His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 441

Evadne’s gaze was frosty as she watched Avery, her eyes narrowing into slits as she clenched her fists tightly, trying to reconcile the darkness she knew lurked beneath his polished facade.

“Good boy,” Emeric said with a twinkle in his eye, his voice rich with unspoken meanings. “You’ve got a whole lifetime ahead of you for you and Evadne to get cozy.”

The flashbulbs captured the moment, eliciting gasps of surprise from the onlookers.

As a legend in his own right, a titan of industry, Emeric was rarely this affectionate with the younger generation. His actions spoke volumes it was as if he was treating Avery as his future son–in–law!

–

‘I can’t help but feel Chairman Emeric is playing matchmaker between Mr. Avery and Ms. Evadne,” someone murmured under their breath.

“It sure looks that way. He’s cold as ice to Mr. Thaddeus but warm as a summer’s day to Mr. Avery, as if he’s family. Isn’t it obvious? And who in the business world doesn’t know that Mr. Chambers and Chairman Emeric are tight as thieves, with their families going way back? If Evadne hadn’t been so headstrong, Emeric would’ve pampered her into engagement with the young Chambers heir years ago!” “But it seems to me Evadne still carries a torch for Thaddeus. The way they walked the red carpet hand in hand looked like a couple on the mend.”

“Pfft, what does it matter? In the world of high society, do any of these young heirs and heiresses actually get a say in their marriages? Emeric indulged her once; would he really stand for it a second time?”

“If the Ashbourne family really does merge with the Chambers Group, that’s going to–be–the–scoop of the century, shaking up the entire business landscape of Elmsworth!”

Evadne couldn’t bear it any longer. Her expression darkened as she strode away briskly.

“Evadne!”

Avery caught up with her, his eyes brimming with concern. “What’s wrong? Still upset about the mess with Edith?” Evadne said nothing, just kept walking.

“Evadne, if you’re still not feeling vindicated, I have plenty more tricks up my sleeve to cheer you up. I’d do anything to make you happy.” Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks. “Do you really have evidence against Edith? Proof that she slandered me?”

“No, it was a bluff. I knew she had something to hide, she’s afraid of the light,” Avery admitted with a light chuckle, being candid.

“Given what I know about Edith, her mental fortitude is even stronger than Glynnis’s. As the darling of the Fairhaven family, pampered by Barry and Jareth, would she really fear your idle threats?“.

Evadne’s piercing gaze turned towards him, suspicion in her eyes. “Or perhaps, Avery, you and Ms. Edith share a certain rapport, and she gave you that bit of face?”

Her words were laced with irony but hit Avery where it hurt, playing right into the shadows of his heart.

He adjusted his glasses, hiding the glint of something sinister in his eyes. “Evadne, I have no dealings with any woman, except you.” “Cut it out. I have someone I love. No matter how much you pine for me, I have no interest in you.”

Her harsh words cut through Avery like a blade, leaving a taste of blood in his mouth.

“Evadne, my feelings for you are real.”

“Mr. Chambers, I won’t deny you the rights that any normal man should have.”

With a cold laugh, Evadne saw through his ploy. “And stop wasting your effort. No matter how hard you try to please Emeric, I won’t choose you over Thaddeus.”

Meanwhile, Thaddeus was busy strategizing his next moves with Gordon.

By the time he received news of Evadne’s near ruin at the hands of Edith, and rushed over as fast as he could, it was all over.
