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.

Instead, it held an icy chill.

Was this the woman Jason was head over heels in love with? Pampered, arrogant, sharp–tongued!

To bring such a troublesome woman into the Dempsey household would only cause chaos. Peaceful days would be a thing of the past!

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!

Cedric’s abilities as a lawyer were undisputed, and Frederic had always wanted him on his side. But he didn’t know about this connection between him and the Ashboumes, which made him uncomfortable.

“So, Mr. Cedric has a hidden past with the Ashbourne family.”

Thaddeus’s words were directed at Cedric, but his deep gaze never left Evadne, “So, it appears that Ms. Evadne is the daughter of your family’s benefactor. Is this how you repay her kindness, Mr. Cedric?”

Evadne frowned, countering his words.

Was he defending her? Taking sides with her, an outsider, in front of his own family?
