Acacia's words got Hamiltion all jittery. He asked nervously, "What's up? Is Ilana alright?"
Thaddeus also got all worked up from this.
"Acacia, just spit it out. No strangers here." Elspeth urged with a cool glint in her eyes.
"Well. I was just strolling around the villa and saw Ms. Ilana and President Ashbourne entering the same room. President Ashbourne seemed a bit drunk, I guess Ms. Ilana was taking care of him."
Acacia put on an innocent face, "I was a bit freaked out at first, but then I thought since President Ashbourne and Ms. Ilana are officially an item, there shouldn't be any problem with them being together."
Thaddeus was so shocked that he gripped his hand tightly.
Emeric was puzzled and stood up at once, "Who's Cassius with? Who's Ilana?"
Acacia looked at Thaddeus in fright.
Thaddeus felt his head throbbing, and without saying a word, he walked out.
Acacia was secretly pleased.
This time, she was going to make Ilana lose face!
"You guys still haven't told me! Who the hell was Ilana?" Emeric asked anxiously, his temples throbbing.
Cassius had always been his pride and joy, and there's no way he would mess around with some woman.
"Chairman Emeric, you didn't know?" Elspeth feigned surprise, "Mr. Cassius and Ms. Ilana just went public with their relationship at the birthday party just now. I saw Suri and Ms. Ilana getting along very well at the charity auction, and I thought you had given your blessing."
"What? Suri knew her too?" Emeric's face changed drastically.
It seemed that both Cassius and Suri had been influenced by this Ms. Ilana.
"Enough! Ilana and Mr. Cassius's business is their own! There's no need to bring it up!"
Hamiltion, who cherished Ilana, naturally didn't want to hear Elspeth stirring up trouble.
"This matter, if you dig deeper, is not merely their private affair." Elspeth's eyes shifted, "After all, Ilana and Thaddeus have only signed a divorce agreement, and the divorce process has not been officially completed. In principle, she is still a member of the Abernathy family. We originally planned to announce Thaddeus and Acacia's engagement after your birthday, and they have kept a low profile during this period. Acacia, as the future lady of the Abernathy family, has suffered a lot because of Ilana. We have been patient, but Ms. Ilana publicly announced her relationship with President Ashbourne at your birthday party, putting the Abernathy family in an awkward position."
Acacia and Glynnis exchanged glances, and they were almost dying of laughter!
Emeric was dumbstruck. His brain came to a sudden halt, leaving a blank.
Cassius had always been a top-quality bachelor for thirty years. How could he suddenly fall for Thaddeus's wife?!
What a disaster!
Thaddeus was frantically running down the long corridor.
He had always been a noble, elegant, and steady man, like a nobleman from ancient times. It had been many years since anyone had been able to upset his rhythm.
But this time, hearing that Ilana and Cassius were in the same room, he lost control. He just wanted to stop them, he wanted to pull her back to him at all costs.
When he arrived at the room door, Thaddeus's eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was rapid, and he was sweating like a pig.
What had happened in the room? How far had they gone? Could he still stop them?
Thaddeus felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened at this moment!
Evadne was panting, supporting a dishevelled Cassius. When she saw Thaddeus, she was stunned.
Thaddeus's hand hung in mid-air, his breathing uneven, his lips trembling.
"What are you doing here?" Evadne's heart suddenly sped up, and then she laughed at herself, "Oh, so the news has spread. You're the first to come over and laugh at us, aren't you?"
"Did he touch you?" Thaddeus's fingers were tense, his face pale.
