His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 478

Evadne’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears as they locked with Thaddeus’s fiery gaze, mirroring the depth of their feelings for each other in their crystal–clear irises. They only saw each other, as if the rest of the world had faded into insignificance.

Thaddeus’s steps toward her were firm yet heavy, as if he had journeyed across continents, traversing mountains and crossing seas to reach her side.

Beside Evadne stood her father, who seemed almost in a trance, his eyes brimming with the threat of tears.

He was walking toward his happiness, his bride. Eyes welling up in tears, he felt everything subsided to serenity, merely his heartbeat thundering; the grand enjoyable scene ahead seemed too good to be true.

“Thaddeus.”

A single glistening tear rolled down Evadne’s lovely cheek, sparkling like a fallen star against the night sky.

He would sacrifice everything for her, stand alone against the world. And she would do the same.

Whether it was their shared trials on the battlefield of Zenithia or three years ago when she defied her family and the cold disapproval of the Abernathy Group to marry him.

Both had fought with all their might for love.

“Wait!”

Edith glared, her eyes bloodshot, her voice trembling with a shrill edge. She couldn’t take it anymore.

Time and again, hope was given and then cruelly snatched away. She couldn’t bear it!

“Evadne, Thaddeus, you want to be together, right?” She thought, “Fine, let me plunge a bloody dagger straight into your hearts, leaving a gruesome wound that will never heal, ensuring that you’ll never find peace!”

The crowd turned their impatient gazes upon Edith. At this point, why even bother? Lovebirds would find a way, and her dramatics only served to embarrass herself!

Edith, her face deathly pale and her mouth twitching into a grimace, looked like a vengeful ghost straight from hell, her presence chilling to the bone.

“Mr. Frederic Abernathy, I know our Fairhaven family can’t compare to the Ashbourne family’s influence and power. If you have to choose between Ms. Ashbourne and me as your daughter–in–law, you’d feel shortchanged. But choosing Ms. Ashbourne, you might regret that decision someday.”

With these words, she played the victim while simultaneously stirring everyone’s curiosity, including Mr. Frederic Abernathy’s.

“And Chairman Ashbourne,” Edith’s insinuating gaze turning to Emeric, as if she was concerning for him, “I know you have many kids, but Evadne is your darling. You can’t bear to see her mistreated or wronged. Do you really think Mr. Thaddeus Abernathy is worthy of being your chosen son–in–law? Is he truly the prince charming Ms. Ashbourne deserves?”

Puzzled looks were exchanged among the crowd.

Evadne sensed Edith’s malicious intent, a cold light flitting across her eyes. Before she could speak, Emeric, unable to contain himself any longer, commanded, “Ms. Edith Fairhaven, you come from a respected family. Speak plainly, what’s your point?”

His authority was undeniable, pressing down on Edith like a mountain, causing even the bystanders to shiver.

Just then, Cassius and Jareth arrived, having dealt with Byron, and walked into the hall just in time to witness the scene. Cassius felt an inexplicable panic as he cast a complex look at Jareth beside him.
