His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

The birthday feast was about to kick off.

Seeing the room filled with esteemed guests, Evadne couldn’t help but smile at the sight of Emeric and Grandpa chatting away at the front of the room. “Well, I’ll be! Is that Mr. Hamilton?”

“Yep, it sure is! Mr. Hamilton is aging like a fine wine, isn’t he?”

“It’s rare to see such a close bond between Mr. Hamilton and Chairman Emeric these days. If you didn’t know better, you’d think Chairman Emeric was Mr. Hamilton’s son!”

“I heard Mrs. Abernathy is also having a birthday bash tonight. Hamilton skipped his own family gathering to attend Chairman Emeric’s. Intriguing, isn’t it?” Laughter echoed among the guests.

“It’s clear as day that Mr. Hamilton doesn’t approve of his daughter–in–law, Elspeth! For the past six months, with allegations of bribery, auction fraud, and even her niece making a fool out of Mr. Thaddeus, it’s no wonder Mr. Hamilton is not fond of her!”

“I’ve seen Mr. Thaddeus with Chairman Emeric’s daughter, Miss Evadne, they seemed quite a match. Remember that auction scandal? Mr. Thaddeus seemed to defend her. Do you think there’s a chance for them?”

Upon hearing this, Evadne frowned.

“Unlikely, I suppose.”

“Why so?”

“Remember that ugly breakup with his ex, the girl from the Stirling family? He was the talk of the town. Miss Evadne, being so dignified and proud, could she really handle that baggage?”

Evadne nodded in agreement.

“Exes are like cockroaches in the kitchen of a restaurant. You can ignore them until they crawl onto your dining table. No matter how much you tell yourself it doesn’t matter, it’s still nauseating! Mr. Thaddeus might be a catch, but Miss Evadne can do better than someone with a ‘record.”

Evadne nodded again in strong agreement.

“Enjoying the gossip?”

Evadne suddenly looked up, surprised.

When did Thaddeus get here? He was now standing beside her, a gentle smile on his face, his eyes glowing softly as he looked at her.

“I didn’t eavesdrop!” Evadne quickly turned her face away, biting her lower lip.

She’d been caught!

“They were mostly right, but they missed one thing.”

Thaddeus gracefully took a seat, beside her, his gaze on her slightly flushed face. “I don’t only have a past, I have an ex–wife.”

“So, are you proud of that, Mr. Thaddeus?” Evadne crossed her arms, smirking.

Seeing her getting a bit upset, Thaddeus gave a bitter smile. “Evadne, there’s no pride left in me when it comes to you.”
