His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 476

Inside the grand banquet hall, a lavish dancing party came to an end. The spotlight illuminated the center stage, drawing all eyes to William and his son

The tension was palpable among members of the Abernathy Group and Fairhaven Group, their gaze fixed on William. For the Fairhaven Group, winning this project meant salvation from their immediate troubles, while for the Abernathy Group, it was a chance to flex their corporate muscles and perhaps to vent some pent–up frustration over Evadne.

But Emeric appeared nonchalant amidst the business fervor His interest in the project paled in comparison to his concern for his daughter’s whereabouts. His darling Exadne had vanished surely she wasn’t off in some hidden comer with that Abernathy boy, their closeness raising more than just eyebrows?

A blush crept across Emeric’s cheeks as his mind conjured images better left behind closed doors. He may not be old–fashioned, and after all, Evadne had once been wed to that same Abernathy lad. They’d even lived together in Elmsworth, under his very nose, without producing a grandchild to his mixed relief and constemation.

Yet, even in the pursuit of thrills, there was a time and a place!

His thoughts were interrupted when he realized his usually obedient younger daughter, Nydia, was also missing. As he pondered in confusion, a striking couple emerged, commanding the room’s attention.

“Dad.”

“Chairman Ashboume.”

Emeric’s sharp eyes softened as he watched them, a smile instinctively curving his lips. There was a peculiar pride swelling in his chest upon seeing his daughter and Thaddeus together, their eyes for no one else, their affection palpable.

Thaddeus, once the object of Emeric’s disdain, was now increasingly endearing in his eyes.

“Where have you been?” Emeric chided affectively, masking concem with imitation. Noticing her pale complexion, he added in disquieted tone, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I can have your brother and Dylan take you to the hospital.”

Evadne’s face was a study in shadows as she shook her head, “I’m fine.”

“And your brother? I called him; why isn’t he here?”

“He got held up, but he’ll be here soon,” she replied, her voice a steady monotone.

Emeric frowned, “And Nydia? Haven’t seen her for a while.”

Thaddeus’s jaw was set, his eyes cold, while Evadne’s gaze was
