His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 727
Not even Jareth’s objections could stop Thaddeus from bringing the unconscious
Marilla back to Havenbrook.
The incident had caused an uproar throughout the town.
Hamilton's first thought wasn't to blame Marilla for the Abernathy family's loss of
face, but to immediately bring his granddaughter to his side, to cherish and
protect her, shielding her from the wagging tongues of the outside world.
After suffering such a great shock, Marilla was once more given a sedative, and
her peaceful, beautiful sleeping face was a balm to Hamilton's tear-streaked
eyes, as if none of it had ever happened.
“Manilla, it's Grandpa's fault; I failed to keep you safe,” Hamilton's trembling hand
caressed the girl's pale, soft cheek, choking on his guilt.
“Don't worry, Grandpa Hamilton.”
Evadne’s eyes were also red and moist, “Marilla has not just you to cherish her,
but Thaddeus and I to dote on her. We'll pursue this matter to the end.”
Her fingers clenched tightly, emitting a sharp crackling sound, “Anyone involved
in this, anyone who hurt Marilla, I will make them pay dearly!”
Ms. Ashbourne was not one to break her word, and her words always came to
pass
“It was people from the Fairhaven family’s doing.”
Although Hamilton was advanced in years and frail in health, his mind was as
sharp as ever, his back teeth grinding in anger, “Even if they didn’t want Marilla
marrying in the Fairhaven family, they had no right to mistreat her like this! They
dare to bully my granddaughter, llana, you don't need to lift a finger; I will handle
this myselft*
Evadne’s heart clenched with worry for Marilla and for her grandfather's rage
possibly harming his health.
Mr. Murray knocked and hurried into the room, his face etched with concern.
“Mr. Abernathy, you have a call.”
Tm with my granddaughter; I'm not taking anyone's call!”
“It's Mr. Barry Fairhaven.”
Hamilton's eyes were bloodshot as he snatched the phone and pressed it to his
ear.
“After all this, what do you have to say?”
Barry's tone was surprisingly casual, “Mr. Abernathy, such an event truly is
heartbreaking; those who leaked the video are despicable beyond words!”
“You old fool, stop playing the victim in front of me!”
Hamilton was seething, eyes red, his hands on the arms of his wheelchair
bulging with veins, “The video was leaked from inside the Fairhaven Group, and
for all I know, it was you, old man, pulling the strings!”
“You!” Barry was so angry he could barely breathe, coughing a few times.
“I know what you're scheming. You're blind and can’t appreciate my precious girl,
but my Marilla doesn’t need to marry into the Fairhaven family! If it weren't for
Jareth throwing himself at my granddaughter, I wouldn't have spared him a
glance! You fucking dirty old man, you should wait somewhere for you death,
plotting against a twenty—year—old girl! Have you ho pride?! A great household, a
great family, more like a great beast, I spit on
that!”
no
Hamilton raged on, not giving Barry a chance to retort. Evadne listened on,
feeling a rush of satisfaction.
But, it was far from enough. Now, she was President of the K Group, and in the
future, on the business

battlefield, she would black every path for the Fairhaven Group, seize all their
projects and resources, gradually suffocating the Fairhaven Group in the small
town of Elmsworth
Even if Jareth became the CEO of the Fairhaven Group, she could no longer
care.
What the Fairhaven father and son cherished most was their company, and
whatever they cared about, she would destroy!
This was the price for touching Marilla!
Barry finally regained his composure and dropped the protense, tearing all
facades with Hamilton, “Heh, I came out of consideration for the relationship
between my grandson and your granddaughter, and you treated my good
intentions like trash, hurling abuse at mel Since you despise Jareth so much, and
your granddaughter is in such a state, out of her mind, she’s not fit to be the
Fairhaven family’s granddaughter—in—law. It's better to call off this engagement!
Instead of arguing with me, you might as well take your granddaughter to see a
doctor”
“You!”
Barry cunningly hung up the phone.
In a rage, Hamilton's face turned crimson, and Mr. Murray quickly brought over
water. Evadne Immediately began massaging Hamilton's temples to ease his
stress...
“Grandpa Hamilton, Barry called just to break off the engagement; he was just
balting you for a statement. Don’t be angry; let him have his moment of petty
victory. There will come a time when their family will weep,” Evadne’s eyes were
filled with icy resolve.
“I don't need that old cur to make a sound. I wouldn't let Marilla marry into that
den of thieves!”
Hamilton instructed Mr. Murray with a voice filled with hate, “Mr. Murray, spread
my word. From now on, the Abernathy Group will have no business dealings with
the Fairhaven Group! Any partner of the Abernathy Group who dares to associate
with the Fairhaven Group, once I find out, they will never be able to work with the
Abernathy Group again! Let's see who dares to stand with them!”
Mr. Murray nodded gravely, “Yes, Mr. Abernathy!”
“Grandpa Hamilton.” Thaddeus spoke with a furrowed brow, his tall frame
carrying a chill as he Evadne, “Jareth’s here, right outside. He wants to see you,
and Marilla.”
“Tell him to get lost!” Hamilton dismissed with a wave of his large hand.
approached
Mr. Thaddeus and Mrs. Evadne Abernathy exchanged a helpless glance. They
knew that Grandpa didn’t truly. hate Jareth.
But the fact that Jareth had failed to protect Marilla was undeniable, and yes, he
was Barry's own flesh and blood. To say there was no resentment would be a lie.
“If he doesn’t get to see you and Marillo, I'm afraid he won't leave,” Thaddeus
said, his voice deep and resonant.
Hamilton just stared at his granddaughter, silent. His stance was clear.
In the sprawling villa grounds.
Tonight, the temperature had plummeted. The cold rain mixed with bone—chilling
sleet fell unceasingly, casting a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere over the
garden.
Jareth stood resolute in the wintry mix, his handsome face paler than the snow.
The man had worn only a thin suit, standing for over an hour, his hair and body
soaked through, as if countless steel nails were piercing his flesh and driving
deep into his bones.
Dean had been sent to take care of things, and after Lily received a cursory
treatment for her wounds, she insisted on accompanying Jareth.
Even if she couldn't see Mrs. Fairhaven all night, that didn't matter; as long as
she could keep watch from afar, she was content.
After a long, silent vigil, with Jareth nearly frozen stiff, they saw two striking
figures approach under an umbrella.
“Mr. Fairhaven, it's Mr. Thaddeus Abernathy and Ms. Ashbourne, Lily struggled to
stand behind him, her lips already purple from the cold.

Thaddeus, his handsome features

sheltered Evadne, while he stood
mostly exposed to the elements. The

“Lily, heard you were hurt; how are you doing?”
Evadne completely ignored Jareth, her worried gaze passing over him to fall on
Lily's ashen face, “I'll have a look at you again in a bit.”
“I'm okay, thank you, Ms. Ashbourne,” Lily's voice was choked with emotion.
Because of her helplessness, Mrs. Fairhaven had suffered mental torment. She
felt she should be the one paying with her life; how could she accept any favors?
“It's no trouble at all. Come with me inside, and you can stay here tonight,”
Evadne said softly, without a hint of blame in her voice.
Lily's pupils contracted sharply, “Ms. Ashbourne.”
“We think Marilla must have been so shocked because she saw something
happen to you.”

“Thank you, Mr. Abernathy, thank you, Ms. Ashbourne,” Lily bowed deeply, her
tears silently rolling down her frozen cheeks.
Jason came over, following Evadne’s instructions to usher Lily into the villa.
“Mr. Fairhaven.”
Lily wanted to be with Marilla, but she couldn't leave her boss standing in
punishment alone. Her eyes burned with distress, torn between her duties.
“Go on. Being with Marilla is what matters,” Jareth said, his voice hoarse.
Lily followed Jason away.
