His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 207

“Jareth”. A single utterance that sent a shiver down Jareth’s spine.

His Adam’s apple bobbed, a reaction to the term he didn’t quite expect.

Her tears, welling up from her crimson-rimmed eyes and rolling down her cheeks, seemed to drop into his heart, stirring ripples.

He instantly pushed aside her previous act of leaving him behind.

“From your sister-in-law, Evadne?” Jareth squinted his eyes, gently wiping the tear stains on her cheeks with his calloused fingers.

Marilla nodded, her nose reddening.

“Where did you lose it? Here?”

She nodded again, her eyes reddened.

“Don’t worry, I will help you.”

Jareth took Marilla’s small hand and walked with her to the stage under everyone’s gaze.

A trail of dreamy pink light followed, illuminating them like a masterfully painted portrait.

Marilla shyly lowered her gaze, but couldn’t help stealing glances at him.

Although Jareth looked a bit fierce, he was indeed handsome.

His striking and sophisticated face was visually captivating, peerless in the world.

Marilla pursed her lips, her gaze tracing the contours of his face, carefully etching his handsome features in her heart. “Music, stop

Edith and Glynnis were having the time of their lives, until someone reminded them to look at the screen.

Edith suddenly bolted upright from the sofa, letting out a scream that sent shivers down everyone’s spines.

Seeing Marilla and Jareth standing shoulder to shoulder, with Jareth holding her hand as if they were the only two people in the world, Glynnis felt a surge of anger and her mind went blank.

She thought, “Marilla, you little vixen! You dare to steal my man, I make sure you pay!”

“What the hell is going on? Why is Jareth with that dimwit? Tell me

Edith called her bodyguard over, her eyes blazing with rage, “Didn’t I tell you to keep a close eye on her? How could you let her bump into Jareth?” “S-sorry, Ms. Edith. I did keep a close watch on her, but I didn’t expect Jareth to show up at Sapphire Nights Club tonight. She was running around, it was bound to happen.” the bodyguard stammered.

“Waste of space!”
