His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 760

Chapter 760

“Aaron,” Marilla gazed at the man, her doe eyes sparkling like they were washed with spring water.

The sight of Aaron, with his unexpected presence, instantly dissolved her anxiety. Beside Aaron stood an elegant and proud woman, Suri, Aaron’s mother.

Marilla’s heart leaped into her throat. Mr. Bartley, a seasoned politician, was known for his diplomatic prowess, something Marilla had overheard from her mother Elspeth.

Given that, if Mr. Bartley invited people of the Abernathy family, it was highly unlikely that he would also invite those from the Ashbourne family. That would be like putting two tigers on one mountain!

Sure enough, the Bartleys‘ expressions darkened, and Frederic’s face turned stormy.

Mr. Bartley, red–faced and awkward, stammered, “Mr. Frederic Abernathy, this – this was unforeseen. We did not send an invitation to the Ashbournes.”

Frederic offered a sardonic smile and waved his hand dismissively, “It’s no matter. We’re in your home, Mr. Bartley. Such trifles need not concern me.”

The Bartleys were sweating bullets. Anyone with eyes could see Mr. Abernathy was not pleased.

Whispers arose among the guests.

“My, who is that striking man standing with Mrs. Suri Ashbourne? He’s a vision!”

“Such poise, such spirit! If only I had a daughter, I’d be knocking on their door for a marriage proposal!”

“Dream on! That gentleman is the rarely seen Mr. Aaron Ashbourne. Since the unfortunate demise of the fifth son in a plane crash, Aaron has become Suri’s sole treasure. She’ll be picky about her baby boy’s bride.”
