His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 243

“Miss Evadne, are you really planning to go easy on that Ms. Edith? This has got to be the softest I’ve ever seen you.”

Jason saw Evadne kicking off her high heels haphazardly, revealing a helpless yet doting smile. He neatly arranged them under the table for her.

At the moment, Evadne was furiously playing a video game to relax, wreaking havoc in the virtual world.

In this game world, the female slaughter queen Cifer had become a goddess adored by players. Every time she live–streamed her gaming, hundreds of thousands of people would watch, the popularity was enormous.

“What are you thinking, going easy? I’m a charitable businesswoman, not a saint brimming with sympathy. I haven’t dealt with Edith only because I currently have no concrete evidence. She made Glynnis her scapegoat, all the suspicions are indirect, and I can’t do anything to her.”

“It seems like there’s a deep grudge between you and Ms. Edith.

Jason grumbled, “She didn’t show any remorse at all, and even glared at you when she left. That look was simply devouring!”

“She’d better be capable of devouring me, or else I suggest she blink. Otherwise, she might end up being the joke herself when her scheme backfires.”

Her phone vibrated at this moment, with a call from Cassius.

“Cassius!” Evadne quickly picked up, her voice sweet and sticky.

“Evadne, are you at the hotel?” Cassius asked.

“Yes, in the office.”

“So, are you with Jason?” Cassius lowered his voice.

Evadne, astute as she was, immediately caught on and got up to walk towards the door, pretending to go to the restroom.

If she asked Jason to leave at this time, it would surely make the perceptive Jareth suspicious that she was deliberately avoiding him.

After reaching the private restroom, Evadne closed the door.

“Cassius, what’s the matter? Is it about Jason?”

“It doesn’t have much to do with Jason but there are some connections. He’s with you, so there are some things I can’t say openly.”

Cassius paused, his tone steady, “Mr. Frederic, in order to get his daughter out, once again sought the help of Jason’s lawyer brother, Cedric Dempsey. Cedric has already gone to the police station to get Miss Abernathy.”

Evadne’s pupils darkened, “With Jim guarding her, the probability of Glynnis getting out is quite high.”

“Cedric is wily and experienced, with an undefeated record in his decade–long legal career, and he won’t allow himself to fail. So even if he has to resort to unscrupulous means, he will clear Miss Abernathy’s name.”

Cassius gently reminded, “Evadne, if I were Cedric, I would start with that Ms. Caroline. After all, she is currently the primary witness accusing Glynnis.”

“Cassius, I get what you’re saying. But Caroline is not in my hands right now. She’s controlled by Thaddeus.”

Evadne took a deep breath, her expression calm, “I’ll handle–this matter. You and Thad shouldn’t get involved. Especially Thad, he’s a civil servant and can’t do anything illegal for my sake. If he’s caught by someone with malicious intentions, it won’t be good.”

After ending the call, she felt a heavier burden on her heart..

As for Glynnis, she had never taken her seriously. After all, Elspeth was the ant queen she wanted to take down.

But she was worried that this matter would upset Jason again. That foolish young man had a strong sense of responsibility and was too sensitive. Would he come crying to her again?

With a heavy mood, Evadne walked towards the office:
