His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 185

Over at the Abernathy Group, the party was still in full swing.

But the mood had noticeably cooled down since Ada was whisked away by Evadne.

Initially, Edith had dressed to the nines, hoping to showcase her talent in front of the international superstar and stroke her own ego. But with Ada gone, there was no chance for her to perform anymore. All her preparations had gone to waste.

All because of that sly fox, Evadne!

Outside the banquet hall, Thaddeus stood tall and straight by the French windows with icy cold aura.

He kept his eyes on the direction where the Rolls-Royce had disappeared, his breathing heavy and his fists clenched.

"Mr. Thaddeus, I hate to say it, but I think we've been played by Ms. Evadne," Gordon said, wiping his sweat nervously. "The trending topics are all about the K Group now. We're nowhere to be found. And the news of Ms. Evadne taking Ada away publicly has spread like wildfire, even the chairman knows about it. People are doubting our capability and questioning the overall quality of our hotel."

By the end of his report, Gordon was sweating buckets.

This was a foreseeable outcome. When Evadne struck, she left no breathing room for her opponent.

Thaddeus stared at the direction where the Rolls-Royce lights had long disappeared, his voice hoarse, "When did you switch your address for her? Weren't you always calling her Mrs. Abernathy?"

Gordon took a sharp breath in, "As long as she doesn't mess with you, she's Mrs. Abernathy. If she does, she's Ms. Evadne."

"It's just a name, call her what you want."

Thaddeus took a deep breath, his eyes darkening, "And I'm not angry. Ms. Evadne has always been like this, hasn't she?"

Gordon was taken aback. Every time Thaddeus competed with Mrs. Abernathy, he was gritting his teeth. And now, with such a big incident, wasn't he even angry?

Could it be he enjoy being tormented?

"But how could Evadne get in? This party requires an invitation for each guest, and the hotel security is very strict," Thaddeus couldn't help but be curious.

Gordon said there was a brief glitch in the security system before Mrs. Abernathy came in. But the hotel's network equipment was just serviced a few days ago, it couldn't have broken down this quickly. They suspected hacker interference or a virus.

A hacker? Thaddeus frowned.

Could this also be Evadne's doing? Was she capable of this?

Or did one of her brothers help her again?

"Thad!"

A soft sweet voice called out, disrupting Thaddeus's thoughts.

Hearing Edith running over, Thaddeus frowned even deeper. He didn't even want to turn around and face her.

"Evadne's behaviour was totally out of line! She took Ada away right in front of you. It's like she was publicly humiliating you. She doesn't take you seriously at all!" Edith stomped her foot, seizing the opportunity to badmouth Evadne.

She knew men were very concerned about their dignity, especially a high-ranking man like Thaddeus. He wouldn't tolerate anyone challenging his authority and making him lose face!

However, the next moment, Thaddeus's response made her face turn pale instantly.

"You've just met her, so you don't know her yet. Ms. Evadne has always been like this, never taking me seriously."

"Thad, what are you saying?"

"But what's the big deal? I don't care."

Thaddeus coldly turned his gaze to Edith with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, "On the other hand, Ms. Edith, your behavior tonight baffles me."

The address of "Ms. Edith" was like a dagger stabbing into Edith's heart, causing her immense pain.

Thad was so distant towards her!

Was he trying to draw a line with her?

"This is the Abernathy Group's party, and I'm personally present. You shouldn't have represented the Abernathy Group."

"But I was just trying to help you!"

Edith was so anxious that her voice turned shrill. She tightly grasped Thaddeus's arm, "So you would just let that wicked woman flaunt at your party? Let her take away your esteemed guest, turning the Abernathy group into the laughing stock of Elmsworth? She's too much! What makes her so arrogant? Is it because she's your ex-wife?"

Realizing what she just said, Edith was startled.

Sure enough, Thaddeus frowned, a trace of chilliness flashing across his stern face, "Who told you that Evadne is my ex-wife?"

"My brother told me!" Edith lied through her teeth.

"So it was Glynnis who told you, huh?"
