Chapter 94
“You’re a lifesaver!” Acacia was so grateful she was almost in tears.
Suddenly, the room livened up, and all the social butterflies turned their attention to the entrance.
Thaddeus and Jareth, two of the most sought-after bachelors, walked in together, instantly becoming
the center of attention.
Their presence was like a magnet, drawing all eyes to them.
Both from the esteemed Abernathy and Jareth groups, either of them was capable of making countless
women’s hearts flutter with just a glance.
Both were dressed to the nines. Thad had chosen a sleek black suit, radiating a powerful aura, while
Jareth looked dashing and refined in his crisp white suit. “OMG. Mr. Thaddeus and Mr. Jareth are drop-
dead gorgeous!”
“I can’t believe I get to see them both at the same time! This day is totally worth it!”
“Did you guys see Mr. Thaddeus’s long legs and that face! Is he even human? He’s like a video game
character, just too perfect!”
“And let’s not forget Mr. Jareth! That smirk of his is just to die for! I am so in love with him!”
Glynnis was practically drooling over Jareth.
Acacia nudged her and chuckled, “Look at how popular Mr. Jareth is! When are you going to finally
make a move? I remember you’ve had a crush on him for years.”
“What’s the rush! All good things come to those who wait, Mr. Jareth will be mine eventually!” Glynnis
grumbled.
“Well you better hurry up! Look at those women eyeing Mr. Jareth like a piece of meat. They say the
thief who doesn’t steal is the one to be afraid of. Don’t you think it’s time for you to finally make your
move?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGlynnis gritted her teeth, annoyed at Acacia’s words.
Her dream was to be Jareth’s woman, to be the lady of the Jareth group.
But every time she thought of the humiliation she suffered at Jareth’s hands, she felt like digging a hole
and hiding in it!
But she wouldn’t give up that easily on her dream, or else she would never hear the end of it from
Acacia!
Just as Thaddeus and Jareth were walking towards them, all eyes turned to the entrance again.
Under the dazzling lights, a stunning and graceful figure entered, catching everyone’s attention again.
It was none other than Acacia’s thorn in the side, Ilana!
*Ilana is excessively beautiful” Jareth murmured, unable to take his eyes off her.
Thaddeus’s eyes darkened, and his heart started to beat faster.
“Who’s that beauty? She’s so elegant!”
“Is she wearing a traditional dress with rose embroidery? It’s rare to see someone pull off such a
sophisticated traditional dress!”
“And it’s not just about the dress, you have to have the body for it too. She’s showcasing the beauty of
the traditional dress perfectly. She could easily be a brand amba ssador!”
Compliments were heard all around.
That day, Evadne did not choose to wear a typical evening gown, but a custom-made traditional dress
with rose embroidery.
Her unique choice of attire made her stand out from the crowd as if she had been the lady of the
manor, effortlessly outshining Acacia and Glynnis.
“Da mn it! How did that bit ch think of wearing a traditional dress? Why didn’t I think of that!” Glynnis
was seething with jealousy.
Elspeth also looked serious.
She too had chosen a prestigious traditional dress, believing that only such a dress could show off her
beauty. But she didn’t expect to be outshone by Ilana, which made her feel regretful
After all, Ilana was younger, and no matter how Elspeth dressed up, she couldn’t compete with her.
And then, Acacia noticed that since Ilana had entered, Thaddeus’s gaze had not left her for even a
second.
Suddenly, feelings of insecurity and anger filled her, and malicious thoughts began to form.
“Ilana!” Jareth waved at her with a smile.
Evadne nodded in response, with also a smile on her face.
Seeing Jareth being so friendly towards Ilana, Glynnis was livid!
As Ilana was about to walk past Thaddeus, he suddenly reached out and caught her arm.
“Where are you going?”
“I don’t think I should stay by your side, Mr. Thaddeus?” Evadne slowly pulled her arm away from his
grip, with a mischievous smile.
Thaddeus was about to reply when Elspeth walked over with Acacia.
“Ilana, I’m so happy that you could attend this event. I thought you wouldn’t be able to make it.”
All eyes were on them, trying to figure out the relationship between this beauty in the traditional dress
and the Abernathy group.
“You overthought it. I wouldn’t miss it, Mr. Hamiltion was looking forward to celebrating his birthday with
me and Mr. Thaddeus,” Evadne responded, calm and composed.
Thaddeus’s gaze became more intense.
The guests began to look at Acacia differently.
“Didn’t they announce their engagement publicly? Even though Mr. Thaddeus hasn’t officially confirmed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit, who in Elmsworth doesn’t know that Ms. Acacia is his fiancee? This lady’s words make Ms. Acacia
sound like a third wheel.”
“Yeah, and look at her elegance, she’s definitely from a noble family. What’s her background?”

Chapter 94
“She’s even more beautiful than Ms. Acacia. She and Mr. Thaddeus look like a match made in heaven!”
Acacia’s face fell. Was Ilana trying to ruin her chances with Thaddeus?!
Wasn’t she just broadcasting to everyone that Ilana and Thaddeus were tight, and they had some
serious ties with Mr. Hamiltion?
Then what the heck did her being the fiancee of the Abernathy Group’s CEO even matter?!
“Ilana, we all know you are close with Mr. Hamiltion,” Elspeth smirked inwardly, but kept a kind face,
“What about the President of the K Group, Ashbourne? How come he’s not here with you? Mr.
Hamiltion even sent someone to personally deliver his invitation.”
The room gasped at her words.
The President of the K Group? Cas sius?!
Weren’t the Abernathy Group and the Ashbourne Group mortal enemies? Didn’t they avoid each other
like the plague? How on earth would he be invited to Mr. Hamiltion’s birthday party?!
Thaddeus knew that Elspeth was just trying to put Ilana on the spot, and his eyes darkened.
Just as he was about to react, Evadne coldly asked, “Your remark is really amusing. Why on earth
would I have to come here with President Ashbourne?”
“Because President Ashbourne is your boyfriend, duh,” Elspeth’s lips curled into a smirk as she burst
the bubble. “Let me introduce to you all. This is Ms. Ilana, Thaddeus’s ex-wife. But now, she’s the
girlfriend of Mr. Cas sius, the CEO of the K Group.”
