His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 732

"Got it," Thaddeus said, his voice as dark as the storm clouds gathering on the horizon. He hung up the phone, with frustration etched across his handsome features. "Glynnis has to choose now of all times to sneak off in the dead of night to meet with Edith. Isn't that convincing enough that she's involved in leaking Marilla's medical records? Isn't it clear they've been in cahoots all along?"

Jareth, with eyes flaming red as a fox's, clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and he slammed one of his fists down on the mattress with enough force to almost tear it apart.

"Your sister has probably been in league with Gary from the start, and might've even tipped off Barry behind the scenes. Otherwise, their plan wouldn't be running so smoothly, so damn timely. I’m afraid they've been plotting this for ages."

Jareth suddenly recalled the night when he went to deliver the engagement invitations to Barry and bumped into Edith, who was there delivering some tea.

She was never that diligent before.

Looking back, it was a clear case of 'no good deed goes unpunished'—either treachery or theft!

"She's not my sister," Jareth repeated, his eyes reddening with each iteration.

With each repetition, he tore Edith apart in his heart filled with loathing.

"But she's the darling of your grandfather and your mother, the flesh and blood of your father, and she’s written into the Fairhaven family tree." Thaddeus said, pressing firmly on Jareth's trembling shoulders. "And even if our deductions are spot-on, without concrete evidence, every move you make could be used against you by them when they strike back."

These were the words Evadne often told him.

And now, he passed them on to his best friend.

"Don't get complacent just because you're the CEO now. They've got plenty of ways to take you down and to keep you out of Fairhaven business. Don't hand them the sword to do it. Revenge isn't accomplished overnight. And what Edith did this time has hit Barry right in the heart. If you go after her, you might just end up burning yourself."

As Thaddeus spoke, his eyes were icy and, his husky voice was filled with resolve, "As for Glynnis, I'll handle her."

"But Glynnis and Edith, what's the difference between them?"

Jareth grabbed his arm, his eyes blazing with urgency, "If you go after Glynnis, Mr. Frederic will take it as an insult to the Abernathy name, and he'll use it as an excuse to suppress you and to make things difficult for you!"

"Don't worry, I have my ways."

Thaddeus smirked slightly, "I think my wife has even better ideas."

When Thaddeus arrived back at Havenbrook, night had already fallen.

As soon as he walked through the door, Mr. Murray and Evadne came to greet him, telling him that Marilla had woken up.

"Is Marilla okay?" Thaddeus asked, wrapping his arm around her with deep concern.

Evadne sighed and shook her head while gently rubbing his cold hands, "Not so good. Grandpa stayed with her for a while, but he went back to his room to rest ‘cause he wasn't feeling well. Now Lily is with her. How about Jareth? Is he okay?"

"I took him to the hospital; he came down with a high fever from the cold. Thankfully, he's strong and he's holding up."
