His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 324

At this moment, Edith, towering beside her mother, was dressed to kill, looking every bit like a princess.

The pitiful image she displayed earlier in front of Jareth, shedding crocodile tears and apologizing profusely, was nowhere to be seen now. She glared at Marilla with a sinister look, as if she wanted nothing more than to pounce on her and tear her throat out!

“Mom, let me introduce you.”

Edith kept a false smile on her face as she locked eyes with Marilla, “This is the person I mentioned to you, Ms. Marilla, my junior high school classmate. Now, she’s my brother’s girlfriend. Funny how things turn out, right? It’s like we’re one big, happy family.”

When Edith said the word “girlfriend“, Marilla’s heart felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp needle. She blushed furiously, lowering her head in embarrassment.

Overwhelmed by a sense of inferiority, she instinctively wanted to pull her hand away from Jareth’s warm grip.

However, Jareth seemed to hear her unspoken wish and stubbornly refused to let go.

“Edith, have you said enough?” The man’s eyes darkened, and his voice carried a hint of anger.

Relying on her mother’s support, Edith laughed brazenly, “Jareth, what did I say wrong? Why are you so angry? Or is it that you only dare to pamper Ms. Marilla outside, but are afraid to bring her home to meet Mom? Because deep down, you also despise her for being sick, and you know she’s not worthy of becoming the lady of the Fairhaven family, right?“;

“Edith, shut up!” Jareth couldn’t stand anyone insulting his beloved, and his anger flared, making his eyes bloodshot!

Lily, standing behind them, clenched her fists tightly..

“Jareth, look at how angry you are.”

Edith chuckled, “If I didn’t hit a nerve, would you be this angry?”

“I don’t have time to argue with you.”

Jareth, being the mature man that he was, couldn’t possibly argue with his sister in front of their mother. Suppressing his anger, he said in a low voice, “Marillá, Lily, let’s go.”

Hold on.”

At this point, the icy Mrs. Fairhaven suddenly spoke up.

Jareth paused mid–step, gripping the cold hand in his even tighter.

Mrs. Fairhaven didn’t say anything, just walked up to the couple with a slight, inscrutable smile on her face.

And it was this smile that made Jareth temporarily lower his guard.

However, as soon as she approached Marilla, Mrs. Fairhaven’s eyes turned cold and fierce, and she suddenly raised her hand,

Slap!

“Uhm!” Marilla’s head jerked to the side, her cheek stinging with pain. Tears filled her eyes from the humiliation.

“Mom! What are you doing?”

Jareth stared in disbelief, his eyes bloodshot with rage. His fury was threatening to overwhelm his reason!

Lily bit her lip in anger, but she didn’t dare say anything. After all, she was just a subordinate in the Fairhaven Group.
