Tourists gradually left Rose Manor, leaving only Evadne and Acacia in the garden.
As the surrounding light dimmed, Evadne's makeup-free face was still as pretty as ever, making Acacia feel both envious and jealous.
Putting all grudges aside, she had to admit that Evadne was stunningly beautiful.
How could she not feel threatened and hateful, having lived with such a beautiful woman and her man for three years, even if their relationship was only in name?
So, Acacia walked up to Evadne, tidied up her long hair, and showed a victorious smile, nothing like her soft demeanor in front of Thaddeus.
"Found someone new to lean on already? You're quick. Wouldn't it have been better to do this sooner? No matter how you cling to Thad, he won't give you a second look."
Evadne looked at her as if she was crazy. "Why would I need him to look at me? I'm not a peacock showing off."
Acacia was left speechless by Evadne's words. She cursed inside and then pulled out her trump card.
"Since we're here, let me give you some good news. Thad and I are getting engaged soon, and the engagement day is on my birthday."
"Really? Congrats, but I don't have a gift for you." Evadne said lazily, obviously just going through the motions.
Seeing Evadne's indifference, Acacia felt a surge of anger, feeling insulted. "No matter how tough you act, you must be angry and hateful inside. But what's the use? The one who ends up with Thad is still me, and you're the laughingstock of Elmsworth!"
"Ah, Acacia, every time you see me, you either claim you'll get Thaddeus or brag about your relationship with him. Is your life really that boring? Apart from a divorced man, don't you have anything else to show off?" Evadne sighed, feeling that talking to her was a waste of time.
But she couldn't let this arrogant bad girl off the hook, or she would feel guilty.
"What did you just say?!", Acacia glared at her, her face turning red in anger.
"I understand your desire to boast about marrying into a wealthy family, but you should find a suitable person to vent. What you treasure is trash that I don't want to see again. How boring."
"Trash?" Acacia's face turned red with anger, she shouted, "Evadne! You're just jealous! The harsher you speak, the more it shows how much you care about Thad and me being together! You calling Thad trash is just a way to vent. After all, you're the one who spent three years without any gain, and you're the one Thad dumped!"
Evadne's eyes suddenly turned cold, making Acacia shiver inside.
"People really need to understand a fact that they should know when to stop. Just because I can step back doesn't mean you can go too far. I'm kind, but it doesn't mean you can talk nonsense in front of me. I warn you for the last time, don't take my patience as an excuse for you to cross the line. Otherwise, your future days may not be so easy, Miss Ahley."
The sudden mention of the name "Ahley" scared Acacia, her face turned pale instantly.
She felt her blood rushing back, and she took a small step back in panic.
"What's with that look?"
Evadne saw her face turn pale in an instant and couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't Ahley your name when you studied abroad? I've never seen anyone get so scared hearing their own name."
"I don't know who Ahley is. I've never heard this name, I don't know what you're talking about!" Acacia denied vehemently, her breathing getting more and more rapid.
After all, Ahley was a fallen, promiscuous, and she was a greedy woman completely different from the innocent and obedient image she showed to Thaddeus now.
If Thaddeus knew she had been sleeping with men seven days a week and even gave birth to a baby girl, everything would be over.
Evadne squinted her beautiful eyes and took a few steps towards her, bending slightly with a cold smile.
