy. I’m telling you the truth! Even if it means getting fired by Mr. Thaddeus tomorrow, I

have to tell the truth!”

Gordon’s voice choked, on the verge of tears, “Please come and check on Mr. Thaddeus. His condition

isn’t good. I’m afraid he might collapse any moment!”
