His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 470

Evadne’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes widened as she locked gaze with Emeric’s dashing profile.

Thaddeus’s eyes were filled with a tumult of tension and worry, his body tout as a drawn bow, seemingly on the verge of dashing over to grab Evadine’s band and whisk her away without a second thought.

Others like Frederic and the members of the Fairhaven cli

clan, also had their colors drained from their faces.

Particularly Edith, whose heart hammered away like a runaway train within her chest, stared at Evadne with a mix of anxiety and spite, though her words dripped with disdain, “Well, well, well, Ms. Evadne has a fiancé now? I wonder which lucky gentleman has the pleasure of joining fortunes with the Ashbournes?

Frederic clenched his teeth fiercely. “No matter who the Ashbourne ally with, it will surely not be the Abernathy Group

Edith’s lips curled up in triumph, her hanging heart settling back into place.

Ford’s expression darkened visibly; he suspected Emeric was concocting a story to extricate his daughter, a mere excuse to brush off his

advances

At the derby, he had noticed Evadne’s closeness to Thaddeus, but such flirtations were dime a dozen in high society, it was nothing but a dalliance. If there had been a fiance, Emeric would have announced it there and then, not wait until now to drop the bombshell

William, on the other hand, appeared unfazed, smiling as he said, “So the young Miss already has a betrothed? Congratulations indeed, May Lask which fortunate family the young man hails from?”

Curiosity was piqued all around.

Emeric’s smile was gentle and unforced as he glanced fleatingly towards Thaddeus

Ford followed his line of sight and grimaced, knowing full well whom Emeric was observing

“Oh my! Thad! Am I seeing things? Is Chairman Emeric looking at you? Jareth exclaimed with a high–pitched voice, shaking the man’s arm like a hyperactive groundhog.

Thaddeus’s breathing was ragged, his forehead beading with sweat, but his voice remained deep, “Don’t overthink it Chairman Emeric is probably just using it as a pretext to fend off Ford.”

“And why would Chairman Emeric bother looking this way? Couldn’t he just tell a white lie and be done with it?”

Jareth was still visibly excited, ever the optimist. “It’s just us two here, and Chairman Emeric is definitely looking at you. He cant possibly be checking me

out!”

Thaddeus felt a tremor in his chest, struggling to control his breath

His intense gaze was fixed on Evadne.
