Chapter 184
She had put out feelers to anyone and everyone, hoping to get a piece of jewelry designed by Alea, but
to no avail.
Now, Evadne was giving her this brooch as a welcome gift, they can imagine the thrill she was feeling
inside!
“No, no, no, Ms. Evadne, I really appreciate your kindness, but this gift is way too posh, I can’t accept
it.” Ada, despite her internal glee, had to politely refuse due to courtesy.
“This brooch once soothed my wounded heart, but now, I’ve totally walked out of the shadows of my
past life and I won’t make the same mistakes
again.”
Evadne gave a faint smile, her eyes firm, “So, this gift is more like a good wish. It helped me get out of
my men tal rut, so I hope this little trinket can bring you good luck in your future life.”
Thaddeus felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he’d been shot, his heart was aching
The secret joy he had just felt was doused with a bucket of cold water by Evadne
“Oh! In that case, I will accept your gift. Thank you so much! I really love it?”
Ada picked up the brooch that Evadne had revalued, grinning from ear to ear!
Holy cow, was this the same aloof international superstar? What a transformation!
“Why on earth?” Glynnis said angrily to Elspeth, “Mom, the Abernathy family spent big bucks to set up
this stage, how can we let Evadne show off here? It’s just a lousy brooch, the Abernathy family can
afford it too! You should find a way to get this bit ch out of here?”
“Find a way? Why should 17”
Elspeth’s eyes darkened, and she said grimly. “Evadne is just a jinx Her presence only brings bad luck.
The ba stard just mocked me by mentioning Ada. he’s quite pleased with himself. Shouldn’t someone
teach him a lesson for me?”
Despite her anger, Glynnis was a bit puzzled.
Before the divorce, Evadne was very scared of Thaddeus. Every time he scowled, she would fret for

several days. Now after the divorce, she seemed very confident and didn’t care about Thaddeus at all.
If she had shown these capabilities earlier, would there have been any issue with Acacia?
“Ms. Evadne!”
Edith couldn’t help it any longer. She walked up to Evadne and said with a fake smile, “You can give
Miss Ada a gift anytime you want, but why do you have to choose tonight, at the Abernathy Hotel’s
banquet? Isn’t this a bit much?”
Thaddeus’s face fell as he saw Edith step up
“A gift is too much? Ms. Edith, are you underestimating Mr. Thaddeus’s capabilities?”
Evadne said with narrowed eyes, “Besides, this is a banquet at the Abernathy Hotel, and Mr. Thaddeus
is right here watching everything. If the host doesn’t say anything, isn’t it a bit much for a guest like you
to criticize me?”
Edith was fuming, but she couldn’t lose her cool with so many people watching
Evadne sighed deeply and said to Ada, “Miss Ada, it seems I’m not very welcome here, which I
completely understand. After all, our two families have always been business rivals, and my
appearance is indeed quite sudden. Since my gift has been delivered, I guess I’ll excuse myself.”
Then she turned to leave.
“Ms. Evadne, please wait!”
Ada hurriedly called out to Evadne and walked up to her, “I would like to discuss the topic of Alea
jewelry with you in depth. Are you available tonight?”
“Of course. The K Orld Hotel has prepared a feast for you, how about we chat over dinner?”
Everyone was taken aback.
Did Evadne just brazenly invite Ada at the Abernathy Group’s banquet?
Thaddeus felt a pang in his heart, the anger in his heart was rushing up. He was about to stop Ada.
“Mr. Thaddeus. Ada looked at him, and gave a smile of apology, “I have some things to take care of. I
might need to leave early, hope you guys have fun.” Everyone was taken aback.
She just left like that?
She was indeed as willful as the rumors said, really hard to handle!
“Mr. Thaddeus, I don’t mind preparing another set of utensils for you. Would you like to join us?”
Evadne extended the invitation to Thaddeus with a smile, although there was no mirth in her eyes.
Thaddeus clenched his teeth, his heart pounding.
Before he could say anything, Evadne smiled and said, “There are so many guests here tonight, you
might be too busy. Let’s talk about it next time.” Under the gaze of the crowd, Evadne and Ada left the
banquet hall like old friends.
The room fell into an awkward silence.
Thaddeus stared at Evadne’s retreating figure, a wave of pain in his heart.
Last time, she stole his project.
This time, she stole his customer.
Instead of being a rich heiress, Evadne was more like a ruthless bandit!
Thaddeus subconsciously covered his heart, feeling empty, as if something had left with Evadne.
Outside the Abernathy Hotel, there were still many reporters gathered.
Originally, since Ada had already checked in and was supposed to go straight back to the presidential
suite after the banquet, these reporters waiting here should have already left.
But it seemed that the number of reporters hadn’t decreased.
These reporters were all called back by Jason, claiming that there would be big news!
Some reporters were getting impatient and started to complain.
“What are we waiting for in this cold weather? What big news could there be tonight?”
“I guess, maybe the K Orld Hotel is not willing to give up and wants to make another move.”
“What’s the use of feeling sore? We’re in Elmsworth, not Skyrim, after all. And besides, the Abernathy
Group is the local big shot. The K Orld Hotel, the new kid on the block, will definitely find it hard to fit in
here. Evadne might be a woman, but how could she possibly outdo Mr. Thaddeus?”
“Totally with you there! Mr. Thaddeus might be a bit of a wet blanket when it comes to the heart stuff,
but he sure knows how to play the game when it comes to business. The K Orld Hotel is just a flash in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe pan, no way they can last!”
Suddenly, a loud car horn blared, giving them all a good scare!!
The reporters looked towards the direction of the headlights in surprise, only to see a dark green high-
end Rolls-Royce slowly pulling up and stopping right in front of the hotel entrance.
Everyone saw this flashy ride, thinking was another celeb, and started snapping away like crazy.
When the car door opened and a suited up Jason stepped out, the flashes stopped abruptly and the
reporters looked disappointed.
Even though the guy was a looker, a pretty face ain’t gonna make headlines!
“Ah! It’s Ada! Ada’s out!”
Suddenly, someone in the crowd yelled, and all eyes were back on the hotel entrance!
Jason had already opened the back door of the car, his gaze joining everyone else’s.
Evadne and Ada stepped into view side by side, and the flashes reached their peak once again!
“What? Ada’s leaving Abernathy Hotel, and with Evadne no less?”
“Talk about a facepalm moment for Mr. Thaddeus, having his guests poached before the party’s even
started!”
“Oh my Go d! This is news! The Abernathy Group versus the K Orld Hotel, this is excited, snap it up!”
The flashes were blinding, tonight Evadne had stolen all of the Abernathy Group’s thunder.
And the hot topic on the internet shifted from Ada checking into Abernathy Hotel to Evadne and Ada.
As Evadne was about to get into the car, under Jason’s watchful eyes, a reporter called out. “Ms.
Evadne! You’ve just walked off with Mr. Thaddeus’s VIP guest under everyone’s noses, isn’t that a bit
of a low blow? Isn’t that unfair?”
Evadne stopped in her tracks, her head snapped up, her sharp gaze instantly silencing the probing
reporter.
She might look gentle, but inside she was tough as nails!
“Am I not allowed to invite Ms. Ada for dinner just because she’s staying at Abernathy Hotel?” she said
with a smile, “Mr. Thaddeus is a man of great character and magnanimity, and he hasn’t said a word.
Aren’t you guys making him look petty with your wild speculations?”
Then Evadne got into the car with grace. The Rolls-Royce started up and zoomed off in no time.
