His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 112

Acacia got a real smackdown.

"I've said it over and over again: whatever your plans are, don't drag Glynnis in! If you continue this shit, don't blame me for playing hardball!"

"I messed up. I acted impulsively. I swear I won't do it again!"

Acacia was burning up inside, but she had to keep groveling to Elspeth.

Elspeth sneered at this woman, who was bowing and scraping.

If the Frost Group weren't short on manpower, there was no way she would back a disobedient and scheming woman like Acacia marrying Thaddeus!

But, as they say, train soldiers for a thousand days and use them for an hour. After nurturing Acacia for so many years, she didn't want to ditch this tool at a crucial moment.

Tonight's events left a bad taste in her mouth, but despite all that, she had to keep using this tool!

"Now that Ilana is the heiress of the Ashbourne family, a notoriously pampering family led by Emeric, you won't be able to lay a hand on her! The most important thing now is for you to win Thaddeus's heart as quickly as possible and marry him according to plan! That's what matters the most!"

Elspeth's lips were tight, matching her red lipstick, she looked downright menacing.

"But Thaddeus clearly wants to cut ties with me! Like Mr. Frederic said, once Thaddeus thinks about breaking up with me, no one can stop him!"

Acacia, seeing her dream of marrying into a wealthy family teetering on the brink, burst into tears again.

"But he hasn't decided to take that step yet!" Elspeth's eyes were cold as she suddenly grabbed Acacia's shoulder. "Acacia, don't contact Thaddeus for the next few days; don't leave the house; don't see anyone; give everyone the impression that you're deeply troubled because of Thaddeus!"

"Will this work?" Acacia expressed doubt.

"Acacia, you might have to eat some humble pie and endure some hardship. But listen to me, only by stirring up a man's deep memories of you and reminding him of your good side can you win his heart back!"

At night, Thaddeus sat in his study, smoking one cigarette after another, surrounded by smoke, his deep eyes looking hazy and his face stern and noble.

Thinking of Evadne's words, "See you at nine tomorrow morning. Let's finish the divorce proceedings at the court," he couldn't sleep.

As for Evadne, after visiting Cassius in the hospital, Jason and Emeric took her back to her villa in Elmsworth.

After all, she had to go to court with Thaddeus for a formal divorce in the morning, so she had to somehow send Emeric, the big shot, back to Skyrim.

After removing her makeup, taking a bath, and doing her skincare, she ate a bowl of noodles, put on an eye mask, and fell asleep until dawn.

Due to some twists and turns at Mr. Hamiltion's birthday banquet yesterday, Evadne had expended a lot of energy, so when she woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, and she didn't even have breakfast!

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

Evadne, with tassel earrings and a slightly furrowed brow, descended the stairs.

Jason hurried over in his apron, seeing Evadne, who was pretty much makeup-free.

Her skin was delicate and clear, her eyes bright, her lips rosy, and she was so beautiful that it was hard to look away.

Even though he could see her like this every day, he was always amazed and never got tired of it.

"I saw you were really tired last night so I didn't wake you up. I wanted you to sleep longer."

"But you can't do that. Today is the day I get a divorce!" Evadne glared at Jason discontentedly, saying, "I always respect time, plus if I'm late on a day like this, that arrogant jerk Thaddeus might think I can't let him go."

"I've been waiting for this day, it's really something to celebrate." Jason said it sincerely.

"Yeah, you see, I even wore a new dress to celebrate this day." Evadne twirled around.

Jason was worried that Evadne might feel uncomfortable on this day, but it turned out his worries were unnecessary.

"Ms. Evadne, have some food before you go."

"No time; pack it up for me; I'll eat it in the car!"
