His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 175

Ever since Gordon returned from Aetheria to Elmsworth, he had been keeping tabs on Evadne.

But word had it that there was no new scoop on Evadne.

She had been busy managing her hotel and hadn't left Elmsworth.

Thaddeus was sitting in his office, staring out the window, a frown on his face.

With Ada's wedding date coming closer, wasn't she worried at all? Or had she given up on Alea and was planning something else?

The theft at Rose Manor, Elspeth's arrest and the hijacking of the Westguard project, all these things had this tough guy a bit wary of Evadne.

Honestly, which guy would start fearing his ex-wife after the divorce?

Then the phone rang and Thaddeus picked it up.

"Mr. Thaddeus, Mr. Jareth is here to see you," the secretary said respectfully.

"Let him in."

As soon as Jareth walked into the CEO's office, he made himself at home, plopping into the sofa like it was his own. The only thing missing was him taking his shoes off.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to come if you have nothing to do? You think I'm as free as you?" Thaddeus didn't even look up, just kept signing documents.

"Can't I come here if I have nothing to do? Who do you think you are? But seriously, my mom was watching a drama and I think you're pretty similar to the male lead. You're both heartless villains." Jareth teased.

"Spit it out if you have something, if not, get lost." Thaddeus slammed down his pen and sat up straight.

"Edith's been back for a few days now. My mom has invited you over for dinner."

"I'm a bit tied up recently. Ada's issue hasn't been resolved, I'm not in the mood for a gathering."

"How long has it been since you last saw your godmother? My mom just came back from abroad and wants to cook for you. You're being really disrespectful!" Jareth rolled his eyes, "She even remembers your favorite dish and has prepared everything. She'll be disappointed if you don't show up."

Thaddeus pursed his lips, then gently said, "Alright, I'll go."

"That's more like it! Edith will be so happy to know you're coming. You might not be welcome in your own family, but in the Jareth family. You're the apple of their eye!" Jareth got excited when he agreed.

Thaddeus suddenly remembered what happened at the concert hall that night, Edith's overly intimate behavior towards him, and he felt uncomfortable both mentally and physically.

In the past, he would walk around the park holding young Edith's hand. She was only ten then as a cute little girl, and he treated her like a little sister because she was his best friend's sister.

But now, she's grown up. She can be naive, but he can't be.

Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Mr. Thaddeus! I've investigated the relationship between Ms. Evadne and Avery, and the relationship between the Chambers Group and the Ashbourne Group as you asked!" Gordon walked in, talking loudly and hastily with files in hand.

Jareth blinked.

Thaddeus almost crushed his pen, feeling dizzy.

"Oh, Mr. Thaddeus, you have a guest. I'll leave you two to talk." Gordon gave an awkward smile and started to back away.

"We're not strangers here."

Jareth smirked, picking up an orange from the fruit bowl and started peeling it while watching Thaddeus, "So what? You can't stand it and decided to take the initiative?"

"Keep eating your orange and mind your own business." Thaddeus lowered his head, his heart giving a little jolt.

"Why can't I ask? I was the first one to pursue Ms. Evadne. You and that powerless guy should both step aside!" Jareth threw a piece of orange into his mouth and chewed on it angrily.

"So what if you were the first?
