His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 229

Thaddeus and Avery’s hearts skipped a beat, their eyes instinctively darting towards Evadne

Both of them had a soft spot for her and could instantly tell she was upset. So, they withdrew from the

auction, hands raised in surrender The auctioneer, sensing the moment, didn’t wait for other reactions

before making the final call, smoothly securing the necklace for Evadne After a moment of silence, the

room erupted in applause

Despite the applause, Evadne remained stoic, her eyes calm and unexcited

Mony Evadne bought the fake necklace we put in! Does the know it’s a counterfeit Glynnis was in a

panic, her heart pounding like a rabbit’s

“Shut your mouth! Do you want the whole world to hear?’ Elspeth hissed, her eyes filled with

resentment. Tvadne certainly didn’t realize the jewelry is fake She didnt expect to encounter a

countered in her own auction. She just donated a million dollars to your good causal

Glynnis remained uneasy. “What if she finds out?”

“Once the auction item leaves here, it has nothing to do with you! Who knows if it was switched or

she’s deliberately trying to smear you” Elspeth whispered maliciously

Seeing the necklace she had donated being bought by Evadne for a high price, Ads couldn’t suppress

a satisfied smirk.

She even thought that Evadne might still harbor some illusions about cooperating with her, otherwise,

there was no reason to go this far

At this moment, Evadne’s young and spirited eyes darkened. She sent a message to Jason, and then

casually adjusted her bitting posture like a spectator waiting for a show to begin

As the red cloth was lifted, the auctioneer’s enthusiastic speech came to an abrupt halt. He looked at

the teardrop diamond in the display case, then back at his script Something was wrong!

When the spotlight shone brightly on the glass case, people in the room gasped in surprise.

“Am I seeing things? Isn’t this the necklace that Ada just donated?”

“That’s right! It’s the same one!”

impossible! Each piece of Alea’s jewelry is unique. How could there be two identical ones in the same

auction?”

“So it possible that one of them is a counterfe?”

The room was abuzz with chatter Everyone was pointing at the necklace in the display case.

Ada leaned forward in shock, staring at the necklace like she had been struck by lightning

Elspeth and Glynnis were shocked to their come, their hands tightly gripping each other’s, Glynnis had

a cold sweat trickling down her spine.

The necklace she gave to Ada was a fake

That only meant one thing. The necklace on stage must be the real one!

“Ms. Evadne, didn’t you verify the items before the auction? How could such a blunder happen? Iris

asked, her tone more of concern than accusation

“Am I the one who didn’t play by the rules? Or was it, Ms. Ada?” Evadne replied with a meaningful

smile,

Inis gasped, “This necklace could it be?”

As the room filled with astonishment, Evadne elegantly rose and walked to the stage

Thaddeus watched the enchanting Evadne, his heart pounding under his tailored suit. Every inch of his

skin felt like it was on fire.

Ladies and Gentlemen, as the organizer of the Ethereal Vogue charity event, Lapologize for this

unfortunate mix-up that has caused a disruption to your experience” Evadne said, bowing deeply to the

audience

The room gradually fell silent

“Secondly, the “Whispering Waters Jewels was donated by me personally, Evadne continued, her lips

curling into a smile

Everyone was taken aback, all eyes turning to Ada

Ada was dumbstruck, her gaze shifting to Glynnis for help

But Glynnis could only helplessly look in Edith’s direction, only to find her seat empty!

Sensing trouble, Edith had slipped away!

Evadne looked down at the ridiculous circle of accusing glances, her lips curved in a smile, “Ms. Ada, I

was not aware you’d be donating this necklace tonight, so this is indeed a coincidence. Please don’t

harbor any misunderstandings

“President Ashbourne, why would you have a Whispering Waters Jewels? Ada asked, her confident

demeanor fading quickly

“Ms. Ada, the key question now is not why I have this necklace, but that your necklace is a counterfet,”

Evadne replied, her smile fading

People in the room was shocked into silence

Elspeth managed to keep her composure, but Glynnis was pale as a ghost!

“My necklace was a gift from the Abernathy Group, how could it be a fake?” Ada protested, refusing to

accept the fact

“Ms Evadne On what grounds are you claiming that the necklace my daughter gave to Ms. Ada is fake?

You better have someone verify it before making such accusations! Otherwise, isn’t this just slander??

Elspeth could sense trouble brewing with a stern look, she stepped forward to take control of the

situation before it spiraled out of control

“I wouldn’t claim your necklace is a fake if i didn’t have a way to prove it, Evadne responded, her voice

calm

Her eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint

Thaddeus sat upright, his gaze fixed on Evadne’s face, his lips curving slightly

There it was again, that fox like smirk. Whenever she wore that expresskin, she was up to something

In the past, it would have annoyed him. Now, he found it endearing

“Miss Evadnel You claim that Miss Glynnis’s necklace is a fake Do you have any evidence?”

“Ada is a seasoned jewelry collector. Wouldn’t she be able to identify a counterfeit?”

“Exactly, Miss Evadne! You cant make such accusations without proof! The necklaces look identical.

We should get an expert to examine them before jumping to conclusions!”

Evadne remained unfazed amidst the clamor

Suddenly, the heavy doors of the hall swung open

Everyone reflexively looked towards the entrance

A blonde, blue eyed beauty strode in, her high heels clicking against the floor, her presence

commanding attention.

Thaddeus couldnt help but glance back. His pupils dilated in surprise.

Could it be Liva?

Why was Liva here?

It’s Miss Lival The head of Alea Studio someone in the crowd exclaimed, causing a stir.

Liva is here? She is the right-hand woman of Alea Studio. Who could be better suited to authenticate

Alea’s jewelry?”

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liva walked straight towards Evadne

Evadne greeted her with a serene smile and gracefully descended from the stage

“Hi Liva

She greeted her warmly, to the surprise of the onlookers.

Liva stopped before her, lifted her hand and gently kissed it, a grand gesture of admiration and respect

in Aetheria

“apologize for my tardiness, Miss Alea, Liva murmured
