His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 62

Evadne hopped in the car without uttering a single word. Her whole mood was off, like a robot about to

breakdown.

Every time she thought about the cruel words Thaddeus had said to her, it felt like she was getting

doused with an ice-cold bucket of water, shaking her to the core. How did she never notice before how

nasty he was? How low-down? How shameless?

Well, it was not a sure thing whether love brought happiness, but one thing was for sure. It could make

you blind as a bat.

“Miss. I’ve posted the video as you asked. Look, Glynnis and her two friends are going at it!” Jason

thrust his phone in front of her.

Evadne glanced at the screen where three women were having a catfight, and it was quite a scene.

“Da mn, this chick’s got some fight in her. She’s holding her own against two others. It’d be a crying

shame if she doesn’t join a wrestling match.” Jason chuckled.

“Pfft, all they’re doing is pulling hair and throwing punches, nothing special to watch.”

Even though she said this, Evadne didn’t tear her eyes away from the screen. She was clearly saying

one thing and meaning another. Actually, watching these women argue did help blow off some steam.

“Miss, did Thaddeus really delete all the photos?”

Jason remembered how Thaddeus had once held Evadne’s waist, Thaddeus’ actions clearly flirtatious,

which infuriated Jason to the point where his eyes became red. But then Jason thought about how the

two were once a couple and must have shared more intimate moments over the past three years. He

felt like he had no right to be angry.

“He must have deleted them. Even if he doesn’t like Glynnis, he still needs to protect the reputation of

the Abernathy Group. To put it nicely, he’s just thinking about the bigger picture. To put it bluntly, he’s a

heartless monster who doesn’t care about his family.”

Evadne sighed lightly and unlocked her phone. She never imagined that Thaddeus would remember

her phone’s pa**code. Maybe he saw it one day over the past three years and remembered it ever

since.

But what did it matter if he remembered? The man who never loved her from beginning to end would

never know what “0923” meant.

That was thirteen years ago, the day Thaddeus first rescued Evadne from a mountain. Perhaps in his

eyes, her thrilling experiences were worthless.

*Miss, what should we do next? Thaddeus has destroyed the evidence we had against Glynnis. That

woman surely won’t back down,” Jason asked with a worried frown.

Suddenly, Evadne let out a surprised “Huh?”, her eyes widened. Thaddeus’ number was now in her

contacts! Despite her caution, she still couldn’t outsmart this cun ning man.

Later that night, Thaddeus returned to the Windermere Estate from his office.

Outside, it was raining cats and dogs. He watched as the raindrops slid down the car window,

reminding him of Ilana’s eyes, shining like stars.

But each pair of eyes was filled with resentment, making his already heavy mood even more stressful.

Thaddeus tilted his head back, and the neon lights outlined his sharp jawline, adding a hint of mystery

to his stern face. He reached up to adjust his impeccably tied tie, its smooth texture reminding him of

her slender waist.

Thaddeus’ throat bobbed unconsciously, his breathing slightly uneven. He tried to banish that pair of

clear eyes from his mind but to no avail.

Evadne was becoming more and more daring. During their three years of marriage, she wouldn’t even

dare to hold his hand. But now that they were divorced, she had the audacity to provoke him in public.

What did she take him for!

“Mr. Thaddeus…” Gordon, sitting in the pa**enger seat, nervously called out his name, hesitating to

speak.

“Speak.” Thaddeus was thinking about Evadne, feeling irritated; his tone was icy cold.

“Well.. the incident with Miss Glynnis at the hotel has blown up. The internet is full of criticism about

rich people tra mpling on others’ dignity. Do you think we should…”

“Leave it.”

“But if we ignore it, the lady might complain to Mr. Frederic. I’m afraid Mr. Frederic might blame you.”

Gordon was worried.

Thaddeus frowned, scoffing, “I’m not scared, why would you be?”

His phone buzzed, and Gordon checked it. “Mr. Thaddeus, the surveillance footage you asked for is

ready.”

Thaddeus looked up and took the phone. On the screen was the complete scene of the confrontation

between that woman and Glynnis.

When he was not present, Glynnis’ bragging, and her arrogant demeanor were laid bare, including her

frantic attempt to hit Ilana, and how she was counterattacked by Ilana.

Thaddeus raised an eyebrow, his noble and indifferent face cold as ice. The previous mood was just a

warm-up; now Mr. Thaddeus was truly pis sed.

Thaddeus had just returned home and changed when Frederic summoned him to the study.

“Dad! You must stand up for me! I’m so hurt! I’m so miserable!” Glynnis was crying her heart out to

Frederic, her face was not only wet with tears but also scratched from the fight with the two women in

the afternoon. There was also a cut on her lip, making her appearance pitiful.

Frederic sat on the couch, staring at his daughter, who had always presented herself as a cultured

woman, but was now in such distress. To console her, he stroked her hair, “When Thaddeus gets back,

I’ll ask him what happened.”

“This incident is getting bigger and bigger. I’ve received several calls asking about Glynnis’ situation,

and I don’t know how to respond.” Elspeth was worried about her daughter, her eyes slightly red. “Now

the internet is slandering Glynnis. How will our daughter face others in the future! How will other noble

families view us!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t let our daughter be wronged.” Frederic listened, as a trace of anger flashed in his

eyes.

Just then, the door opened, and Thaddeus walked in with a poker face.

“Thaddeus, you’re the CEO of the group, and you don’t even give a da mn about this video mess?”

Frederic put his arm around Glynnis, ripping into Thaddeus right off the bat.

“The group has a PR and legal department, each with its own heads,” Thaddeus replied, poker-faced,

voice steady as steel. “I’m the CEO, not a nanny for every detail. Things I should handle, I handle.

Matters I shouldn’t, I stay out of.”

“Thaddeus, you think this isn’t your business? Glynnis is your sister! You’re cool with her taking the

heat, throwing her reputation in the gutters?” Elspeth covered her chest, tears welling up, looking like

she could faint any moment.

“Honey, don’t get too worked up. Think about your health.” Frederic quickly got up to comfort her, his

eyes full of tenderness, as if they could stick to her face.

13:30

Twenty years had pa**ed, and the sight of their lovey-dovey moments still made Thaddeus feel sick to

his stomach. His father had never once mentioned his birth mother in the past twenty years, nor had he

ever visited her grave. That poor woman, who loved him dearly, seemed to have never existed in

Frederic’s life. It was far crueler than hate or

anger.

“I’m okay… darling.” Elspeth leaned on Frederic, pretending to cough lightly. “I was too emotional. As

the CEO of Abernathy Group. Thaddeus has a lot on his plate. I shouldn’t have bothered him with this.

But I’m worried if Thaddeus still holds a grudge against me, after all, I’m not his birth mother… If that’s

why he’s reluctant to help, my love, don’t blame him. I understand.”

Thaddeus coldly watched Elspeth’s act, which he had been tired of for the past twenty years. He

wondered why Frederic hadn’t grown tired of it.

“Don’t overthink it. Whether this kid admits it or not, you’re my wife, and therefore his mother!” Stirred

by Elspeth, Frederic’s anger flared up, pointing at Thaddeus’ indifferent face. “You better come up with

a solution right now! By tomorrow morning, Glynnis’ articles and those videos must be removed! Or

else, I’ll blame you!”

“I’ve already thought of a plan and told Glynnis about it.” Thaddeus replied coo lly.

“Dad! What plan did Thad come up with? He’s asking me to jump into a fire pit! He actually wants me to

apologize to that female employee! She’s a nobody! Why should I apologize to her?! And today, Ilana

came to Moonlit Treasures to pick a fight with me. She slapped me in front of everyone! Boo h oo… I’m

too embarra**ed to face anyone!”

Elspeth and Frederic were shocked. “What? Ilana slapped you?!”

“Look at the slap mark on my face, could I be lying?” Glynnis pointed to her swollen cheek, crying.

“That’s too much! Thaddeus! What kind of woman did you marry, a demon?!” Elspeth was unable to

bear her daughter being bullied, and her gentle face showed a hint of ruthlessness. “She dare to slap

Glynnis, I’ll sue her! We can’t let this slide!”

“Glynnis was the one who hit Ilana first, and Ilana was just defending herself.” Thaddeus said without

batting an eyelid.

“So, that woman really did slap Glynnis?” Frederic asked, his eyes dark.

Thaddeus silently nodded.

“I want you to contact her right now! Tell her to apologize to Glynnis! Also, you haven’t finalized your

divorce, right? Make time tomorrow to go to the city hall and get it done! From now on, I forbid you from

having any contact with that woman!” Frederic commanded sternly.

Thaddeus frowned slightly. He was set on divorcing, but after hearing this, he unexpectedly felt

uncomfortable. Almost without thinking, he retorted, “No way.”
