His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 304

Jareth’s thunderous rage left Edith deeply traumatized.

In front of her, Jareth’s secretary and Manny were dealt with. Manny, who had been with Jareth for so many years, had his tongue cut off. Judging by his condition, he might not last much longer.

All because of a girl named Marilla.

Was Jareth really going to this extent for a fool? What was she, his own sister, compared to that? She felt like a cruel joke!

Leaving the villa, Edith returned to the Fairhaven mansion, her face dark with resentment.

On the way, memories of Jareth’s past affection for her flooded her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more upset she became, crying all the way. Eventually, she made a decision.

No matter what it took, she had to break up Jareth and Marilla. She couldn’t allow such a foolish and lowly woman to become her sister–in–law!

“Edith! You’re finally back!”

Mrs. Fairhaven, Jareth’s mother, hadn’t seen her daughter in a long time. She rushed to embrace her, her eyes filling with tears, “Darling, didn’t your flight land ages ago? Why are you just now getting home? I’ve been worried sick!”

“Mummy.” Edith’s eyes reddened at the sight of her mother, recalling the humiliation she had endured.

“What happened, sweetheart? You seem upset. Has someone been bothering you?”

Mrs. Fairhaven hurriedly asked, “Where’s Jareth? Didn’t he pick you up? Why didn’t he come back with you?”

Edith hung her head, shaking it sadly.

“Jareth! He used to pamper you so much. Now he’s been neglecting you because of that Abernathy girl and shipped you off to Aetheria. He didn’t even bother to pick up his own sister when she returned home so late! What the hell is he thinking!”

Mrs. Fairhaven comforted her daughter, stroking her cold cheeks, “Jareth hasn’t been home at all these days! I know he’s usually busy, but he’s never been completely out of touch before. He never comes home and doesn’t care about his own sister. I really don’t know what he’s thinking!”

“I know why Jareth hasn’t been coming home.”

“What?” Mrs. Fairhaven was taken aback.

Edith clenched her fists, her voice filled with sadness, “Mummy, I have to tell you something, but you have to promise not to lose your temper, okay?”

“What’s happened, Edith? Don’t scare me!”

“Jareth is dating Elspeth’s daughter.” Edith gritted her teeth.

“Who? Elspeth? That shrew’s daughter?” Mrs. Fairhaven was indeed shocked, speechless.

“Yes, Glynnis’s younger sister, Elspeth’s daughter!”

Edith clung to her mother’s arm, shaking it, “Mummy! What on earth is Jareth thinking? Elspeth and her daughter caused such a scene, even accusing us of wrongdoing and nearly sending me to jail! It hasn’t been long since then and Jareth is already involved with Glynnis’s sister! How could he do that? He doesn’t care about me anymore!”

Mrs. Fairhaven was also upset by this news. After all, in her eyes, her son was a pride and joy. She knew the Abernathy family was influential, and her son was close with Thaddeus,

But she still comforted Edith, “Edith, I don’t like Elspeth’s daughter either, but you know your brother. He enjoys making connections, and he’s acquainted with most of the noble girls in Elmsworth, but he’s never brought a girl home before, never found one to his liking. It’s normal for him to be interested in Elspeth’s daughter given his frequent visits to the Abernathy family. But I think, soon, he’ll lose interest in her. It has always been like that over the years.”
