His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 862

"Evadne?!"

Aviana was gobsmacked when Evadne suddenly showed up.

She was the kind of tough-as-nails woman who could take three bullets and not shed a tear. Yet, seeing her unexpected savior, she was deeply moved, tears welling up in her eyes.

The elders also noticed Evadne's entrance, feeling a sense of familiarity.

But most of them were rough and tumble types from the wrong side of the tracks, far removed from the untouchable heiress of a billionaire. To them, she seemed

like just a pretty young thing, a little girl out of her depth.

Some even started laughing with suggestive undertones.

Aviana clenched her fists in anger, a towering rage building inside her!

She could take being bullied, but they were crossing a line messing with Evadne. She was ready to throw down with them!

However, before Aviana could make a move, Evadne, with ice in her gaze and unruffled poise, walked up to the man who had been disparaging Aviana.

She casually tucked one hand into her pants pocket while the other delicately held the still-hot pot of soup.

In the next second, the crowd was shocked, followed by a scream. Evadne had flipped the entire pot over the man's head!

"Ah!" The man jumped up, his scalp burning.

"You were the one saying women have too much to worry about?"

Evandne, arms crossed, her luscious red lips curved in a devilish smirk, exuded an air of authority. "Not only do women 'worry too much,' but when pushed, they can hit back hard. Consider this a warning. Remember, never mess with a woman."

The room was full of seasoned players who had been wheeling and dealing for decades, each with their own alliances and understandings.

Seeing their associate humiliated by a young woman, they were incensed, slamming their hands on the table and standing up, glaring menacingly at Evandne's calm demeanor.

"You dare to smash me like that!" The man threw the pot to the ground angrily.

Before Evandne could speak up for herself, Aviana stepped forward, protectively positioning herself in front of her, her gaze fierce:

"This is Ms. Ashbourne, the daughter of Chairman Emeric of the KS Corporation! If anyone dares to lay a finger on her, even before Chairman Emeric; I'll fight you myself!"

The room fell silent, the earlier commotion vanishing as if it were never there.

The man's lips trembled, unable to utter a single dirty word.
