His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Evadne picked up the phone in a hurry and asked softly, “What’s up, Arnold?” “Evadne! It’s like pulling teeth to get you on the phone; are you that busy?” Arnold sounded pretty stressed out. “What’s going on?” Evadne frowned deeply. “Did Elvis reach out to you today?” “No, what happened?” Arnold sighed heavily, looking like he lost his last friend. “We had a few drinks last night, and he let some things slip that he shouldn’t have!” Evadne’s heart ski pped a beat. Elvis had an interesting quirk. They can’t take the word of a drunk man seriously, but when Elvis was drunk, he always followed through the next day! Most drunk people may forget what they blurted out, but Elvis had a photographic memory. Even if he’s so drunk he can’t stand straight, he can still remember everything he said, which was a handy skill for a top-cla** agent. “What did Elvis say?” Evadne felt even more anxious, sensing that something was not quite right. “He said he’s going to give Unfaithful Thaddeus a piece of his mind!” Evadne’s head started to spin. If it wasn’t for Cas sius supporting her, she would have lost her footing. “Elvis came all the way back here just to settle a score for you! He said last night that he was going to teach Thaddeus a lesson. Even if it doesn’t kill him, it will punish him severely. Otherwise, he won’t be able to get this grudge off his chest! I thought he would listen to you and not lay a finger on Thaddeus easily, but I didn’t expect him to bring it up again when he was drunk last night. I’ve been trying to reach him all day, and he hasn’t picked up! He wouldn’t really be planning to make a move on Thaddeus, would he?” Evadne’s heart was pounding. She didn’t have time to explain further. She turned around and made a

beeline for the church doors. At the press conference. Since Glynnis Abernathy’s apology lacked sincerity, the netizens watching the live broadcast were pis sed off and heavily criticized her. Before she came, Elspeth had personally prepared an apology draft for her to memorize and repeatedly reminded her not to wear makeup on stage. But Glynnis was too arrogant. On one hand, she was still too proud to genuinely admit her mistakes. On the other hand, she thought she could take advantage of this opportunity to gain attention as “the most beautiful rich girl” with her beautiful face. As a result, her plan backfired spectacularly, causing a whole lot of trouble instead. (I’m totally digging the K Group’s hotels now; not only is their service top-notch, but they also have amazing employees like ‘Angel Girl’. This is the kind of business that should be raking in the dough!]

(I am so done with the Abernathy group! I’m never booking their hotel again when I travel!] [Yeah, boycott! I hope the Abernathy group goes belly up soon!] As soon as Glynnis’s apology was over, the reporters flooded the stage like a swarm of bees, with microphones practically up her nose, and the questions they asked were sharper than a razor. She had never experienced this kind of situation before and was scared stiff. Under the protection of two bodyguards, she slunk off the stage. However, she didn’t notice the stairs and twisted her ankle, falling down with a scream. It was so embarra**ing! This scene was captured by countless flashes. Two tall bodyguards quickly helped Glynnis, who had fallen and couldn’t get up, just like picking up a frail chick, and quickly left. Five minutes later, a trending topic titled “Glynnis Takes a Tumble” instantly gained high discussion and attention. As she wished, she became the center of internet gossip.

At that time, Thaddeus and Jareth were coming out of the Sapphire Nights Club, supporting each other. The two of them had gone from a tense standoff to a friendly relationship after drinking. Perhaps a good drink can solve those unspeakable problems. Both of them had drunk quite a bit. Jareth was a good drinker, so he was still sober tonight. However, Thaddeus, due to drinking too much whiskey and being in a bad mood, had a watery look in his eyes at the moment. Half-closing his eyes, he loosened his perfect tie, and his handsome face showed signs of drunkenness. Jareth was worried that he would fall down the stairs, so he hurriedly supported him. “Thad, are you drunk?” “I’m not drunk; how could I possibly get drunk?” Thaddeus rubbed his eyebrows, feeling light-headed. “How can your alcohol be this strong? Is it fake?” “Oh my G od! You’re really unreasonable! Is this why you drove Ilana away?” Jareth looked at Thaddeus, who was panting with drunken eyes; his half-exposed neck flushed attractively. He couldn’t help but swallow. Thankfully, he was not attracted to men; otherwise, faced with such a beautiful man, even a man of weak will might be tempted. Thaddeus exhaled a hot breath, pushed Jareth away, and said, “Let’s go.” “Hey, hey, let me walk you.” “I’m not drunk; don’t underestimate me.” “I’m just afraid someone will take advantage of you!” Jareth frowned, looking very angry. “Do you think everyone is like you, Jareth? Are you always acting like a hooligan?” Thaddeus squinted his eyes, slightly curled up his lips, and walked towards his car without looking back. The Maybach was driving on a deserted road. “Mr. Thaddeus, the press conference is over, and the negative comments about Glynnis on the internet have increased. It has already affected the reputation of our Abernathy group.” While driving, Gordon continued to report anxiously, “It seems to have a greater impact than we

thought.” “Our Abernathy group?” Thaddeus’s eyes were downcast, his gaze obscure, “Yeah, only when there’s a problem and they need me to solve it, then they say, ‘Our’ Abernathy group.” He never considered the Abernathys his family, and aside from his grandpa, no one in the Abernathy family really saw him as one of their own, including his biological father, Frederic Abernathy. So, let Glynnis, the clown, continue her buffoonery tonight. He wanted to sit back and watch their downfall. They dared to use him and harm his wife. So, all that Glynnis was going through now, he felt, wasn’t enough. His wife. Thaddeus suddenly stopped, his heart pounding at his own too-direct thought. That cun ning, moody woman. Was she performing that ambiguous drama with Jareth in front of him today to humiliate him or to hurt him? Thaddeus tugged at his tie irritably, his anger gradually rising. “Gordon, pull over.” Thaddeus ordered. “Huh? Okay.” Gordon promptly pulled the Maybach over by the roadside, right next to a park. “Mr. Thaddeus, are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to prepare a vomit bag?” Gordon thought Thaddeus was going to puke because he was drunk and asked with concern. “You look more like a vomit bag.” Thaddeus replied coldly. Gordon was somewhat confused by this sudden retort, unsure of how to respond. “You wait here; I need to clear my head.” Thaddeus got out of the car and headed straight for the park. The streets were deserted, and a gentle breeze was blowing. As Thaddeus walked slowly by the lake, closing his eyes to feel the breeze, his troubles subsided a bit. Mainly because if he stayed in the car any longer, he really was going to puke.

Suddenly, Thaddeus stopped, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. “Who’s there? Come out.” “Man, you’ve got some sharp ears.” A mocking voice came from behind Thaddeus. He turned slowly to see a tall and erect figure, radiating cold, standing not far away. He was dressed all in black, with a black trench coat, a black shirt, black trousers, and a black mask. His short hair swayed gently in the wind. He looked like a ghost in the night. “Who are you? Why are you following me?” Thaddeus’s voice was cold, and the muscles in his arms were tense under his suit. “I’m here to give you a hard time; isn’t that obvious?” Elvis replied, a smirk on his lips under the mask. “Why?” “Because you hurt someone I care about. She’s hurting because of you.” Elvis tilted his head, his fingers cracking. “If you suffer more than she did, she might feel better.” Thaddeus tried to focus his sight, looking hard at the man not far away. He had a feeling that he knew this man’s eyes and voice, but he couldn’t remember who he was. Elvis advanced towards Thaddeus, the atmosphere around them growing tense. “Who is this person you care about? When did I ever hurt them?” Although he was nervous, Thaddeus’s expression didn’t change. “Hmph, I thought if you had a little self-awareness, I might be a bit lenient with you. But I guess I was too generous. How could a heartless man like you feel remorse? If you don’t suffer a bit, you won’t know that karma exists in this world.”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
