His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 310

Inside the banquet hall, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew were cheerfully conversing with Cassius

Now, as the CEO of Chambers Group, Matthew had taken over several significant industries and

subsidiaries, and as the eldest son favored by his father, it was almost certain that he would control the

entire Chambers Group in the future.

Cassius, as the eldest son of Emeric, was also undoubtedly the future heir to the K Group. Thus, even

impartial Ashbourne family, he was still willing to play nice with Cassius.

though Matthew disapproved of the polygamous and

“President Ashbourne, heard that the K Group is making significant moves in Elmsworth. Your

momentum is quite impressive,” Matthew spoke with a successful businessman’s smile, “Our families

go way back, and our fathers are like brothers. I hope we can continue this relationship into our

generation.”

Cassius smiled lightly and clinked glasses with him.

“Remember to keep Chambers Group in mind if K Group has any good projects in Elmsworth. If our

families unite, we’ll be unstoppable in Elmsworth, or even the whole country.” Matthew took a sip of his

wine, revealing his ambitions.

“Mr. Chambers, I appreciate your perspective, but it’s unfortunate that I’m planning to step back soon.”

Cassius replied, his eyes calm, sipping his wine elegantly Matthew and his wife, Elva, exchanged

puzzled glances, “President Ashbourne, are you saying?”

“Everyone knows being a CEO was never my aspiration. I only took the position to help my father, to

allow my siblings to pursue their dreams without being burdened by family affairs” Cassius thought of

Evadne, and his lips curved up gently, “Now, my baby sister is back. She’s interested in business,

eager to manage the group, and is highly capable. So once this transition phase is over, I will step back

and leave the position to my

sister.”

Matthew looked stunned, “President Ashbourne, are you suggesting that Chairman Emeric plans to let

Miss Evadne become the CEO of the K Group?” “Yes,” Cassius nodded, straightforwardly.

It was no secret that Evadne would be the group’s

ture heir

Looking at the entire Ashboume family, no one was more suitable than her

“But Miss Evadne is a girl, and she’s only in her early twenties. She should be enjoying her youth. In a

few years, she’ll get married and should focus on her family. support her husband. Isn’t that the typical

life of a wealthy heiress?”

Elva added gently, “Moreover, Chairman Emeric has several talented sons, any of whom could take

over. Is it necessary for Miss Evadne to take on such a burden? It’s a lot of stress for a young girl.”

“I understand your concern, Mrs. Chambers, but Evadne is not an ordinary girl. If you ask her to focus

on her family and not pursue her personal ambitions, she might flee abroad again and only come back

when I’m on my deathbed Cassius joked, “So even if it’s just to keep her by my side, I have to give up

my position. Whatever she wants, as long as it’s within my power, I will give it to her

Elva was taken aback!

The Chambers family had four children, three of whom were bbm from the same mother yet they were

always at each other’s throats

Emeric had three wives and numerous children, yet instead of seeking more benefits for themselves,

they were willing to give up what they had worked so hard fort Unbelievable! Incomprehensible!

Matthew praised Cassius verbally, but in his heart, he sneered at Cassius‘ lack of ambition and blind

indulgence of his sister. He even gave up his bright future for her

“Mr. Chambers!”

At that moment, Matthew’s secretary hurried over. Seeing Elva present, he hesitated to speak

“Excuse me for a moment” Matthew apologized with a smile

Cassius nodded, “Please.”

As soon as Matthew left, Elva’s expression darkened.

“What did you say?” Matthew frowned after hearing the report.

“Mia is here, but she couldn’t get in, She was stopped by the Ashbourne family’s people. She’s making

a scene outside, wanting to see you. Many people have seen

The secretary wiped his sweat and reported in a low voice

“Can she even be here on such an occasion? Tell her to leave”

“Mr. Chambers, there was a commotion outside. Apparently, Mia insulted Miss Nydia of the Ashbourne

family, and it even alarmed Miss Evadne.” The secretary swallowed nervously, “From what I can tell,

Miss Evadne won’t let this go easily unless you intervene

Matthew clenched his jaw and adjusted his tie, “Understood”

Evadne wanted to deal with Mia right there and then

But Nydia was afraid that if this got out of hand, it would reach their parents‘ ears, so she begged her

sister to handle it privately.

Now, in the empty banquet hall

Mia stood in sheer terror, the two towering bodyguards standing ominously behind her, their dark suits

lending an oppressive air. Her previously arrogant demeanor had vanished without a trace.

Evadne was languidly sprawled on the sofa, her elegant legs crossed lazily, her sister, Nydia, at her

side. Jason was standing nearby, serving them a platter of assorted fruits.

Feeding a piece to her sister, Evadne looked utterly contented, her eyes sparkling mischievously,

reminiscent of a playful hedonist.

“Jason was telling me the other day that this woman had insulted you, and quite badly at that.” Evadne

asked, her voice neither loud nor soft, her teme unreadable.

Upon hearing this, Mia felt a chilly shiver run down her spine, as if she’d been plunged into an icy

cellar.

1/2

Evadne, a woman, exuded an oppressive aura so strong it was terrifying.

“Evadne, let me handle this. It’s a personal grudge between us,” Nydia interjected, her heart pounding

in her chest.

This woman was an insult to her sister, and she didn’t want Evadne involved in this mess.

“Sweet sister, I know you don’t want to trouble me,” Evadne responded, her voice soft as she stroked

Nydia’s silky hair, her words chillingly cold. “It warms my heart that you consider my feelings. I’ll take

care of this matter for you, and you won’t have to feel guilty. Consider it a lesson from me. Now you’ll

know what to do when you meet someone who doesn’t know their place.”

Mia’s heart pounded in her chest, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Now, her only hope was for Mr. Chambers to come and save her

Suddenly, the banquet hall doors swung open.

Matthew entered, his icy gaze following his secretary.

Jason’s eyes darkened at the sight of the man, a reminder of the humiliation he’d suffered before.

“Mr. Chambers, Mr Chambers! Mia cried out, tears welling up in her eyes, her perfectly done makeup

beginning to smudge. “Mr. Chambers! Please, you have to help

me! I’ve been framed!”

Matthew’s expression hardened, his lips pursed. He had a reputation for his promiscuous lifestyle, and

high–end club belonging to the Chambers Group two months ago.

I was just anoth

one night stand he’d picked up at a

In his eyes, she was like junk food, filling but lacking in substance. Once he’d had his fill, hex

was done with her.

But now, she’d followed him here, causing a scene and dragging him into it. Matthew’s icy gaze caused

Mia’s legs to go weak, and she stumbled back a step.

“Ms. Evadne, what seems to be the issue?” Matthew asked, his tone casual

“Mr. Chambers, your girlfriend Mia has caused some trouble at the Ashbourne family’s gathering. She

assaulted my secretary and verbally abused my sister.” Evadne replied, her tone calm but her smile not

reaching her eyes. “I thought it only fair that the one who caused the mess should clean it up. After all,

it’s not very ladylike for me to get my hands dirty over such people, is it?”

Matthew finally understood. Evadne was not just seeking

nge on Mia; she was challenging him!

“Mr. Chambers, please help me!” Mia pleaded, staggering towards Matthew, only to be callously

blocked by his secretary

“Apologize to Ms. Evadne and Ms. Nydia, Matthew ordered, his g

gaze cold.

Tm sorry, I was blind and foolish. I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Mia apologized, her eyes red–rimmed as she

bowed to them.

“An apology is all it takes? Evadne’s beautiful face turned icy

Matthew clenched his jaw, “Jay”

“At your service, Mr. Chambers”

Understanding the order, Jay stepped forward, and without a word, slapped Mia across the face

“Ahr

Four sharp slaps landed on the woman, knocking her to the ground, her mouth filled with blood!

Nydia’s heart pounded, she quickly turned her face away.

“Don’t worry, I’m here. It’s just a small scene”

Evadne wrapped an arm around her younger sister, gently soothing her, while casting an annoyed

glance at Jason, “Jason, Nydia’s so scared, why don’t you comfort her?”

Nydia blushed instantly

“Miss Evadne” Jason faltered, his heart pounding.

“Alright, alright, it’s almost time, you can comfort her later”

Evadne stood up, holding Nydia’s arm, and headed towards the door

As she was leaving, she teasingly threw out a comment, “This banquet hall is quite secluded, not many

people come by, we’ll leave Mr. Chambers to clean up. But be quick, the banquet is about to start”

Bang!

The door closed Wightly.

A few minutes fater, Matthew and his secretary emerged from the room. His eyes were cold and cruel,

the steel band of his Patek Philippe watch was smeared with blood, and the room was filled with the

intermittent sounds of a womans painful moans and pleas.

“You stay and clean up”

“Yes, Mr. Chambers!”

“Evadne is certainly interesting

Matthew’s presence was chilling, his clenched fists crackled, “It’s been a long time since someone

dared to challenge me to my face, and a woman at that Well, if she wants to play, I’ll play with her. Let’s

have some fun.”

The anger that Evadne released was for Nydia, and it felt good.

But Nydia felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Evadne, being very tactful, left first, leaving Jason alone with her.

The two of them went out to the open–air balcony to take in some fresh air and sort out their jumbled

thoughts.

Seeing Nydia shivering. Jason quickly took off his suit jacket and draped it over her, “Miss Nydia, it’s

windy here, wear this.”

“Did you tell my sister about the trouble Mia was causing me that night?” Nydia slowly turned around,

her eyes filled with confusion,

Jason paused, then quietly said, “Yes. I told Miss Evadne.”

“Why did you do that? My issues with Mia are my own. Why did you involve my sister?”

Nydia looked womed and her eyebrows furrowed. “My sister is already very busy and tired, how can

she worry about such trivial matters? Moreover, it involved Matthew, and my sister almost had a conflict

with him!

Do you think Matthew will let it go? Will he just let it slide?”

“Miss Nydia.”

“Jason, you are my sister’s secretary, you should also consider her feelings. Why didn’t you think about

her at this time?”

Nydia’s tone became a bit harsh, “What if Matthew takes it out on my sister in the business field? Have

you ever considered the consequences?”

Faced with her questioning, Jason felt a deep sense of pain.

He was caught off guard, and suddenly grabbed Nydia’s delicate shoulders, his eyes filled with burning

intensity. “But I was so angry, Miss Nydia! I was so desperate to stand up for you, I was so afraid of that

woman bullying you at school! The thought of her insulting you that night, I couldn’t stand it. I just

wanted to rush to your side and protect you!”

“Jason.” Nydia was taken aback, staring deeply into his passionate eyes.

The heat from his moist palm seeped into her skin, flowing through her veins and into her heart, making

it pound.

“I know I took advantage of Miss Evadne this time, and I will apologize to her. But Miss control myself

anymore.”

Jason’s breath grew ragged as he spoke, his cheeks flushed, “I hate myself for bein do anything,

anything at all.”

werless, I hate being useless. But as long as I can protect you, I’m willing to

Nydia’s cheeks turned crimson, her eyes moistened, and she leaned forward, resting her forehead

gently on his broad shoulder

She had once read a passage.

What is love?

It’s the courage of the weak, the generosity of the poor,

The commitment of those who weighed the pros and cons, the gamble of the cautious:

The stuttering attempts to express oneself by those who were not good with words;

And most importantly, the unwavering determination to pursue something she knew was impossible,

without any hesitation.
