His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 34

Evadne's pupils contracted fiercely, her chest felt tight with tension.

She locked eyes with Thaddeus. Her usually beautiful eyes were now burning with fury, enough to have made anyone's heart skip a beat. It was intense enough that Thaddeus could hardly look away.

After a while, Evadne laughed, her gaze icy as if they'd never met. "So, Mr. Thaddeus, you're here to vent for your Acacia, huh? You're so pissed off. Are you planning to unload it on me, or are you gonna blow up?

“Thaddeus, you've crossed the line. Three years of love, I don't expect you to remember the good times, but you shouldn't belittle me with such insulting words. Besides, I'm not your wife anymore. No, you never actually made me your wife. I was like a stray cat, waiting for you to take me home. I had high hopes, but all I got in return was your cold rejection.

“Am I supposed to endure your heartless trampling? No way!

“Unfortunately for you, even though you've got the upper hand, you might not be able to solve the predicament the Stirling Group is in. Because of Ives' crimes, including infringing the K Group's interests, bribery, forgery, and defamation, there's concrete evidence. Saving him is a lost cause."

Evadne's gaze sharpened, but her smile was enchanting. "You can't turn the situation around, so you can mess with my personal life, and continue mocking and humiliating me. And I'm not gonna play by your rules. I fight for what I want and let go, without hesitation, of what I don't.

“I don't care what others think of me, even you. I want the Stirling Group to go bankrupt, to pay for their actions, and I'll stop at nothing. No one can stop me!"

Thaddeus tensed under his suit, his veins bulging. With someone by her side, she was standing tall and speaking boldly! He knew she was wrong but didn't know how to refute.

He was angry not because she used the Ashbourne group brothers to punish the Stirling Group. It was seeing her laughing with Arnold, and her smile blooming like a flower, that set his mind spinning.

"You shameless!" Thaddeus' breath hitched, and he spat out the words.

Evadne laughed carelessly, a sting to his eyes. "Even if I am shameless, what's it to you? I'm free to do what I want, and you have no right to blame me." There was no need for further conversation, so she coldly turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Thaddeus grabbed her just-healed arm unwillingly, his grip startlingly strong.

"Ouch...let me go!" Evadne winced in pain but didn't dare struggle, afraid of tearing the wound.

"Ilana, you know what role I play in your heart." Thaddeus' voice was hoarse, his eyes filled with intense probing. It was as if they were gamblers at a casino, his desire to win making him think hard, and trying to see through her cards.

Evadne laughed in anger. "What else could you be, a good-for-nothing ex-husband!"

"Ilana!" Thaddeus' eyes filled with rage.

"Thaddeus! Let go of me!"

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in front of Evadne, forcefully pushing Thaddeus away, and shielding her behind him.

"Jason, I'm fine, he was just talking to me," Evadne reassured Jason, showing no fear.
