His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 316

Evadne was caught in a cloud of suspicion, casting a discreet glance at Thaddeus.

What on earth was this man up to now?

The atmosphere was as tense as gunpowder.

“Just usual goods, I’m only doing regular business.”

Avery adjusted his glasses, his refined features revealing a mysterious smile, only his slightly tense lips betraying his inner irritation. “Mr. Thaddeus, your imagination is quite something. Even if you hold a prejudice against me, you shouldn’t casually speculate about someone’s character, belittling their achievements

Thaddeus smirked, his thin lips curving.

“My path is different from yours, Mr. Thaddeus. You’ve had it easy at the Abernathy Group, a young hot shot in the business world, the designated heir of Mr. Hamilton. It’s impossible for someone born with a silver spoon in your mouth like you to understand how hard it is for an entrepreneur starting from scratch.”

Evadne listened, her long eyelashes fluttering as she sipped her champagne. Some long–buried memories resurfaced in her mind.

In truth, no one understood better than her that Thaddeus’s situation at the Abernathy Group.

His journey was far from easy as Avery claimed.

“I didn’t expect a casual question to elicit such a response from you, Mr. Avery. I apologize if I’ve made you uncomfortable. Consider the rumors I heard in Helgen just that, rumors.”

Thaddeus chuckled lightly, his stunning face exuding an intimidating aura, his dark eyes flashing with intensity. “And there’s something you got wrong. I don’t hold any prejudice against you, but the moment you get close to Evadne, I do. From head to toe. inside and out.”

Avery clenched his teeth, his superior jawline tightening.

Debby, stuck between the two, was secretly thrilled by their verbal spar, yet her high status held her back from expressing her excitement. She bit her lip, suppressing her laughter.

This trip home was proving to be quite the event!

“Thaddeus, have you said enough?”

Evadne was at the end of her patience, her beautiful eyes shooting daggers at the man beside her. “Say another word, and I swear I’ll smack you with a baseball bat.”

Thaddeus’s breath hitched, his hand on the table balling into a fist,

Then slowly, he moved towards her, his fingers lightly touching her round, attractive wrist, the rough texture of his fingertips rubbing against her delicate skin.

“Evadne, I was wrong. Can you not be angry, please?”

He was handsome, clingy, and sweet.

Who could resist him!

The warm touch at her wrist was like a vine wrapping around Evadne’s arm, sending tingling sensations straight to her heart, wrapping around her fluttering heartbeat.

Seeing her silence, Thaddeus grew more anxious, leaning towards her, his voice hoarse as he coaxed, “Or you can hit me with your baseball bat to vent your anger, but can it wait till we get home? I’m still a CEO, even if I don’t mean much to you. With so many people here, can you, Miss Evadne, spare me some dignity?”

Debby suppressed her laughter, thoroughly enjoying the scene.

“You, you just sit there and behave!” Evadne huffed, turning away from him.

Thaddeus’s affectionate gaze lingered on her pouting lips, his heart itching with desire.

At 30, he was still easily swayed by this woman’s every smile and word, like a young boy experiencing his first love.

The lights on the stage dimmed
