Chapter 108
The crowd’s eyes were as sharp as knives, making Glynnis feel like she was nailed to a target.
“Glynnis, did you really do it?” Hamiltion’s eyes were filled with shock.
Jareth looked indifferent, glaring at the flustered Glynnis.
If it weren’t for Marilla accidentally drinking that gla** of wine, she would have been played by this cun ning woman.
Evadne was calm, her eyes slightly drooping. A faint smile tugged at the corner of her mouth as if she had seen through all the schemes.
“You wicked woman! How dare you slander me?” Glynnis roared, about to charge forward, but was stopped in her tracks by Elspeth. “I’m the heiress of the Abernathy group! Do you know the repercussions of framing me?”
She talked big, but inside, she was freaking out.
She couldn’t sell out Acacia. Wouldn’t that be the same as admitting she was involved in drugging the wine?
Glynnis was sweating buckets. It was only then that she realized Acacia had duped her.
“How could you be so vicious? The Abernathy family treats all their ser vants well, yet you tried to drug men and seduce them! And when you got caught, you tried to pin the blame on Glynnis. That’s way out of line! Glynnis just scolded you a bit, and you hold a grudge against her. Now you’re trying to drag her down with you? Dream on!”
Elspeth clutched Frederic’s arm tightly, saying, “Call the police right now and have this wicked woman arrested! She’s slandering our daughter!”
Frederic naturally didn’t believe that Glynnis would do such a despicable thing, so he ordered sternly, “Seize her and call the police!”
“I didn’t, I didn’t! It was Miss Glynnis who told me to do it! She even promised to give me a large sum of money afterwards, so I could live a good life without taking orders from anyone anymore! Glynnis! How could you deny it? It was you who wanted to seduce Mr. Jareth! Speak up! Glynnis!”
The maid’s eyes were wide with anger as she yelled.
Elspeth wished she could shut her up and quickly had the maid dragged away.
She believed the woman had no evidence, or else she would have brought it out already.
Things had escalated to this point, and Evadne had a grip on the situation. But she had a hunch that there was more to it.
She had lived with the Abernathy family for three years and knew Glynnis pretty well. She didn’t think Glynnis, with her straightforward personality, could come up with such a
scheme.

This seemed more like Elspeth’s doing, but Elspeth wouldn’t use her daughter.
So, she suspected the real culprit was Acacia.
Evadne also caught a glimpse of the sinister smile on Acacia’s lips.
Anger boiled inside her, but she kept it in check.
Without proof, making unfounded accusations would only make her look like she was barking at the wrong tree.
She couldn’t afford to give Acacia any opportunity to counterstrike.
“There have been severe management issues within the Abernathy family, allowing such a malicious person to infiltrate, causing you trouble,” Frederic said to Emeric with a serious tone. “We’ve indeed been negligent in our management. I sincerely apologize to you.”
Emeric smiled but didn’t commit to anything.
Frederic looked annoyed, feeling that Emeric was deliberately making him uncomfortable.
However, Thaddeus wouldn’t accept such a vague explanation. His eyes were cold as he said, “This is clearly.”
“Since Mr. Frederic has apologized to us and the one who drugged the drink has been dealt with, let’s put tonight’s incident behind us,” Evadne interrupted. “Dad, Cas sius and I are fine. The Ashbourne family and the Abernathy family are both prestigious. It would be embarra**ing for all if this incident blew up. Let’s be forgiving.”
Thaddeus looked at Evadne with surprise.
Something was off.
Ilana might have swallowed her pride before, but the current Evadne wouldn’t let things go so easily!
He still remembered the fierce look in her eyes when Cas sius was in trouble like an enraged beast wishing to tear apart the mastermind.
There’s no way she would let things go just like that!
Or perhaps she was planning a more devastating counterattack?
When Jareth heard Ilana call Emeric “Dad”, he was startled, and his mind went blank.
How did he miss the fact that Ilana now had a powerful father?
This made it even harder for him to catch up with her!
“Considering Evadne’s wishes, Mr. Frederic, I’ll accept your apology,” Emeric said coldly, clearly reluctant to do so.
Glynnis let out a sigh of relief, leaning weakly into Elspeth’s arms. Seizing the opportunity, Elspeth quietly led Glynnis away.
The birthday party, which was supposed to be dazzling, ended awkwardly because of the family scandal.
After such a disgraceful incident, Hamiltion didn’t feel like celebrating his birthday anymore, and Emeric and Evadne couldn’t possibly stay any longer.
When the Abernathy family saw Evadne and Emeric off, Thaddeus silently walked beside Evadne, wanting to say something but hesitating.
Emeric kept shooting glances at Thaddeus. If his eyes could shoot bullets, Thaddeus would have been dead already.
This young man had actually married his precious Evadne! How unlucky!
“Chairman Emeric!” Acacia, with an innocent look on her face, caught up with them. “About tonight’s incident, I’m truly sorry, I misunderstood. I had no idea Ms. Ilana was your daughter. I misunderstood her relationship with Mr. Cas sius…”

Emeric, full of anger, didn’t even pause his steps or look at her. “Ms. Acacia, are you implying that if Evadne weren’t my daughter, you could spread rumours and stir up trouble
at will?”
“.I didn’t mean that.” Acacia went white as a sheet, scared out of her wits.
Thaddeus thought back to when Acacia had accused Evadne and Cas sius of having an affair in front of Chairman Emeric and Mr. Hamiltion. Her eyes were so cold and calculating like she was a stranger.
His gaze was icy, and a wave of disappointment washed over him.
“I’ve got advice for you, Ms. Acacia, don’t judge before you know the whole story. Words can cut like a knife, and the wounds run deep. How would you expect her to defend herself if it were any other girl? You’re just causing trouble, aren’t you?”
