His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 110

After the banquet, Hamiltion worried about Marilla's health, so he called in his personal doctor to give her a check-up. Only when he was sure she was okay did he finally relax.

In the corridor, two handsome men were leaning against the window sill.

Thaddeus handed a cigarette to Jareth, who lit it and took a deep puff.

The sparks flickered before him, surrounded by smoke.

"Ilana. Her real name is Evadne, the daughter of Emeric?"

Jareth felt like he was dreaming, this was just too unbelievable.

"Yes." Thaddeus' fingers quivered slightly as he flicked the ash off his cigarette.

"Holy shit. Thad, you've hit the jackpot! How did such good luck land on you?" Jareth slapped him heavily on the shoulder, his eyes glittering. "You've unknowingly become the son-in-law of Emeric. What if you didn't divorce Ilana? Oh no, Evadne? With the support of the Ashbourne family, wouldn't Frederic and that conniving Elspeth have to dance to your tune? Doesn't the whole Abernathy family have to listen to you?"

"Even without Evadne, the Abernathy family is under my control." Thaddeus blew out a smoke ring, glaring at him resentfully. "Do you think I'm the kind of man who relies on a woman to climb up?"

"No, you're not that kind of person. You're a workaholic, always busy working. I just think it's a pity. If you could use this opportunity, you could save ten years of struggle!" Jareth sighed.

Thaddeus extinguished his cigarette, feeling a void in his heart and a sense of regret, but not the same as what Jareth was saying.

"I don't understand why she married me in the first place."

"Neither do I. You have a terrible temper, no sense of romance, have someone else in your heart, and you're bad in bed. She'd be better off marrying me." Jareth said it bluntly.

"Jareth, do you think Emeric would fancy you? Are you worthy of Evadne?" Thaddeus' eyes were deep, filled with a desire to choke someone.

"At least, I wouldn't be as petty as you, suspecting her every time she's with another man. On this point alone, I think I score higher in Miss Evadne's eyes, right?"

Jareth couldn't help but laugh. "You used to pick on her because she was close with Cassius and said so many ugly things; don't you regret it now?"

"Why did she hide her identity from me? Why didn't she tell me the truth?" Thaddeus was seething at the thought.

"You're divorced; telling you now won't make a difference. Besides, if you had a shred of trust in her, you wouldn't have done what you did. That's why I say you two wouldn't have lasted even if you got married, because you have no feelings for Ms. Evadne, no sense of responsibility, and no trust. She put up with you for three years; I can only admire her endurance because I couldn't stand you for a day."

Jareth suddenly became a relationship expert, delving deep into Thaddeus' hidden inner world.

Thaddeus' thin lips were tightly closed, and the veins on his clenched fists were popping.

Jareth lightly pinched his shoulder, his smile full of confidence. "Buddy, I've learned my lesson from you. I won't make the same mistakes. Whether she's Ilana or Evadne, I'll make sure to win her over. Wish me luck!"

"Get lost."

If looks could kill, Thaddeus would have killed Jareth by now.

"Okay, okay, we're like enemies when we're close and friends when we're apart!" Jareth suddenly stopped before leaving, his eyes full of curiosity. "You're not just going to let tonight's incident slide, are you?"

"There's something fishy about Elspeth and her daughter." Thaddeus' voice was deep, like a rumble of thunder. "But even if I have evidence, this matter will be suppressed by Frederic because he doesn't want to air the family's dirty laundry. I can only deal with them in other ways; teach them a lesson."

"Lucky Miss Evadne is okay. If something happened, then the ones taken away by the police tonight would be Elspeth and her daughter!" Jareth sucked in a cold breath.

The thought of it filled Thaddeus with rage. If anything happened to Evadne, he'd show no mercy!

A dangerous feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

"What about your fiancée? When Ms. Evadne was in trouble, she was the first to come forward and describe the situation in detail in front of Chairman Emeric. Don't you suspect her?"

Thaddeus' brow was furrowed, a mix of frustration and doubt tormenting him.

He didn't believe in coincidences.
