His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 343

Meanwhile, at the Fairhaven Estate.

Just like Hamilton, Mr. Barry didn’t live with his sons, but had his own sprawling estate. It was a tad smaller than the Abernathy’s Windermere Estate, but it was still one of the top ten estates in the country.

By now, the whole Fairhaven family, from the highest to the lowest, knew about the situation. Even the servants were gossiping about Edith’s scandal over their coffee breaks.

Given that Thaddeus and the Abernathy family hadn’t said a peep about it, Edith came off like a woman who’d been used and discarded. The Fairhaven name was dragged through the mud with no dignity left.

“Hey, has Ms. Edith arrived?” The maids huddled together, whispering.

“She’s here, crying in Mr. Jareth’s study, oh dear. She’s really having a rough time!”

“What’s the use of crying? As the Fairhaven heiress, how could she be so reckless? A woman’s reputation is everything. She’s been caught in an ambiguous situation with the CEO of Abernathy, her clothes all askew. Who would want such a woman?”

“Thaddeus might. They were seen at a hotel together something must have happened. Now that it’s out, Thaddeus has to take responsibility!”

“Hmph, I don’t see him stepping up. It’s clear he’s trying to shirk responsibility.”

“Aren’t Mr. Jareth and Thaddeus friends? How awkward this will be.”

“Shh! Quiet down, here comes Mr. Gary!”

The servants quickly retreated, bobbing curtsey as they greeted him, “Good day, Mr. Gary!”

The man walking up the stairs, with his meticulously combed hair and dapper navy blue suit, was none other than Barry Fairhaven’s second son, Jareth’s uncle, Gary Fairhaven.

With a smile on his face, Gary passed by them, leaving a word of warning, “You gossiping hens, I may let it slide, but if my nephew hears you, beware your tongues.”

The maids were silenced, shivering in fear.

“Grandpa, Grandpa! You must stand up for me! I can’t face people anymore!”

Edith flung herself into Barry’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably, her eyes swollen like little fishballs.

“My dear granddaughter, don’t cry anymore! You’re gonna ruin your eyes!”

Barry patted Edith’s trembling back, his own eyes filling with tears. “Don’t worry, your mother can’t handle this, Jareth can’t handle this, but I will!”

“Dad, you’re absolutely right.”

Gary strolled in, feigning seriousness. “Edith is my brother’s pride and joy, the apple of your eye. Now that she’s been mistreated by that Abernathy brat, we can’t just sit back.”

“Uncle Gary.” Edith cried even harder.

“Gary, you know about this?” Barry looked troubled.

“You know our stature in Elmsworth. Any whisper of scandal turns into a storm.”
