His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 536

“Evadne, is Nydia’s elder sister?”

The girls‘ jaws dropped as they stood dumbstruck, and the one who had been crying was beyond tears now.

The girl sitting on the ground was scared stiff, her face as swollen as an overproofed loaf of bread, shaking like a leaf, retreating backward with trembling legs, but there was nowhere left to go.

Though Nydia was from the Ashbournes, she always kept a low profile. She lived like any ordinary girl, so who would have guessed? She didn’t have the air of a billionaire heiress at all!

The three young men, Gordon, Jason, and Thaddeus, watched the scene with varied expressions, each admiring the scene for different reasons.

Jason was ready to throw away his gentlemanly façade and teach these gossiping hens a lesson, but he hadn’t anticipated that Evadne would take such swift action herself.

Thaddeus’s clenched fist relaxed as he stared at Evadne’s proud figure, his thin lips curving slightly.

He was, however, slightly annoyed with himself for not reacting faster.

“What happened to all that noise just now? Cat got your tongue?” Evadne’s icy laugh chilled the air as she leaned down and glowered at the girl with curly hair. “You’re young. You could have learned anything, but you chose to be a nasty piece of work.”

“Quick, get this on camera! Record everything! The Ashbourne heiress is attacking an innocent student!” the girl with curly hair cried out, trying to play the victim and stand on moral high ground to counter Evadne.

The other girls held their phones but were too intimidated by the young mistress’s overwhelming presence to dare to film.

“Pfft, you think I’m afraid? I’m Evadne, already infamous, I don’t mind adding this little episode to my reputation, Evadne said with a reckless grin, stunningly beautiful in her defiance. “And besides, you wouldn’t dare cross the Chambers family, would you? Dare to cross the Ashbournes and see if I don’t make sure your dreams of showbiz die before you even step off campus.”

The girl with curly hair went pale, and the others quickly pocketed their phones

They were scared now, truly scared

Evadne crossed her arms and shook her head, Tve lived a quarter of a century, and you’ve just set a new low for humanity with your ‘victim–blaming nonsense. Defending a vile rapist. It’s a shame morality isn’t a college entrance requirement, or we might not have to deal with your kind.”

“These slaps are tuition for the lessons you clearly need. I have eyes and ears all over Elmsworth, and if one more disrespectful word about my sister reaches me, next time, it won’t be as simple as a few slaps

“Scram!”

At her roar, the gossiping girls hurriedly dragged their friend away, fleeing in utter disarray

Thaddeus strode over, his left arm wrapping around her trembling shoulders, his right hand gently taking her cold one, softly blowing on her palm to soothe the sting.

Evadne felt the burning pain in her hand subside, but her anger was far from quelled.

“How dare them talk about Nydia like that? A few slaps were too good for them!”

“But Evadne, you’ve never been a heartless woman. Even in anger, you’re about teaching lessons, not cruelty” Thaddeus said, tightening his hold on her shoulder, his gaze darkening. “But whatever you can’t bring yourself to do, I will do for you. Anything”

“They’re just silly girls. Not worth the trouble.”

Evadne took a deep breath, her emotions in turmoil. Right now, we need to find Nydia! That girl’s out of her mind, how could she think going live with this was a good idea? She’s throwing herself to the wolves!”

Thaddeus felt a pang of urgency too.

No one understood better than they did the feeling of being in the public eye, where one false step could lead to a free fall into oblivion.
