His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 361

Glynnis felt like she was dealing with a madwoman who had made such bold claims.

After all, Thaddeus was the CEO of the Abernathy Group, a power player whose influence was far–reaching. Even Frederic didn’t daunt him; what could the Fairhaven family possibly do?

However, she didn’t feel the need to point this out. She’d rather sit back, watch them make a spectacle of themselves and wall for the whole of Elmsworth to laugh at their folly.

“Sure, whatever makes you happy. Here’s to a long and blissful marriage with Thad!” Glynnis said, clutching her aching face, her congratulations grudging.

“By the way, remember when you told me about Mr. Bartley’s son? The one who was interested in you, but you didn’t feel the same and turned him down?” Edith suddenly changed the topic.

Mr. Bartley’s son? She remembered.

Her mother, Elspeth, had taken her to a golf course to meet the Bartleys. The intention was clear: to introduce her to him.‘

But the Bartleys didn’t take a liking to her and even Mrs. Bartley, the Mayor’s wife, had wanted to meet her dimwit sister instead. That was a real humiliation!

Later in order not to be debased by others, she had boasted to Edith that the Bartley family were interested in her, but she felt she could do better, so she had asked her mother to reject their proposal.

“Ah, why bring him up all of a sudden?” Glynnis asked, annoyed.

“Oh, nothing much. Just that he’s currently pursuing me,” Edith said, a triumphant laugh escaping her lips.

Glynnis was taken aback. She scoffed, “You’re about to become the CEO’s wife of the Abernathy Group. Surely you wouldn’t give a second thought to the son of a mere mayor, would you?”

“Of course, Thad is the only one for me. So, I turned him down. But he said he really likes me and would do anything for me. Anything!” Edith’s laughter grew wilder, a hint of malice seeping through.

“What do you mean? What are you planning?” Glynnis asked, sensing the sinister undertone.

“I want him to marry Marilla.”

Glynnis drew a sharp intake of breath. She was astounded by Edith’s audacity. What kind of a crazy demand was that for a suitor?!

The Fairhaven family had really raised a lunatic!

“You are Marilla’s sister, after all. So, there are certain things that I can’t do and will need your help. To make this marriage happen.”

Edith laughed leisurely, a hint of cunning in her voice, “My family are rich and influential. If Marilla marries into an ordinary family, my brother wouldn’t give up on her. Only if Marilla marries into a powerful family like the Bartleys, will my brother’s hopes be completely dashed, eliminating any chances of them being together.”

What a deep–seated scheme!

“I still remember how you ‘helped me last time. Almost landed me in jail, didn’t you?”

Glynnis was livid, her eyes turning red, the pain from her facial wound making her sweat, “And now you want me to help you again. Why should I?!”

“Well, I’m about to become your sister–in–law. Isn’t it important to maintain a good relationship with me?”

Edith drawled, adding, “Besides, Marilla did steal the man you love. You must be holding a grudge, right? Who else could help you get your revenge if not me?”
