Chapter 436
Evadne, while tending to her family and taking care of Emeric’s diness, was also secretly orchestrating
her move.
Emeric’s health was not to be taken lightly. After much deliberation with the three lady companions,
they decided to inform Cassius and Arnold to come home to visit Emeric, After all, as the eldest and
second sons of the family, it was their duty to shoulder this responsibility.
Simultaneously, Suri had called upon Chasel to diagnose Emeric.
Evadne was a top–notch surgeon, but when it came to neurology, Chasel was the expert.
After a series of checks, Chasel explained patiently to Exadne and the rest of the Ashbourne, family,
who were all ears, holding onto his every word.
Only Cassius stood on the periphery, his tall figure casting a somber gaze on Dr. Bright, who was
seriously explaining the situation to the patient’s family in his white coat.
Cassius’s gaze was deep, and his lips were slightly upturned, forming a beautiful curve.
Chasel kept talking non–stop, and suddenly, he raised his long lashes, looking precisely in Cassius’s
direction. Their gazes met, and Cassius quickly averted his eyes, his heart pounding in his chest.
Chasel chuckled quietly and then reassured them, Dont worry, Chairman Emeric’s condition has
worsened over the past few years, but it’s not as serious as you think, Regular chock–ups, proper care,
and medication will keep it under control.
As for his diet, he should stay away from spicy, salty, and sugary food. Thick blood can increase the
risk of disease”
Upon hearing this, Myra, the family’s culinary queen, nodded incessantly, designing a new menu in her
mind.
“Good lord. He’s going to have to give up all his favorite foods.”
Arnold forced a bitter smile, “He’s going to be miserable when he hears this. He’s got such a picky
palate.”
“He better get used to in. He’s sixty and still doesn’t take care of his health. I’ve caught him sneaking
into the kitchen to eat cake in the middle of the night twice! Where’s the dignity of a business tycoon!”
Evadne exclaimed, shaking her head in disbelief.
“The most important point is to keep his mood stable. Don’t let his emotions fluctuate too much, and
especially don’t let him get angry. Anger can worsen his condition and harm his liver Chasel added
seriously,
Everyone nodded in understanding.
But amidst them, Evadne was like a dark shadow, her long lashes lowered, her heart aching as if it was
tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
After Emeric’s check–up, he returned to Silverlake Harbor with his family
In the living room, Emeric was surrounded by everyone, watching him take his medication and eat the
plain porridge prepared by Myra
–“Can’t have some pickles? This has no flavor Emeric complained as he swallowed the bland porridge.
Everyone chorused, “No! You’re off pickles!!
Emerio was left feeling helpless.
During dinner, Emeric gently told Suri, “Suri, accompany me to the horse racing event this weekend. I
have Mr. Dylan send some dresses to your room later for you to choose from”
Suri showed concern, Emeric, are you sure you should go? You’ve just stabilized. Chase also said you
need more rest. Maybe you should skipit this
year.
“I must go,” Emeric insisted, business matters were not open for discussion. The K Group may have

wellknown as the Abernathy Group or the Chambers Group. This is a rare opportunity to make an
appearance. Plus, I’ve already made plans with Jeff. I can’t cancel now!”
Emeric’s position as the richest man was due to his opportunistic approach, a trait Evadne had
inherited impeccably
She could have been popular as Thaddeus’s ex–wife, but she hid it and shocked the world with her
other identities.
“Would you mind if I asked something, Emeric?
Evadne asked casually, taking a sip of water, “Can you take Myra to the horse race this time?”
Emeric was taken aback, not expecting this request.
“Evadne, I don’t like attending such events. I feel uncomfortable in crowds, and I’m not good at
socializing. It’s best if Suri goes, or even Avianať Myra quickly explained, her face turning red.
“But you seemed to enjoy the county fair, didn’t you?” Evadne countered.
Myra was at a loss for words.
“Suri seems to have sensed Evadne’s intentions and suggested, “Emeric, let Myra go. The media will
start speculating if I’m always the one going?”
Emeric frowned and locked at Myra, asking softly, “Myrie, are you unhappy?”
Myra shook her head vigorously.
Emeric held her trembling hand under the table, saying, “You’ve always avoided public events. I
thought you didn’t like them, and i didn’t want to pressure you. If there’s something you want, you can
tell me, I’ll do my best to fulfill a
‘Emeric, I really don’t,” Myra’s eyes welled up with tears.
Seeing her so unsettled. Emeric felt a pang in his heart.
He thought he had helped Myra overcome her past wounds, but it seemed they were still there, hidden
deep within her. She was merely trying to act normal to keep him from worrying
Ultimately, Emeric decided to take Myra to the event and had Mr. Dylan prepare a dress that matched
her temperament overnight.
For now, everything was under Evadne’s control.
‘Evadne”
After dessert, Myra caught up with Evadne, hesitantly whispering, “Why do you insist I must attend this
year?”
Myra, you can’t hide forever, living like a ghost. It’s too cruel, too unfair. Remember how stunning you
used to be dazzling in the limelight. The media used to rave about you saying you were the dream of
every man in the country” Evadne looked at her intensely.
Thinking of the once glamorous Myra, and now seeing her as a housewife, stripped of her former
glamour, Evadne felt a bitter pang in her heart.
Myra always believed that it was Emeric who saved her, that the Ashbournes accepted her. That was
why she was willing to be his wife, never complaining
“That was all in the past, all because of the producer’s hype”
Myra sighed, a bitter smile on her face, I’ve never thought highly of myself. I just sing and act, it’s my
job, just like any other.”
“No matter what happened in the past, you can’t let haunt you now. You have to step out of the
shadows. You’re not only an elder to us, you’re also Nydia’s mother. You have to be strong for her!”
Evadne’s words struck a chord in Myra’s heart.
Thinking of Nydia, Myra felt a surge of strength, driving away the darkness within her
“You’re right. I’ve been too weak. I’m a mother now, I need to be strong.” Myra said, slightly ashamed.
“There’s one more thing.”
Evadne took her hand, her lips close to Myra’s ear, she whispered, “Wait and see, I have a big surprise

Meanwhile, at the Elmsworth estate.
you.
Thaddeus had been secretly monitoring the actions of the maid who had caused his mother’s death,
careful not to alert her.
On another note, he had managed to keep Ward’s parole a secret, and the criminal who attacked him
was under his control.
Today, Gordon received a call from the prison warden.
“Mr. Abernathy was right! There are indeed people who have been snooping around for information
about Ward! I’ve released the news about Ward’s death as per his instructions!”
“Good job. Mr. Abernathy will not forget your efforts.”
Gordon relayed the message to Thaddeus.
Sitting in his office, Thaddeus was lost in thought, staring at the new screensaver on his phone. It was
a picture of Evadne, basking in the sunlight on their balcony, without any makeup on.
Thaddeus smiled fondly, his fingers gently tracing the image of his lover,
“Wow, Mrs. Abernathy looks so lovely! Anyone would fall for her! Gordon stood behind him, stretching
his neck like a giraffe, his eyes glued to Evadine’s photo.
“Yes, she’s beautiful.
Thaddeus turned around, quickly putting his phone away, a cold glare directed at Gordon, “Who asked
you to look? Mind your own business.
“Gosh, everyone loves beauty, right?” Gordon stood straight, scratching his head awkwardly.
“Love?” Thaddeus darkened, his eyes filled with menace.
1 mean admiral Appreciate Flustered, Gordon wished he could slap himself.
Thaddeus asked in a low voice,” “What is it?”
Great, so Thaddeus hador heard a word he said just now!
So, Gordon had to repeat everything again.
Thaddeus didn’t have much of a reaction, after all, everything was within his control.
“Only by making Elspeth believe Ward is dead, will she let her guard down, thinking she’s safe and
expose more of her weaknesses”
Gordon nodded vigorously, agreeing with Thaddeus.
After a moment of hesitation, he couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Abernathy, if you miss Mrs. Abernathy so
much, why don’t you go to Skyrim to see her? If you go to her, she will surely come out to see you. I
believe Mrs. Abernathy must be missing you too.”
Thaddeus felt a wave of longing, so strong it almost made him rush to see Evadne right away.
But he held back, shaking his head slightly, “No, she’s finally home with her family, I don’t want to
selfishly take away her time with them. Besides, my visit will surely alert Chairman Emeric. I don’t think
Chairman Emeric wants to see me right now”
Seeing Thaddeus so humble, Gordon felt a pang of sympathy, but didn’t know what to say,
Thaddeus, on the other hand, seemed to comfort himself, taking a deep breath, clenching his fist and
murmuring. It’s okay. I have faith that Evadne and______ can overcome any d Miculties. We have
plenty of time.”
Upon hearing the news of Ward’s death, Glynnis was so thrilled she started dancing around the
mansion, scaring the servants who thought he might have inherited some sort of madness from her
mother.
Of course, she rushed to tell Elspeth the good news!
“Really? Ward is really dead?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMother and daughter locked themselves in the bedroom, not even daring to turn on the lights. They sat
in the darkness, discussing excitedly like two rats in a sewer.
“He’s dead! The warden himself said so, there’s no mistake!
“Good. This is so good!”
Elspeth caressed Glynnis’s hand, praising her, “Glynnis, you’re the best, the most capable! You’ve
done a great job. I really need to thank your
“Mom, do you remember what you promised me?” Glynnis asked, her voice icy cold.
Elspeth was silent for a moment in the darkness, then got up and went to the bedside table. She pulled
out a file from the drawer and tossed it in front of Glynnis
Glynnis immediately picked it up, clutching it like at
“Take it home and see for yourself:
She couldn’t wait another minute!
a treasure, “Mom, what is this?”
Glynnis got up abruptly, heading for the door without a word.
“Wait” Elspeth suddenly called out to her.
“Mom, what is it?”
really don’t understand. What good does it do you to ruin your sister’s marriage?”
Elspeth looked at her with an icy stare, a mixture of contempt and confusion. “Just because Jareth
rejected you, you want to get even? Even if you break them up, Jareth will never fall for you, and you’ll
never be accepted into the Fairhaven familly”
“You’re right,” Glynnis snapped, clutching her document bag tightly. Her face twisted into something
grotesque as her mouth twitched. “Human beings live to defend their pride, What’s wrong with what I
did?”
The ones in the wrong were Marila and Jareth!
Upon returning to her room, Glynnis immediately pulled out the contents of the document bag.
To her shock, it was a diagnostic report that Marilla had a mental disorder, aution
Glynnis‘ eyes glinted maliciously as she erupted into laughter.
This diagnosis, to the Abernathy family, was a deep secret!
After all, who would want to air their dirty laundry and let others know their child had a mental disorder?
The rich and famous naturally cared about their reputation.
If this diagnosis fell into the hands of the Fairhaven family, Marilla’s dream of marrying Jareth would be
a joke!
Barry only had one grandson, Jareth, his chosen heir, He would never tolerate his granddaughter–in–
law being a fool!
Glynnis was so excited that her hands trembled. She picked up her phone and called Edith
“What do you want now?” Edith drowled lazily, her mouth hardly opening, probably because she was
applying a face mask.
Glynnis snorted, her voice cold. “Are you free tomorrow? Come out. I have something to show you.
Something that will completely shatter Maria’s dreams of marrying into the Fairhaven family.”
Edith teased, “Oh, you really get a kick out of trying to ruin your own sister, don’t you?Even though I
dislike Marilla, I don’t want you to marry into our family. If you can treat your own sister so badly, what
will you do to me if you become my sister–in–law and one day you don’t like me? I’m scared.”
The feeling’s mutual. Your concerns are my concerns, I’ll take your words as a compliment.” Glynnis
rolled her eyes.
“Whether Marilla gets into the Fairhaven family or not, I might soon be your legitimate sister–in-law.”
Edith hummed a tune, feeling extremely pleased. “Better start saving for the wedding gift.”
“Are you really getting married? Did Thaddeus agree to marry you? Glynnis expressed doubt,
“You will be at the horse racing event, won’t you?”
Edith laughed mysteriously, “Come and you’ll find out”
