His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 297

Late into the evening, Jareth’s private jet touched down at Elmsworth Airport.

Edith, her lustrous chestnut curls cascading down her shoulders and draped in a luxurious fur coat, gracefully descended the jet’s staircase and slipped into a waiting limousine.

Ever since the Glynnis scandal, Jareth had confined her to the mansion, even confiscating her phone, cutting her off from her friends in an attempt to prevent any further bad. influence.

She had resorted to tears, tantrums, and even threats of a hunger strike.

Mrs. Jareth, torn between her love for her daughter and her son’s firm stance, eventually convinced Jareth to lift the house arrest and allow Edith to return to Aetheria for some self reflection

As winter set in, Jareth reluctantly let Edith go

Edith, who had been cooped up in Aetheria for so long that she felt she was going stir crazy, was imate at Jareth for not visiting her even once.

“Where’s Jareth? Why didn’t he come to pick me up?” Edith snapped at Manny, one of Jareth’s bodyguards, her feet relentlessly kicking the seat in front of her where Manny

sat

Manny had watched Edith grow up and, despite being one of Jareth’s most trusted men, had spent a considerable amount of time with her over the years. His gaze was soft as he looked at her, but his voice was hesitant.

“Mr. Jareth has been quite busy.”

“Jareth has changed! He’s not treating me well anymore!” Edith’s eyes filled with tears and she began to beat the leather seat with her clenched fists. “He used to always pick me up no matter how busy he was! He hasn’t even called me once in all this time! He doesn’t care about his sister anymore!”

She cried and wailed, and then broke down into uncontrollable sobs

Manny watched, his heart aching

Finally, he gathered his courage and whispered, “Miss Edith, there’s something I need to tell you. You must keep your composure” “What is it?” Edith asked, taking the handkerchief Manny offered and dabbing at her tears.

“The reason Mr. Jareth hasn’t contacted you is he’s been entangled with Ms. Manilla.” Manny’s face was serious.
