His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 405

Chapter 405

Today, the only people present were members of the Ashbourne family.

Thaddeus, with a cool and composed demeanor, walked side by side with Evadne, completely unfazed by being the only outsider there.

On the contrary, this was the moment when he should be even more composed.

He needed to become Evadne’s rock, her steadfast support. He wanted to create an environment where she could completely let her guard down, feel completely safe around him.

Gordon trailed behind Thaddeus, breaking out in a cold sweat at the sight of all the brothers–in–law. When it was his turn to get married, he would make sure to avoid a family with so many older brothers. It was just too intimidating.

“Evadne!”

Everyone hurriedly approached, gathering around Evadne.

Seeing Thaddeus, the Ashbourne family’s expressions weren’t as unpleasant as before.

In the past, they might have given him the cold shoulder.

“Thank you for everything in these past few days.”

Evadne then turned to Nydia, who was pushing Jason in his wheelchair, and thanked her for taking care of Jason, “Thank you, Nydia. You’ve really helped me a lot.” “We’re family, Evadne. You don’t have to thank me.” Nydia replied, her heart warmed by Evadne’s words.

“Jason, get well and treat my sister well.”

Evadne moved forward, taking Jason’s hand in her left and Nydia’s in her right, firmly linking thern together, “I hope that from now on, the person you’ll protect with all your might is Nydia.”

Tears welled up in Jason’s eyes as he looked past Evadne to the man standing tall and strong behind her.

Yes, it was time for him to step back.

His girl already had someone to protect her, someone far stronger and more reliable than him.

Thaddeus silently watched Evadne’s slim but strong figure, his heart softening. He longed to hold her close and announce to the world – she had him and that was enough. A few minutes later, the ceremony officially began.

Just then, Elvis, who had been outside for some fresh air, quickly approached Evadne with a grim expression.

“Evadne, we have a problem. I don’t know who leaked the news, but a bunch of reporters just showed up!”

“What?” Evadne’s eyes widened in surprise, “Elvis, you’re usually so careful. Everyone here is part of our family, so no one would’ve leaked the news!“.

“According to our people, the bodyguards outside are from the Abernathy group.”

As he spoke, Elvis glanced meaningfully at Thaddeus.

“It wasn’t me,” Thaddeus stated firmly.

“I know.” Evadne raised her hand in a commanding gesture. “If I had any doubts about you, I wouldn’t have invited you here.”

Thaddeus was visibly moved by her words.

“The only people who would benefit from this are Elspeth and Glynnis. They know best how Erica died. They’re simply waiting and longing for this day. They’re always looking for a chance to make a scene in front of the media and improve their public image. If they dare to make trouble at an Ashbourne family’s event, they’re just asking for trouble!”

Her commanding presence swept away all objections. Even Thaddeus and Elvis felt a chill run down their spines.
