His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 242

Evadne’s icy gaze under her ruby red lips remained unbothered, even a hint of impatience beginning to creep in..

However, Edith, at the receiving end of this indifference, was seething, her whole being threatening to combust right then and there!

Thaddeus’s blatant favoritism towards his ex–wife was a ruthless execution of her pride and self–worth!

Why?

Why would he disregard her, a woman of beauty, intelligence, and from a good family, for a woman he had deserted?

What was more, men constantly surrounded Evadne. First, there was her current flame, Jareth, then that inconspicuous pretty boy, Avery. How many more men had she been with, and didn’t Thaddeus find that revolting?

“I heard that Mr. Jareth brought Ms. Edith here to apologize to me. That’s why I took time out of my busy schedule to see you, Evadne started, her voice cold as ice. “You should know, I am not just Evadne of the Ashbourne family anymore, I am also the renowned jewellery designer, Alea. People are lining up to get a chance to meet me. I don’t have the time to deal with trivial matters or people.”

Evadne flicked her raven hair, crossed her arms, and elegantly lounged on the sofa. “Had I known you would come, I wouldn’t have bothered.”

“Why?” Thaddeus’s voice tightened, his heart constricting. “Would you rather see Jareth than me?”

Jareth’s eyebrows twitched. He muttered under his breath about Thaddeus’s audacity. He knew he had a higher standing with Evadne than Thaddeus did!

“There are only two reasons why I would meet someone, either for business or personal reasons.”

Evadne held up two slender fingers, waving them slightly in Thaddeus’s direction. “With you, Thaddeus, there’s neither business nor personal matters. Why should I meet someone who is less than a stranger to me?”

Less than a stranger.

Thaddeus’s face darkened, a burning sensation filling his throat, spreading down to his heart..

Jareth smirked, at least she acknowledged him as a person, saving him some face.

“Mr. Jareth, if you have something to say, say it. I have a meeting soon and don’t have time to waste here.” Evadne drawled, crossing her long legs, her red high heels adding to her allure.

She was like a villainess straight out of a comic, regal and captivating.

Thaddeus’s deep gaze inevitably landed on Evadne’s slender white ankle peeking out from beneath her trousers.

His jaw clenched, his throat dry, and he had to swallow hard.

This was the woman he had been so foolish to let go of.

Now, she seemed to glow from the inside out. Every strand of her hair and every inch of her skin was beautiful..

And Edith played the part of the innocent victim perfectly, her face as white as a sheet, her lips trembling as if she had been wronged by Evadne.

“Evadne, no, President Ashbourne.”

Jareth corrected himself immediately, seeing Evadne’s expression change. “We came here to apologize to you. The necklace that Glynnis gave to Ada at the auction was a replica that my sister had found in Aetheria.”

As Jareth’s voice trailed off, he kept a watchful eye on Evadne’s reaction.

“Oh, I knew that a long time ago.” Evadne replied calmly.
