His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 533

In a heartbeat, the room temperature seemed to plummet to sub–zero levels.

Evadne’s eyes widened, a sour swell of grievance churning in her chest, “Nydia, what are you implying with that?

“Do you mean to say that I’m someone who only cares for my family’s safety, indifferent to the lives of others, utterly selfish?”

The sisters, who had been thick as thieves since childhood, were now for the first time, at loggerheads.

Thaddeus‘ heart raced with anxiety, the awkwardness leaving a bitter taste under his tongue. He gently tugged at Evadne’s sleeve, trying to placate her, “Evadne, Nydia would never think that of you. Don’t take it to heart.

“Me, taking it to heart? Then let her explain what she meant by that!” Evadne pulled her sleeve out of Thaddeus’s anxious grasp.

Thaddeus felt a pang of distress, his lips pressed into a thin, disheartened line.

She could face the outside world’s scorn with composure, but this time, it was clear she was genuinely incensed

He knew all too well that what troubled her most was being misunderstood by those close to her. It was agony more excruciating than scraping the flesh from her bones.

“Evadne, you haven’t answered my question.”

Nydia, unyielding by nature, slowly stood up and asked again, word by word, “If I wasn’t your sister, would you still stop me?”

“If your question is based on the assumption that I’m a selfish person, then I won’t dignify it with a response.”

Evadne, struggling to contain her anger, spoke in a low voice to Thaddeus, Thaddeus, get the car ready and take Nydia home.”

The sisters parted on sour terms.

After Nydia left, Evadne stormed into the kitchen and flung open the fridge, chugging down a whole bottle of ice–cold water, desperately trying to cool herself down physically.
