His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 311

Evadne strolled toward the banquet hall, humming a tune to herself.

She knew that Mia was in for a tough time.

Well, let the games begin!

She knew Matthew, or it was more about knowing men in general. They were superficial creatures, with

their pride weighing more than anything else. And if someone tarnished the reputation of the Chambers

family’s golden boy, he would make life hell for them.

It served Mia right for messing with her sister. A good thrashing was what she deserved!

“Evadne”

A sonorous, affectionate voice echoed behind her,

Her heart fluttered wildly as she clenched her fists.

There was no other voice in the world that could disrupt her heartbeat

Except for that man.

It was the man she once loved dearly, the man who had wrecked her

Evadne took a deep breath to calm herself and turned around, her gaze icy

Thaddeus stood a few steps away, holding a beautifully wrapped box. He walked towards her, his

posture dignified, his stride as swift as the wind Tm here his voice and gaze softened as he placed his

eyes on her

Evadne remained expressionless. “Hmm.”

He pursed his lips, his eyes filled with regret. Tm sorry, I intended to come earlier to see if I could help

you with anything. But it seems that I’m a bit late” The man who was once as proud as a peacock, now

appeared as humble as a servant before Evadne

“Why would we need help from an outsider for the Ashbournes banquet?”

Evadne sneered, glancing around. “Where’s Grandpa? Didn’t he come with you?”

“Grandpa is already here. He’s in the reception room chatting with Chairman Emeric” Thaddeus replied

gently

“Alright, I’ll go see Grandpa. You can do as you please.”

Without a hint of hesitation, Evadne turned to leave.

“Evadne” Thaddeus reacted urgently, grabbing her hand tightly

“Stop pulling me! If someone sees us, it’ll cause misunderstandings. Let go!” Evadne struggled, her

cheeks flushing slightly

“There’s no one else here, just the two of us

Thaddeus took a deep breath, his gaze intense, pulling her closer. “As a complete opportunist, I can’t

afford to miss any chance, even if I have to create one myself.” Evadne, in her towering heels, was

caught off balance and gasped

And then, like a bird finding its nest, she fell into his firm, broad chest.

Thaddeus, his eyes wide, was left to hold her with one arm while holding the gift box in the other.

“Uh Evadne pressed against his muscular arm.

Thaddeus held his breath, stunned.

He could feel her soft, warm body pressing against him.

Her full, round figure was tempting, enticing.

No, he was already sinning in his heart. After all, he was a normal man.

Thaddeus‘ mind went blank as his breathing became ragged, his eyes reddened

“Evadne, you have a great figure.” He leaned in, whispering into her ear his voice husky.

His words sent shivers down her spine as his body radiated unbearable heat, enveloping her,

entangling her.

Evadne’s eyes widened in anger. She pushed him away and slapped him across the face. “Pervert!

You deserve that!”

The slap was nothing more than a tickle for Thaddeus.

He didn’t get angry. Instead, he felt a thrill, his mouth dry, his mind hazy, as if he had had too much to

drink

“Even if you hit me, I’ll tell the truth. You really do have a great figure,” Thaddeus said, his gaze sincere

and clear

Was this the highest form of harassment, being serious about it?

“Shut up! Stop talking!”

Evadne’s face was as red as a ripe peach. She glared at him, “Stay away from me, or I’ll make sure

you’ll regret it!”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m not interested in those things anyway. And there’s no throne to inherit in my

family.”

Thaddeus gazed at her, moving closer against her wishes. Tm only interested in you, Evadne. If you

won’t let me get close to you, I’d rather die.” “Then go ahead! Die! I won’t miss you!”

Evagne turned around, stomping her foot in frustration.

She knew it was an accident, and she couldn’t blame the jerk.

But he took advantage of the situation to comment on her figure. How could he be so shameless!

No wonder he and Jareth were such close friends! Birds of a feather!

Thaddeus watched her delicate figure retreat, imagining her flustered expression.

A fond smile spread across his lips.

“Evadne”

Another clear powerful voice rang out from behind, filled with longing.

Evadne tumed around, her heart pounding

Immediately, her bright eyes welled up with tears. She dashed past Thaddeus and ran towards the

person who h

“Debby”

“Evadne“”

This time, the voice was even more eager, almost choking.

Thaddeus tumed in shock.

had called her

A woman dressed in an elegant, blue office suit was standing not far away. Her brows were delicate,

her face full and fair. Her makeup was just right, and her clear, firm eyes held a sense of pride

She bore a striking resemblance to Suri of the Ashbourne family!

He had just heard Evadne call her Debby: Could this be the famed sister of hers, who had married into

the Helgens?

Evadne hugged Debby Ashbourne, her half–sister, tears of surprise and joy welling up

want to disturb you all.”

Tears welled in Debby’s eyes, as she gently patted her sister’s back, “Isn’t this a surprise for you guys

too?”

“A surprise, such a surprise!” Evadne’s voice choked with emotion, and she couldn’t help but cry.

“Evadne, I hardly recognized you from the back” Debby said.

As she studied her sister, she felt a mix of joy and sadness. “You’ve lost a lot of weight. Your face used

to be round like a little doughnut, but now your cheeks have hollowed out. Who’s been mistreating you?

Aren’t you allowed to eat?”

At his words, Thaddeus felt a pang in his heart.

He remembered when Evadne had married him, her face wasn’t thin, but father, adorably chubby.

Later, he didn’t know when, but the lady who was always bustling around him, her bright eyes gradually

dimmed, and her soft face gradually thinned

Was it because of the hardships she had endured by his side? Or the days of neglect and indifference

in those three years that had worn her down?

He really should go to hell.

“My brother used to call me chubby, but now I’ve slimmed down, he can’t teate me anymore!”

Evadne didn’t seem to

girl in the universe?”

d, leaning on Debby’s shoulder and acting coy, “And even if I’ve lost weight, so what? Am I not still

pretty? Am I not still the most beautiful

“Yes, yes, my sister is the most beautiful.” Debby, even though she was only three years older than her,

spoiled her like a mother.

“Hello, Miss Debby.”

Just then, Thaddeus walked over, his handsome face impassive, trying to get friendly with Debby

Surprised, Debby looked over the handsome man before her, her pupils slightly contracting.

“Are you Mr. Thaddeus from the Abernathy Group?”

“Miss Debby, you don’t have to be so formal, just call me Thaddeus” Thaddeus extended his right hand

towards het, his charming eyes filled with warmth and politeness.

He didn’t seem like the ruthless, mysterious man from the rumors.

Out of courtesy, Derby was about to shake his hand, but Evadne pulled her back, glaring at him, “Don’t

think about getting close to my sister, and don’t think about making a good impression on her,

Thaddeus. Your tricks are all too obvious.”

Thaddeus frowned and smiled awkwardly, retracting his hand in embarrassment.

“Evadne, what’s going on between you and Mr. Thaddeus?” Debby was a bit confused seeing

Evadne’s casual attitude towards him,

After all, she didn’t know that her sister and this man had been married for three years.

Evadne felt a bit embarrassed, her lips pursed.

“Debby, I am Evadne’s husband”

Evadne and Debby were both shocked.

“I unilaterally declare that I am Miss Evadne’s husband.”

Thaddeus‘ eyes were full of passion, staring at her without blinking, “She can have more than one man,

but I, I only want her.”

Damn! How shameless!

Debby sucked in a breath.

Evadne bit her teeth, her face red from his words, and her heart pounded.

Shameless!

Utterly shameless!

“Mr. Thaddeus, are you pursuing our Evadne?” Debby asked tentatively.

His gaze was intense, “Yes, I am pursuing Evadne.”

He said passionately and fiercely.

“Debby! Don’t listen to him, he’s sick. Let’s go and find Dad and Sun!”

Evadne dragged Debby forward, striding ahead.

Thaddeus stood where he was, watching the back of the woman he loved as she left, grinning like an

idiot.

He really liked her and he was hopelessly in love with her.

“Debby, did you come back alone? Why didn’t your husband come with you?” Evadne asked, holding

her sister’s hand with concern.

“Your brother–in–law is too busy. These few days are crucial. The election results are about to be

announced.” Debby said, her eyes bright.

“Debby, your husband will be fine, he’s extraordinary, and you’ve been so actively involved in charity

work in Helgen, you’ve pulled in a lot of votes for him. He’s sure to be the next President of Helgen!”

“Let’s hope you’re right, Evadne”

Debby glanced back, then asked in a low voice, “Evadne, what exactly is going on between you and

Mr. Thaddeus?”

“Hmph, we’re like fire and water, completely incompatible.”

Evadne half–closed her eyes, gritting her teeth, “Just ignore him. He’s got his brain scooped out,

talking nonsense all day. It’s so annoying!”

“Really, Evadne? As far as I know, Mr. Thaddeus is a young talent, the future successor of the

Abernathy Group, a man of great capability”

Remembering how she was inexplicably “attacked” by this filthy man, Evadne was so angry she

wanted to howl at the sky!

“A man of great capability? In my opinion, he’s just a parasite!”
