His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 763
Edith's eyes widened in disbelief as she glared at Alston.
That face she stared at was now flushed with anger because of Marilla!
She sensed a subtle shift in Alston’s demeanor towards the girl who was once
dismissed as a fool. Previously, he had looked down on her with disdain, but
now, he seemed to seethe with a jealous rage.
“No, I won't let this go!”
Alston's temples throbbed with fury. “We had an agreement. Marilla was
supposed to marry me. She must be my woman, and no one’s going to take her
from me!”
Before he could finish, Edith straddled him; with her naked body pressing against
his waist, she slapped him hard across the face—twice!
“Edith, what the hell are you doing?!” Alston was completely taken aback.
“Alston, you've gone too far! Didn't you swear you'd only ever love me? That I
was the only one in your heart?”
With her eyes ablaze, Edith choked him, and her hands tightened with fury. She
wished she could strangle him to death. “But all the signs point to it, you've fallen
for that idiot! Tell me! Have you fallen for Marilla?!"
“No, I haven't. Edith, I swear! My marrying her was just to get back at you. It's all
for you!" Alston wrapped his arms around her waist, struggling to speak as the
suffocation grew more intense.
Yet, it only fueled his excitement further.
“Alston, I'm warning you.”
Leaning in close, Edith patted his cheek and hissed through clenched teeth, “The
Fairhaven family rose from the streets. Making someone disappear without a
trace isn't hard for us. If you betray me, I'll make sure you won't even know how
w you died, got it?”
Alston shivered with fear, but his thoughts uncontrollably drifted to the girl with
the graceful dance moves, soft as a whisper, held in Aaron's arms.
His fists clenched in secret.
Just then, Edith’s cell phone rang with an unfamiliar number.
Getting up and wrapping herself in a bathrobe, she answered the call irritably.
“Who is this?"
Silence came from the other end.
“Speak up, you mute?”
“Edith, living the good life, huh?”
Glynnis* voice sounded as if it was filled with gravel, deep and hoarse, which sent
a shiver down Edith’s spine. Gly.Glynnis? Aren't you supposed to be..."
“Heh, you thought that with Thaddeus shipping me off, I was gone for good and
I'd never come back, right?”
Glynnis laughed bitterly, “Unfortunately for you, I'm like a bad penny. I always
turn up. I'm back!”
Edith’s hand trembled on the bathrobe.
She knew Thaddeus and Evadne had reach and influence everywhere. Without
high-level help, how could Glynnis made it come back?
But she didn’t have time to dwell on it. She asked coldly, “What do you want?”
Glynnis laughed maniacally, “In this world, the meek ones are trampled, and the
kind ones are bullied. I was too

1 should have had a bunch of thugs take care of Marilla!
And I should have her killed, have her body crushed into pieces, ground and
chopped slowly, so I could make Jareth, Thaddeus, and everyone in the
Ashbourne family suffer for life, and regret for life!”
Edith felt a chill in her chest, feeling convinced that this woman had gone mad.
“Your plan sounds solid, but murder comes with a price. If you dare, what's the
point of coming back? For enjoying the comforts of a prison cell?*
“You're right, so what I said was just out of anger. I have my plans.”
Glynnis stopped laughing and said with a voice cold as ice, “This time, it's only
about revenge; I got to make Marilla suffer like I did. So, old partner, we need to
work together one more time — probably it would be the last time.”
Edith’s brow furrowed. Now, with the Bartley family’s deciding to break off the
engagement, her plans had been ruined.
Now Glynnis was as unpredictable as a rabid dog, perhaps even worse.
If Glynnis was used wisely, she could solve all her problems once and for all. But
if mishandled, it could. backfire.
As she hesitated, Mrs. Fairhaven’s call came through.
Edith steadied her breathing, “I've got an important call; wait for my
arrangements, and I'll get back to you.” After hanging up, she immediately picked
up her mother’s call, and her tone shifted to a coquettish purr: “Hello, Mommy~"
Mrs. Fairhaven sighed with worry, “Edith, come with me to the hospital to see
your uncle tomorrow. Your grandfather will be there, too.
“Uncle was in the hospital?”
IT
“Your uncle was seriously injured by your brother—his arm's broken and forever
maimed. He's been in and out of consciousness, not doing well. I didn’t want to
scare you, so I kept it from you.”
“What?!” Edith was stunned.
It was not exactly Gary but herself she was worried about. When the lips are
gone, the teeth will be cold. Jareth was truly out for blood this time.
+
With her knowledge of her brother, this was just the beginning of his vengeance.
He wouldn't let Gary off the hook so easily.
It was clear that messing with Marilla came at a high price!
“Edith, your brother has changed; he’s ruthless now, and doesn't recognize his
family anymore!”
Mrs. Fairhaven was deeply concerned for her daughter, so she advised
earnestly, “I know you've suffered a lot, and your brother has been too hard on
you. But now he’s in charge of the Fairhaven group, so fighting him is just asking
for trouble!
Listen to me, stop making trouble for that Abernathy girl. In a while, I'll help you
emigrate to Aetheria, and we'll never return to ElImsworth, okay?*/
Upon hearing of the Bartley family calling off the engagement, Mr. and Mrs.
Abernathy excitedly popped open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
Evadne sat perched on a wine cellar table; with her slender frame draped in
Thad's oversized white: button-down, and her shapely legs shimmering, she
clinked glasses with the man across from her.
“Mr. Thaddeus, we've won the first battle, and we can finally catch some Z's
tonight,” she said with her cheeks rosy and a playful glint shining in her eyes.

Thaddeus, bracing himself against the table with one arm, drew her into his
embrace; his eyes were swirling with restrained desire. Unable to hold back any
longer, he captured her lips with ferocity.

“Are you sure we'll get that good night's sleep?” Thaddeus murmured against her
flushed lips, his voice husky and enticing.
“You've been working hard lately, haven't you? And you're not getting any
younger. Can your back handle it?” Evadne teased, and her face was warm with
laughter.
“I bet even at eighty, I'll still have an edge over the other gents,” Thaddeus
replied with a smirk, while nuzzling her cheek with his thin lips.
Evadne decided to stop their playful banter and turned serious. “Speaking of

Thaddeus’ eyes narrowed.
He knew that once this news reached Chairman Emeric, the charade would have
to become reality.
After all, Thaddeus had heard from Evadne that Chairman Emeric would stop at
nothing to see his sons married off.
The man himself had married four times there was nothing he wouldn't do.
“Hey, I don’t mind Marilla becoming my sister-in-law. Just not sure if Mr.
Thaddeus would mind calling his own sister “sister—in-law,” Evadne teased him
with a mischievous squint in her eyes.
“As long as Marilla is happy, I don’t mind a thing, but.”
Thaddeus“ gaze turned somber, “I still hope to give Jareth another chance. Their
coming together wasn't easy.”
“I know, that is why I had Cassius hold Emeric off,” Evadne said; it seemed she
was attuned to his thoughts.
He smiled in relief and leaned in for another kiss when a knock on the door
interrupted them.
“Miss, Mr. Thaddeus, may I have a word? There’s news from the States!”
Evadne, dressed rather provocatively, clearly hadn't expected Jason to come to
discuss business at such a late hour.
Thaddeus quickly wrapped his suit jacket around her before opening the door to
let Jason in.
“Miss, Mr. Thaddeus, I hope I'm not interrupting anything?” Jason said, noting the
couple's flushed faces. Having known the signs, he couldn't help but let his
imagination wander.
“It's fine. Business first,” Thaddeus said while kneeling in front of Evadne and
carefully buttoning up the suit jacket for her to prevent any indiscretions.
