His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 702

As time marched on, the weekend arrived.

Tonight, the Chambers Estate was a spectacle of opulence and grandeur. The grand fountain at the heart of the courtyard was restarted with vigor, while the mansion's halls bloomed with floral arrangements, resembling a lavish palace.

Guests converged in the main hall, with fine attire and perfumed hair, the clinking of glasses and lively banter filling the air.

Ever since Bertha Chambers had faced a harsh sentence, and Byron met a grim end behind bars, a series of business blunders had sent the Chambers Group's stocks tumbling. The entire group was reeling from an unprecedented blow, a shadow of gloom over it for far too long. But tonight, the Chambers shone brightly once more.

Jeff walked among the guests with Matthew and Elva, basking in the adulation that hadn’t graced their ears in a long time, pride swelling within him.

“Look! Mrs. Chambers’ gown—isn't that a Eunice original?"

"Indeed, it is! Camille's signature style is unmistakable, it’s absolutely stunning!"

"It's amazing what the right clothes can do. She used to be just arm candy next to Matthew, but tonight? She's stealing the show!"

As compliments swirled around him, Matthew stood tall, a look of smug satisfaction on his face. His wife is being complimented, which reflected well on him too, and he felt greatly pleased inside.

"Elva, you're making me proud tonight."

He caressed his wife's delicate hand, whispering with a chuckle, "Wait until we get home—I’ll give you a proper reward."

Elva suppressed her disgust, her lips curling into a charming smile.

"Where's Avery?"

Jeff scanned the room, his brow furrowed. "At such a critical moment, how can he be missing?"

"Mr. Avery's secretary mentioned he went to personally greet a distinguished guest," Elva chimed in.

"Hah, his 'distinguished guest' wouldn't happen to be that Ashbourne girl, would it?" Matthew scoffed with disdain.

Elva bowed her head, staying silent.

Jeff's expression darkened, clearly irritated, “I heard Thaddeus has already been on Emeric's good side, living at the Ashbourne's Silverlake Harbor residence. The Ashbourne family has all fully accepted him; his remarriage to Evadne is just a matter of time!

When will Avery give up on that wretched girl? How long will he remain stubbornly infatuated!"

At that moment, the secretary hurried over.

"Mr. Jeff, Ms. Ashbourne and Mr. Thaddeus have arrived."

The Chambers men's faces twisted in unison—equally displeased.

They had indeed sent an invitation to the Abernathy Group, but it was Frederic they expected.

They hadn't anticipated that instead of Mr. Frederic, this notorious duo would grace their doorstep!

A top-tier luxury car pulled up in front of the main entrance.

Dressed in a sleek black tuxedo, Thaddeus stepped out first, his striking features and commanding presence drawing admiring glances. But this the esteemed man reached back into the vehicle and assumed the role of a servant.

A delicate, graceful hand as fair as fine porcelain reached out.

With a charming smile, Thaddeus took hold of Evadne, leading her down from the car.

Tonight, this lady wore an elegantly simple off-shoulder, figure-hugging white mermaid gown that accentuated her mature, enchanting curves.

"Evadne, are you cold?" Thaddeus whispered close to her ear.

His hand found the small of her back, squeezing the soft flesh that he found irresistible.

"I'm alright, it's just a few steps to the door," Evadne replied, her eyes meeting his with a warm smile.
