His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 240

Evadne had been enjoying the comforts of home for three consecutive days, her routine consisting of little more than eating and sleeping. She was like a piglet in a pen, nursing on slop.

Her stepmothers were all too keen to pamper her. Myra was in charge of the kitchen, preparing a steady stream of delicious dishes for Evadne.

Three days later, she stepped on the scale and found that she had gained a whopping six pounds!

"I'll become a pig if I keep this up!" Evadne wailed in despair.

"Alright, alright, we'll ease up after this meal!" Myra and Aviana cajoled, leading Evadne back to the dining room.

Emeric and Jareth were out of town for an important event, leaving Evadne to have lunch with her three stepmothers.

"Miss Evadne! Good news!" Jason burst in, his eyes sparkling with glee. "Glynnis has been implicated in a business scandal and is now under police custody! Elspeth is running around like a headless chicken, and Mr. Frederic is busy trying to get his daughter out of trouble!"

"Ah, it took them three days to handle Glynnis. The Elmsworth police department could learn a thing or two from our Skyrim guards." Evadne wasn't surprised, she simply picked up a napkin and dabbed at her lips.

"Well, Glynnis is the heiress of a wealthy family. The police can't just act rashly."

Suri placed another pastry on Evadne's plate. "Here, have another one. Once you're back in Elmsworth, you won't get to enjoy Myra's cooking."

"Er, I really can't eat anymore!" Evadne shook her head, covering her mouth as she let out a small burp. This prompted a round of laughter from her stepmothers.

Observing Evadne's adorable antics, Jason couldn't help but smile. He moved closer and gently patted her back, afraid that she might choke.

"Miss Evadne, take it easy," he advised.

Suri, ever observant, caught the affectionate gesture. She didn't say anything, but she noted Jason's tenderness for Evadne.

"Sure, Glynnis from the Abernathy family is a troublemaker who has repeatedly provoked our Evadne, and deserves punishment. But I think Elspeth is the one who really should be arrested! She needs to be drained of her malicious intentions!" Aviana exclaimed, banging her hand on the table. "The woman has caused nothing but trouble for Evadne, and I refuse to believe that she's not behind it all! She's more toxic than a venomous rat!"

Seeing that her husband wasn't around, Aviana had completely thrown dining etiquette out the window. Myra, whose heart was racing, quickly stuffed a pineapple pastry into Aviana's mouth to silence her.

Evadne's eyes darkened upon hearing this. Apparently, there was a deep-seated enmity between Myra and Elspeth.

After lunch, Evadne decided not to question Myra directly, but instead went to Aviana's room to gather more information.

"Myra did indeed work with Elspeth at NexGen Network for quite some time before marrying Emeric. They were both signed artists of the same agency. However, while Myra was one of the top actresses, Elspeth was often relegated to playing the role of the villain in Myra's shows.”

“Knowing Elspeth's manipulative nature and intense jealousy, she must have tried to sabotage Myra's success, right?" Evadne speculated.

“That’s it. She...” Aviana was almost slipped out. “Oh no, I promised Myra that I will keep it secret.”

“Aviana! Elspeth must have been bullied Myra. Don’t you want to avenge her.”

“Aviana indeed had a grudge against Elspeth. Otherwise, she won’t quit showbiz in her prime time.”
