His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

ust like that, three days flew right by

Chapter 181

Ada arrived in Elmsworth on schedule, causing quite a stir in the local and international scene.

On the day of the banquet, Glynnis had her eye on a fancy purple haute couture dress early on. She took great care with her hair, looking as stunning as always.

Elspeth also dressed to the nines, pinning her hair up and accessorizing with a pair of top–notch emerald was wearing a house’s worth of money on her.

“Mom, didn’t you have a better–quality jade piece? Why aren’t you wearing that one?” Glynnis asked curiously.

“Don’t even get me started. It breaks my heart!”

Elspeth clenched her teeth and the jade, That’s all because of paying off Acacia’s debt. What on earth did the Stirling family do to owe so much money? I don’t have that kind of cash, and with the tightened regulations, Moonlit Treasures hasn’t seen a customer in two months. That’s why I had to sell the jade to pay off the debt!”

“Holy moly! You’re really determined. If it were me, I’d be bawling my eyes out. That was a birthday present from Dad!”

Glynnis felt bad for her mom, but couldn’t help but ask, “But I really don’t understand why you’re helping the Stirling family like this? Wouldn’t it be better to just let such disgraceful relatives fend for themselves?”

“Hmph! If only.” Elspeth grumbled darkly.

When she first groomed Acacia to get close to and seduce Thaddeus, she was certain Acacia would succeed. She never expected to make a misstep and lose everything!

Now, instead of controlling Thaddeus, she was being bitten by the pawn she herself raised!

Acacia had realized the convenience of reaping benefits from Elspeth, and had called to ask for money the day before yesterday. Elspeth was infuriated to the point of wanting to kill her.

But killing her was out of the question. Unless she was driven to the wall, she wouldn’t stoop to such measures.

You’re really something.” “I didn’t!” Marilla had long forgotten about Jareth, including that absurd yet pa**ionate kiss in the
