The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 147
That evening, the charity gala took place.
It was held at the most splendid Garden Hotel in Frant City.
The hotel was magnificent, and it was filled with influential business tycoons and heirs of prominent families from Frant City,
Since she was attending a charity event, Grace chose a black qipao with gold cloud patterns. Her hair was clegantly swept to the side, making her look mature, charming, and exuding a captivating allure.
Ever since the talent show, everyone knew that she was the boss of Angle. When they looked at her, there were fewer judgmental gazes.
As soon as she and Tom appeared, they instantly became the center of attention. With Tom’s popularity in the entertainment industry, the two of them captured the focus of the discussions. Grace, who had always maintained a low profile, unexpectedly couldn’t help but shine on this occasion. Tom noticed that she seemed a little unhappy and chuckled.
“Well, there’s nothing I can do. Sister is too beautiful. Qipaos are quite picky when it comes to body shape, but this qipao on sis seems to be tailor made. Bringing you to events like this never disappoints me. I’m so impressed!”
Grace glanced at him and whispered, “You’re already making jokes so soon. I guess the beating you. received during the day doesn’t hurt anymore?”
Tom’s expression instantly changed, and he complained while circling his arm around hers, “No, it still hurts… It hurts a lot… I even had action scenes in the afternoon, and it hurt like hell
Grace couldn’t help but chuckle and lightly flick his forehead
Their playful interaction caught the attention of Edgar, who was not far away. His eyes grew cold, and this scene made him feel suffocated, as if his heart was being tightly squeezed.
But he knew he had no right to feel jealous. Yet he couldn’t help but feel unhappy.
Very unhappy!
Jade, standing beside him, keenly sensed the low pressure aura emanating from him, especially when she saw his clenched fist with prominent veins.

“Cousin, shall we go and greet Miss Grace and Tom?”
Edgar remained silent. He neither agreed nor refused. Jade made the decision herself and walked in Grace’s direction. Grace and Tom were having a lively conversation when they were suddenly interrupted by a discordant voice.
“Long time jío see, Miss Grace. You’re becoming more beautiful. Even with so much makeup, you can’t hide that fox like scent emanating from you.”
As soon as Tom heard these words, he became angry. “Of course, my sister is beautiful. Even without makeup, she can outshine you by miles. And if you call her makeup today heavy, then what should we call your wall-like face?”
“Besides, not everyone can be a fox. Someone like you can only be a wild boar.”
“You!”
Jade felt offended. Was she supposed to be a wild boar? She wasn’t that fat or ugly!

But those words weren’t directed at her by Grace. It was Tom who retorted. Jade didn’t want to offend the Walker family in Frant City, so she could only bear the humiliation silently.
Grace didn’t pay much attention to their bickering. She noticed Edgar walking out from behind Jade.
In just an instant, the aura around her changed. It became cold and profound. A thin layer of anger flickered in her eyes, like the harbinger of a storm.
Didn’t Jade harm him before? Moreover, she really disliked Jade! How could he leave his household chores undone and come out to attend the charity banquet with Jade?
Standing opposite her, Edgar almost instantly sensed the anger emanating from her. His Adam’s apple rolled subconsciously.
Oh no! He couldn’t care less about being angry at the interaction between Tom and her just now because Grace was angry. When he returned home tonight, it probably wouldn’t be easy for him….
Sensing the gaze of the two, Jade smiled and explained, “Cousin just missed you. But since you’ve teamed up with Tom, he could only accompany me in order to see you Grace, please don’t get jealous.”
Grace responded with a cold laugh, “Miss Evans is joking. He’s completely irrelevant to me, and I have no reason to be jealous.”
The four words “completely irrelevant” pierced Edgar’s heart. His face instantly turned pale. Taking a moment to alleviate the suffocating feeling, he stepped forward as if no one else was present and gently grabbed Grace’s wrist.
“Grace, our employment contract hasn’t been terminated yet. I still belong to you. I’ve been
well-behaved today, but when we get back, you can do whatever you want with me. You can punish me as harshly as you like, and I’ll endure it…”
His aggrieved black eyes gazed at her as he turned her wrist over, his distinct knuckles gently circling in the palm of her hand. The fluidity of these actions was remarkable.
Tom, beside them, looked shocked and could only utter, “Holy… shit,” to express his astonishment. How the hell did he dare to say such em barrassing words in public?
Jade was also taken aback. Was this clingy man still her cousin, who was once known for being cold and ruthless in the Fallen family?
Could it be that someone had cast a spell on him? However, Edgar continued to draw circles on Grace’s palm as if no one else was there.
Grace remained expressionless. After all, she wouldn’t be the one embarrassed by saying such things in public. But the circular motion of Edgar’s hand made her palms itch. Just as she was about to pull her hand back, she suddenly realized that his hand movements were not right!
Not only was he circling, but he was also… writing something? Grace concentrated for a while, but unfortunately, she didn’t understand what he wrote or his intention.
