His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 74

K Orld Hotel.

In the office, swamped with work, Evadne fired up her game again. With a chainsaw in hand, she

transformed into a bu tcher, giving the survivors a terrifying chase,

On her desk was a serving of beer and fried chicken, her favorite grub to have when gaming.

Whether it was top-notch French cuisine, Japanese delicacies, or elaborate royal banquets, none of it

could beat street food, and certainly not the fried chicken in her hand. Evadne suddenly remembered

the three years after she married Thaddeus. She endured the pain of her smoke allergy, donning a

mask all year in the kitchen to cook him the most exquisite dishes.

She recalled how her dad Emeric’s wife won over his stomach with her cooking skills. She thought that

if she could also wow Thaddeus with her culinary abilities, he might give her a little more attention.

To achieve this, Evadne secretty attended a top culinary school in Elmsworth. In the cla**room, she

was the only girl among a bunch of energetic boys.

When she returned, her cooking skills had surpa**ed those of her master. He couldn’t help but feel like

he needed to take care of her like a treasure, seeing her as the best student he had ever trained, a true

testament to his teaching career.

But in the end, she realized that even though she could satisfy Thaddeus’ stomach, she could not

satisfy his heart.

To add insult to injury. Thaddeus rarely ate at home, and on the few occasions he did, he never

commented on her cooking.

The sting of dashed expectations was unbearable for anyone, but she gritted her teeth and endured it

for three years.

Evadne grabbed a piece of fried chicken and bit into it in frustration, imagining it was Thaddeus’ neck.

Thankfully, she didn’t have to endure that pain anymore.

If there really were magic shops in the world, she would sell love as the first item in exchange for

Emeric’s health and her family’s safety.

There was a knock on the door, and Jason walked in.

“Miss, I’ve delivered everything and relayed the message.”

“Oh, he definitely disagreed with settling it privately, didn’t he?” Evadne said nonchalantly.

“Yes. He said, unless you hand over Elvis, he won’t compromise.”

“Huh, he really dares to dream; what an egomaniac!”

Evadne won another round of her game and exited. With fried chicken in her left hand and a beer in her

right, she looked very satisfied. “I investigated the scene afterwards; there are no cameras nearby.

There’s no evidence that Elvis hurt him. Even if he wants to take this to court, he won’t be able to touch

Elvis.”

The Ashbourne family were all very smart and wouldn’t let their own get hurt.

“But, Miss, I feel like Thaddeus is onto something.”

Jason walked over to her and said in a worried whisper, “When I went to see Thaddeus, I noticed he

had his military school graduation album on his bedside table. The fact that he suddenly started looking

at it, I’m sure he knows something.”

Evadne was taken aback, her beautiful eyes narrowing in thought.

“Don’t worry, Elvis’ information has been deeply encrypted by the National Security Department and

himself. He’s never shown his face at any public events of the K Group, and no one can prove his

connection to the Ashbourne group. In short, I’ll protect Elvis. If Thaddeus wants to investigate, let him.

I hope it wears him out to the point of losing his hair!”

Back then, Evadne’s birth mother had quadruplets. Cas sius and Arnold took their father’s surname,

while Bennett Waverley and Elvis took their mother’s.

Cas sius and Arnold looked very alike, but Bennett and Elvis looked completely different, almost like a

sudden genetic mutation.

This fact helped cover for Elvis.

“Also, I asked Thaddeus about the press conference.”

“What did he say?” Evadne’s eyes sparkled.

“He said it’s the Abernathy group’s private affair and none of his business. He looked pis sed, like I

owed him a ton of money.” Jason chuckled in annoyance.

Evadne’s amber-like pupils tightened, and she bit into a chicken leg. “I know Thaddeus pretty well; he

might be a bit ruthless when it comes to emotions, but he’s brave and upright in other aspects. If he

hadn’t done it, he would’ve clarified it to you right away. So it seems like he’s the one who did it.”

Jason’s eyes widened in surprise. “What does he want then? He’s the president of the Abernathy

Group; it’s not good for him if the group’s image gets damaged.”

Evadne suddenly remembered the domineering and pa**ionate kiss Thaddeus gave her.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she tossed the chicken bone accurately into the trash can in

frustration.

“Humph, who knows, maybe he’s got some screws loose. I can’t believe I was married to him for three

years and never noticed.”

In the evening, Cas sius’ Rolls Royce pulled up in front of the hotel right on time, attracting admiring

glances from the crowd.

In an inconspicuous corner, a black Maybach was quietly parked.

In the backseat. Thaddeus had his lips pressed together, and his eyes locked onto the Rolls Royce like

a hawk.

Not long after, Ilana, accompanied by Jason, stepped out

His ex-wife looked particularly stunning today. She used to always wear tailored suits, sky-high heels,

and bright red lipstick; her beauty was somewhat aggressive,

But today, Ilana had light makeup on her elegant face. Her beautiful long hair was down, and her

golden ratio figure was draped in a light blue silk dress. The dress was cut to perfection, the waist was

tight, and the skirt was fluttering, accentuating her graceful figure like a fairy descending to earth.

Thaddeus’ gaze darkened even more, a bitterness welling up in his heart.

She had the beauty and the perfect figure to match all the fancy dresses in the world, but in their three

years of marriage, she only wore cotton white dresses and white sneakers.

Everything Cas sius could provide for her, he could too.

But why was she always penny-pinching during their three years of marriage?

Was she trying to make people think that Thaddeus couldn’t take care of his woman?

Seeing his ex-wife getting into Cas sius’s car, Thaddeus’s face tightened, muttering. “Drive, follow

them!”

The Rolls-Royce headed towards Skyrim.

In the car, Evadne lifted her cute nose, proudly presenting the financial report she had prepared for

Emeric and a series of expansion plans to her brother Ca sius.

“Cas sius, my work has been going smoothly, and the results of these two months are satisfying, right?

I did well, didn’t I?”

Cas sius flipped through the documents with his left hand, gently patting his sister’s head with his right.

“You’re really our little princess, super smart. What others take a year to achieve, you’ve done in two

months. You’re a born businesswoman.”

“I’m not a little princess; I’m a strong woman working to expand our family’s empire.”

Evadne puffed up her lips proudly and said, “When I become the CEO of the K Group, all of Skyrim will

bow to me. No, not just Skyrim, but also Elmsworth. The K Group is going to conquer Elmsworth; the

days of the Abernathy Group’s monopoly are numbered!”

“Good, you’ve got the vibe of Catherine the Great.”

Cas sius nodded gently, then asked with concern, “If you’re going to conquer Èlmsworth, you’ll

inevitably have to compete with Thaddeus; are you confident?”

‘Absolutely! I can’t wait.”

Evadne clenched her fists, her eyes sparkling with ambition. “I’ve already lost in love; can’t I win in

business?”

“Of course, with such determination, I will fully support you.” Cas sius’s gentle smile was particularly

charming.

“So, how do you plan to support me?” Evadne rubbed her hands together, her eyes sparkling with

anticipation.

“I’ll pray for you; the Lord will bless you.”

Not far behind, the Maybach followed.

“Mr. Thaddeus, this seems to be the direction to Skyrim!” Gordon said while driving.

“Indeed, it’s the direction to Skyrim.” Thaddeus’s voice was low.

“Oh my! Could it be that President Ashbourne is taking his fiancé to meet his parents? Mr. Thaddeus,

your wife is really about to be sna tched away by President Ashbourne, you have to think of

something!”

“She dares!”

Thaddeus’s temples throbbed, gritting out every syllable: “We’re not divorced yet; she’s still my wife in

name. In such a hurry to remarry? Thinking I’m gone?”

It’s only been a few days since her brother beat him up. She didn’t even ask about him, and now she’s

going home with her new lover?

Ilana, was she so eager to leave him, trying to humiliate him?

“But Mr. Thaddeus, according to the agreement, after your grandfather’s birthday, you and your wife will

have to divorce. There will be a day when you can’t control her.” Gordon sighed helplessly.

Thaddeus’s long eyelashes trembled, and his chest felt like it was being pressed by a heavy stone.

For some reason, he was panicked.
