His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 67

Two top-tier black cards, and two rich and handsome men who were household names in Elmsworth, were actually having a spat over a necklace!

Wow! This was some once-in-a-lifetime drama!

The attendant, stunned speechless by the black cards in front of him, managed to stutter out, "Gentlemen, there's only one of these necklaces in our store..."

"I know." Thaddeus' icy gaze left Evadne's beautiful face. "That's precisely why I want to buy it."

Acacia chuckled in triumph, waiting for the man to hand her the necklace.

Seeing Thaddeus' determined attitude, Evadne bit her lip lightly, her heart filled with bitterness. As expected, anything Acacia wanted, he wouldn't hesitate to get it for her.

Yet, he never cared about her preferences, her feelings.

"Ignore him, swipe my card, and wrap it up for me!" Jareth raised an eyebrow, tapping his finger on the glass counter. "Didn't you hear me say I wanted to buy it first?"

"Jareth." Thaddeus looked at him seriously.

Jareth met Thaddeus' gloomy face. "Thaddeus, you know what kind of person I am. There aren't many women I'd seriously want to gift something to. Considering we've known each other for nearly twenty years, can you let me have this one?"

Evadne's eyes widened, and she looked at Jareth in disbelief.

Acacia was even more shocked, her mouth agape! Ilana was such a bitch! Only a few days after leaving Thaddeus, she hooked up with this trust-fund baby. How could a divorced woman be so cherished by them?!

Thaddeus took a sharp breath. This was the first time Jareth had argued with him over a woman, even gambling their nearly twenty-year friendship. And this woman was his ex-wife, the woman he always claimed he didn't care about!

"Thank you, Jareth." Evadne suddenly spoke up, giving Jareth a faint smile. "I really like the necklace you gave me."

Jareth was captivated by her smile, his breath hitching. "No need to thank me, as long as you like it."

Thaddeus' eyes reddened, rage burning in his throat! She dared to accept Jareth's gift?! She dared to accept another man's gift in front of him?! How could she do this!

At that moment, Jareth had taken the necklace and walked behind Evadne, carefully fastening it around her neck.

Thaddeus' face turned white, his clenched fist feeling powerless.

"Wow... It's so beautiful..." The waiter exclaimed.

"Yeah, this necklace is really beautiful." Evadne gave a small smile.

"No, no! I mean, you're beautiful. Other people have tried on this necklace before, but none of them looked as good with it as you. Not only does it accentuate its beauty, but it doesn't steal your thunder either. It's perfect for you!"

Acacia's teeth gritted in anger. She shot Thaddeus a glare, but the man at her side had no reaction, no intention of trying to take back the necklace.

"Jareth, I need to get back to work. Let's go."

"Okay, let's go."

Evadne didn't pay any attention to Thaddeus, leaving with Jareth like a couple.

"Thaddeus, did you mean to give me that necklace?! How could it end up in Ilana's hands?" Acacia asked anxiously.

Thaddeus frowned and quickly followed. "Ilana!"

Evadne stopped in her tracks, looking back at him coldly. "What else do you want, Mr. Thaddeus? You're not trying to take back the necklace, are you?"

Thaddeus seemed to be stabbed by her sharp gaze, his lips tightly closed. He took out a black velvet box from his suit pocket and handed it to her.

Evadne hesitated. "What's this?"

"A diamond bracelet. The one my grandfather gave you broke, so this is a replacement." Thaddeus' voice was cold, but he didn't say the words "for you" that he really wanted to say.

He knew how much she had hoped for him to give her a gift, but he had deliberately made it difficult for her, never fulfilling her wish. He didn't want to make things easy for her.

"Hmph, I don't need it. My grandfather said he would replace it for me." Evadne scoffed. "Mr. Thaddeus, you better take it back. If your fiancée sees it, she might misunderstand. I don't want to take the blame for that."

"Why do you accept Jareth's gift but not mine?" Thaddeus' eyes reddened, asking urgently.

"Maybe because accepting your gift makes me feel disgusted." Evadne left him with those harsh words and walked away.

"Thaddeus, I'll come see you tonight!" After leaving him with those words, Jareth hurriedly followed after the departing woman.

Thaddeus felt a sharp pain in his chest, his body going numb, his mind filled with Evadne's cold words.
