His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 205

That day, after Marilla managed to escape from Jareth’s arms, she couldn’t sleep a wink when she got home.

Her elbow was scraped raw from the fall, blood and pus oozing from the wound. The pain was so intense she gritted her teeth to keep from crying out.

Since she’d snuck out, she didn’t dare tell anyone. She found the first aid kit and patched herself up. Then she lay in bed and hugged her teddy bear, tossing and turning all night.

In her sleepless agony, she thought back on many past events.

She remembered being forced to eat lunch in the filthy bathroom

She remembered being hoisted up by boys at Edith’s command and thrown headfirst into a trash bin.

She remembered the dead rat in her backpack.

She remembered her favorite book being ripped to shreds by Edith and cast into the wind.

She remembered the piano in the music room.

These were nightmares she would never forget in her life.

Edith, Jareth.

So, was Jareth her brother? Really?

Tears streamed down Marilla’s frail face. She clutched the blankets tightly, crying silently into the night until dawn.

Marilla might have had some mental issues, but she was not an ignorant little girl.

Even if Jareth was Edith’s brother, he was still her savior. If it weren’t for his help, she might have died in that car accident.

So, in the afternoon, Marilla sneaked into the kitchen and made a blueberry mousse cake following an online recipe. She planned to ask Thaddeus to help deliver this token of gratitude to Jareth.

After the cake was done, she put it in the fridge, dusted off her hands with satisfaction, and headed back to her room.

The moment she pushed open the door, the smile on Marilla’s face froze and she recoiled in terror.

There sat Glynnis, legs crossed, arms folded, smirking at her.

The sight sent chills down her spine.

“Well, aren’t you going to greet me?” Glynnis drawled, flicking her freshly manicured nails. “You’re not mute, are you? You are just a little slow” “Glynnis “Marilla muttered in reply.

“How about I take you out tonight?” Glynnis suddenly flashed her a smile.

“No need. I won’t be fun. I’ll just be a bore.” Marilla replied cautiously, head bowed.
