His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 744
Thaddeus squeezed his phone, “Evadne, I'll just take this call from Jareth.”
“Go ahead, Evadne urged softly.
In front of her, Thaddeus took every call openly, without any hint of secrecy or
evasion. He had no secrets from
her.
But at this moment, Evadne knew it was time for some brotherly talk. Thaddeus
rose and walked to the living room, standing by the window with concern in his
voice.
Jared, how are you? You doing okay?"
“Thad.”
It took a moment before Jareth spoke, his voice as raspy as a traveler parched
from too long in the desert, “I miss my girl; I miss Marilla.”
Thaddeus caught his breath, managing only, “Don’t worry; Marilla’s safe with
Grandpa. We're all keeping her company; she’s doing well.”
Thad, will I ever be with Marilla again? Can I still marry her?” Jareth asked
sentimentally.
Thaddeus* throat tightened, and he fell silent. He knew Jareth was head over
heels for Marilla, but whether Marilla would still choose Jareth, he too was
uncertain.
“Is it that if I clear up all the mess with the Fairhaven Group, you'll let me take
Marilla away?”
Ss
Jareth’s tone suddenly darkened, “Thad, help me.”
Thaddeus' eyes narrowed, “You're my best man, no need for words.”
“In the next few days, help me dig up all the dirt on the Fairhaven Group, as
much as we can get. Especially on
Barry.”
Thaddeus* heart clenched, he hurriedly said, “Jareth, Barry is your grandfather,
the real power behind the Fairhaven Group; don't do anything foolish!”
“Frederick is your dad, and I've seen you don't pull punches when it comes to
Evadne.”
Thaddeus was silent.
Indeed. He was a man who put justice before family ties, a bad example in the
eyes of his friends.
“I've made up my mind. Anyone who's crossed Marilla, anyone who stands in the
way of our marriage, won't be able to stand before me.”
Jared's voice was dark and resolute in the night, “Barry is the foundation of the
Fairhaven Group. Without taking him down, Gary can’t be uprooted, and that
wretched hound can't be beaten.”
“Jareth, you might get burned doing this!”
Thaddeus was genuinely worried, “Wait a bit longer; we'll find the right solution!”
“I can't wait... Every second away from Marilla is extreme agony for me!”
Jareth’s voice became increasingly uncontrolled, his hysterical roar breaking
through his heavy breathing, “If you were forced apart from Evadne, could you
bear it? Could you?!”
A sharp pain stabbed Thaddeus* chest, “Jareth.”
“For Marilla, I'd turn the Fairhaven Group upside down if I have to!”
With that, Jareth hung up, leaving Thaddeus with a sigh. He looked up at the cold
moonlight on his face, the chilly glow painting the silent night.

Chapter 744
Tonight, sleep would be elusive.
Seeing Marilla settling down, Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy left Grandpa's house for
their respective duties.
THE
Thaddeus, with no time to rest, headed straight back to the Abernathy Group
premises. After chairing the morning conference and meeting a key foreign
delegate in the afternoon, Thaddeus was about to sweet—talk his darling wife
when Mr. Murray's call came through.
“Mr. Murray, what's going on?" he asked warmly.
“Mr. Thaddeus Abernathy, are you free right now?” Mr. Murray's words were
evasive.
“Speak up.”
“This morning, Mr. Frederick Abernathy came and took Ms. Marilla Abernathy
back to Windermere Estate.”
Thaddeus expression darkened, “Wasn't Grandpa supposed to spend more time
with Marilla? Why so soon?”
“After Mr. Frederick Abernathy arrived, he and Grandpa went to the study.
Something they said must have set them off because they ended up arguing.”
Mr. Murray sounded worried, “Ms. Marilla Abernathy heard it all, of course. She's
always been the most obedient child in the house. When Mr. Frederick Abernathy
wanted to take her, she agreed without fuss.
I'm just a secretary; it's not my place to interfere too much. I hope you can look
out for Ms. Marilla Abernathy when you return tonight.”
Thaddeus sensed there was more to it and pressed, “Did you hear what Grandpa
and Mr. Frederick Abernathy were arguing about?”
“It seems...it was about Ms. Mary Abernathy’s marriage. Mr. Hamilton Abernathy
and Mr. Frederick Abernathy must have disagreed, leading to the conflict. But I
don’t know the details.”
The man rose abruptly from his chair, his face stern, “Understood. Don’t worry; I'll
take good care of Marilla.”
Marilla returned to Windermere Estate.
Now, with her mother gone, the servants saying Glynnis was to be sent abroad,
and her brother hardly ever home, preferring to be with his wife, the sprawling
estate felt more like a golden cage trapping her alone.
Marilla hugged her teddy bear, sitting on the living room couch, closing her eyes
in exhaustion. Everything with Jareth felt like warm, happy dream. Now that she
was awake, it was time to return to her place.

Glynnis, lugging a cumbersome

As the eldest daughter in the family, Glynnis had stayed at her parents and
grandfather's side the longest, and grown up showered with more love and
attention from her parents and grandfather than Marilla ever received.
But how the tables had turned.
Now, not only had she been cast out from the Abernathy family, but she didn't
even have someone to carry her luggage for her — a truly pitiable sight.
Marilla had already learned of all the things Glynnis had done to her from her
brother and sister-in-law.
She could neither forgive this so-called sister nor did she want to entangle
herself with her any longer. So she cast her eyes downward, hugging her teddy
bear, and tried to leave as if she hadn't seen a thing.

Glynnis' voice suddenly erupted, a
screech that was shrill and hoarse,
the volume tenfold from her usual
tone! Marilla halted, lifting her gaze to
meet the twisted face filled with
