His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 706

“Marilla.” Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy were both stunned in disbelief.

A smile graced Evadne’s lips, a touch of gratitude in her gaze as she looked towards Marilla, warmth blooming in her chest.

“My wife is right. Spreading rumors and causing trouble in front of Mr. Thaddeus and Ms. Evadne–do you think the Abernathy Group and our legal department are here for nothing?”

Marilla’s straightforward nature took over, her frustration directed squarely at Avery, “A true friend wouldn’t be as cold–blooded as you are. You’ve really let her down.”
