His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 106

Evadne's soft but clear voice left everyone in the room gobsmacked!

Hamiltion and Frederic stood there, jaws dropped to the floor.

Acacia instantly felt a chill down her spine, her face as pale as a ghost, while Elspeth and Glynnis were also equally stunned.

Who would've guessed that this seemingly ordinary woman, discarded like yesterday's news, was actually the daughter of Emeric, Skyrim's richest man, a bloody heiress!

"Was this for real?"

Glynnis nervously tugged at Elspeth, only to get impatiently shrugged off.

"Zip it!"

Thaddeus was completely floored, his mind a whirlwind of shock and confusion, feeling like he was just about to drown in his own emotions!

Ilana had used to take care of Mr. Hamiltion as a caregiver and even became his wife. How could she possibly be Evadne, the heiress of the Ashbourne group?

He took a deep breath and walked up to Evadne, forcing his puffy red eyes open, staring at this face that was both familiar and strange.

Evadne turned her head away, avoiding his gaze.

Whether out of guilt or annoyance, she didn't want to have too much interaction with him.

"So it's really you?" Thaddeus's voice was low and hesitant.

"Yeah." She answered coldly, her gaze steady.

"So, it was you who fought back against the Stirling group, and it was you who made me climb ten floors."

"Don't bother asking anymore, and it was all me. I'm the general manager of K Orld Hotel, and I'm Emeric's daughter that he has never shown to the public, Evadne," she cut him off, her tone icy, "But don't get me wrong. As a top executive of the hotel, everything I did was for the benefit of the hotel, not against you. As for that time, I sent a stand-in to meet you. You should understand why. I concealed my identity to avoid unnecessary troubles so we could end this relationship peacefully, so I didn't meet you in person."

Evadne paused, lowering her head sadly, "On this matter, I lied to you. I'm sorry. I apologize."

She had deceived him again, and this time, the deception was far more severe than before.

However, Thaddeus didn't feel as angry as he had imagined. He wanted to know why.

Why would she give up a life of wealth to be a simple caregiver by Mr. Hamiltion's side? Why would she endure all the humiliation and marry him knowing he didn't love her?

"So you and Cassius, and Arnold Ashbourne?"

"They're all my brothers, same father, same mother."

Having said that, Evadne didn't pay any more attention to Thaddeus and walked towards Emeric.

Thaddeus took a deep breath, his heart pounding, feeling like there was a weight on his chest.

At this time, Jason also hurried over, and seeing Chairman Emeric and Evadne together, he quickly put two and two together.

"Chairman Emeric, Ms. Evadne."

"Mr. Jason, go help Cassius. He's drunk, Evadne probably can't hold him up."

Though Emeric was fuming, he couldn't afford to make a scene in front of the Abernathy family in this current chaotic situation, so he had to suppress his anger and leave this place first.

Jason quickly stepped forward to steady Cassius, Thaddeus wanted to help but was coldly rejected by Evadne.

"There's no need, and we can handle it."

Thaddeus gave an awkward smile, embarrassingly dropping his hand.

"Jason, contact the Ashbourne group's doctor immediately and take Cassius to the hospital. He might need his stomach pumped," Evadne ordered seriously.

"Pump his stomach?! Didn't President Ashbourne just get drunk?"

"Cassius didn't just get drunk." Evadne glared at the Abernathy family, "He was drugged. His current reaction is due to the influence of the drug!"

Everyone was shocked.

And the three women of the Abernathy family had different expressions on their faces.

Especially Glynnis, her legs were trembling.

Emeric's face was stern.

He had felt something was off with Cassius from the start. He had good drinking habits and wouldn't get drunk and make a scene at Mr. Hamiltion's birthday party, there must be something wrong!

Added to that Elspeth's exposure of his relationship with Evadne in front of Emeric, then the discovery of Cassius and Evadne together.

It's all too coincidental, like a carefully planned trap!

"After I sang for Mr. Hamiltion, a maid found me, saying Cassius wasn't feeling well and was resting in his room, asking me to check on him. I care about Cassius, so I went without a second thought. I didn't expect this to happen."

Evadne clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with deep anger, "Cassius protected me, holding onto shards from a broken vase, hurting himself to stay calm, foiling their plans! Because I've been hiding my identity, the Abernathy family didn't know I was actually part of the Ashbourne family, so they dared to make a move on me. But they didn't know I'm President Ashbourne's sister. If they did, they wouldn't have done this."

Emeric, heartbroken, held back his anger, scoffing, "Frederic, I think you owe me an explanation for tonight or don't blame me for not caring about your reputation!"

"I'm sure there's a misunderstanding!" Frederic was so anxious he couldn't even speak clearly.

Emeric waved his hand in annoyance, "I don't want to hear it! Evadne and Cassius, one was harmed in your house, and the other is already in trouble! I don't care if the Abernathy family was responsible. It happened in your house, you have to give me an explanation!"

"You're making it hard for me!" Frederic was so frustrated his face turned red, fuming with anger.

"The poison didn't end up in your son's cup. What's so hard about that." Emeric squinted his eyes, "Are you unable to investigate, or are you too scared to?"

Frederic clenched his teeth, so angry he was dizzy.

Seeing Emeric so determined to protect her and Cassius, Evadne's eyes welled up, filled with warmth.

Although he's a flirt, Emeric was good to his family!

Acacia's dress was soaked in cold sweat, and Glynnis, having worse mental stability, started to back off, ready to run.

"Miss Glynnis, where do you think you're going?"

Hearing this, Glynnis was so scared she almost screamed. She looked up quickly.

Jareth's eyes were cold as ice as he walked over steadily.

Everyone saw he was holding a sleeping girl in his arms.

Glynnis was so pissed, her hatred uncontrollably spreading in her reddened eyes.

The girl being held and carefully protected by the man she loved was Marilla Abernathy!
