His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 706

“Marilla.” Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy were both stunned in disbelief.

A smile graced Evadne’s lips, a touch of gratitude in her gaze as she looked towards Marilla, warmth blooming in her chest.

“My wife is right. Spreading rumors and causing trouble in front of Mr. Thaddeus and Ms. Evadne–do you think the Abernathy Group and our legal department are here for nothing?”

Jareth’s arm barred Marilla’s shoulder, as he glared coldly at the gossipmongers, “If you think you have the guts, go ahead, try saying that again. The Fairhaven Group won’t mind playing your little game.”

The busybodies, already embarrassed by the young woman’s reprimand and further intimidated by Mr. Fairhaven’s menacing presence, huddled together like quails, not daring to utter another word.

recognize you; you’re Avery.”

Marilla lifted her dress gracefully as she walked over, her slender figure shielding Evadne, her eyes bravely meeting those of the stranger for the first time, “Mr. Avery, are you a friend of my sister–in–law?”

Evadne’s lips curled coldly.

Friend? That word had been dirtied by him.

But she didn’t blame Marilla. How could the innocent Marilla know the bloodshed and darkness that lay beneath? And she didn’t want her to understand.

“Ms. Marilla, what are you trying to say?” Avery asked, his smile seemingly cordial.

“If you are my sister–in–law’s friend, you should’ve been the first to stand up to clarify for her right away, instead of watching her being misunderstood and doing nothing.”

Marilla’s straightforward nature took over, her frustration directed squarely at Avery, “A true friend wouldn’t be as cold–blooded as you are. You’ve really let her down.”

Evadne quickly took Marilla’s soft hand, pulling her into an embrace to keep her away from the viper.

Avery’s face darkened, his forced smile freezing at the corners of his lips.

Sincerity was always the ultimate weapon. With just a few words, Marilla had not only extricated Evadne from the murky relationship but also painted Avery as the heartless villain.

“Thad, she’s really starting to show the qualities of a Fairhaven lady,” Jareth joked, elbowing his brother–in–law as he watched his defiant and pretty wife, laughing foolishly.
