His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 733

Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy retired to their quarters, where Thaddeus divulged everything he knew about Edith and Glynnis to Evadne.

He could have easily kept it all to himself and dealt with the matter in private.

But that was no longer an option for him–under the thumb of his wife, he knew that omission equaled treason in her eyes. To incur her wrath was a fate he dared not tempt.

A woman like Evadne was not easily placated, and the thought of enduring weeks without her touch was a

torment too bitter to bear.

Evadne listened in silence, with her striking eyes narrowing and a dangerous glint flickering within that sent shivers down one’s spine.

“So it seemed that’s why Marilla endured such torment; her own sister Glynnis played a pivotal role in her suffering,” she mused coldly.

In the next moment, with her anger manifesting, she clenched a teacup and, with a sharp snap, hurled it to the ground and shattered it to pieces!

Winced at the sound, Thaddeus quickly took her hand to inspect for any cuts and gently soothed her within his larger palm. “Evadne, anger is a poison. It’s not worth hurting yourself over such trash,” he soothed.

“It’s like we’ve got a six–fingered mutation on our hands with Glynnis,” he muttered under his breath, with his tone turning dark.

Her usually sweet voice turned raspy with fury, “How can two siblings be so different? When Elspeth went to great lengths with her schemes during her pregnancy, surely Mr. Frederic demanded a paternity test? Is she truly an Abernathy?*

Thaddeus‘ gaze darkened as he replied softly, “A paternity test was done back then. It confirmed Glynnis is indeed Frederic’s child.”

“Have you never seen a TV show? Anyone can fake the tests by buying off the doctors. If Elspeth could hide a murder for twenty years, what’s a paternity test to her?”
