His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 247

A powerful retort from Evadne made Cedric feel as though his mask of pretense was ripped off, exposing the shameful title of an ungrateful man hovering over his

head

Evadne thought, “Wishing to distance yourself from the Ashbournes, are you? Alright. But I will make sure to stir the pot. Your secrets hidden in the dark, I’ll drag them out into the light!”

Cedric’s lips tightened, his face still adorned with a smile, but his gaze on Evadne held no trace of mirth.

The atmosphere became tense and awkward.

Frederic thought Evadne was nothing short of a disaster. Every time she appeared, a storm was sure to follow!
