Chapter 95
Suddenly, the whole place fell dead silent, then in a matter of seconds exploded in noise!
Everyone thought they were just here for a birthday party but they didn’t expect to get that shocking
news!
Evadne’s eyes suddenly turned icy cold, but her expression remained unchanged.
Because everything was under her control.
On the other hand, Jareth seemed a bit nervous, trailing behind llana, his big and strong figure
radiating warmth that enveloped her.
Jareth anxiously called out to her. “Ilana.”
“I’m fine.” Evadne turned to look at him, her eyes curved like the moon, breathtakingly beautiful.
Jareth’s heart trembled again. Who could resist such a direct and touching smile?
“Elspeth, today is Mr. Hamiltion’s birthday party, let’s not talk about irrelevant things. Besides, this is my
private matter,” Thaddeus’s eyes were cold, filled with displeasure. “Thaddeus, don’t mind it, it’s my
lack of consideration, I’m sometimes too blunt,” Elspeth pretended to be ashamed and laughed as she
continued, “Mainly, the guests who came today don’t know Ilana, I want to introduce her to everyone.
Even if she’s left you and the Abernathy family, she was once your wife. Even if she’s from the
countryside, I can’t let people look down on her.”
What a beautiful way to put it! As if she was truly considering Evadne!
The guests murmured among themselves, looking at Evadne with complex eyes.
Acacia and Glynnis were overjoyed.
In that way, not only did everyone know that Evadne was no longer part of the Abernathy family, but it
also made clear her relationship with Cas sius.
There was no chance for Evadne to take advantage of Thaddeus again even if she wanted to!
“Thank you for putting so much thought into your words.” Evadne smiled faintly, like a proudly blooming
red rose, “I think even if I hadn’t married Thaddeus, no one would look down on me, right? Just
because I’m from the countryside, should I be looked down upon? Is there such a thing in the world?”
Thaddeus didn’t say anything, but there was a hint of anger in his eyes looking at Ilana.
Didn’t marrying him give her any sense of superiority?
Evadne’s words resonated with some of the guests around.
“Exactly, what’s wrong with being from the countryside? My elders are farmers, aren’t they now worth a
fortune?”
“Elspeth seems to be looking down on Ms. Ilana a bit!”
“Elspeth herself isn’t much, I remember she was a washed-up starlet, I think that’s even worse than
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbeing a farmer!”
Elspeth’s face turned white and red in anger.
She didn’t expect this revelation to be cleverly defused by Evadne again!
“Well said, what’s wrong with being a country girl? I just love the plain and unpretentious!” Jareth
chuckled softly in Evadne’s ear, feeling secretly delighted.
Evadne was speechless.
Thaddeus silently watched Ilana and Jareth’s intimate interaction, feeling irritated.
“Thad!” Acacia walked up to Thaddeus with a cheerful smile, naturally h ooking her arm around his,
“Don’t think too much, Elspeth is just thinking for Ms. Ilana’s good, if things are made clear, Ms. Ilana
won’t feel awkward anymore, right?”
Thaddeus looked a bit troubled, and his arm, held by his fiancee, felt a bit stiff.
The people around them started to give off complicated looks.
“It seems that Ms. Ilana is indeed in an awkward situation. Since she’s already divorced from Mr.
Thaddeus, it’s really inappropriate for her to attend this birthday party today, isn’t she asking for
trouble?”
“Didn’t you hear just now? Mr. Hamiltion specially invited her, even though she’s divorced, it’s enough
to show her status in Mr. Hamiltion’s heart.”
‘I don’t think so. I think she’s here to ruin the party. I guess she can’t accept the divorce from such an
excellent man like Mr. Thaddeus in her heart!”
“Ilana, don’t listen to their nonsense! What do they know, you’re not that kind of person at all!” Jareth
frowned, wishing he could cut off the tongues of these gossipers.
“I never take other people’s words to heart,” Evadne said lightly with a smile, showing her graceful
manners.
Just when Acacia thought she had saved the situation, a powerful voice broke through the air.
‘I want to see who’s giving Ilana a hard time?!”
Under everyone’s gaze, Mr. Hamiltion, dressed in a traditional white robe, walked out leisurely with the
help of Frederic and Mr. Murray.
Mr. Hamiltion was not in a wheelchair that day, his silver hair neatly combed, his face rosy, his back
straight, showing no signs of fatigue from his long struggle with illness.
“Mr. Hamiltion.” Evadne smiled in relief when she saw Mr. Hamiltion in good health.
Elspeth quickly signaled Acacia with her eyes, then turned to Hamiltion, saying with a gentle smile,
“Today is your birthday, and our family is rarely so complete. Acacia, aren’t you going to help Mr.
Hamiltion?”
“Mr. Hamiltion, let me help you.”
Acacia smiled sweetly and beautifully, about to step forward, when Hamiltion at that moment laughed
and looked at Thaddeus and Evadne.
“Thaddeus, Ilana! Come, you two help me!”
Hamiltion finished and didn’t forget to glance back at Frederic, “You move aside, you’re too slow, I like
being with young people, feeling their vitality makes me feel much better!” Frederic gave a wry smile
and had to let go of him.
Acacia stopped in her tracks, her face red with embarra**ment, not knowing whether to go forward or
retreat!

Chapter 95
She wore an awkward smile on her face, cursing Hamiltion in her heart for not dying yet!
Evadne’s eyes widened, instinctively looking towards Thaddeus.
And Thaddeus was looking right back at her. Their gazes met in mid-air.
Without hesitation, Evadne immediately averted her gaze, giving him a coldly beautiful profile.
Thaddeus was baffled. He looked away and walked over to Mr. Hamiltion with Evadne by his side.
Everyone was exchanging glances.
Mr. Hamiltion’s attitude towards Ms. Acacia was intriguing!
Elspeth was so angry that the rims of her eyes turned red. Hamiltion was not only embarra**ing Acacia,
but it also felt like he was slapping her in the face!
But Elspeth had to keep smiling. After all, Hamiltion was still the only decision maker in the Abernathy
group, and he still held shares in the Abernathy group. His words still had influence in the Abernathy
group, she didn’t dare to offend him even lightly.
“Mr. Hamiltion, you’re looking healthier and healthier, which is really great to see.”
Evadne stepped forward, kindly supporting Hamiltion, her smile full of genuine joy.
“Seeing you happy makes me feel like my illness is cured,” Hamiltion kindly looked Evadne over and
nodded satisfactorily, “You look really good! My eyes have not deceived me. You look so beautiful in
this traditional dress I gave you! Much better than those revealing clothes!”
Thaddeus was stunned by his words. So, that traditional dress was a gift from Mr. Hamiltion to Ilana!
All the guests understood everything, and their opinions on Acacia changed.
Turned out Mr. Hamiltion had always had his eyes on Ms. Ilana, not Ms. Acacia.
Even though Ms. Ilana and Mr. Thaddeus were at that time divorced, in Mr. Hamiltion’s eyes, he still
only favored Ms. Ilana.
Everyone’s gaze was on Acacia. The immense sense of shame made her feel like she was being
crawled upon by countless tiny insects.
“Now that everyone is here, let’s take a family picture.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKnowing that Mr. Hamiltion loved photography, Elspeth led the stiff Acacia forward and politely said to
Evadne, “You wouldn’t mind taking a picture for us, would you?”
“Of course not,” Evadne smiled naturally and agreed to her request.
“Ilana is not only my guest but also my family! How can we let family members take pictures? Ilana,
stand next to me!” Hamiltion looked at Elspeth with disgust as he warned, “Anyone who makes Ilana
unhappy makes me unhappy!”
Elspeth bit her lip and looked to Frederic for help.
Frederic couldn’t bear to see Elspeth being reprimanded by Mr. Hamiltion in front of everyone, so he
whispered, “Mr. Hamiltion, I know you like Ms. Ilana, but she’s divorced from Thaddeus. Taking a family
picture with us might not be appropriate.”
“So, what if they are divorced?!” Hamiltion said angrily, “I still consider her my granddaughter! She will
always be a part of the Abernathy family!”
Seeing Mr. Hamiltion defend her like that, Evadne couldn’t help but feel touched, tears welling up in her
eyes.
That was exactly why she couldn’t cut ties with the Abernathy family. She really cherished Mr.
Hamiltion.
Acacia was so mad she almost fainted.
Everyone was in disbelief!
Although Ms. Ilana was beautiful, what kind of charm did she have that made Mr. Hamiltion adore her
so much?
“Mr. Hamiltion,” Thaddeus felt uncomfortable when he heard that Mr. Hamiltion wanted to adopt Ilana
as his granddaughter, “Don’t put Ilana in a difficult position. I know what you mean, but she might not
be willing to accept that.”
“Hmph, I think it’s not that she doesn’t want to, it’s you who doesn’t want to,” Hamiltion looked at
Thaddeus discontentedly, “As soon as I mention adopting her as my granddaughter, you get unhappy.
You’re the troublemaker!”
Evadne was taken aback.
Thaddeus’ handsome face was frozen in shock.
With Ilana’s appearance, his status in Mr. Hamiltion’s heart plummeted, like a child picked up from a
garbage dump.
Just as Evadne was caught in a dilemma, a deep but clear male voice came from outside the door.
“Thank you, Mr. Hamiltion, for your care for Ilana. But since she’s divorced, it might not be appropriate
for Ilana to continue being your granddaughter.”
