Chapter 406

Completely taken aback, they fell into an utter silence for a moment!

“Evadne.” her brothers were caught off guard.

They never expected that Evadne, who had always been tight–lipped about her marriage and treated it as a taboo, would openly admit today, in front of the media, that she and Thaddeus were once married!

Fearless and upright.

Once, she considered her failed marriage as a shame, a stain on her life, hence, she found it difficult to mention.

But now, she had let go of the dark past.

She and Thaddeus just met at the wrong time.

But luckily, they were meant for each other.

The next moment, the flashlights washed over Evadne and Thaddeus, drowning them in a sea of glaring exposure! Thaddeus quickly stepped in front of Evadne, shielding her from any possible harm!

“Ms. Evadne! Is it true that you and Mr. Thaddeus were once married?”

“Did you have a secret marriage? When did you divorce? Do you have children?”

“Why did you divorce? Was it because of Acacia’s intervention? Was there a third party involved?”

Reporters flooded Evadne with questions, each more piercing than the last!

“Yes, we divorced, but Evadne did nothing wrong. It was all me,”

Thaddeus‘ heart ached as he was about to take all the blame for their failed marriage, but Evadne suddenly gripped his hand tightly.

He looked into her brilliant eyes.

“You don’t need to say anything to them. It’s all in the past. I don’t need your explanation, and I don’t want to hear that name anymore.” Evadne’s voice was low and hoarse near his ear,

Thaddeus was choked with emotions, the pain unbearable.

For him, what was more painful than her resentment was Evadne’s understanding.

“As for the reason why Mr. Thaddeus and I divorced, it’s our private matter, so no comment,” Evadne said calmly, then turned her cold gaze back onto Elspeth and her daughter. “I’m telling you all this to prove that my words are not baseless accusations. I saw what Elspeth and Glynnis did with my own eyes. I hope that you will not be deceived by their hypocritical faces, and focus more on the victims.”

Evadne’s eyes shone with determination, her words rang true.

“I believe everyone here joined the media industry with the intention of seeking truth, to uncover the real source of tragedies, and to reveal the truth to the world. There are many places in this world where light cannot reach, and many innocent people are in dire straits. If even the media can’t speak for them, who else can stand up for them?”

Her passionate words had almost all the reporters on the scene putting down their cameras.

Yes, they were once passionate reporters with ideals and aspirations!

But the news environment in Elmsworth was so muddled with the major corporations controlling the media, making them afraid to speak out. The era of fast food information had given them a taste of the sweetness, making them focus more and more on celebrity gossip and the private lives of tycoons.
