His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 360

Late at night.

Evadne had just enjoyed a long, hot bath, wrapping herself in a soft, peach–colored silk robe and tying up her lustrous hair neatly in a towel. Her face was flushed from the heat, a rosy hue that made her appear even more charming. Humming a soft tune, she headed downstairs.

Despite the recent mishaps that had plagued her life, she knew there was always a silver lining. After all, she was the daughter of the Ashbourne family. There was nothing she couldn’t achieve if she set her mind to it. Even the presidency was within her reach if she played her cards right.

All but that man.

Whenever she thought of him, a pang of heartache would strike her.

She had believed that Thaddeus truly loved her. Deep down, she had even started to accept him.

Yet the harsh reality had slapped her right in the face.

Men were either being unfaithful or scumbags,

And Thaddeus was no exception.

The more she thought about it, the more it infuriated her. The corners of her mouth drooped gradually.

“Ms Ashbourne, I’ve just brewed some chamomile tea. It’s good for the nerves and won’t make you gain weight.”

Standing in the living room, Jason was all dressed up in his suit and tie, albeit with an apron. He looked at Evadne with a warm smile.

Seeing him doing all this for her, Evadne felt a inexplicable pang of guilt, She uttered blandly, “Jason, you are my secretary, not a household worker. You don’t need to do these things. I’ll ask Suri to send a servant from Skyrim to cook for me. You’ve worked hard enough today. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.”

“But Ms Ashbourne,” Jason stammered, worried that his position as her secretary was at stake, “President Ashbourne assigned me to you not only to assist you with work but also to take care of your daily needs. It’s always been this way.”

Evadne shook her head, “I told you before; you should focus on someone worth your time, like Nydia.”

At the mention of Nydia, Jason clenched his hands, his heart lurching.

“You are already busy working for me. You don’t need to distract yourself with these trivial things. Just treat Nydia well. That’s all I ask.” Evadne suggested earnestly. She had always been worrying about her sister’s happiness.

“Ms Evadne. Nydia and I are just friends.”

“Jason, has there been any news from the hospital?” Evadne didn’t feel like hearing his explanation. She had no mood in talking about love matters.

All she wanted to do was to torture Elspeth. – –

Jason paused, pressing his lips, “According to our informants at the hospital, as you expected, Elspeth and Frederic had a big fight. Frederic didn’t stay at the hospital afterward, nor did he show up in the following days. Congratulations, Ms Ashbourne, it seems like you’ve successfully instigated discord between them.”

“Once the seed of doubt has been planted, Elspeth is no longer the innocent woman in Frederic’s eyes. Her life in the Abernathy family will only get tougher.”
