His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 238

The servants of the Fairhaven household all gasped, their hands flying to their mouths in shock!

This woman, Elspeth, riding on the favor of the Abernathy's chairman, was she trying to cause a scandal within the Fairhaven family?

Simultaneously, all eyes turned towards Edith, including the stunned Mrs. Jareth.

"Edith, is what Elspeth is saying true?"

Edith quickly put on an innocent and harmless expression, her brows furrowed as she defended herself with a coquettish tone, "Mummy, I really didn't do that! The idea of making fake jewelry to give to Ada to win her over was all Glynnis'!"

Seeing Edith distort the truth with her lies, Glynnis was furious, glaring at her and shouting, "Edith, stop lying! It was your idea to help me win over Ada and smear Evadne's reputation by creating a replica of Alea's jewelry!"

"Evadne? The Ashbourne's lady? What does she have to do with this?" Mrs. Jareth asked, her eyes wide with surprise.

Edith was at a loss for words, a bead of sweat trickling down her forehead.

This stupid Glynnis, she had actually dragged Evadne into this. She must be determined to make a clean break with her!

"Elspeth, what do you think this place is? A place for you to yell and scream?"

A chilling voice suddenly echoed, piercing through Glynnis's chest like a sharp sword!

One could see Jareth's deep eyes, a smirk playing on his lips as he walked in from the entrance with a swagger.

"It doesn't matter if you guys don't care about your image, just don't tarnish the Fairhaven family's prestige."

"Mr. Jareth!" The butler and the servants all greeted him with a bow.

"Jareth!" Edith, seeing her savior, immediately put on a teary-eyed damsel-in-distress act.

Jareth had always despised Glynnis, and had been extremely indulgent towards Edith since they were children. He would definitely side with Edith without knowing the full story!

"Mr. Jareth! You and Thaddeus are like brothers, our Abernathy family and your Fairhaven family also have a connection, how can you be so rude to me, your elder?" Elspeth was fuming.

"My relationship with Thad is between us, what does it have to do with you, Elspeth? You're not the one who raised Thad."

Jareth tilted his head, a mocking smile on his lips, "I don't see you treating Thad well normally, but now you're using him to make a point, do you think I'll fall for it?"

Elspeth never thought that Jareth would show such a different face in public and in private! When in the Abernathy family, he was polite to her, but here, he was like a completely different person, not hiding his contempt and disgust for her at all!

Was it because she had Frederic backing her up behind the scenes? If Frederic ever stopped favoring her, wouldn't she be nothing in the eyes of these youngsters?

Elspeth felt a chill run down her spine, like she had stepped into thin air.

As Elspeth, she had everything for over two decades, yet it seemed like she'd never even received the most basic respect!

"Jareth! Glynnis went too far! She got herself into trouble and is trying to drag me down with her, slandering me!"

Edith ran into Jareth's arms, clinging tightly to his waist, "Jareth. I know I was wrong! You told me not to hang out with Glynnis, but I didn't listen. Now, I'm paying the price for it. I won't be headstrong anymore, I'll listen to you!"

"Edith, is what Glynnis said true?"

Jareth's penetrating gaze fixed on Edith, his voice tense with suppressed emotion, "The person who created the fake jewelry behind the scenes, trying to frame Ms. Evadne, was it you?"
