His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 715

Chapter 715

It was 10 AM on the dot when Ms. Ashbourne’s Rolls–Royce, as steady as a temple, pulled up in front of the K Group headquarters.

A handful of company bigwigs, bouquets in hand, lined up outside to greet her. Before she took over the K Hotel, she was merely considered as Chairman Ashbourne’s “love child“. Having gone through tons of setbacks, she’d carved her own path in Elmsworth, and acquired a name for herself in the cutthroat world of business.

The lobby had been meticulously prepared for her arrival, with an opulent red carpet rolled out and a welcome ceremony of the highest order awaiting her.

No one dared to underestimate Ms. Ashbourne.

Inside the car, Jason, seated shotgun, adjusted his tie and peered through the rearview mirror at Evadne, who was resting with her eyes closed, “Ms. Ashbourne, we’ve arrived.”

Evadne’s pretty eyes fluttered open.

Jason’s eyes lit up with an earnest curiosity, “Ms. Ashbourne, your blush is quite fetching today -rosy with just a hint of pink. Might I ask the brand? I’d like to get one for Nydia.”

Evadne’s cheeks flushed a deeper shade, her mind flashing back to two hours earlier when she lay beneath Thaddeus, flushed and blossoming.

His hands had caressed her waist, lingering with a possessive tenderness.

Could she admit the blush was called “Guilty Conscience“? Cursing the man who still left her weak in the knees, Evadne deftly changed the subject, glancing towards Jason’s impeccably tied necktie, “Nice tie, Jason. Nydia’s gift?”

“Ms. Ashbourne, how did you know?” Jason’s perpetually youthful face turned a shade of pink.
