His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 208

“Damn! Jareth is quite the showman! I’m definitely getting a membership at Sapphire Nights Club!”

“I’m renewing my membership for another two years! Mr. Jareth is the real deal!”

The patrons were deeply moved and incredibly excited.

Lily received a message from the sales department and was told that tonight’s revenue was the highest

since the club’s opening!

Although Jareth was extremely wealthy, he was not a mindless millionaire

His generous treat tonight may seem like a waste, but it actually boosted his popularity, increased the

club’s reputation, and stimulated customer consumption.

Three birds with one stone!

“You are so extravagant Marilla lowered her long eyelashes, biting her lip shyly.

“What? Are you worried about my money?” Jareth raised an eyebrow playfully.

For her, he had spent quite a fortune tonight.

But he enjoyed it, and he hadn’t felt this satisfied in a long time

He couldn’t tell if he was trying to please her or himself.

Marilla blinked her bright eyes, nodding gently.

“Funny. I’ve had countless women, and they all couldn’t wait for me to spend money on them. Yet,

you’re worried about my spending”

Jareth leaned against the railing, glancing at her blushing face, his alluring smile deepening. “So, do

you want to manage my finances in the future, little

one?”

His words were a bit ambiguous due to his drunken haze,

They were standing very close.

Marilla didn’t quite understand the underlying meaning of his words, but she could clearly feel the warm

breath from his nose brushing her blushing ear, which was both comfortable and ticklish, making her

heart flutter.

Tm not a bank. I don’t want to manage your money.

“It’s not just banks that can manage my money, Marilla.”

Jareth lightly touched her soft hair, finding it hard to let go.

“Why aren’t you wearing your hair in curls anymore? I thought it was cute”

Marilla’s heart ached, she turned away with tears in her eyes.

“I don’t like curls.”

“You don’t?” He looked surprised.

As her silky hair slipped through his fingers, he felt a pang of emptiness in his heart.

“I don’t like curls, but you can call me whatever you want. Because you saved me and helped me find

my teddy bear tonight, so.” Marilla slightly lifted her face, her eyes shining brightly as she gazed at him.

I’m grateful to you. You can do anything you want.”

Do anything you want?

An unknown warmth spread through Jareth’s heart, and his breath hitched.

If it were any other woman, he would think it was a blatant seduction.

But coming from Marilla, it was as pure and clean as a clear spring flowing into his heart.

“Mr. Jareth”

At that moment, a waiter came in with a tray holding a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses. “This is

a fine wine that Mr. Fredric brought back from France. Please enjoy it with the lady”

Jareth nodded, and the waiter left, closing the door behind him.

Marilla’s eye lit up at the sight of the red wine!

“Shall we have a drink?” Jareth saw through her little scheme, smiling with narrowed eyes.

“Can we?” Marilla’s eyes were wide open, showing her eagerness.

“Of course, I can tell you like wine. Otherwise, last time Jareth stopped mid-sentence, remembering

what happened in the bushes that night. He cleared his throat to dispel the heat rising in his body.

Before he could finish his sentence, Marilla had already poured the wine into the expensive glass. First,

she sniffed it. Then she swirled the wine in the glass and carefully observed the color.

Finally, she took a sip, savoring the wine patiently, tasting the changes in her mouth.

“It’s Tranquil Oasis Inn’s 1998 Pinot Noir. The color is a rich deep purple, the taste is pure,

concentrated, and full. It has a complex aroma of black fruit, caramel, mocha, and vanilla, with a hint of

acidity”

Jareth was stunned. Not only could Marilla draw, but she could also taste wine!

He had been in the nightclub business for many years, owning private vineyards in different countries.

His wine-tasting skills were nowhere near Marilla’s. Sprout was indeed very cultured!

Edith and Glynnis moods were ruined. They both wanted to barge into Jareth’s private room and drag

Marilla out for a good beating.

“Wow. Edith, didn’t I tell you!” Glynnis was crying in the bathroom, and her fake eyelashes were half off.

“Marilla is definitely having an affair with your brother! You saw it too. He mobilized everyone just to find

her a toy bear! When has he ever been so devoted to any woman? Even though you’re his real sister,

he prefers to treat someone else’s sister well. Edith, I don’t know what you think, but I can’t stand it! It’s

too unfair

As she sobbed, she tried to stir up Edith’s emotions.

However, she didn’t know that Edith was already seething with anger. “How could Jareth do this. He’s

never been this attentive to mel

Previously, she would often lose her expensive toys, but every time she cried about it, Jareth would

simply buy her a new one, even more expensive and better than the last.

She thought she was the only one who had his unique favor.

But compared to what Marilla received, her favor was nothing!

Jareth, who was usually lazy and hated trouble, actually turned the entire Sapphire Nights Club upside

down just to find Marilla a toy!

It was too painful to even think about!

“At home, Thaddeus spoils her rotten, and now Mr. Jareth cherishes her too. If this keeps up, not just

me, but even your position might be threatened!” “Compete with me? She should weigh her worth first!”

Edith, seething with anger, finally reached her limit. She stormed out of the room in her stiletto heels.

The second she left, Glynnis immediately stopped crying, her eyes gleaming with cold mockery.

Humming a tune, she peered into a mirror to reapply her fallen false eyelashes.

Marilla and Jareth had already downed three rounds of wine

Both were slightly tipsy

Marilla, usually as dull as a plank, became unusually chatty after a few drinks. Her lips, moistened with

liquor, kept moving, spewing out words like machine gunfire.

But Jareth seemed to enjoy her ramblings. He found them relaxing. It was a feeling he hadn’t

experienced in quite some time.

“Do you know? Women are inherently lustfull”

Marilla, her face flushed from the alcohol, took another couple of swigs. There’s a gene on our

chromosomes that enhances color perception. And since women have an extra chromosome

compared to men, we are extra sensitive to color

“Is that so?”

Jareth looked at her, his eyes full of mirth. They slowly moved from her plump pink lips to the petite feet

hidden under her plain sneakers. His gaze deepened with desire.

“And, you know, they say that women are made of water. But actually, men’s bodies are 60% ter!

Women have more fat in our bodies?”

Marilla spoke with increasing enthusiasm. It had been a long time since she had had such a

conversation with anyone.

Suddenly, the lights went out.

“Huh?” Marilla paused, blinking in confusion. “Jareth, did your bar lose power? Hmm!”

She was suddenly enveloped in a potent masculine scent. Her breath hitched and her heart raced.

Jareth knelt in front of her, thumb caressing her chin, and kissed her passionately.

Their whiskey-laden breaths mingled, their lips locked, and their tongues tangled.

The music started playing again.

A flash of light caught Marilla’s eye. She saw Jareth’s half-closed eyes, glittering like stars.

His eyes were mesmerizing, yet dangerous.
