His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 453

The Ashbourne family was seething with anger, on the verge of eruption, but one among them was even more incensed.

Thaddeus’s brawny arms tensed like a fully drawn bow, his eyes bloodshot, and his large iron–like fists clenched in cold fury, ready to charge at Gary and teach him a lesson. Just then, a soft and delicate hand enveloped his bulging, veiny fist at the right moment.

“Thaddeus, don’t.”

His breath hitched as he met Evadne’s bright star–like eyes. It was as if his whole being had plunged into the crisp clarity of a mountain spring, calming him down gradually.

Evadne stepped forward, a haughty smile playing on her lips, “Gary, when Thaddeus gets down to business, you can rest assured. He won’t let any wrongdoers off the hook, nor will he wrongfully accuse the innocent.”

Her words were a clear jab at the Fairhaven group!

“As for the Duke’s accusations, saying Thaddeus is just following my lead to smear and frame your Fairhaven family. Ha! In this day and age when surveillance is everywhere, if I really wanted to frame someone, wouldn’t I leave behind some trace? Would there be no clues pointing to you, and I’d just randomly pick on one of your people as the culprit? You keep insisting that I hold a grudge against Ms. Edith Fairhaven; then why wasn’t it your Fairhaven family’s horse that got injured? Why wasn’t she the one in harm’s way? Am I supposed to hurt myself to amuse your whole family?”

Evadne’s speech was indeed rousing. Everyone around couldn’t help but nod in agreement, even Mrs. Fairhaven subconsciously thought there was some sense in her words!

“You impudent girl.” Barry was so choked up his eyebrows quivered with rage.

Evadne’s eyes were cold and defiant, her gaze sharp, and her lips curled into a mocking smile, “Let me be blunt, and I don’t care if it’s unpleasant to hear. If I really wanted to harm Ms. Edith Fairhaven, I wouldn’t have waited until today. I have no virtues, but I’m known for being ruthless.

Framing someone is so boring. If it were me, whatever fate befalls my horse, she’d have to face the same!”

The crowd gasped. Ms. Ashbourne was truly hardcore!

“Evadne! You’re outrageous! How can you harbor such malicious thoughts?!” Mrs. Fairhaven, already frail, was so infuriated she clutched her chest, struggling to catch her breath.

“Mom, please don’t get upset; you can’t take it,” Edith quickly supported her mother, her face a picture of grievance, but her eyes shot a venomous glance at Evadne.

“Malicious? Mrs. Fairhaven, do you think it’s appropriate for you to say that?”

Myra’s expression was serious, her usually gentle voice chilling, calm but undeniably intimidating, “Evadne was merely speaking hypothetically, but your daughter dared to act. Before the horse racing event began, the incident with Ms. Fairhaven slapping herself and trying to frame Evadne is still trending online. Have you forgotten? We remember it clearly. Who’s truly malicious and who’s started the provocation? Don’t you know it deep down?”
