His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 374

Yet, in the moment when Thaddeus and Evadne locked eyes, the surrounding chatter seemed to fade into silence, as if the world had ceased to exist.

Upon Dolores saw the man she fancied, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

She quickly pulled out her compact, powdering her nose and fixing her appearance. With a heart beating like a wild rabbit, she tip–toed towards Thaddeus. However, before she could reach halfway, a group of elite debutantes flocked towards him, leaving her stranded on the outskirts.

Dolores clenched the hems of her dress in frustration.

Why was it so hard to get close to this man?

And Evadne, how did she manage to marry such an outstanding man, surrounded by admirers like a moon amidst the stars? Why was fate so biased, letting all the good catches fall into her lap?

The more Dolores thought about it, the more upset she became. With her red eyes brimming with determination, she bulldozed her way to the front.

Seeing Thaddeus within reach, she pretended to lose her balance and hurled herself towards him.

Thaddeus scowled, trying to sidestep her, but the crowd around him rendered him immobile. Dolores crashed into his arms.

The overpowering sweet perfume emanating from her måde his head spin. He wished he could just push her aside.

“Oh, I’m so sorry, Mr. Abernathy. I lost balance. I’m truly sorry.” Dolores‘ hands pressed against his chest, a coy smile on her face. But inside, she was jubilant.

No man could resist a woman who threw herself at him, especially a woman as beautiful as her. However, when Dolores raised her watery eyes to meet Thaddeus‘, a shiver ran down her spine.

Those charming eyes stared at her without any emotion, so cold that made her shudder with fear.

At that moment, Elspeth and Glynnis descended the staircase, witnessing the scene.

Glynnis had just barely recovered from her facial surgery, her scars hidden beneath a thick layer of makeup.

“Who’s that woman clinging onto Thaddeus?” Elspeth asked, yawning.

Just last night, she had a secret rendezvous with that young, handsome doctor while her husband Frederic was out of town. They had done it all the night, causing her a slight backache.

Oh, the vigor of youth.

Elspeth felt rejuvenated after knowing that young doctor, feeling like she was springing back into her youth.

“Let me see.”

Glynnis squinted, racking her brain before recalling, “Oh, her name is Dolores Ashbourne. She’s from the Ashbourne family.”

“The Ashbourne family? Since when did they have such a vixen?” Elspeth grimaced. It seemed like Dolores‘ behavior was all too familiar for her.

Indeed, it took one to know one….

“Her dad is Emeric’s younger brother, who only holds a nominal position in the family business. So no matter how much she stirs up trouble, she can’t make much of a splash,” explained Glynnis, her eyes filled with disdain, “I couldn’t even recognize her at first. I heard she’s addicted to plastic surgery. She must have undergone medical cosmetology lately.”
