His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 312

Debby's return was a delightful surprise for the Ashbourne family!

As Debby's biological mother, Suri was the most composed and dignified of the three ladies of the household. Over the years, few had ever seen her shed a tear. Seeing her daughter, she managed to keep her emotions in check, her eyes merely welling up.

But her stepmothers, Myra and Aviana, were far more emotional. They threw their arms around Debby, weeping uncontrollably. One might have mistaken Suri for the stepmother!

"Alright, alright! Have you two had enough?"

Emeric stood by, his handsome face twisted in complaint, "It's my turn now!"

Everyone was speechless.

Reluctantly, Myra and Aviana let go.

Without missing a beat, Emeric rushed forward, embracing Debby tightly, crying even harder than the women, "Oh, my daughter! I've missed you so much! I thought you'd forgotten about me after getting married. You never came home to visit! You ungrateful girl! "

They were all speechless.

Seeing Emeric making a scene, Evadne, his other daughter, was mortified.

Thankfully, they were all family in the living room.

"Well, at least he didn't embarrass us in public," she thought, relieved.

"Dad, I never forgot about you. I'm here to see you now, aren't I?"

Debby soothed her father, patting his back gently, "Darcy has been really busy recently. I've been helping with the election campaign. I only told him I was coming home after I boarded the plane. Dad, I'm not ungrateful. I've always been thinking of you. Don't be angry, okay? I brought you a set of fine bone china. You'll love it."

Everyone watched her, feeling sympathy for her.

Years ago, she had gone against her father's wishes and married Darcy, a congressman who was ten years her senior. She had moved to a foreign land for love, seeing her family less often.

Little did they know, the Ashbourne's daughter would shine brightly in another country. Aside from the Queen, she was the second most admired woman in Helgen, voted by the public.

Such a high social status was something even Evadne couldn't match. It made her proud to have such an accomplished and influential sister.

"Where's the gift? Where is it?" Emeric finally managed to hold back his tears, his curiosity piqued.

He was just like a child who stopped throwing a tantrum after being given a lollipop!

"I met your secretary when I arrived. I've already given him the gift, along with the jewelry for Myra."

As she spoke, Debby looked at Myra gently, "Happy birthday, Myra."

"The fact that you're here is the best gift, Debby." Myra's eyes welled up again. She was always so emotional.

"What about your husband? Didn't he send anything?" Emeric raised an eyebrow, still not satisfied.

"Emeric, that's enough."

Evadne rolled her eyes at her father's insatiable curiosity. "You've got enough antiques and collectibles to start a museum. You won't take them with you when you die. What's the point of having so many?"

"Hmph, you're young! You don't understand!" Emeric retorted, pouting.

Evadne just laughed, "You're just greedy. If we were in ancient times, you'd be a corrupt official."

"And what would you be?"

Evadne lifted her chin proudly, "I'd be Samuel Johnson, the famous critic and moralist, always keeping the corrupt in check!"

Everyone in the room laughed.

"Hey, wasn't our brother supposed to be here by now? What's taking him so long?" Evadne asked.

Cassius checked his watch, "I'll give him a call."

Meanwhile, just a few hundred meters away from the Hotel.

Camille was driving her pink Ferrari, talking on the phone via Bluetooth, waiting for the traffic light to change.

"Get me the design for the Paris Fashion Week showcase ASAP. If there's any more nonsense, I will officially cut ties with them! If they ever want to hold a show in Elmsworth in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless and tripping them up!"

The light changed to green, and Camille, still fuming, floored the accelerator.

Her Ferrari shot out like a pink bolt of lightning.

Just then, a discreet Mercedes E-Class came speeding from the opposite direction. Both of them were turning, one left, the other right, and both were going too fast!

"Ah! God!"

Camille was distracted by her phone call and didn't notice the black sedan. She slammed on the brakes, sparks flying from the tires as they skidded on the asphalt!

The Mercedes driver also realized the danger and slammed on his brakes as well. The screeching sound was ear-piercing!

Then there was a crash!

Camille's body jerked violently in the car as the airbags deployed, hitting her right in the face!

Luckily, the windshield only shattered, not exploded. Otherwise, she might have been disfigured!

"Damn! I must have had some bad luck today.”

Camille opened the car door, rubbing her neck, her face twisted with anger as she got out of the car.

Her limited-edition pink Ferrari was now a wreck!
