His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 828

Chapter 828

The news of Jareth and Marilla's courthouse wedding set the town of Elmsworth abuzz, racing through the nation like wildfire.

The heartfelt vows and the envy-inducing fireworks display, meant for Marilla alone, immortalized their epic romance in the hearts and memories of countless onlookers.

Even after the buzz had died down, and time had marched on, a simple search for "wedding" would still bring up that image, and the romance of that day would come flooding back.

Under the starlit sky, Elsie stood wrapped in her black trench coat, gazing up at the fireworks painting the night.

Her eyes sparkled, the crisp night air tossing her seaweed hair, as a joyful smile graced her crimson lips.

Marilla, the girl she knew, had finally found her forever with the one she loved, a happy ending at last.

Elsie was a poppy bloomed from the soil of darkness and sin; her life was not one meant for such pure love, nor was she meant to walk in the light.

At midnight, as the fireworks ended, the world fell silent and empty.

Feeling a hollow ache, Elsie turned to head back to her room when her phone vibrated.

and chatting with a familiar middle-aged man.

Elsie: [One of them is Harvey, the other Wayne?]

Tom: [Yep, the current Chief of the Elmsworth Police Department!]

A tightness clenched in her chest.

Elsie: [He's never been to the Velvet Haven, yet he's a VIP for Avery?]
