His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 274

The moment Nydia caught sight of that woman, her pupils contracted sharply, and her back was drenched with cold sweat. She trembled more violently in Jason's arms.

The woman, named Mia, was a classmate of hers, who had always been at odds with her. She troubled Nydia time and again, bullied her, and humiliated her.

Suddenly, Jason remembered hearing Miss Nydia mention that she was terrified of crossing the street and was frightened by the speeding cars.

Back in the day, when Myra married Emeric, they had many children, all of whom were quite young. Some out of jealousy of the Ashbourne family's power. They couldn't hurt Emeric, so they turned their malicious intentions towards his children.

At that time, they believed that Myra was the least favored among the wives, and her children were the least favored among the siblings. They sent someone to attack Nydia, who was only seven at the time, vowing to make Chairman Emeric suffer the pain of losing a child.

Although in the end, Nydia's life was spared, and she only suffered minor injuries, and Emeric managed to ruin the opposing family, the incident left a deep scar on Nydia's heart.

At this thought, Jason's breath hitched, and a surge of anger welled up within him.

"Miss Nydia, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Nydia forced a smile, attempting to appear calm.

But her pale face and the cold sweat on her forehead betrayed her inner fear.

At this point, the seductive woman named Mia glanced their way.

Seeing Nydia in the arms of such a handsome man, Mia's eyes darkened with barely concealed annoyance and jealousy.

She shifted her gaze and saw that this handsome man was driving a Porsche that cost a mere hundred thousand or so. Her twisted expression gradually became angrier, filled with disdain and contempt.

"Poor and cheap trash."

Her voice was not loud, but both Jason and Nydia heard it.

Jason was furious, his eyes turning red. "Miss Nydia, please wait for me. I'll be right back."

"N-No, Jason!"

Nydia was panicked, but it was too late. Jason had already walked up to the woman with a cold expression.

"Who were you talking about just now?"

"Did I say anything? You must have heard wrong," Mia looked at the handsome man in front of her, her tone less harsh, but her attitude was still arrogant.

Jason clenched his teeth, balling his fists.

He knew this woman was insulting Nydia, but she wouldn't admit it, and he couldn't hit a woman!

It was infuriating!

"Mr. Chambers, thank you for dropping me off! I'll be waiting for your next invitation." Mia blew a kiss towards the car window, her voice was sickly sweet.

Mr. Chambers?

Matthew Chambers, the President of the Chambers Group?

Jason frowned, there was no movement from within the darkened car windows. The engine roared as if in mockery.

Feeling a surge of anger for Nydia, he knocked on the car window.

"Just now, your car nearly grazed my sister. Are you planning on just leaving like this?"

Nydia bit her lip, her heart sinking.

She didn't want Jason to confront Mia on her behalf. She didn't want to have any conflict with Mia!

However, there was still no response from inside the car.

"Hey, how can you talk like that? The road is wide enough for us to drive normally. When did Mr. Chambers' car graze you?"

Mia crossed her arms, sneering in derision. "Don't tell me you're trying to scam us? You look decent enough, how could you stoop so low?"

Jason's brow furrowed, he was about to retort when the car window rolled down halfway.

Thump.

A stack of bills was thrown out, landing on Jason like discarded paper, a clear act of humiliation.

"You!"

Jason glared at the person in the car, but the next moment, the Ferrari sped off, disappearing into the night.

Seeing him humiliated, Nydia frowned in sympathy, her body trembling with anger.

"Bro, this is a gift from Mr. Chambers, accept it."

Mia, seeing Mr. Chambers gone, completely dropped her pretense.

In front of Nydia, she pressed her chest against Jason, reaching out to touch his collar. "Bro, you seem well-mannered and handsome. Why would you hang out with a woman like Nydia, who's notorious and cheap? You're really lowering your standards. Or maybe, Ah!"

Unexpectedly, Jason stepped back sharply, causing Mia to stumble.

She was wearing high heels, lost her balance, and promptly fell to her knees!

She ended up bowing deeply to Jason and Nydia.

Nydia covered her mouth, barely suppressing her laughter.

"It hurts. Damn it!"

"Who do you think? You, of course!" Mia was so angry she wasn't feeling the pain anymore.

"Oh, I thought you were introducing yourself." Nydia retorted coolly.

Caught off guard by Nydia's sudden sassiness, Mia was taken aback.

"And, before you call someone else a whore, you might want to take a look at yourself."

Nydia decided to stand her ground, her sharp words piercing Mia's pride, "The man you're after is Mr. Chambers of the Chambers Group, right? Everyone in Elmsworth knows he's married. His wife is a beauty. I don't know what he sees in you. A gentleman like Mr. Chambers shouldn't have such bad taste."

Enraged, Mia shouted, "You don't know anything! I'm young, beautiful, and irresistible. Mr. Chambers falling for me is only natural!"

"I suppose that's true. After having a taste of all the delicacies, a bit of junk food must be refreshing." Nydia sneered.

"Junk? Who are you calling junk?" Mia's face turned the color of liver.

"Who do you think? You, of course." Nydia used Mia's own words against her.

Mia, unable to outwit Nydia, raised her hand and slapped her across the face.

The burning pain spread throughout her body, and Nydia's cheek instantly swelled.

This wasn't the first time Mia had slapped her. During their time at the university, Mia would take advantage of their roles in plays and performances to slap her. She even colluded with their teachers and class monitors to cast Nydia in roles where she'd be abused, all to satisfy her own twisted desires.

Mia sneered, "Just because you're dating some rich boy who drives a Porsche, don't think I won't dare to touch you!"

Nydia just looked at her, thinking how ridiculous she was.

The Chambers Group was a longstanding business partner of her family's. When she was very young, she had even been held by Jeff Chambers.

"Oh, really? Then I hope you achieve your goal of ruining me. If Mr. Chambers still considers you a side dish by then."

"You!"

Just as Nydia was about to walk away, she paused. "Oh, by the way, this is for you."

Before Mia could react, there was a sharp smack!

Nydia had slapped her right back, harder and fiercer than the slap Mia had given her!

"You dare to hit me?" Mia, shocked, held her cheek. She hadn't expected the usually submissive Nydia to fight back.

"Why shouldn't I hit you? Do I need a special occasion?"

Nydia lifted her chin in defiance, her eyes flashing with a cold regal light, and Mia felt a chill down her spine. "This slap is to let you know that I'm not your plaything. I didn't retaliate before because I didn't want to lower myself to your level. And the man who drives the Porsche is the man I love. If you dare to make a move on him again, I won't hesitate to make your life a living hell!"
