His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 730
Glynnis clapped a hand over her mouth; it felt like her entire worldview was
shattered into smithereens!
Sure, she was known to play the field herself, but at least she maintained a
veneer of decency.
Edith, on the other hand, had tossed all semblance of propriety out the window.
Not only did she flaunt her tryst right in front of Glynnis, but she also managed to
do it with a hint of bragging in her lust-filled expressions!
And how come this trainwreck of a woman had the audacity to dream of marrying
Thaddeus and becoming the lady of the Abernathy empire!
She wasn’t even qualified to dream about him!
Alston, on the other hand, was the scion of a well-connected family. He had
some restraint, at least. With an audience, he couldn't bring himself to act on his
desires.
“Edith, I can’t do this.”
“Pfft! You're useless!”
With a look of disdain, Edith pushed him fling into the pool; her glistening form
emerged from the water as she snatched a towel from the lounge chair and
barely covered the essentials.
Alston plunged back under the surface, to appease his capricious girlfriend
desperately, but with Glynnis there, he dared not emerge.
“What are you on about, Glynnis? Everyone in the Elmsworth elite knows you're
the wildest one of all. Don’t play the innocent with me,” Edith drawled while
lighting up a cigarette and taking a deep drag.
Glynnis ground her jaw with anger, but she couldn't help admiring Edith’s nerve.
She remembered that back in their school days, Alston was always Edith’s ever—
waiting backup. And now, nearly a decade later, he was still hung up on her.
Though the Fairhaven group was rolling in dough, their shady foundations made
them pariahs in political circles.
But if Edith could snag a connection to the Bartleys, with their clout, the
Fairhavens would have an inroad to politics, and their business would also grow.
“Please, don't tell me you dragged me out here in the dead of night just to watch
you two get it on,” Glynnis spat, plopping down without any pretense of
politeness.
Edith blew a smoke ring right at her, with a smirk on her lips. That dimwit sister of
yours was back at the Windermere Estate?”
“No, the old man picked her up.”
“What's his take on it?”
“From what I hear, he’s livid. Looks like it just got harder than a trip to the moon
for Jareth to marry Marilla again.”
Glynnis couldn't hide her schadenfreude as she spoke, and her voice was
dripping with malice, “Now that Marilla’s “condition’ is open to the public, her
disgrace is all over the internet. Not just the Fairhavens, but every reputable
family in EImsworth will shun a woman with her issues. She’s damaged goods
now. My father cares too much about his dignity to let an Abernathy marry into
ridicule. They'll probably keep her hidden away for life!”
As Glynnis laughed, she thought of how Elspeth had pinned all her hopes on
Marilla.
If Elspeth could see now that Marilla would never have a happy marriage, would
she turn in her grave, or come back to haunt her?

Ha, as if
That woman never deserved to be a mother. Both Glynnis and Marilla were
nothing but tools for her to leverage. in the Abernathy game of wealth.
“Who said no one wants her? I've just lined up a splendid match for her.”
Edith’s smoky gaze landed on Alston, “Alston, you better make me proud and
marry Marilla soon.”
Glynnis stared at Alston in disbelief, her eyes widened in shock.
What was this?
Alston’s marrying Marilla?!
With a man of his pedigree actually liking her, she was going to hand him over to
that nitwit?! Had Edith lost her mind?
“Edith, I can’t stand to lose you,” Alston murmured, his eyes locked on Edith as
he swam to the edge of the pool. Edith, impatient as ever, kicked his shoulder,
“Didn't I tell you to talk to your parents? What did they say?”
“They also think Marilla’s a lost cause. They don’t want to mix with that.”
“That's why you have to insist that she’s the only one for you. Moreover, you
need to convince them that the benefits of an alliance with the Abernathy
outweigh the drawbacks.”

“Edith, you're brilliant.”
Alston’s gaze was full of adoration, though he muttered reluctantly. “But it’s you
whom I truly love.”
“Come on. She's a simpleton; Just marry her and just keep her as a showpiece at
home. What harm could she do?”
Edith leaned in and toyed with his chin with a mocking attitude, “And nothing
would change between us. You'll still have me.”
Alston, utterly enchanted by her, almost forgot his nakedness and rose from the
water to envelop Edith in a messy, passionate kiss.
Glynnis felt her skin crawl os realization downed.
Only by marrying Marilla off to someone of stature, someone even the
Fairhavens would defer to like the Bartleys, could Jareth’s hopes be permanently
dashed!
Edith’s plan was diabolical, inhuman even!
No wonder Elspeth used to warn her that Edith was not to be underestimated.
She was a snake and a master manipulator!
