His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 483

Tonight, Silverlake Harbor was ablaze with lights, and the town was destined for a sleepless night.

Emeric, a passionate collector, was in a towering rage this evening, smashing a few antique vases worth millions to pieces. In an instant, priceless porcelain lay in ruins on the floor!

Three ladies stood rigidly before Emeric. Myra clung to Suri’s hand in panic, while Aviana’s heart was in turmoil.

“So you all knew.”

Emeric trembled all over, rage boiling in his veins, “You all knew and kept it from me for three years, a whole three years?!”

“Emeric, we kept it from you because we didn’t want to see you suffer, to be heartbroken.”

Suri tried to speak calmly, her voice low, “Your health hasn’t been good these past few years, Such news would have been too much for you to bear.” Emeric, towering and imposing, swayed and then bitterly laughed, pointing at them with eyes full of fury, “You, what a way to please me, keeping Evadne and Thaddeus’s marriage from me? Her honor ruined, and you kept it from me? This is what you call for my own good?!”

“Emeric! Don’t take it wrong; that’s not what Suri meant!”

Myra tried to hold back tears and explain for Suri, but Emeric interrupted her with a harsh tone, “Ha, of course, after all, you’re not her birth mother; how could you truly care for Evadne? All those times you played the happy family in front of me, was it all just an act? If she’s not born of you, how could you possibly cherish her!”

“Emeric! How can you say that?!”

Aviana, with a fierce glare and narrow eyes, stepped in front of them, and was promptly held back by Suri, “I’ve been with you for nearly twenty years, and Suri and Myra have been with the Ashbourne family even longer! Pretending for a year or two is one thing, but who could keep up such a facade for twenty years? Evadne can no longer bear children; do you think we don’t feel that pain?! We were more heartbroken than you when we found out.” As she spoke, Aviana, a woman who hardly ever shed tears, even when she took two bullets to save Emeric and almost lost her life, only bled and never wept, was now overcome with grief, crying a river.

“When Evadne had that accident, fearing that you, that the Abernathy family would find out, she hid in a small clinic in Elmsworth for a whole month. During that month, it was the three of us who took turns caring for her. To cure her, Suri even went back to the Bright family, kneeling at the doorstep begging Mr. Bright to treat Evadne.”

Emeric’s pupils contracted sharply, his heart clenched tight.

He knew Suri, knew she had severed ties with the Bright Group, always prideful and untainted by the world. Yet for Evadne, she had knelt before them – what strength of spirit it must have taken, a pain more unbearable than death itself.

“We know it’s wrong to keep this from you. But back then, besides hiding it for Evadne, we had no better solution.”

Myra couldn’t help but cry as well, “Emeric, what’s the use of being angry now? Even if you drive us all away, what Evadne has lost can’t be restored.”
