His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 184

Ada was so stoked that she was speechless!

She had put out feelers to anyone and everyone, hoping to get a piece of jewelry designed by Alea, but to no avail.

Now, Evadne was giving her this brooch as a welcome gift, they can imagine the thrill she was feeling inside!

“No, no, no, Ms. Evadne, I really appreciate your kindness, but this gift is way too posh, I can't accept it.” Ada, despite her internal glee, had to politely refuse due to courtesy.

“This brooch once soothed my wounded heart, but now, I've totally walked out of the shadows of my past life and I won't make the same mistakes again.”

Evadne gave a faint smile, her eyes firm, “So, this gift is more like a good wish. It helped me get out of my mental rut, so I hope this little trinket can bring you good luck in your future life.”

Thaddeus felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he'd been shot, his heart was aching.

The secret joy he had just felt was doused with a bucket of cold water by Evadne.

“Oh! In that case, I will accept your gift. Thank you so much! I really love it!”

Ada picked up the brooch that Evadne had revalued, grinning from ear to ear!

Holy cow, was this the same aloof international superstar? What a transformation!

“Why on earth?” Glynnis said angrily to Elspeth, “Mom, the Abernathy family spent big bucks to set up this stage, how can we let Evadne show off here? It's just a lousy brooch, the Abernathy family can afford it too! You should find a way to get this bitch out of here!”

“Find a way? Why should I?”

Elspeth's eyes darkened, and she said grimly, “Evadne is just a jinx. Her presence only brings bad luck. The bastard just mocked me by mentioning Ada, he's quite pleased with himself. Shouldn't someone teach him a lesson for me?”

Despite her anger, Glynnis was a bit puzzled.

Before the divorce, Evadne was very scared of Thaddeus. Every time he scowled, she would fret for several days. Now after the divorce, she seemed very confident and didn't care about Thaddeus at all.

If she had shown these capabilities earlier, would there have been any issue with Acacia?

“Ms. Evadne!”

Edith couldn't help it any longer. She walked up to Evadne and said with a fake smile, “You can give Miss Ada a gift anytime you want, but why do you have to choose tonight, at the Abernathy Hotel's banquet? Isn’t this a bit much?”

Thaddeus's face fell as he saw Edith step up.

“A gift is too much? Ms. Edith, are you underestimating Mr. Thaddeus's capabilities?”

Evadne said with narrowed eyes, “Besides, this is a banquet at the Abernathy Hotel, and Mr. Thaddeus is right here watching everything. If the host doesn't say anything, isn't it a bit much for a guest like you to criticize me?”

Edith was fuming, but she couldn't lose her cool with so many people watching.

Evadne sighed deeply and said to Ada, “Miss Ada, it seems I'm not very welcome here, which I completely understand. After all, our two families have always been business rivals, and my appearance is indeed quite sudden. Since my gift has been delivered, I guess I'll excuse myself.”

Then she turned to leave.

“Ms. Evadne, please wait!”

Ada hurriedly called out to Evadne and walked up to her, “I would like to discuss the topic of Alea jewelry with you in depth. Are you available tonight?”

“Of course. The K Orld Hotel has prepared a feast for you, how about we chat over dinner?”

Everyone was taken aback.

Did Evadne just brazenly invite Ada at the Abernathy Group's banquet?

Thaddeus felt a pang in his heart, the anger in his heart was rushing up. He was about to stop Ada.

“Mr. Thaddeus.” Ada looked at him, and gave a smile of apology, “I have some things to take care of. I might need to leave early, hope you guys have fun.”

Everyone was taken aback.

She just left like that?

She was indeed as willful as the rumors said, really hard to handle!

“Mr. Thaddeus, I don't mind preparing another set of utensils for you. Would you like to join us?” Evadne extended the invitation to Thaddeus with a smile, although there was no mirth in her eyes.
