His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

and Avery’s relationship.”

Thaddeus’s voice was cold, “Evadne wasn’t a woman who’s easily fooled. I don’t believe their

relationship was as Avery said.”

“Alright! I’ll get right on it!”

Gordon was pleased, his voice becoming cheerful, then he cautiously added, “If only you trusted

Evadne earlier, she wouldn’t have left you. All those troubles wouldn’t have occurred in front of her.”

“One more word, and you’re off to the Africa branch!” Thaddeus gritted his teeth.

Gordon quickly apologized, “I’m sorry! I know I messed up!”

Evadne had noticed Thaddeus at the gate.

She didn’t want to deal with him, and she wanted him to deal with his own mess.

But Avery had gone to see him, so she had to intervene to prevent the situation from getting worse.

The little incident didn’t ruin the party, and the dinner ended in a cheerful atmosphere.

Emeric returned to his study with Mr. Dylan, then secretly called Cas sius and Arnold.

“Dad, what did you want to talk about?” Cas s ius asked.

“How much do you know about Evadne and Mr. Avery? Tell me the truth.” Emeric asked, sitting

elegantly on the sofa.

The brothers exchanged glances, and then Arnold pushed Cas sius forward, “You should ask Cas sius.

I had no idea Evadne and Mr. Avery were coming together

tonight.”

Cas sius remained silent, keeping his composure.

“Cas sius, how far has their relationship progressed?” Emeric was serious, “Since when has Evadne

ever accepted another man’s kindness? Tonight, Mr. Avery was overly attentive to Evadne. He almost

fed her, and she didn’t refuse. Tell me, what’s their relationship now? Has Evadne really fallen for him?”

“Dad, you sound like you don’t like Mr. Avery,” Cas sius spoke his thoughts directly.

Emeric didn’t reply

“Mr. Avery and Evadne have known each other since childhood, and they’ve gotten along well since

they reconnected. There aren’t many men Evadne doesn’t resist, and the Chambers family have been

our friends for years. If Mr. Avery really can be with Evadne, that would be a good thing” Cas sius

calmly expressed his thoughts

Tonight, Mr. Jeff came over. You both should know what he was after. He wanted to arrange a marriage

between our families. Why else would he bring his two unmarried sons? He fancies Evadne

Emeric nodded, “But I absolutely won’t agree to this.”

Hearing this, the Ashbourne siblings were surprised

They didn’t expect their father to be so resistant to the Chambers family.

“Dad, do you have some beef with Mr. Jeff? Did you guys delete each other off WhatsApp?”

Amold gave his dad a thumbs up. “That’s a real tycoon for you, still able to keep up appearances even

when you have issues with someone. If it were me, I’d be

livid.”

“Arnold, how the hell did you become a prosecutor? Did they let you pa** because you mentioned my

name?”

Emeric glanced at Arnold irritably and said with a certain gravity, “Evadne’s my little princess. She just

came out of that sh it show with the Abernathy family, there’s no way I’m sending her off into the mess

that is the Chambers family! Do you think the Chambers are all sunshine and rainbows? It’s a snake

pit, and everyone’s out for themselves, scheming and backstabbing. If Evadne marries into that, she’ll

be caught in the crossfire, drained and suffering. Let’s not forget that Avery is Jeff’s least favonte son.

He’s made it big abroad, but his early days were shady as hell. You bet there’s some dirty business on

his hands. He’s probably thinking he can clean up his act by marrying into our Ashboume family and

get a foothold back home, and it’s not out of the question.”

Arnold was gobsmacked, and Cas sius hung his head, biting his lip in guilt.

He just wanted his sister to start fresh, and he didn’t think about the deeper issues. It was careless.

“My daughters can lift others up, but not at the cost of their own happiness. I won’t have it!”

The fancy Bentley headed for Elmsworth.

Byron drove back in his posh car, while Jeff surprisingly invited Avery to ride with him.

The father and son sat in the back, the atmosphere heavy. There was love, but not much.

“Avery, tell me, what’s your deal with Miss Ashbourne these days?” Jeff asked, face deadpan.

“You care about my love life now?”

Avery responded a hint of a smirk on his face, “I lived with Mom abroad for 15 years, and you never

asked once. Now I’m back in Elmsworth, and suddenly you’re all

interested.”

“Don’t dodge the question. I’m asking about Evadne!” Jeff’ tone was stern, his eyes filled with anger.

“Well, as you saw tonight, Evadne and I are pretty tight.” Avery’s gla**es flashed coldly, a smirk on his

face.

Jeff took a deep breath, a vein on his forehead twitching. He ordered, “From now on, stay away from

Evadne, keep your distance!”

“Why?” Avery asked, smiling.

“Miss Ashbourne was a match I made for Byron. You getting involved would screw up my plans!”

“Byron’s your son, aren’t I? If Evadne’s with me, she’s still your daughter-in-law. What’s the problem?”

“I’ve decided. Byron is marrying Evadne. If you want to marry into the Ashbourne family, there’s

another daughter, Nydia. She was Myra’s girl, still single.”

“The unloved son only deserves the concubine’s daughter, is that it?” Avery adjusted his gla**es, a

smirk on his face.

“Avery! Quit the bulls hit!”

Jeff’ eyes were red with anger, “You shouldn’t compete with Byron. You’ll get what’s coming to you,

didn’t reach for what wasn’t your!”

“I’ve heard that since I was a kid, and till now, there wasn’t a single thing that truly belongs to me.”

Avery closed his eyes, a cold smile on his face, “I’m done cashing your empty checks. Tell Byron not to

worry. Evadne was mine, and no one’s getting in my way.”
