Chapter 750
Evadne felt a tightness in her chest, signaling to Jason to walt before questioning
closely Arnold, “Is this true? Are you certain?!”
“Mr. Bartley has always been cautious over the years. He wouldn't spread rumors
without solid evidence. That's why he’s managed to navigate politics so smoothly
for so long.”
Arnold's tone darkened, “So, I believe it's true. Evadne, Ms. Marilla Abernathy is
facing an arranged marriage, isn’t she? To wed without love, will she be content?
Can she find happiness?”
Marilla, of course, was far from willing! There must be some deep, dark secret
behind it all!
“Grandpa and Mr. Frederic Abernathy disapprove of Jareth, and they despise the
entire Fairhaven Group. But Marilla mustn't marry Alston Bartley either!”
“Evadne, you know Mr. Bartley’s son?”
Evadne clenched her fist, her knuckles cracking, “That man, shallow as a puddle,
with his sly, slim eyes the spitting image of a conniving weasel!”
Both Arnold and Jason were silent.
“Arnold, thanks for the important info. I'll cook up some pork knuckles for you
when I get home, your favorite.”
After hanging up, Evadne took a deep breath to calm her nerves and turned to
Jason.
“Jason, what's happened?”
“Ms. Ashbourne, as you instructed, I've been keeping tabs on Glynnis. Our
people followed her to the airport in country Z, where she was whisked away
upon arrival and is now safely in country M.”
Jason's eyes flashed with intensity, “Country Z is a backwater, a melting pot of all
sorts. But country Mis a
developed nation, a dazzling world. Surely someone couldn’t bear to see Glynnis
suffer and b
moved her to country M.”
secretly
“It must be Frederic’s doing. Not only because he can't bear to see Glynnis in
hardship but also to trouble Thaddeus,” Evadne was visibly distracted, her
thoughts with Marilla, who was trapped in dire straits.
“Don't forget who's in country M, Ms. Ashbourne,” Jason reminded gravely.
A faint chill flickered in Evadne’s attractive eyes, “You mean, Chad Abernathy?”
“He’s been out of sight for years, and we've had no clue about his standing within
the Abernathy family, his character, or his relations with the rest. I'm afraid that
with Glynnis in country M, she might enjoy Chad's favor. If so, wouldn't Mr.
Thaddeus Abernathy’s efforts be in vain?” Jason's face was etched with concern.
Evadne’s rosy lips were pressed slightly, “I doubt it. Chad hasn’t had contact with
the rest of the Abernathy family members for years. Only recently has he been in
touch with Thaddeus, and he’s had no interactions. with his half-sister Glynnis. If
he wanted to help Glynnis, he would've done so openly, not sneak around like
this.”
Jason nodded thoughtfully.
“Besides, I'm not concerned with whether Chad will help Glynnis. What interests
me more is her current condition,” Evadne’s lips were curled up faintly, her
sarcasm thinly veiled.
*Rest assured, Ms. Ashbourne, our people have followed her to country M and
will continue to keep a close watch on Glynnis.”
Evadne’s gaze turned uneasy again as she glanced at her watch.
Jason, have the car ready.”
Where to, Ms. Ashbourne?”

At the thought of Thaddeus, a warm rush filled Evadne’s troubled heart, her eyes
misting over, “Let's pick up Thaddeus from work.”
As night fell and the city lights came to life, after the meeting, Frederic and
Thaddeus, flanked by secretaries and bodyguards, made their way towards the
grand entrance of the Abernathy Group building. Father and son, blood should
have bound them, but their silence spoke of a chasm deeper than that between
strangers.
Stepping outside, Frederic issued his command.
“Join me on my private jet to Spring City. I have a golf appointment with
Chairman Temple tomorrow morning, followed by a business cocktail event in the
afternoon. It’s vital for our future projects there.”
Before, Thaddeus could respond, the piercing sound of a horn sliced through the
air — a majestic Rolls-Royce pulled up before the Abernathy men.
Thaddeus' eyes lit up, his heart pounding with anticipation. The car door opened
before Frederic; he couldn't discern the face inside, only hearing a sweet
pleasant voice, “Mr. Frederic Abernathy, you don’t mind if I pick up Mr. Thaddeus
Abernathy from work, do you?”
Frederic’s breath hitched at the sound of Evadne’s voice. Before he could utter a
word, Thaddeus had eagerly slipped into the car, not even bothering with a
farewell.
No sooner had he entered than he intertwined his fingers with his beloved's,
kissing her soft hand with tender affection, oblivious to the world around them.
Frederic's expression darkened, his inner thoughts scathing, “No shame, no
dignity!”
“Sorry, Mr. Frederic Abernathy.”
Thaddeus wrapped his arm around Evadne’s waist, his voice bland, “I'm afraid I
can't join you for golf in Spring City with Chairman Temple.”
“Thaddeus, remember who you are!”

Thaddeus gazed deeply into the eyes of the young woman before him, his voice
melting with tenderness as he gently kissed her forehead, “Rather than going out
and wasting time, I'd much prefer to stay home and spend it with my wife.”
Frederic clenched his fist in fury, feeling a surge of anger boiling up in his throat.

A crease formed between Frederic’s brows, “What do you mean?”
“Three days ago, Chairman Temple agreed to partner with our K Group for the
joint development.” Evadne’s radiant smile was bloom like the most delicate of
flowers, “Just saved you a pretty penny on private jet fuel.”
“What are you talking about. How is that possible?!” Frederic’s face was a picture
of shock.
Thaddeus spoke calmly, “Chairman Temple and Chairman Ashbourne have been
close friends for years. The Temple Group and the K Group have collaborated
more than once; I've been aware of this long ago. It's just that you've never taken
my word for it.”

With those words, the door of the Rolls-Royce closed, and the car sped away,
leaving a trail of dust. Frederic stood there, stunned, inhaling nothing but car
exhaust!
