His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 681

In Elmsworth, the long–absent Marilla finally managed to secure a spot as an audit student at the prestigious Elmsworth Academy of Fine Arts, thanks to the strings pulled by Jareth.

Already a week into her new life, Marilla sat quietly at the back of the classroom, shielded by a large canvas. Despite her attempts to remain inconspicuous, her striking beauty didn’t escape the attention of the boys in class. Their necks craned so often towards her that one might worry about their spines by the end of the lesson.

But Manilla was focused solely on her art, her pencil dancing across the paper, oblivious to the fact that she was the wolf den’s newest interest.

She treasured this opportunity to lears, an opportunity Jareth had fought hard to give her. She intended to absorb every lesson like a sponge, not daring to let her mind wander even for a second.

As the afternoon class ended, Marilla began to pack her art supplies. A group of the lads nudged one particularly handsome boy towards her Mustering courage, he awkwardly approached the last row where Marilla sat.

“Mrs. Fairhaven, sorry for the delay. I got tied up with a phone call,” Lily, as swift as a gust of wind, arrived beside Marilla, deftly gathering her art supplies and gently guiding her by the waist.

Lily’s icy gaze swept over the boys, her steely eyes enough to petrify them where they stood. While Marilla was a beauty, Lily was a force to be reckoned with!

“What do you think you’re doing? Are you trying to hit on a married woman?”

Married woman?!

The boys stood dumbfounded, their hearts sinking at the thought that such a flower was already plucked from the garden.

“Our lady is married, gentlemen. Lay eyes on her again, and you’ll be slapped with harassment charges,” Lily warned, though originally she intended to say “you’ll lose your eyes“; yet considering they were Marilla’s classmates, she softened her words, skipping the bloody scene she might have created.

As they left the classroom, Marilla’s cheeks were flushed, and she shyly lowered her gaze.
