His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 182

Ada's first visit to Elmsworth created quite a stir. With the massive promo from Abernathy Hotel, it was all over the news, all about this global superstar and the hotel she was staying in.

The Abernathy Hotel had been in hot water recently, getting a bad rep left and right.

Bad press can bring attention, but for Abernathy Hotel, it's a disaster they can't afford.

For decades, Abernathy Hotel had been top-notch, hosting VIPs from all walks of life, politics, economics, culture, sports, you name it. Even the previous President Windhelm would crash here every time he visited Elmsworth.

But for the past half year, they had been in a downward spiral. Now, the Abernathy Hotel only reminded people of Thaddeus's scandal and Acacia's cheap stunts.

Reputation took years to build and seconds to break.

So, Thaddeus throwing all resources to get Ada here was a desperate attempt to save their image.

He really needed a win this time, more than anyone.

Six p.m.

Fans and reporters were swarming outside the hotel to catch a glimpse of Ada.

They even rolled out the red carpet. Fancy stuff.

"I’m Ada’s biggest fan! I’ve seen all seven of The Evil March! Ten years flew by! I'm finally going to see my goddess!"

"In Elmsworth, no hotel does it better than Abernathy Hotel! Sure, the K Orld Hotel is okay, but it doesn't hold a candle to Abernathy Hotel in terms of fame, facilities, and equipment!"

"But the recent moves from Abernathy Hotel are hard to swallow."

"Still, they're the top dog in the hotel game! Ada choosing to stay here is a clear nod to Abernathy Hotel's prowess!"

The bodyguard opened the door of the stretched Lincoln.

Tonight's star, Ada, stepped out to the cheers of her fans.

Ada was of mixed heritage, with curly chestnut hair and sharp features. Standing at 5.7 feet, her long legs and broad shoulders made her stand out in a crowd.

This was her first time in Elmsworth. She underestimated the passion of her fans, so she was in a great mood. The usually aloof superstar even waved to her fans with a smile.

"Ada! I grew up watching your movies!"

"Oh my gosh, how does she not age? She's stunning!"

Protected by her agent and bodyguards, Ada strode into the hotel and took the private elevator to the banquet hall.

Thaddeus and Gordon were waiting outside. Seeing Ada, Thaddeus walked up coolly and shakes her hand.

"Miss Ada, welcome to Elmsworth."

Tonight, Thaddeus was as dapper as ever, exuding an air of elegance and luxury.

He had got a strong presence, standing toe to toe with the star.

"Hello, Mr. Thaddeus." Ada shook his hand.

"First time in Elmsworth, how are you finding it?"

"My mother is from Elmsworth, Windhelm, so this city holds a special place in my heart. This may be my first time here, but I’m already in love."

Thaddeus's charisma and great conversation skills put Ada at ease. They walked into the banquet hall, laughing and chatting.

The hall was filled with celebrities, a dazzling sight.

Ada's arrival caused quite a stir. Even top stars couldn't contain their excitement and rushed to take pictures with her.

After all, she was the kind of A-lister they only see at the Oscars or Cannes!

And almost all the female stars were throwing longing looks at the handsome Mr. Thaddeus.

Now that the former "gatekeeper" Acacia was out of the picture, many of Elmsworth's high society ladies and rich heiresses were trying to marry Thaddeus.

He was the real deal, a successful man. The rest were just wannabes.

Elspeth and Glynnis, members of the Abernathy family, were standing to the side with champagne, relegated to the background, their gloomy faces not hidden by their flawless makeup.

"Mom, we're also part of the Abernathy family. Why are we just extras for Thaddeus?"

Glynnis grumbled unhappily, and Elspeth's face tightened even more.

As the wife of the chairman of the Abernathy Group and a former movie star, she was used to the spotlight. Being sidelined was not something she could stomach.

So Elspeth put on a fake smile and sashayed over to Thaddeus and Ada.
