Tourists gradually left Rose Manor, leaving only Evadne and Acacia in the garden.
As the surrounding light dimmed, Evadne’s makeup-free face was still as pretty as ever, making Acacia
feel both envious and Jealous.
Putting all grudges aside, she had to admit that Evadne was stunningly beautiful.
How could she not feel threatened and hateful, having lived with such a beautiful woman and her man
for three years, even if their relationship was only in name?
So, Acacia walked up to Evadne, tidied up her long hair, and showed a victorious smile, nothing like her
soft demeanor in front of Thaddeus.
“Found someone new to lean on already? You’re quick. Wouldn’t it have been better to do this sooner?
No matter how you cling to Thad, he won’t give you a second look.”
Evadne looked at her as if she was crazy. “Why would I need him to look at me? I’m not a peacock
showing off.”
Acacia was left speechless by Evadne’s words. She cursed inside and then pulled out her trump card.
“Since we’re here, let me give you some good news. Thad and I are getting engaged soon, and the
engagement day is on my birthday.”
“Really? Congrats, but I don’t have a gift for you.” Evadne said lazily, obviously just going through the
motions.
Seeing Evadne’s indifference, Acacia felt a surge of anger, feeling insulted. “No matter how tough you
act, you must be angry and hateful inside. But what’s the use? The one who ends up with Thad is still
me, and you’re the laughingstock of Elmsworth!”
“Ah, Acacia, every time you see me, you either claim you’ll get Thaddeus or brag about your
relationship with him. Is your life really that boring? Apart from a divorced man, don’t you have anything
else to show off?” Evadne sighed, feeling that talking to her was a waste of time.
But she couldn’t let this arrogant bad girl off the h ook, or she would feel guilty.
“What did you just say?!”, Acacia glared at her, her face turning red in anger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I understand your desire to boast about marrying into a wealthy family, but you should find a suitable
person to vent. What you treasure is trash that I don’t want to see again. How boring.”
“Trash?” Acacia’s face turned red with anger, she shouted, “Evadne! You’re just jealous! The harsher
you speak, the more it shows how much you care about Thad and me being together! You calling Thad
trash is just a way to vent. After all, you’re the one who spent three years without any gain, and you’re
the one Thad dumped!”
Evadne’s eyes suddenly turned cold, making Acacia shiver inside.
“People really need to understand a fact that they should know when to stop. Just because I can step
back doesn’t mean you can go too far. I’m kind, but it doesn’t mean you can talk nonsense in front of
me. I warn you for the last time, don’t take my patience as an excuse for you to cross the line.
Otherwise, your future days may not be so easy, Miss Ahley.”
The sudden mention of the name “Ahley” scared Acacia, her face turned pale instantly.
She felt her blood rushing back, and she took a small step back in panic.
“What’s with that look?”
Evadne saw her face turn pale in an instant and couldn’t help but laugh. “Isn’t Ahley your name when
you studied abroad? I’ve never seen anyone get so scared hearing their
own name.”
“I don’t know who Ahley is. I’ve never heard this name, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Acacia
denied vehemently, her breathing getting more and more rapid. After all, Ahley was a fallen,
promiscuous, and she was a greedy woman completely different from the innocent and obedient image
she showed to Thaddeus now. If Thaddeus knew she had been sleeping with men seven days a week
and even gave birth to a baby girl, everything would be over.
Evadne squinted her beautiful eyes and took a few steps towards her, bending slightly with a cold
smile.
“Appearances can be changed, names can be changed, but the things you’ve done, no matter how you
want to erase them, as long as I look carefully, I can find traces. I don’t tell the truth, not because I’m
kind, but because it’s none of my business, I don’t bother to care. But if you provoke me again, don’t
blame me for tearing off your disguise.”
Acacia felt a sharp pain in her heart, breaking out in cold sweat.
When Thaddeus came out of Rose Manor, Evadne and Avery had already left.
After talking with that man, he sat alone in the cold wind for a long time.
By now, it was already late.
Thaddeus sent Acacia back to the hospital, and then he went back to Windermere Estate with Gordon.
On the way, Gordon was so anxious that his suit was soaked in sweat. He kept bowing his head and
apologizing to Thaddeus. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Mr. Thaddeus, Punish me, any punishment is fine! It’s all
my fault, I didn’t do my research properly. I didn’t know that the person I was dealing with was from the
Chambers Group! I was wrong.”
As he spoke, Gordon, a sturdy lad, began to choke up.
Thaddeus, who had been deep in thought, slowly opened his eyes and mocked coldly, “You’re this old,
and you’re crying over this little thing.”
“But this isn’t a little thing.”
“People from Avery’s side haven’t appeared in the country for over a decade. It’s normal that you
couldn’t find their information.”
Thaddeus closed his eyes again and took a deep breath. “Even if you found the information, the result
wouldn’t change. He wouldn’t want to cooperate with us. There are several similar rose gardens in the
country. We’ll contact them all, and we’ll find a supplier,”
“Alright, I’ll take care of it tomorrow!”
Gordon rubbed his eyes and let out a long and helpless sigh, “Mr. Chambers has really been generous
to Mrs. Abernathy. He just handed such a huge project over to her. A regular businessman would at
least shop around, right? Take some time to weigh the options?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat statement was like a thorn, stabbing deep into Thaddeus’s heart.
He asked quietly, “Gordon, was I really that terrible to Evadne in the past? Was I really that bad?”
Gordon was speechless, like he was choking on his words. He was a straight shooter, but he wasn’t a
fool.
Having just messed up one thing, now Thaddeus was throwing him another curveball, and he was
feeling pretty jittery.
“It’s okay, I won’t blame you. You can speak your mind.” Thaddeus saw through his fears.
“Um, Mr. Thaddeus, actually, you weren’t that bad to Mrs. Abernathy. You gave her the best life, luxury
cars, and credit cards. You gave them all to her without hesitation.”
“My relationship with her was just a marriage of convenience, arranged by my grandfather. It was all for
show. I’ve never been stingy with anything I could give her.” Thaddeus rubbed his nose bridge, feeling
depressed.
“If Ms. Evadne had seen it as a contract marriage from the start and was prepared to leave after three
years, then you really didn’t do anything wrong.”
Gordon suddenly became serious. He frowned and said, “The sad thing is, Ms. Evadne truly loved you.
She cared for you with all her heart. For three years, no matter how much you ignored her, no matter
how much the Abernathy family bullied her, she never complained. Facing a woman who saw you as
her husband, your treatment of Ms. Evadne over the past three years was just too cold, too cruel. All
the money you gave to a woman who deeply loved you must’ve felt like a great insult.”
A great insult.
Thaddeus’s throat tightened.
All emotions gathered in his fluctuating chest. He tried to take a deep breath, trying to suppress the
wave of emotions.
But when he thought of the words “she truly loved you”, he couldn’t hold back anymore. He broke
down.
