His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 356

Evadne, her mind a whirlpool of emotion, zoomed back to her villa in Elmsworth.

She originally had set out to deal with Elspeth, but on her drive back, all she could think about was the image of Thaddeus pushing her against the wall.

The man’s fiery gaze was locked onto her. Her own reflection in his passionate eyes was dark and sorrowful. His anger was tinged with helplessness and humiliation, an image she couldn’t shake off, Her fingers, while–knuckled around the steering wheel, felt numb as if zapped with electricity.

His eyes were loaded with affection.

But what did it prove?

Even if his gaze could pierce through her, it couldn’t hide the fact that he was still the same old Thaddeus, secretly sleeping with Edith behind her back!

Stepping out of her car with a gloomy expression, Evadne was surprised to see Cassius, Aaron, and Jason, already waiting for her at the entrance of her villa. “Evadne!”

“Cassius, Aaron, Jason. Why are you all here?” Evadne asked surprisingly, trying to muster up.

“We heard from Aaron that you went to the Abernathy family alone without even taking Jason. What were you thinking, girl? Going on a solo mission?”

Cassius sighed with worry, stepping forward to wrap an arm around her shoulder, “But then I heard Thaddeus was home tonight too. I was relieved. With him there, he wouldn’t let you be wronged.”

“Why wouldn’t I be wronged if he was there?” Evadne frowned, her lips pursed in displeasure.

“He cares for you, and he’d protect you.”

“What a poor joke, Cassius.”

Evadne’s heart lurched, her tone becoming even more resistant, “I was his wife for three years, three years in which I was humiliated and wronged in the Abernathy family because of him, and he never once stood up for me. Now we’re not even strangers. Why should he defend me?”

“That’s right, Cassius.”

Aaron stepped forward, hands in his pockets and a smirk on his face, “Thaddeus is a heartless, ungrateful guy. Even if he didn’t love Evadne, she was still his wife, and he had the duty to protect her. But look at what he’s done! As the saying goes, a leopard never changes its spots. See, he just started pursuing Evadne and he’s already back to his old tricks!”

“Aaron, what tricks?” Jason asked, oblivious to the situation.

“He’s back to his old flame, Edith, Jareth’s unlucky sister!” Aaron’s tongue was as sharp as ever, a trait inherited from Arnold and Elvis, even better than them.

Jason coughed lightly, not commenting.

“Well, Aaron, you have a way with words. Speak some more.” Evadne nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Cassius’s gaze hardened, looking past Evadne to a distance behind her.
