His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

A contract marriage?!

Chapter 109

Emeric was so pis sed he wanted to slap Thaddeus right then and there but what baffled him more was

Evadne.

He had thought of Evadne as a little hell-raiser. Daring enough to risk getting blown to bits on the

battlefield to save others was already over the top.

But to think that after disappearing for three years, she went behind their backs and got married! And to

his mortal enemy Frederic’s son Thaddeus! And it was a contract marriage!

At that moment, Emeric wanted to cr ack open her skull to see what exactly she was thinking!

Thaddeus’s eyes were getting redder and redder, and his chest felt like it was being crushed, and he

could barely breathe.

Now, she was about to leave him for good. Their three years of bond shattered during Mr. Hamiltion’s

birthday party, and everything turned into dust.

But he didn’t want to end things with her in such an unclear way, and he wanted an answer.

“If I recall correctly, we first met three years ago. When Mr. Hamiltion asked you to marry me, why

didn’t you refuse? Why?” Evadne narrowed her eyes into slits, looking at him coldly like a cat. “Since

we’re already divorced, why bother asking these pointless questions? Just a**ume I was bored three

years ago and wanted to experience married life with a man. Fortunately, Mr. Hamiltion gave me the

chance.”

“Evadne!” Thaddeus called her real name with a h o ar se voice, his eyes burning. “I just want an

answer. I want to hear the truth!”

“Let bygones be bygones. Let’s not dwell on it and look forward,” she said, stretching her right hand

towards Thaddeus. “We might be competitors in the business world in the future, I won’t go easy on

you, and I hope you won’t go soft on me because of our past relationship, please compete with me to

the best of your ability.”

She wanted to say “out of old times’ sake”, but then she thought, he never loved her, so what old

times?

Thaddeus felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out. he tried to take a deep breath, but he

couldn’t shake her hand.

As if by shaking hands, they would be worlds apart, never to meet again.

Evadne shrugged, unbothered, and got into the car.

Just as the engine roared to life and the luxury car was about to take off, she rolled down the window

and looked at Thaddeus with a beautiful face.

Thaddeus’s heart ski pped a beat, but her following words made him freeze.

“See you at 9 a.m. tomorrow, and we’ll go to the courthouse to finalize the divorce proceedings.”

The luxury car smoothly drove away from Thaddeus, and the wheels seemed to be rolling over his

heart.

Behind him, Hamiltion was wiping away his tears secretly, Frederic’s face was complex, his eyes hard

to read.

“What? Now that she’s gone, you suddenly remember how good Ms. Evadne was? Regretting it?”

Hamiltion sneered.

“I just.”

“Thaddeus’s way of doing things, you don’t need a DNA test to know he’s your son! Can’t tell real from

fake, can’t discern the genuine from the false! Humph!”

Frederic looked defeated, grinding his teeth, unable to speak.

He couldn’t imagine this countryside girl who worked as a caregiver and showed no signs of being

special in the past three years, but once they divorced, she turned out to be the most beloved daughter

of Skyrim’s richest man!

Although the Abernathy family was also a big family in Elmsworth, but if the news of the Abernathy

family and the Ashbourne family’s marriage alliance came out, the Abernathy group’s stocks would

definitely soar!

But now, everything was just a mirage.

The night was as dark as ink. Evadne sat in the car looking out the window, her heart cold as ice.

She replayed Thaddeus, asking her why she married him in the first place over and over. In her mind,

his eyes were sca ttered and broken, filled with pain and reluctance, as if she had abandoned him.

Evadne clenched her fists, shaking her head forcefully.

One should never pity a man. Pitying a man was the beginning of a tragedy.

Thaddeus could never fall in love with her. If he could, three years would have been enough. The pain

and resentment on his face now was just because Emeric was present, and he was trying to save face

for himself.

“So, why did you marry him?” Emeric gritted his teeth, looking at Evadne, his fists clenched.

Evadne rolled her eyes impatiently, “Enough, Emeric, stop digging into the past. It’s over.”

“Over my as s!” Emeric roared, startling the driver and Jason in the pa**enger seat, “My baby girl

secretly married that Abernathy boy for three years and now divorced! If you didn’t come to Mr.

Hamiltion’s birthday party, were you planning on keeping me in the dark forever?!”

“Then why did you come? Did Frederic give you an invitation?” Evadne tried to change the subject.

“Don’t change the subject!”

Evadne’s fingertips rested on her lower lip, and she spoke softly, “Because Thaddeus is handsome.”

“Handsome? Which one of my sons isn’t better looking than Thaddeus?!”

“Which one of your sons can I marry?”

Emeric was choked up, and he continued angrily, “How much money did their family give you? How

much jewellery? How many shares? How many mansions and luxury cars?! Why didn’t I see any

media coverage about you and Thaddeus’s marriage? With Frederic’s personality, wouldn’t he have

been showing off if Thaddeus married a girl of your status? He would’ve set off fireworks walking down

the street!”

“Emeric, you forgot I used a pseudonym during my three years of marriage to Thaddeus. They didn’t

know I was your daughter.” Evadne was originally a bit down but couldn’t help but almost laugh at

Emeric’s words, “I never liked to show off, so marrying Thaddeus was pretty simple.”

Emeric was fuming at the thought of the Abernathy family pushing his daughter around, both openly

and secretly. He wished he could bankrupt them tomorrow and kick them

to the curb!

Chapter 109

“You’d rather put yourself down, even willing to marry Thaddeus under a false name. Evadne, have you

lost your marbles, gone mad, or been brainwashed? This is totally not like you!” Emeric’s face was

filled with disbelief and confusion.

She wasn’t crazy, and she wasn’t stu pid. She just once deeply loved Thaddeus and sincerely wanted

to marry him.

Biting back the pain, Evadne gave a faint smile, gripping Emeric’s cold hand tightly, gently covering it.

“Thaddeus has been good to me these past three years, and he never let me lack anything or bullied

me. We broke up amicably, Dad, don’t worry about me. See, didn’t I come back safe and sound?”

“What else can we do?” Emeric was both angry and heartbroken, his handsome face suddenly

seeming to age a few years. “Let it be! After all, you married under a fake identity. Thaddeus’s ex-wife

is just that unlucky llana, not Evadne! Evadne is still the unattainable queen of the hill!”

“That’s the spirit. Dad!” Evadne hugged him tightly, affectionately leaning on his shoulder.
