His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 451

Evadne felt a surge of fury rise within her, her fists clenched tight.

That snake–tongued weasel! Blatantly twisting the truth. He was the one with murder in his heart, and now he was trying to sling mud at Thaddeus, stirring up trouble and driving a wedge between Thaddeus and the Fairhaven Group, all to ensure Barry’s unwavering support.

“Thaddeus, this is a matter of honor for both our esteemed families. You mustn’t take it lightly!”

Elspeth assumed her role with a commanding presence, feigning concern for Thaddeus while seemingly looking out for the greater good, “We know that since the divorce, you’ve felt indebted to Ms. Ashbourne. It’s only natural that you’d want to champion her cause after her mishap.”

“Champion her cause? Elspeth, what on Earth are you implying?”

Gary’s patience was wearing thin, his eyebrows knitted in disapproval, “When did the Fairhaven family ever offend Mr. Thaddeus Abernathy to deserve his wrath? Are we to be treated as pushovers, as mere punching bags? Do not test our limits!”

His words ignited a firestorm among the Fairhaven Group; their gazes upon Thaddeus were seething with animosity.

“Oh Gary, it’s a misunderstanding. What beef could Thaddeus possibly have with the Fairhaven Group? He and Jareth go way back, allies through thick and thin.”

Elspeth’s lips curled into a mocking smirk, her cold gaze flickering towards Evadne, “The one with a bone to pick is Ms. Ashbourne. The whole of Elmsworth know about the bad blood between her and Ms. Edith Fairhaven – like oil and water, they are. Now that Evadne’s had an accident and the Fairhaven Group nearly clinched the competition, it’s clear she’s not over it. Thaddeus wanting to seek justice for Ms. Ashbourne isn’t all that surprising.”

The crowd was stunned!

It was no secret that Evadne and Edith didn’t see eye to eye. But to fabricate such a tale to smear the Fairhaven Group’s name, was this really happening? Emeric’s face was a canvas of frost, his lips pressed into a thin line. Such vile and despicable antics were beneath him. To even spare another glance at this woman would be an insult to his own dignity!

Just as Thaddeus and Cassius were ready to speak up, someone else beat them to the punch.

“Elspeth, I never thought that after all these years, you’d still be so unrepentant.”

Myra, usually timid, stood her ground, her eyes flashing defiance, “Twenty years ago, you were a master of deceit, and it seems you haven’t changed one bit. You’re still as vile and venomous, unfit for polite society! But you’ve picked the wrong target this time. Evadne, with her grace and benevolence, has done countless good deeds, helped so many. Her reputation in Skyrim is unassailable, not something you can tarnish with a few twisted words! I’m not the same Myra you used to trample on. You can use your venomous tongue to backstab and humiliate me, but don’t think for a second you can hurt Evadne!”

Everyone was dumbfounded!

__Myra, true to her appearance, was gentle as a stream, and this was probably the harshest she had ever spoken. She stood up not for herself, but because

she couldn’t bear to see Evadne bullied by that wicked woman.

“Myra.” Evadne’s voice was choked with emotion, fighting back tears.

“Ha, Mrs. Myra Ashbourne, when have I ever wronged you? Be careful not to spit venom that isn’t there.”

Now you feel emboldened, don’t you? Having become the noble Mrs. Ashbourne and bearing a daughter for Chairman Emeric, you think times have changed. You’re using this as an excuse to seek revenge, aren’t you? Hahaha,
