His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 239

Glynnis‘ ears were ringing, as if she’d been struck by lightning. She was frozen in place.

“Mom, save me! Mom!”

Seeing her daughter being dragged away by the police, Elspeth threw all pretense of a wealthy lady’s dignity to the wind. She even tried to obstruct the police! “My daughter is innocent! How could you, as police officers, handle the case like this? How could you mistakenly arrest an innocent person?!!

Jareth watched the overly dramatic mother–daughter duo with cold eyes, silently hoping the police would hurry up and spare them the noise. “Elspeth, if you don’t let go, we’ll charge you with obstructing justice!” The policeman’s tone was icy towards Elspeth.

“My daughter was framed! By her, by the daughter of the Fairhaven family, Edith!” Elspeth shouted, both terrified and furious, her gaze fixed on ‘Edith with a malicious intensity.

“What does this have to do with me? Even if I did forge the necklace, it’s just a case of copyright infringement. A little compensation and it’s over. But I didn’t get involved in any of the commercial secret leaks!”

Edith’s words were cut short as her heart gave a painful jolt. She slapped a hand over her mouth.

Damn, she’d slipped up! In her haste to distance herself from Glynnis, she’d let the cat out of the bag about the necklace!

She felt like a target, a pair of sharp painful arrows piercing her chest.

Edith slowly turned around, meeting Jareth’s gaze full of anger, shock, and disappointment.

“Mr. Jareth! Your sister is not as innocent as you think! She’s full of deceit and she’s lied to both you and me!”

Glynnis‘ shriek echoed through the Fairhaven estate, chilling as a wailing banshee. “Edith! You used me as a scapegoat. I’ll never forgive you, just you wait!” “Edith! Quick, come to me!” Mrs. Jareth called, clearly frightened by Elspeth and her daughter.

“Mummy!”

Edith, still in shock, tried to run towards her mother, but was forcefully stopped by Jareth grabbing her wrist.

“Jareth.” She was trembling.

“Edith, why did you do it? Was it to get back at Ms. Evadne?” Jareth asked, his eyes red with

anger.

“It’s all Glynnis‘ nonsense!”

“You’re still denying it!”

Jareth bellowed, his grip tightening, making Edith cry out in pain. “Ouch, Jareth, let go! It hurts! Mummy, help me!”

“Jareth! Let her go! Are you trying to break your sister’s wrist?”

Mrs. Jareth rushed over in a panic, prying Jareth’s hand off her daughter and pulling Edith into a protective embrace. “Can’t we talk this out?”

“Talk it out? I gave her a chance to explain, but what was she doing?”

Jareth was seething, staring at Edith’s tear–streaked face, which still held an angelic innocence..

A sharp pain echoed in his chest, spreading through his nerves. “She’s been lying and plotting with Glynnis, trying to frame Ms. Evadne! What did Evadne do wrong? Why are you targeting her? Because she’s Thaddeus‘ ex–wife? Is that your reason?”
