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!”
