His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 698

Seeing Marilla dare to talk back, Edith felt a surge of rage so intense, her meticulously manicured nails almost digging into her own palms.

The flowing music filled her ears. That was to Marilla a torturous cacophony, only serving to heighten her psychological burden.

Edith struck right at her sore spot, each word a dagger to the heart!
