His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 735
After a night of reckless indulgence, Glynnis was roused by a waitress in the
bathroom of the club. Without even a moment to cleanse herself of the night's
debauchery, she slunk out the back door, with her head hung low.
As she emerged into the daylight, it was already the afternoon of the following
day.
There was no way Glynnis could show her face at Windermere Estate in such
disarray. So she made a beeline for her perennially reserved luxury suite at the
Abernathy Hotel. There, she washed away the grime and the scent of men, while
her mind was flickering with vivid memories of the previous night's fervent
encounter with the strapping male model.
Damn, that was one hell of a ride.
Too bad she hadn't snagged his contact details. She definitely wanted a round
two when she had the chance!
After cleaning up and slipping into the fresh clothes brought by room service,
Glynnis transformed back into the polished Ms. Acacia and called for her driver to
take her back to Windermere Estate.
The moment she stepped through the door, laughter and jovia
parlor.
“Are we expecting guests?” Glynnis asked the butler.
conversation wafted from the direction of the
“Yes, Miss. The Bartleys have come to visit with their son. Mr. Frederic is chatting
with them now.”
Glynnis was taken aback, realizing that Alston, the fool, was seriously pursuing
her sister, just as she had predicted.
She quickly tidied her hair and plastered on a genteel smile before entering the
parlor.
“Daddy, I see we're playing host,” she said as if she had stumbled upon the
gathering by chance. “Oh, it's Mr. and Mrs. Bartley, and Alston. Good afternoon,
everyone.”
Frederic subtly scowled at the scent of alcohol on her, but maintained his
composure in front of the guests.
The Bartleys, who wouldn't give Glynnis the time of day even if their lives
depended on it, offered her a half-hearted smile and returned to their tea.
Alston, the coward, couldn't even bring himself to meet her eye, putting on an act
of the upright and earnest
suitor.
It was as if he wasn't the same man who had been caught in a scandalous tryst
with Edith just nights before.
“Mr. Frederic, we're so sorry to hear Marilla isn't here today,” Mrs. Bartley
chirped. “Alston brought her some gifts and was hoping to give them to her in
person.”
“Our son's always been shy around girls, blushing at the mere sight of them,” Mr.
Bartley added with a chuckle, while giving his son an encouraging pat on the
shoulder.
Glynnis couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter — the tension in the room was
palpable.
The Bartleys' smiles froze, and Alston felt his forehead beaded with sweat,
fearing Glynnis would expose his
secrets.
“Daddy, I can attest that Mr. and Mrs. Bartley aren't just boasting. Alston and I
went to the same school, and he truly is a diligent and honest man.”
She gave Alston a knowing look, whose face had turned ashen, “Alston and
Marilla would make a perfect match. He'd be an ideal son-in-law for the
Abernathy- they're well-matched in every way.”
Frederic’s expression darkened at her words.

Having overstayed their welcome, the Bartleys quickly took their leave. “Mr.
Frederic, once Marilla is back, let's

set another date for the kids to meet,” Mrs. Bartley insisted, eager to secure the
union.
Frederic coughed uncomfortably, “As you've seen in the news, my daughter's
mental state.”
“Oh, Mr. Frederic, our visit shows that we don't mind Marilla’s condition in the
slightest. We don't care at all,” Mr. Bartley interjected with a hearty laugh.
“Alston’s been smitten with Marilla since their school days, and after seeing her
at the Chambers Group gala, he’s been head over heels. The concerns you have
are non-issues for the Bartleys!”
Mrs. Bartley added, “In fact, our Alston and your Marilla are practically childhood
sweethearts!”
A cold smirk twisted inside Glynnis.
Childhood sweethearts, indeed, but not with Marilla.
Frederic seemed somewhat relieved by their words.
After leaving Windermere Estate, the Bartleys settled into their luxury car, with
the couple sitting on one side and Alston facing them.
“It seems Mr. Frederic has a good impression of you,” Mr. Bartley said, relaxing
into his seat. “You're right. Although that girl isn’t worthy of you, marrying her
could benefit my campaign. And if you become Frederic's son-in-law, your
political career will skyrocket.”
Alston remained stoic, his eyes filled with resentment.
Mr. Bartley sneered at his son’s dejected demeanor. “The girl has her issues, but
that's an advantage. She won't be able to cause trouble in the Bartley family. In a
few years, if her condition worsens, you'll be her primary guardian, and the
Abernathy fortune will be at your disposal.”
“Son, your father’s political future hinges on you,” Mrs. Bartley said, her eyes
gleaming with ambition.
Alston looked out the window; recalling Edith’s instructions, he felt his heart sank
into darkness.

Frederic's hawk-like eyes narrowed, his enigmatic gaze flickering ominously.
“At this point, Marilla and Jareth are definitely off the table. My daughter, Marilla,
won't be left hanging on that one branch.”
At his words, a wicked smile curled wildly at the corners of Glynnis“ mouth.
“But I wonder who could be in cahoots with the Fairhaven group to frame my
daughter.”

Her smugness lasted but a fleeting moment before Glynnis“ breath hitched, her
heart leaping to her throat!
Just then, commanding footsteps were heard outside the living room.
Thaddeus walked in, followed by Mr. Murray and Hamilton in his wheelchair.
The man stared unblinkingly at Glynnis“ tense face, but his words were directed
at Frederic.
Indeed, it seems we have a rare instance of seeing eye to eye this time.
