Chapter 44
Thaddeus was blown away, his heart pounding like a drum.
His eyes bugged out at the sight of his gentle and humble ex-wife, who now appeared audacious and even capable of violence.
“Ilana, did you really do this?” Thaddeus asked, his gaze locked on her.
Evadne began to smile, her beautiful face instantly drawing attention.
Jareth clutched his chest, moved by her smile.
How could a woman be so captivating even when she’s up to no good!
“Thad. What do you mean by that?”
Acacia, fearing that Thaddeus might start doubting her, began to make a fuss. “Are you saying you don’t trust me? Am I that untrustworthy to you?”
She couldn’t understand why Ilana would admit to something like this.
Acacia decided not to overthink it, as long as things turned out the way she wanted! If Ilana wanted to take the fall, then she was just asking for it!
“Thaddeus, look at the wicked woman you once married! She almost cut Acacia’s artery; she wanted to take my daughter’s life!” Una cried out, they both bursting into tears.
Thaddeus lowered his gaze, his brows furrowed.
“Ilana, you weren’t this quick-tempered when you were with the Abernathy family. You used to be so fragile, nothing like you are now.”
Elspeth stared at Ilana, her words coated with malice: “Ilana is showing her true colors now that she’s no longer with Thaddeus. It’s a good thing Thaddeus divorced her in time and made up with Acacia. Otherwise, who knows how long this scheming girl could have fooled us.”
“Elspeth, how dare you insult Ilana!”
Jareth couldn’t hold back anymore. As he attempted to retort, Ilana stopped him.

Glynnis watched this with a sour look, her resentment toward her former sister-in-law growing.
“You can handle this however you like.” Evadne said sarcastically.
“Apologize to Acacia.” Thaddeus said it coldly, without looking at her.
It was as if their three years of marriage had been nothing but a dream, as if they had never known each other.
Acacia could hardly contain her smile; she was over the moon.
This was Ilana’s payback. Thaddeus was always hers.
During their three years of marriage, Ilana had given everything for him, taken care of everything in their lives, and worked hard for the whole Abernathy family. But all it took was a few crocodile tears from Acacia, and Thaddeus would worry about her.
A few drops of her tears were worth more than all of Ilana’s sincerity!
Evadne held her chin high, striding toward Acacia.
With anger coursing through her, she didn’t say a word and slapped Acacia hard across the face!
Everyone was dumbstruck and at a loss for words!
Her movement was so fast that Thaddeus didn’t have time to react, only feeling a chill pa** through him.
“You hit me. You really hit me?” Acacia looked somewhat dizzy from the pain.
“I hit you because you deserved it!”
Evadne’s smile was replaced by a frightening rage: “This slap is for touching my diamond bracelet that grandpa gave me. If you have the guts, confront me directly. But you destroyed my bracelet, why? Why did you do that?”
“Ilana! How could you do this?” Thaddeus was livid. He growled in a low voice, noticing the swelling on her wrist as she swung her hand.
Her skin was so delicate that even a slight injury was noticeable.
But his anger at the moment made him oblivious to this; all he could do was glare at her.
Una, Elspeth, and Glynnis were in disbelief. How could Ilana be so brazen in front of Thaddeus? How could her temper be so volatile?
“Listen up; from now on, Acacia and I are enemies. If I betray my own vow, I’ll end up just like this diamond bracelet!” Evadne gritted her teeth, slowly unfurling her left hand.
Thaddeus suddenly felt a tightness in his chest as he saw her blo ody hand and the blood-stained broken bracelet.
She really loved that bracelet.
Even though the bracelet was broken, she held onto it, oblivious to the cuts on her hand.
Thaddeus was at a loss for words, gazing deeply at Evadne’s angry face.
‘Ms. Ilana! Your hand is bleeding!”
Jareth cried out in shock, frantically searching his pockets for a handkerchief or a tissue, anything to help her bandage the wound but he found nothing!
Thaddeus had a handkerchief in his pocket. His head was slightly lowered, his fingers tightly clutching the handkerchief, but he found himself lacking the courage to offer it to
her.
Just then, a whiff of perfume wafted over as an elegant woman in a dark green dress walked past him.
Evadne felt a bit dizzy as Suri approached her, removing the fragments from her hand and carefully bandaging it with a handkerchief.
