His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 120

Evadne blinked. Then she responded indifferently, "I'm fine, but Marilla might not be."

Thaddeus' eyes were as deep as ink. His grip tightened on Glynnis' wrist.

"Ouch! Let go! It hurts!" Glynnis cried out in pain as beads of sweat on her forehead and tears welled up in her eyes.

Thaddeus pursed his thin lips and then said without hesitation, “Let go of her.”

With his powerful force, Glynnis stumbled backwards, finally sitting on the floor in embarrassment.

"She started it by chucking her shoe at me! Look, I even have a shoe print on my face! That's proof!" Glynnis sobbed, pounding the ground with her fist. "She barged into our house and attacked your sister! How could you be so biased?!"

However, Thaddeus didn't even glance at her. He just kept asking Evadne, "Are you really okay?"

Evadne, clearly annoyed, didn't bother to respond. She quickly moved to Marilla's side, crouched down, and gently stroked her soft hair.

Marilla flung herself into Evadne's arms, crying.

She didn't even cry when Glynnis hit her, but the sight of Evadne broke her.

"Don't cry, I'm here. No one will dare to bully you again. Marilla, I'll protect you from now on." Evadne comforted Marilla, glaring at Glynnis with anger.

What a wicked woman! She was just like the evil stepmother in Snow White!

Watching the two girls huddle together, Thaddeus felt a stir of emotion in his cold heart.

"Glynnis, I have something to tell you." Evadne looked at Glynnis, her eyes cold. "From now on, I'll be protecting Marilla. Don't think I don't know what's going on here in Windermere Estate just because I'm not here. I don't care about anything else, but if you dare to lay a finger on Marilla and I find out, don't blame me for not being polite. The Ashbourne family won't let the Abernathy family off easily."

Glynnis' pupils contracted. A shiver ran down her spine. She looked at Thaddeus for help. Her makeup was ruined by tears.

"Did you hear what Evadne said?" Thaddeus asked coldly, his gaze never leaving Evadne.

Glynnis had lost all hope. She realized he wouldn't help her. He never considered her his sister.

Then, she had no choice but to swallow her pride!

"Apologize to Marilla right now." Thaddeus ordered sternly.

Glynnis bit her lip, refusing to speak.

"Glynnis!"

"Forget it. An insincere apology is meaningless." Evadne spoke firmly, "As long as she stops causing trouble, that's good enough."

Rubbing the shoe print on her forehead, Glynnis stormed off to her room.

"Evadne! You crazy woman! I won't let you off easily!"

Glynnis' eyes were red and swollen. Her breath was ragged. It took a moment for her to realize why Evadne was at her house. Did Thaddeus bring her? What was he trying to imply?

Was he planning to reconcile with his ex-wife? That was unacceptable!

Although Acacia was nasty, she didn't come from a prestigious family and looked worn out. So Glynnis could beat her.

But Evadne was different. She came from a prestigious family and was extremely ruthless. If she reconciled with Thaddeus, Glynnis would become the target of the Ashbourne family's anger.
