His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 146

Jason and Thaddeus went nose to nose, tension thick in the air.

"Well, isn't this a coincidence, Mr. Thaddeus, or are we just unlucky?" Jason's words were laced with malice.

"Is Evadne here?" Thaddeus frowned, asking seriously.

At the mention of the name, Acacia's heart pounded with unease.

"What? Is she not allowed to be here?"

Jason scoffed, his words dripping with sarcasm. "Mr. Thaddeus, you don't own this place."

"Huh, Mr. Thaddeus is just asking. Why so touchy, Jason!" Gordon snapped back.

"Just asking, huh? Do you even have the right to ask?" Jason's face twisted with disdain.

"What did you say!"

"Enough, Gordon," Thaddeus silenced him, then asked, "What's Evadne doing here?"

Jason gave Acacia a cold look before answering mockingly, "Mr. Thaddeus, Ms. Evadne's reason for being here is the same as yours."

Thaddeus's face darkened further.

He realized that Evadne had developed an interest in the rose field, but this time, he would not let her succeed!

On the other side.

Evadne had already hiked up her skirt. She stepped into the rose bushes, looking every bit the lively sprite.

She sat without care on the damp earth, her delicate hands playing with the soil. She studied the rose stems and petals, snapping pictures and making detailed notes on her phone.

Other girls came for the view and for the pictures.

But not Evadne. She was clearly here for business opportunities.

Who would've thought that such a beautiful woman would be so practical? She was only thinking about how to make a buck.

Ambitious women really had a way of drawing people in.

Avery stood by, patiently waiting for her.

He cracked a small smile, his affection for her impossible to hide. "You're still the same girl as you were when we were kids. That's nice."

His secretary called, breaking his thoughts.

Avery frowned, picking up the phone, "What's up?"

"Mr. Chambers, Thaddeus is here."

The secretary whispered, "Earlier, the Abernathy Group had contacted me about a potential collaboration on the Rose Manor project. I didn't give them a definitive answer as per your instruction. I can't believe they already brought a survey team. They seem determined to collaborate with us."

Avery gazed at the busy Evadne, whispering to his secretary, "Who else came aside from the Abernathy Group?"

"Thaddeus's rumored fiancée. He even brought her to something like this. They must be really close." His secretary's words were tinged with sarcasm.

And Evadne had no idea about all this.

Was this the man Evadne used to love?

Was this the man she was willing to give up everything for, to stay by his side for three whole years?

Evadne really was a fool.

Avery's heart was filled with anger. He asked coldly, "Have you prepared what I asked for?"

"All set, Mr. Chambers!" his secretary hurriedly replied.

"Bring it over, and send someone to guide the Abernathy Group over." Avery adjusted his glasses, a faint sneer flashing in his eyes.
