His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire
Chapter 492
Chapter 492
Jareth felt every hair on his body stand or end as he saw Evadne’s brother, Elvis, stride into the room with the casual swagger of a rockstar.
People called Jareth the “Grim Reaper,” but in the presence of Elvis, Jareth might as well have been Casper the Friendly Ghost. And since Elvis was Evadne’s brother, well, Jareth wouldn’t dare lift a finger against him.
“Mr. Fairhaven, I’m so sorry.” Lily panted, her gaze filled with regret as she looked at Jareth.
Jareth swallowed hard, his voice rising urgently, “Don’t be foolish! The mighty Elvis doesn’t stoop to brawling with women. That’s just bad form!”
“So what, I’m supposed to stand here and let she beat the daylights out of me?”
Elvis yawned with the indifference of someone who had seen it all, “Do I look like a masochist to you?”
His words left Jareth without a comeback.
He knew Lily too well; fierce and loyal, with eyes only for her master. Anyone who dared cross her boss would face her wrath, no holds barred.
“But you’re right, I don’t hit women.”
With a devil–may–care shrug, Elvis released his grip and raised an eyebrow suggestively, “Lucky for you, dollface, you’re a woman. Otherwise, I would’ve snapped those kitty claws of yours already.”
“Jerk!”
Lily was fiercely proud and couldn’t tolerate such humiliation. She clenched her fists, ready to go another round, but Jareth’s stern voice halted her.
“Lily! Stand down! He’s Ms. Ashbourne’s brother!”
Lily froze, her eyes wide with realization.
Her brother?
–
–
The man before her wild and untamed like a lone wolf was Evadne’s brother, the scion of the Ashbourne family?
Elvis playfully stuck out his tongue at the stunned Lily before turning a cool, hard gaze on Jareth.
“Evadne and Thaddeus, they’re with you, aren’t they?“.
Inside the room, there was a tender atmosphere.
Evadne noticed a bruise on Thaddeus’s face, a mix of shock, anger, and concern flitting across her features as she cradled his face, “Who did this? Tell me!”
“I fell on the way here,” Thaddeus offered a weak, wry smile, caressing her hands gently.
“Bull! You fell face–first? Are you that clumsy?”
Evadne’s cheeks flushed with anger, “When you visited the other day, did Emeric and my brothers rough you up?”
Thaddeus hastened to assure her, “No, really, it wasn’t that.”
“It was them! It had to be! You were in the peace corps, for crying out loud, you can handle yourself. Even Elvis could only hold his own against you! Who else could’ve done this to you unless you stood there and took it?”
she hesitated to touch the bruise, not wanting to cause more pain, “Even if you have a beef, there’s no excuse for hitting the face!
