His Ex wife is a billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)
Chapter 210

Chapter 210 

Evadne, with her damp hair still unwrapped from a quick shower, donned her cashmere coat over her rok. 

the hotel in a flash. 

On the way, she did something out of ordinary and called her ex-husband, Thaddeus. 

and jumped into her Bugatti, heading towards 

At that moment, Thaddeus was on a business trip to WillowBrook City, a hundred kilometers away from Elmsworth. 

The Abernathy Group had purchased a plot of land on the outskirts for a spa resort, which was now under construction. 

Thaddeus and Gordon, both wearing yellow safety helmets, had come to the construction site to inspect the progress, led by the project manager. As Gordon held the flashlight for him to check the blueprints, Thaddeus’s phone rang. 

Annoyed, Thaddeus scowled and pulled out his phone. 

On the screen, Evadne’s name glowed like a gold-rimmed jewel in the night. 

Thaddeus’ breath hitched, his heart pounding. His hand trembled slightly as he held the phone. 

“It’s Mrs. Abernathy” exclaimed Gordon, excitement painted across his face. 

“know, stop making a fuss. Thaddeus feigned calmness, about to answer the call. 

However, his fingers, stiff from the cold and his nervousness, slipped. 

Incredibly, he just hung up the call! 

“Mr. Thaddeus! How could you hang up on Mrs. Abernathy? She wouldn’t call you for no reason. What if something happened?!” Gordon’s voice echoed in the silent night 

Thaddeus was also a bit flustered, cursing his clumsy hands for failing him at such a crucial time! 

But luckily, Evadne called back right away. 

“Hello” This time he didn’t mishandle the call, his voice slightly hoarse. 

“Well, you picked up.” Evadne’s voice was pleasant, but her tone was sarcastic. 

“You called. Of course I would answer.” Thaddeus responded sincerely. 

“Mr. Thaddeus, you don’t have to sweet talk. We were married for three years. I know what kind of person you are. This isn’t the first time you hung up on me.” Evadne’s laugh was cold and bitter. 

Thaddeus was confused, “When did I hang up on you? I never did that” 

“Fine. I’m not here to rehash old grievances.” 

Evadne’s voice was cold and distant, “I’m here to tell you to make some time in the next few days to deal with Jareth’s mess!” 

“What happened to Jareth? Did he upset you?” Thaddeus’s expression turned icy 

“Upset me? He’s now haunting the cemetery! It’s about Marilla!” 

Evadne’s teeth gritted with frustration, “Jareth got Marilla drunk, took her to my hotel, and the whole thing was caught by Jason!” 

“What?” 

Thaddeus was taken aback, shaking his head, “Jareth is not that kind of person” 

Evadne scoffed, “Well, anyone who is friends with you, can’t be a good person.” 

“Evadne” Thaddeus sighed, a hint of reproach in his tone 

I’m on my way to the Hotel now, hoping that bastard Jareth still has some humanity left, or I’ll make him the last eunuch in Windhelm!” 

Evadne’s voice was filled with fury, “1 will keep this incident under wraps to protect Marilla’s reputation. Now, come over here, I’ll get Marilla out, and you need to take her home right away! Don’t alert anyone else!” 

Then she hung up, not wasting another word with him, 

Thaddeus stared at the blackened screen, his lips pursing in disappointment. 

He suddenly remembered when they were still married, Evadne would often call him for no apparent reason. 

He never found it annoying, but he was always indifferent towards her. 

In his memory, he never hung up on her. Was she mistaken? 

“Something bad happened to Marilla, I need to go back to Elmsworth right away” Thaddeus was skeptical of Evadne’s words but he needed to check on Marilla since Evadne had asked him to. 

“Now?” 

Gordon glanced at his watch, looking troubled, “It’s 200 kilometers from WillowBrook City to Elmsworth! The highway is under construction. It will take more than two hours to get back. We won’t make it in time! Why don’t we notify her mother? After all, Marilla is her biological daughter” 

“Evadne is already on her way, Marilla should be safe with her, but i need to go back, to help clean up the mess.” 

Thaddeus fell silent, then asked, “There’s a helicopter on the roof of the Abernathy Group’s department: 

it store in WillowBrook City, isn’t there?” 

“There is, but where can we find a pilot at this hour? Gord in seemed troubled again. 

Thaddeus squinted, Tll do it.” 

Back in Elmsworth, it was nearing midnight. 

The screeching sound of tires against the pavement echoed from the parking lot as Evadne executed a thrilling drift, her Bugatti swerved into the parking spot with finesse. 

A proud smile played on Jason’s lips. 

Evadne, enveloped in a cloud of damp steam, stepped out of her car, her eyes flaring with anger. 

“Which room did that damned Jareth book?” 

“The presidential suite on the top floor.” 

Jason’s eyes were filled with worry as he lowered his voice, They just went in a short while ago, there’s only one presidential suite on the top floor, your handling of the situation won’t disturb other guests.” 

“Understood.” 

Minutes later, Evadne, radiating lethal fury, strutted towards the presidential suite, her sharp stilettos clicking ominously on the floor. 

Jason followed closely, feeling more like he was accompanying Evadne on a mission to bust a cheating partner than a rescue mission. 

“Swipe the card.” 

“Yes, Miss Evadne.” 

Using the master key card, Jason unlocked the door. Evadne kicked the door open with such force. It felt as if it would fly off its hinges! “Jareth! Get out here now!” 

Evadne’s formidable voice boomed, reminiscent of a lioness roaring 

Meanwhile, Jareth sauntered out at the sound of her voice. 

Droplets of water trickled down his jet-black bangs, cascading over his bare, muscular torso. A loosely knotted towel was all that clung to his lean hips, threatening to tumble down with each step he made. 

Jason gasped, his eyes wide in alarm. He feared the makeshift garment would drop, offending the delicate eyes of Miss Evadne. 

Such a tease! He ought to be out there selling his goods! 

“Evadne? Is that really you?” 

Jareth had a hunch it was her from the moment he heard the call, but he wasn’t sure until he saw her. His eyes lit up with excitement, “Oh my, why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I could have at least put on a Shirt 

His lips curled up in a devilish smile, “Although, I must admit that I look better without one” 

Evadne simply chuckled bitterly and approached him. 

Slap! 

Slap! 

Slap! 

Three flashes of white crossed Jareth’s vision, followed by the echoing sounds of stinging slaps reverberating throughout the presidential suite! Evadne moved so swiftly that Jareth had barely registered what had happened before his handsome face was met with three resounding slaps! 

Jareth stared at her, a mixture of irritation and humiliation. His lips quivered, “Evadne. you hit me you actually! 

me.” 

Both of Jareth’s cheeks were swollen and burning to the point of numbness. 

Jason, who had been standing behind them, was shocked. But his main concern was whether Evadne had hurt her hand. 

“Do I need to pick a date to hit you?” 

Evadne’s blood was boiling in her chest, and she clenched her aching hand, “I’ve told you before. Even though Marilla and I share no blood, she is my most cherished sister! Aren’t there enough women around you for you to play with? Why do you have to go after Marilla? Is it because you find the idea of going after your friend’s sister exciting and fresh?” 

“No. no. Evadne, kisten to me?” Jareth’s voice was dry and desperate, but she gave him no chance to explain 

“Jareth, I was wrong about you. You’re filthy!” 

The word “filthy” pierced Jareth’s heart, and he was overwhelmed by a wave of grief. His eyes began to redden. 

“What did you do to Marilla, Jareth?” 

A cold harsh voice cut through the tension. 

Evadne spun around to see Thaddeus striding into the room, dust and sweat clinging to his clothes. 

She frowned as she looked him up and down. 

Why was he covered in grime? Had he been digging graves or m 

coal? 

“Thad! Evadne slapped me three times, and she called me filthy!” 

Seeing his buddy, Jareth felt even more aggrieved. He complained like a bullied wife seeking justice from her husband, “I had done nothing wrong! Aren’t. you going to do something about her?”

Thaddeus’s gaze vas deep. He looked at Evadne, who was still angry. 

I can’t control her. I never could”
