His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 631

“Mr. Fairhaven, is there trouble at the corporation?” Lily asked, her brows knit together in concern as she attempted to probe the

situation.

The moment Jareth had entered the room, Lily had sensed the weight of his thoughts. It wasn’t that Marilla was negligent in her attentiveness to him, but Lily had been by his side for so long that no one else could claim to understand him better.

Jareth’s deep–set eyes darkened as he clenched a pair of game dice ruthlessly in his palm. “I met with Edith today. She’s currently in the hospital, under the protection of my mother and grandfather.”

“You saw her!”

Lily’s pupils shrank, and she quickly lowered her voice. “I hope there wasn’t any trouble?”

Jareth scoffed. “Would she dare? Not under my watch.”

“Even so, you should remain cautious.” Lily voiced her concern, “If Edith managed to return, she must have aligned herself with Gary. Your sister has long since turned against you. To spite you, she’ll surely join forces with Gary to come after you.”

“Heh, she’d better make her move soon. I’m getting impatient.”

Jareth gritted his teeth, nearly crushing the dice in his palm. “I’ve been looking for a reason to deal with that girl. If she wants to light a fire, then I’ll make sure she gets burned. She dares to conspire with Gary, I dare to end them both!”

Lily nodded thoughtfully. “You’re more than capable of handling the Fairhaven Group on your own. I’m not worried about that. My main concern is Marilla. Edith has targeted her before, even causing a scene at our home. Thankfully, we stopped her before things escalated. Now that Edith is back, she won’t let things slide. I fear she may try to harm Marilla again.”

“She wouldn’t dare!”

Jareth’s eyes flared with a crimson rage at the mere thought. “When she maliciously exposed those medical records in front of everyone, nearly tearing apart Evadne and Thad’s relationship, she ceased to be my sister! She can wreak havoc all she likes, but if she lays a finger on Marilla, I swear she’ll pay with her life!”

A sharp crackling sound erupted from the direction of the kitchen!

Jareth and Lily instantly realized what it might be and rushed towards the noise.

“Marilla!” Jareth called out in shock, a pang striking his heart.

There she was, Marilla knelt on the floor, her face deathly pale as she frantically gathered the broken pieces of porcelain.

“Ah!”

In her panic, the sharp ceramic cut through her finger, beads of blood blossoming against her alabaster skin, a stark and harrowing sight.

Jareth’s heart thundered in his chest as he knelt beside Marilla, grabbing her wrist in urgency. “How could you be so careless?”

“I–I’m sorry, Jareth.”
