His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 167

Jareth had skedaddled. Mrs. Jareth was overseas nursing her health and hadn’t returned yet. Glynnis’s plan to win over her future mother–in–law had gone up in smoke for now.

Still, thinking about how Jareth had accepted her gift, she was over the moon. She reckoned she’d have a hard time catching some Z’s tonight.

in the afternoon, Jareth and Edith were under a ma**ive plane tree in the Jareth family’s backyard, enjoying the autumn scenery and sipping afternoon

tea

“When did you meet Evadne, Edith?” Glynnis was on tenterhooks. She had a real beef with Evadne.

“I ran into her at the music concert my mentor held the day before yesterday.” Edith took a sip of her coffee in a laid–back manner. She glanced at her and asked, “Sounds like you and Evadne have had a bit of a barney.”

“Humph, a barney? I can’t stand the sight of her!”

“That bad, huh?”

“Edith, you’ve been away from home for a while. There’s a lot you don’t know.” Glynnis blurted out angrily, “Evadne is like a demon that jumped out of a rock, stirring up trouble and making my brother and your brother run around in circles! Because of this woman, our Abernathy family is in a real pickle!”

“What? My brother fancies her?” Edith’s eyes dimmed.

“Jareth was lured by that tramp! Evadne is a dab hand at seducing men, she’s like a vixen!” Glynnis was so angry her face was beet red, “Thankfully, they’re not as close now. I reckon the vixen has a new target.”

“My brother isn’t easy picking for any woman. He’s always been the playboy, not the other way around. Evadne had been given the heave–ho by my brother. He’d never take a fancy to the same woman again. She was just a plaything. He’d never fall for her, I know him too well.”

Edith noticed that Glynnis looked a bit off, and quickly comforted, “But you’re different, Glynnis. Our families have always been close, and with me here, I’ll make sure you win my brother over.”

“Edith! My dear Edith!” Glynnis was moved to tears, feeling like she’d found a lifeline to happiness.

“So what’s the deal with Evadne and Thad?”

This was what Edith really cared about.

“Mentioning that just makes my blood boil!” Glynnis said angrily, “She is Thaddeus’s ex–wife!”
