His Ex wife is a billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)
Chapter 183

Chapter 183

Edith was right in front of the banquet hall entrance.

So in her mind, Thaddeus was totally checking her out.

“Thad.” Edith’s cheeks were red with excitement as she joyfully walked towards him.

Suddenly, she smelled a strong scent of roses, dazzling and flamboyant, dangerous yet captivating.

Click, click, click.

The sharp and fierce sound of high heels pa**ed by her. Her heart tightened instantly, feeling suppressed by this overwhelming presence to the point she didn’t dare to breathe loudly!

Everyone was shocked, even Thaddeus was rooted to the spot. He stared deeply at Evadne’s exquisite and cold face.

Her eyebrows were like a painting, and her gaze was like frost. Only her red lips were like a flame, jumping wildly in Thaddeus’s heart.

Evadne was wearing a custom-made black suit, which looked very low-key.

However, her beautiful face made it impossible for her to stay under the radar, even among a group of beauties.

People were whispering that Evadne’s appearance was like a bolt from the blue.

Elspeth and Glynnis felt a chill when they saw this unexpected guest.

Suddenly, someone couldn’t help but whisper, “I know who she is! Several well-known magazines and websites have interviewed her recently. She’s the daughter of Emeric, the chairman of K Group, and now the general manager of K Group Hotel!”

“Yes, yes, yes! I remember now! Her name is Evadne!”

“Is she the one who’s been competing with Mr. Thaddeus? She’s really beautiful, but she doesn’t look easy to deal with!”

“I can read faces, and her looks scream royalty, very noble!”

“I don’t get all that, I’m just an average Joe, but I think she and Mr. Thaddeus make quite the power couple. They should be husband and wife, not enemies!”

Thaddeus had been turning a deaf ear to these gossips, but he was slightly unsettled.

However, when he heard the last sentence, his furrowed brows relaxed a bit.

Surprisingly, it sounded kind of nice.

Edith watched as Evadne walked past her, taking all the attention with her. She was so mad she could barely see straight, her eyes red and swollen.

However, what infuriated her even more was the pa**ionate look in Thaddeus’s eyes as he looked at Evadne.

In her memory, this man’s gaze was always like a deep gloomy lake.

She had never seen him look at a woman so pa**ionately.

Did he still have her in his heart?

Could it be that he had fallen for her?

“Ma’am, Mr. Thaddeus, you wouldn’t mind my uninvited presence, would you?”

Evadne stood boldly in front of them, her smile radiant and comforting.

“It’s a pleasure to have you, Ms. Evadne. I’m delighted you could make it.”

Thaddeus gave a subtle smile, his feelings mixed, “Had I known you were coming, Ms. Evadne, I would’ve sent you an invitation..

Evadne smiled brightly, “Why go to such lengths, Mr. Thaddeus? You should know, my appearance here isn’t for the sake of the banquet.”

His handsome face suddenly grew serious.

Gordon, standing behind him, broke into a sweat, and immediately texted the bodyguards outside.

[What the heck is going on?]

[Mr. Gordon, we’re sorry! We have no idea how Ms. Evadne got in.]

[What do you mean? How could she appear out of nowhere?]

[We screwed up! We’re ready to face the consequences! We’ll escort Ms. Evadne out right away!]

[Are you guys out of your mind? This is Emeric’s daughter, the one Mr. Thaddeus cares a lot about! If you lay a finger on her, Mr. Thaddeus will kick your as ses, believe it or not? Keep an eye on the situation and report anything unusual!]

“Oh my go d!” Ada suddenly covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes lighting up, “Ms. Evadne, is that a pin you’re wearing from Alea’s Twilight?”

“Yes, Ada. This pin is indeed ‘Twilight’.” Evadne replied with a smile.

Due to Evadne’s beauty, everyone was too busy gawking at her to notice the diamond pin on her chest, which was the award-winning Twilight from Alea.

“Alea’s jewelry? It’s stunning! I’d love to touch it!”

“Didn’t you read the news? This pin is estimated to be worth over one million! The 10-carat yellow diamond on it is worth a fortune. It’s a dream come true for many jewelry collectors!”

“Typical daughter of Skyrim’s richest man, so extravagant!”

The pendant on Elspeth’s neck is also valuable, but compared to Alea’s jewelry. It’s a bit inferior!”

Elspeth was so angry it felt like she was choking, she coughed uncomfortably.

Inferior?

This pendant was bought by Frederic at an auction. It was her most prized piece of jewelry, and they dared to call it inferior?

Elspeth cursed Acacia and the Stirling family in her heart. If it weren’t for solving the Stirling family’s financial problems, would she be humiliated like this tonight?

“Ms. Evadne, I’ve been looking for Twilight ever since I saw it in the exhibition hall two years ago. I never thought it would end up with you!” Ada exclaimed, not hiding her envy.

Edith was fuming, her sharp gaze seemed like it wanted to see through Evadne.

She couldn’t tell which part of Evadne she should be jealous of first. Maybe it was her beauty, the international star-worthy jewelry she was wearing, or the fact that she had captivated Thaddeus.

“Two years ago, I went through some painful stuff and couldn’t get out of it for a while, so I thought about buying some jewelry to comfort myself.”

Evadne gave a soft chuckle, her tone nonchalant, “I saw this ‘Twilight’ at the exhibit, and I just fell head over heels for it. The moment I laid eyes on it, I felt like it was a magic pill that could cure all my woes, so I didn’t think twice before snagging it.”

Thaddeus was deeply moved by Evadne’s words, even too embarra**ed to look directly into her bright eyes.

Two years ago, when he was going all guns blazing, crafting the Ruby Enigma for Acacia.

Whatever Acacia wanted back then, even if she didn’t voice it, he’d deliver it to her doorstep without a second thought, just to give her a surprise.

But with Evadne, he seemed to give two hoots.

Thaddeus was always gazing at Evadne, but she never gave him the time of day.

So, she bore a grudge against him.

She still had it in for him, which also meant she couldn’t let him go.

“You can’t buy Alea’s jewelry with money.”

Ada looked at Evadne, her eyes full of admiration, “Ms. Evadne, I can tell you’re a big softie when it comes to charity and public welfare.”

Evadne gave a calm smile, took off the pricey Twilight from her chest, then pulled out a scarf from her bosom, put the brooch in her palm, and handed it

to Ada.

“Ms. Evadne, what are you doing?”

“I reckon it suits you better. It fits your brave and generous demeanor. We didn’t come bearing gifts for our first meet. If you don’t mind, I’d like to give you this brooch as a token of our meeting.”

Everyone was gobsmacked by her move!

Elspeth, her daughter, and Edith were all open-mouthed in surprise!

That was a costly piece of jewelry she just gave away without batting an eye!

Thaddeus clenched his lips, his fists starting to sweat.

What was Evadne up to this time?

Ada was so stoked that she was speechless!
