His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 102

Chapter 102
He couldn’t help but glance towards Evadne on the stage.
“Well, if you can be here, why can’t I? Cas sius, you could’ve given me a heads up so we could’ve come together as father and son.”
Emeric spoke a bit discontentedly, then laughed cheerfully and saluted Hamiltion. “Mr. Hamiltion, long time no see. You’re looking younger and more energetic than ever!”
“Emeric! I’m really thrilled to see you!” Hamiltion immediately stood up and warmly shook Emeric’s hand.
Frederic, Elspeth, and the other young adults also rose to their feet.
Seeing Chairman Emeric suddenly appear, Thaddeus was taken aback, his brow furrowing.
He had checked the guest list multiple times before the birthday party, but he hadn’t seen the names Cas sius and Emeric. Judging by Mr. Hamiltion’s reaction, he didn’t seem to know about this either.
It was very likely that Frederic had personally invited them.
But if it was Frederic’s invitation, things seemed a bit odd.
“I just got off the plane, and I’m a bit late. I must apologize!” Emeric said, his manners impeccable.
Thaddeus couldn’t help but shake his head. In this distinguished man, he not only saw a shadow of Cas sius but also of Ilana.
He took a deep breath, feeling like he was going mad, and not just a little.
What kind of magic did Ilana have?
Emeric conversed warmly with Hamiltion, showing no signs that their families were once mortal enemies.
But the relationship between Chairman Emeric and Frederic was very delicate.
It was just not noticeable to outsiders.
With a distinguished guest visiting, the younger generation naturally had to stand. So, Thaddeus and Jareth got up to move to the back, leaving the chairman’s seat for Emeric.
“Mr. Hamiltion, Jareth and I will step down first.” Thaddeus bowed politely, very gracefully..
“It’s been a long time since I last saw Mr. Thaddeus and Mr. Jareth. You’ve all grown up, and you’re looking wonderful!” Emeric quickly glanced at Thaddeus, then turned to Hamiltion. “Mr. Hamiltion, I hear Thaddeus is getting married?”
Mentioning Thaddeus’ marriage, Hamiltion’s face slightly changed, and his smile dimmed.
“Chairman Emeric, Thaddeus is engaged to Acacia from the Stirling group, and they are getting married next month. We would be delighted if you could attend.” Frederic smoothly chimed in with a smile.

“The Stirling group? I’ve never heard of them.” Emeric said, expressionless.
Frederic and Elspeth looked quite embarra**ed.
“Acacia is my niece; she and Thaddeus grew up together.” Elspeth didn’t dare say more.
The previous inferior quality furniture matter had already caused tension between the Ashbourne group and the Stirling group. Bringing it up would only cause more awkwardness.
But she did not like being dismissed by Emeric either. After all, Acacia was her niece, and if Acacia lost face, so would she.
“Oh. Here, Mr. Hamiltion, let’s toast!”
It turned out Emeric had completely forgotten about the Stirling group and didn’t care who Thaddeus was marrying. It was just a polite inquiry.
He didn’t care as long as it wasn’t Evadne.
Thaddeus was simply not worthy of Evadne!
On stage.
Evadne had barely finished her song and was about to take a bow when Emeric’s gaze landed on her!
She was so nervous at this moment that her heart felt like it was about to jump out!
Fortunately, she had heavy makeup on, and the distance was significant enough that Emeric didn’t recognize her immediately. His gaze lingered for a moment before moving
on.
Evadne took this chance to dart off the stage as fast as she could, her clothes soaked with cold sweat.
At the same time, she received a message from Cas sius.
[Evadne, Dad’s here. Try not to come out in the second half, I’ll keep an eye on things. Stay in touch.]
[Okay, got it!]
Meanwhile, Emeric asked Hamiltion, “The young lady singing just now was pretty good. Where’d you find her?”
“Ha ha, she’s not just someone I found. She’s my granddaughter!” Hamiltion laughed proudly.
“Excellent! If you consider her your granddaughter, she must be truly remarkable.”
Thaddeus couldn’t help but glance back, only to find the stage empty.
Ilana had vanished without a trace.
His brows furrowed, his eyes reflecting a complex emotion.
Elsewhere, near the tea room.
After the flurry of the waitstaff going in and out, a maid that Glynnis had bribed snuck in.

She dodged the security cameras, took out the two bottles of knockout drops that Glynnis had given her, poured them into two cups, and then filled them with champagne. “One for Cas sius, and the other, you must make sure Jareth drinks it, understand?”
This was Glynnis’ command.
Whether she could rise to the top depended on this!
Due to her nervousness, the maid suddenly needed to use the restroom and rushed out.
At this moment, a girl in a white dress quietly walked in.
It was Marilla, who had not been seen at the birthday party.
With her bright eyes darting around, she quickly grabbed a gla** of champagne and downed it in one go.
Marilla had a little secret: she loved to drink. She would often sneak into the wine cellar and the kitchen to steal drinks when everyone was asleep. And she had done again.
“Burp! This is so good!” Marilla burped, licking her lips in satisfaction.
She then poured herself another gla** and scurried away like a little squirrel.
