His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 440

Chapter 440

The crowd gasped in shock.

“Seriously? Edith, hitting herself?”

Her face was swollen, was she really that ruthless to her own self?

Edith’s face drained of color, her swollen cheeks turning ghostly pale, “Evadne, what the heck are you babbling about? Have I lost my mind to hit myself?”

“I think you’ve totally lost it,” Evadne tutted, shrugging her shoulders. “Not only have you gone bananas, but you’ve also scared the daylights out of me. I’m being generous not hitting you up for emotional distress compensation, and you’re trying to sling mud at me? Just because you’re a Fairhaven, you think you can spit venom?”

The room erupted in clamour!

Flashbulbs frenzied over Edith’s ashen face!

“Miss Ashbourne’s integrity is beyond question, right? She’s always been into charity and social work, even helped that poor Abernathy family servant with funeral expenses. She wouldn’t frame Edith, would she?”

“Even if Ms. Evadne did lash out, there must’ve been a reason, right?”

“Maybe it was a catfight over jealousy, but still, hitting someone is not okay! I have my reservations about Evadne’s character!”

Evadne was utterly sick of these petty female brawls. If Edith wanted to scheme against her, couldn’t she come up with something more sophisticated?

Innocence needed no defense. Being misunderstood didn’t faze her.

Besides, someone had swollen her own face; it seemed like a win for her.

Just as Evadne was about to leave the drama behind, an anxious shout came from outside the crowd.

“Edith! What happened to you? Who’s messing with you?”

The crowd parted, and Barry, surrounded by the Fairhaven family and flanked by bodyguards, hurried over.

“Grandpa. Mommy.” Edith’s eyes brimmed with tears, her lips quivering pitifully.

Seeing her daughter with hair askew and swollen cheeks, collapsed on the floor, and Evadne looking down with icy disdain, Mrs. Fairhaven naturally assumed Evadne was the bully.

“Someone help Edith up!”

At Barry’s command, bodyguards rushed forward, forming a human shield against the prying cameras.

“Oh, Edith!”

Mrs. Fairhaven embraced her daughter immediately, shooting daggers at Evadne with her eyes, “Ms. Evadne! If you have a beef with me, come at me, but why bully my daughter?”

“Mommy, don’t get upset, take care of yourself, I’m okay. I’m fine.” Edith comfortingly patted her mother.

Such a heartbreaking scene.

At that moment, the Ashbournes arrived, stirring the atmosphere further.
