Evadne could feel the heat radiating from Thaddeus's palm, wave after wave washing over her skin.
She thought, "Crazy man! What's gotten into you again? Take off your dirty hand!"
As if sensing her attempt to break free, the man's fingers nearly crushed her shoulder, gripping her with a force that felt like they were fused together.
The sight of the former husband and wife being so intimate startled everyone!
Only Hamilton, their grandfather, sported a surprised yet relieved grin. His previously suppressed mood instantly blossomed, his mouth agape with joy.
He thought, "Oh my! Have Ilana and Thaddeus gotten back together? But Ilana doesn't seem to be too pleased, does she?"
Well, whether it's relentless pursuit or forced courtship, his grandson's thick skull finally seems to have a crack of understanding! Any progress in their relationship was worth celebrating with fireworks!
Evadne, having had enough, took advantage of the distraction. She slowly lifted her foot and stomped down hard.
“Ugh.” Thaddeus's brows furrowed slightly, a barely audible grunt escaping him.
Only she could hear it.
Evadne curled her lips in a smirk, her stiletto heel grinding into the tip of the man's bespoke leather shoes.
Ah! That was satisfying.
But Thaddeus was in such pain that his lips trembled!
The intense pain almost made his soul fly out of his body!
Thaddeus clenched his teeth, his eyes slowly turning to look at the smug woman in his arms.
Involuntarily, his stern eyebrows softened.
Hmm, did bullying him make her so happy?
Then he didn't mind letting her step on him again.
“Grandpa! I'm being framed!”
Glynnis, seeing that if things continued this way, the former couple would smear her in front of their grandfather, pulled Cedric in to show her innocence. “If I were really guilty, even Mr. Cedric couldn't possibly get me acquitted! The police aren't fools, how could they not find evidence against a guilty person? From beginning to end, it's all Evadne framing me!”
“Mr. Hamilton, the police have a strict procedure for handling cases.”
Cedric also stepped in to defend Glynnis at this time, “I am Miss Glynnis's lawyer, and my job is to ensure the protection of my client's legal interests to the fullest extent. I don't have the power to distort the truth.”
