Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489 

The moment Edgar strode into the rooms, Declan’s face flushed a shade of crimson 

The history between the Blair and Odom families was no secret, and the Blair family’s recent actione had left the Odoms smarting from public humiliation. 

Declan’s smile was more a grimace, but with all eyes on him, he steeled himself and extended a hand. Before he could grasp Edgar’s, the latter withdrew and asked.” Where’s Jade?” 

To the casual observer, Edgar still cut the figure of a man hopelessly in love. The room buzzed with whispers as Shelia descended the staircase. 

Clad in a couture gown that shimmered under the chandeliers, and dripping in jewels that could fund a small nation, Shelia commanded attention. 

Guests flocked to her, their congratulations echoing through the marbled hall. 

Having attended many events with Juan in the past, she smiled politely in poise, as if she were already the future Mrs. Nichols. 

“Dad,” Shelia cooed, sidling up to Declan. 

He beamed with pride, patting her hand. “You’re the picture of elegance.” 

Shelia’s gaze shifted to Edgar, her lips curving into a triumphant smile. “Edgar, how kind of you to join us!” 

Edgar’s eyes narrowed as he noted the change in her demeanor. Gone was the terrified girl he once knew, replaced by this confident, calculating woman. With Juan now backing her, she wasn’t afraid of him exposing her identity. 

“Congratulations! You’ve finally gotten what you wanted,” Edgar said, taking her outstretched hand. 

He gave it a slight squeeze, his eyes conveying a silent warning. 

Shelia, feigning ignorance, smiled sweetly. “Yes, isn’t it wonderful? And I have you to thank, Edgar. Without your help, my path to marrying Juan wouldn’t have been so 

smooth.” 

Turning to Declan, she added, “Dad, we should thank Edgar properly, don’t you think?” 

“Of course, Edc like a son to me,” Declan agreed.

He patted Edgar on the shoulder. “Now, if you’ll excuse us, there are other guests we must greet.” 

The dismissal was clear, and Edgar bristled. “Declan, have I fallen out of your favor?”
