His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 162

It had been a wild ride but finally, everything was settled.

Evadne set off a domino effect using the insignificant George, leading to the total collapse of the Stirling family.

Although the Abernathy family was also affected, Thaddeus didn't end up marrying Acacia. He was a victim in this mess too; his reputation was tarnished, becoming the talk of the town.

In the General Manager's office.

Evadne squeezed in a couple of games, while Jason peeled grapes for her, reporting on important matters simultaneously.

"Aaron sent word that Una's trial is about to start. So far, no lawyer is willing to defend her. The evidence is solid, and no one wants to fight this losing battle. So, a twenty-year sentence is pretty much inevitable for her."

Jason bent over to feed the translucent grape to Evadne.

She swallowed it, narrowing her eyes and licking her lips as she was impressed by the taste of it, "So sweet!"

Jason couldn't help but chuckle.

"Aaron is too much, he could have called me himself, but had you relay the message." Evadne sighed helplessly, feeling a bit down.

Aaron and Nydia were alike in that they both worried too much.

Aaron was only three years older than her, but his care for her from childhood was no less than her other four brothers.

"Aaron does have a bit of an inferiority complex, he can't bring himself to spoil you openly," Jason observed, having a clear understanding of the relationships within the Ashbourne family.

"Aaron always overthinks."

Evadne shook her head, "In my heart, he's no different than Cassius, I love and admire them all the same."

"By the way, George is now locked up in jail. Arnold and Aaron, wanting to get back at him for you, joined forces to crack down on a few members of the underworld from gambling dens and loan shark companies. They're locked up together with that scum."

Jason clenched his teeth, his eyes cold, "George can take his time to repay his debts from within jail."

Evadne chuckled, "My brothers were thoughtful, I'll have to cook for them to thank them."

"Also, the Stirling family's debt is said to be almost paid off."

Evadne paused, frowning, "Was it Thaddeus who helped her out? He's really dedicated to the Stirling’s."

"No, it was Elspeth."

Evadne fell silent.

"But it's strange. Acacia's reputation is already ruined, she's useless now. Elspeth isn't a saint either, why would she clean up the mess for the Stirling’s?" Jason voiced his confusion.

"Even though Acacia is useless, she might have something on Elspeth."

Evadne said coldly, "They've been working together for a long time, does Acacia not know any of Elspeth's secrets? As you said, Elspeth isn't a philanthropist, so she must be under Acacia's control, forced to help fill the gap for the Stirling group."

"Hmph, she brought it upon herself, serves her right!"

Jason peeled another grape and fed it to Evadne, "I heard Acacia paid the hospital bill and then left Mr. Stirling to go abroad to avoid the scandal. I suppose she won't dare to return to Elmsworth for a while. That poor little girl was completely ignored by Acacia. As per your instructions, I've sent her to a welfare home in Elmsworth that the Ashbourne family has sponsored. She's doing well in her new environment, so you can rest assured."

"What a shame!" Evadne swallowed the grape.

"Huh?"

"It's a shame Acacia and Thaddeus didn't end up together. They're both fundamentally selfish and cold-hearted, they should be locked together for life."

Just as Evadne exited the game, she noticed a player named Rose sent a friend request, with a pretty high game level.

She didn't think too much of it. As a gaming master, she received friend requests from players at home and abroad daily. She was just intrigued by the username "Rose", so she accepted the request.
