His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 449

Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Gary’s discomfort was palpable, his face flushed with discomfort.

“Evadne! You’re alright, thank God!‘ Myra’s voice quivered with tears, her relief overwhelming.

Emeric, now indifferent to the importance of the business deal at hand, sighed with relief as he saw Evadne unharmed. The usually unflappable tycoon, whose demeanor had always been as solid as a rock, now had his suit soaked through with cold sweat.

His eyes found Thaddeus, who had remained steadfast by his daughter’s side. In his tender gaze, there was only room for Evadne. As the president of the Abernathy Group, his every move was scrutinized. A false step could lead to scandal, even ruin, yet he seemed not to care. It was as if he could live without the crown, but not without Evadne.

In a moment of reverie, Emeric thought of Evadne’s biological mother. He too had once knelt before his father, willing to forsake wealth and power, just to keep the woman he loved by his side.

Eventually, he married again and again. People labeled Emeric a playboy, heartless and unfaithful. Rumors even circulated that Mrs. Ashbourne had died of a broken heart, unable to bear her husband’s remarriages.

No one could see through his thoughts, not even his children. But it didn’t matter. He knew she understood and that was enough. “Ms. Ashbourne, am I wrong?” Gary asked with a smirk, a sinister gleam in his eye.

“You’re right. But the problem is, those poor creatures never met me.”

Evadne’s eyes shone brightly, and despite her injuries, her confident smile was undiminished, radiant and captivating, “With my healing hands, I can bring a dying horse back to life.”

The crowd exchanged glances, marveling. Anyone else boasting so might be dismissed as full of hot air. But Evadne had a charm about her, her arrogance didn’t repel but intrigued people, making them wonder what surprises she might bring.

Ford cocked his head, looking at Evadne with an amused expression.

“Well, the sky’s the limit for some, eh? That’s quite the tall tale.”

Glynnis crossed her arms and sneered, thinking herself cool when in fact, she looked twisted and sick, “You killed the horse yourself, and now you’re spinning this yarn to deceive Mr. William Morris and Mr. Ford Morris, aren’t you?”

Edith cackled from behind her grandfather. Evadne nearly broke herself, and that million–dollar horse was done for. In the end, her Ashbourne Group project was gone, and she’s scorned by William, his son, and all of Elmsworth – a total loss! Serves she right!

“Evadne has set Wind’s leg right.”

Thaddeus‘ eyes shone with a fierce light that startled Glynnis into a shiver, “Not only that, but Dr. Chasel Bright from the Bright family sent over their biopharmaceutical company’s latest anti–inflammatory drug. It’s effective on humans and shows remarkable results on animals like horses as well. So, the infection from Wind’s cut didn’t spread, and his life was saved.”

Cassius allowed himself a small smirk, recalling the tall figure in a white coat and the gentle gaze that followed.

Meanwhile, Chasel was at home, furiously tapping on his phone screen, his display picture was none other than Cassius‘ handsome face.

“Damn it! He never calls me unless he needs something. I wanted to be the one who attracts him most not someone who he would only contact when it’s needed!”

The crowd was stunned, their incredulous eyes turned to Evadne.

“Mr. Abernathy, you mean Evadne fixed the horse’s leg? A horse’s leg can be reattached?!” Jeff’s eyes bulged in disbelief.

“Of course, Mr. Chambers. Have you forgotten that Evadne has another identity?”

Jareth’s eyes twinkled as he revealed the secret, “Evadne is the renowned ‘Dr. Eve‘, worshippe clueless, but surely you knew, right?”

Evadne internally rolled her eyes. Why don’t you say I’m immortal and ruler of all, huh?!

“Ah, yes, of course!”
