His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 233

The auction came to a dramatic close filled with unexpected twists and turns.

it wasnt just the record breaking sum of charity raised by Ethereal Vogue magazine that evening. The reporters on the scene were having a field day, unearthing one juicy scoop after

another

Frederic, upon hearing the news, promptly dispatched his secretary and attorney to the scene. They escorted Elspeth and the visibly shaken Glynnis to the car amidst the crowds scrutinizing gazes.

It was apt to describe their ext as a hasty retreat

1 am the legal counsel for the Abernathy Group, Miss Caroline if you don’t have concrete evidence to back up your public accusation of Miss Glynnis bribing you to steal K Hotel’s business information, we wit sue you for defamation. And we will take it to the end!” The lawyer issued a stern warning before leaving

Caroline, faced with the prospect of a lawsuit and up against the formidable Abernathy Group, was naturally frightened. But what scared her more was Thaddeus intimidating presence. He was a man who could turn her world upside down with a single thought.

Right now, he was standing there, his handsome brows furrowed, watching her without a hint of emotion

Caroline flinched but managed to muster up the courage to retort, 1. I wouldn’t have said it if i didn’t have evidencel Don’t think I’m scared just because you’re rich and powerfull

I’ve changed my ways now, and I won’t be coerced into doing something against my conscience ever again!”

“Mr Thaddeus, what should we do about this “The lawyer turned to Thaddeus, clearly at a loss

Thaddeus expression remained impassive, his tone icy. “Tell Mr. Frederic that his opponent isnt Miss Caroline, but the entire K Orld Hotel

Thaddeus thought. “And me.”

Now it was the lawyer’s turn to be taken aback

Evadne was the heiress of the Ashbourne family. If this situation escalated, they would be offending the entire Ashbourne Group!

The Chairman Emeric, CEO Cassius Ashbourne, and the Bright family none of them were pushovers It was truly a case of stirring up a hornet’s nest “Apologize when you should, take responsibility when you must. Distorting the truth and aiding the wicked will only make us the laughing stock.” Thaddeus sneered, and then turned to look for Evadne

To his surprise, she had already disappeared. Once again, his warm heart was left in the cold.

Ins had other important engagements to attend to. Evadne accompanied her to the underground parking lot.

“Miss Evadne, you truly impressed me tonight”

this gave her a warm hug. 1 knew Cassius sister wouldn’t disappoint.”

“That’s because you see me through the lens of being Cassius’ sister, Evadne smiled modestly

“No, from the moment I met you, I admired your demeanor, your ideas, and your perspectives. I believe we could be great friends,” Iris confessed sincerely

“Um Cant we be great family?” Evadne teased.

tris blushed at the implied suggestion, “Darling, I’m turning fifty next year. As much as I adore Cassius. I can’t hold him back

“What’s wrong with being fifty? My dad and his wife. Myra, have a twenty five-year age gap. I see them enjoying ther Ives together every day”

Evadne gave Iris a hearty pat on the back, Miss Ins, life is short. Don’t make choices you’ll regret. If you truly like my brother, go for it. Even if things don’t work out in the end, at least you won’t have any regrets.”

“Alea “Iris suddenly called her by her other name, “Have you ever made choices you regretted? Do you have any regrets in your life?”

A sharp pang of pain pricked at Evadne’s heart. The dark corner she had sealed off in her heart seemed to have been brutally torn open

But she simply smiled, “To be honest, yes. I have made choices that I regret But now, I dont have any regrets at all”

She regretted her marriage with Thaddeus

But she had no regrets as well, because she had married him

It seemed contradictory, but it was her true feelings.

After Inis left, Evadne was immediately swarmed by a group of excited reporters. Without Jason or any bodyguard by her side, she felt cornered despite the reporters’ lack of malintent “Miss Alea! How do you plan to hold Glynnis accountable for copying your designs? Will you sue her?”

“Glynnis instigated that female reporter to leak K Orid Hotels business secrets, causing your partnership with Ada to fall through. Will the K Group take the Abernathy Group to court?” “Ada has already stated that she will cut ties with the Abernathy Group. Will the two of you reconcile and continue to work together?”

After a long day of events, faced with these questions, Evadne felt a wave of exhaustion hit her. The pain in her stomach returned with a vengeance. But despite the sweat on her forehead and her pale face, her eyes still spackled, and she stood tall, showing no signs of illness.

Before Evadne could respond, a tall figure broke through the crowd, protecting her from the growing chaos. She looked up and was slightly dazed

The next moment, a clear voice rang out, “All these questions will be addressed in a statement by the K Group after the event.”

“Ms Evadne isn’t feeling well. Please make a way, I need to take her to the hospital”

Evadne’s pupils constricted, her eyes locked on Avery, whose expression was clouded with worry.

This man hadn’t been seen by her side all evening. How did he know she was unwell?

Memories of her three years of humiliation and heartache streamed back to her. Thaddeus had never shown any concern for her. Even when she miscarried, when she was bedridden and asked him to bring her a glass of warm water, he coldly denied her

Even if he didnt know her condition at the time, his denial of such a small favor showed that he neither cared for her nor valued her

They say that love is defeated in the details, and if that was the case, her love for Thaddeus was riddled with holes and utterly defeated in those three years.

Did the regret it? Yes, she did

But she had made her choice, and she could blame no one else © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

A bead of sweat trickled down Evadne’s forehead, causing a pang in Avery’s chest. He swiftly supported her, his arm wrapping around her delicate wast

Are you feeling bad?” he asked, his voice low

“Yes Evadge breathed, every word intensifying her pain
