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

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!”
