His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 442

The arrival of the Morris family added a subtle edge to the atmosphere.

Frederic and the folks from the Fairhaven estate were quite warm towards them. Though both were from well–to–do families, there was no need to brown–nose, but their cordiality was markedly warmer compared to their attitude towards others.

Only Thaddeus sat aloof and handsome as a statue by Frederic’s side, his gaze heavy with unspoken passion as he stared unwaveringly at the love of his life.

At that moment, Emeric was Winding something to his daughter Evadne, the pair deep in serious conversation, the young woman listening intently, oblivious to the burning gaze that nearly bore holes into her.

Suddenly, Thaddeus’s chiseled face darkened like a storm cloud passing overhead.

Avery had just lifted his champagne flute, leaning forward and completely blocking his line of sight.

The next second, he slowly turned to face him, a teasing smirk on his lips as he raised his glass in a mock toast.

Thaddeus felt as if his blood had turned to ice in his veins, his face casting deep shadows as he clenched the stem of his wine glass so tightly it might snap!

Avery arched an eyebrow, lazily sipping his drink, his expression and smile nothing but provocative!

CRACK-

Thaddeus’s breath caught, and he crushed the stem of the glass, which fell to the floor, drenching him in champagne.

“Oops! Thad, you’ve stained your shirt!” Edith’s attention was entirely on Thaddeus. She sprang up like a jack–in–the–box and rushed to his side.

Then, to everyone’s shock, she knelt down and began to dab at the wet spots on Thaddeus’s trousers with her handkerchief!

The crowd was speechless.

This was a bit too much, wasn’t it? The Fairhaven heiress demeaning herself like this?

Barry and Mrs. Fairhaven were livid, their faces turning an ashen hue. Gary, seeing his niece made a spectacle of, felt no shame but rather seemed amused, barely containing his laughter.

And this chuckle was caught by Jareth, his beautiful eyes narrowing.

But he didn’t plan to intervene. In his eyes, Thaddeus should seize the opportunity to let Edith make a fool of herself, hopefully teaching her a lesson to never again covet a taken man!
