His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 437

The annual extravaganza had arrived, right on schedule.

Every year, the Horse Racing event was not just attended by the members of the country's most affluent families, but it was also broadcasted live on all major platforms by the government. Even members of royal families from allied countries participated, making it an unprecedentedly grand affair.

The honor of hosting the event rotated among the affluent families every year.

This year, it was the turn of the Chambers family.

The race was held at the newly built Central Park Racecourse, a project of the Chambers family that was less than six months old. The racecourse hadn't even been officially opened yet, and it was already hosting such a grand event. This delighted Jeff to no end!

Could there be a better stroke of luck, a more impactful publicity stunt?

A win-win situation!

Over at the Abernathy Group, Hamilton, due to his old age and retirement from the front line, hardly attended such events anymore. So today, it was Frederic and his wife Elspeth who were headed to the racecourse, while Thaddeus would make his way there alone.

Just as they were about to leave, Glynnis came rushing out in her sky-high heels, dressed in a tight, sexy pink mini dress.

Frederic coldly eyed her inappropriate and over-the-top attire, shook his head, and said, "The racecourse is an outdoor venue. When a gust of wind blows, I wonder what you plan to do in that short dress of yours!"

With that, he turned and got into the car, leaving Elspeth and Glynnis standing there.

Glynnis was seething inside, but she didn't dare show it. After all, opportunities like this were rare, and she couldn't afford to anger Frederic again.

Just as Elspeth was about to get into the car, Glynnis grabbed her and whispered, "Mom, did you put that thing on?"

"Umm." Elspeth's expression was extremely awkward.

Before putting on the adult diaper this morning, she had to psych herself up for quite a while. Even though it worked like a sanitary pad, she felt utterly embarrassed. It was hard for her to keep her face straight.

She was the wife of the Abernathy Group's tycoon! How old was she that she had to use such a thing. It was just too disgraceful!

"Mom, did you bring extras? Your incontinence is severe, how could one diaper suffice?" Glynnis was extremely worried.

"How am I supposed to carry them? Where am I supposed to keep such a big thing? You really talk as if you have no cares in the world!"

Elspeth blushed, clenched her teeth, and said, "The ladies attending the event at most carry a clutch. If I carry a big bag, it would invite ridicule! One is enough, if need be, I'll just not drink water! Besides, once I get through today, I won't have to wear such a ghastly thing ever again!"

With that, Elspeth, too, got into the car, leaving Glynnis alone in the other car, mulling over her words.

Once I get through today? What did she mean?

Suddenly, it hit her like a ton of bricks!

At 10 a.m. sharp, the Central Park Racecourse was bustling with excitement.

The number of spectators at this year's Horse Racing event was more than double compared to previous years, exceeding the organizer's expectations!

The best seats on the second floor were reserved for the four big families—

The Abernathy Group, the Chambers Group, the Fairhaven Group, and the Ashbourne Group from Skyrim.

Many socialites and heiresses were jealously eyeing the area with their binoculars.

Some of them had tried to sneak into that section, but the security there was tight. Except for a member of the four big families or a guest invited by them, no one would be allowed to step foot into the area.

"Glynnis and Edith are simply lucky to be born into such families. When it comes to beauty and elegance, they are nowhere near deserving of the young masters of the Chambers family and the Abernathy family!"

"Exactly! Of all the socialites, the only one who truly impresses me is Evadne, the young lady of the Ashbourne family."

"Indeed, not only is Evadne of noble birth, but she is also a CEO, an internationally renowned jewelry designer. What can Glynnis and Edith do apart from posing and posturing?

Without their family background, they are nothing, not even worth the dirt on Evadne's high heels!"

"And what's the big deal about having a divorce? She's still the discarded wife of the Abernathy family." One of the high-society ladies commented sarcastically.

The two young rich girls chatting gave her a disdainful look, "Evadne is the only daughter of Chairman Emeric's lawful wife, a genuine blue-blooded heiress. Some people are just jealous!"

"Exactly! It's the 21st century, and people still think divorced women are damaged goods. For women with wealth and power, marriage is just a burden!"

"Absolutely! Did you watch that interview? Thaddeus admitted that he cheated during their marriage. Why would she want to keep a man like that around? Surely, Evadne must have dumped him!"

The high-society lady was left seething but speechless.

With all the ups and downs she had been through, Evadne's popularity was growing in Elmsworth.

Talented, kind, beautiful, and noble— who wouldn't love a woman like that?

The Chambers family, being the hosts, were the first to enter.

The Abernathy family was next. Frederic and Elspeth made their appearance hand-in-hand before the media, ending the rumors of their marital discord.

Glynnis followed behind them, strutting her stuff, treating every place with a camera like her own stage, acting like a celebrity on the red carpet.

Unfortunately for her, not a single camera was focused on her.

All the media attention was on Frederic and Elspeth. Despite all her efforts, she couldn't outshine her own mother. As the saying goes, any publicity is good publicity, right?

Even though she didn't have a good reputation, she still couldn't stink worse than Elspeth.

What a failure.

"What? Mr. Abernathy isn't coming? I've been waiting for so long!" A fangirl reporter complained.

"How could that be possible? Just wait a bit longer!"

"Everyone from the four big families will be here today. Wow. Won't that be a battlefield?"

Excited journalists were adjusting their camera angles, ready to capture any juicy moment, "Evadne is sure to appear, and Edith is definitely going to be there. When these two women meet, it's going to be a showdown - the ex-wife and the rumored lover. Poor Mr. Abernathy, what a predicament!

Gosh, just thinking about it makes my skin crawl. I'm on the edge of my seat!"

"Remember when Ms. Evadne held the funeral for the Abernathy family's maid? Mr. Abernathy declared in front of all the reporters that he belonged to Evadne. That was a blatant confession."

"Did he really mean it, though? The nerve of him!"

"Men are smooth talkers, probably just clearing his name for his past infidelity! How will he explain his late-night secret meetings with Edith at the hotel? If Evadne still wants to get back with Thaddeus after all this, she must be blind and fooled. I have absolutely no respect for her!"

Just as people from the Abernathy Group entered the venue, the Fairhaven family's car arrived.

A line of sleek, black cars made an impressive display, which was very much in line with the Fairhaven Group's extravagant and ostentatious style.

The bodyguard opened the car door, and Gary got out first, followed by Mrs. Fairhaven and Edith.

"Dad, take it slow."

"Grandpa, let me help you!"

Gary and Edith made a great show of unity in front of the media, supporting Barry from both sides, demonstrating their filial piety.

Barry seemed to be in a good mood, even cracking a small smile, which was unusual for him.

Suddenly, he paused, looking around in surprise, "Where's my eldest grandson? Why isn't he here?"

"Jareth couldn't possibly miss this event, he's just tied up with something, I suppose he'll be a bit late." Mrs. Fairhaven quickly explained for her son.

"I wonder if it's a matter that's holding him up, or a person?" Gary teased.
