His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 88

A few dozen minutes later.

Thaddeus pulled up outside Evadne's villa. He rolled down the window, looking at the warm lights inside; thinking about Jareth and Ilana inside, his heart felt as stuffed as cotton.

His forehead was furrowed, and his sweaty palm was holding a cell phone. On the screen was a picture of Ilana wearing a silky, sexy camisole nightgown, her graceful figure partially hidden and partially visible.

Back in the day, she would only wear those loose white cotton dresses, like a maternity dress, not at all showing off her figure. Now divorced, she has totally transformed into a sexy goddess, attracting men's attention everywhere and making them swoon!

Thaddeus' solid chest heaved as he looked down at the photo, loosening his meticulously tied tie.

...

Meanwhile.

Jareth watched Evadne devouring her food, his face turning green with envy. He was pampered by his mother since childhood. Jareth had his first sip of cola at fifteen and his first bite of fried chicken at eighteen.

Spaghetti Bolognese? Mexican burrito? Such commoner food could never enter Mr. Jareth's mouth.

"Aren't you eating? It won't taste good when it's cold," Evadne asked casually.

"I'm... I'm so happy, I don't know where to start..." Jareth fumbled with his cutlery, giving an awkward smile.

"It's just a plate of spaghetti. If you like it, I have a whole box of it. You can take it home when you leave."

"No, no, no!"

Jareth gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, ready to take some hardship for the sake of winning Ilana’s affection!

So, he forked some spaghetti, bulged his eyes, and took a big bite. Jareth felt spicy chilli go straight down his throat, making his eyes bloodshot and his tongue numb.

If he continued eating, he would suffer from unbearable pain! He glared at Jason, only to see him wearing an innocent smile, which revealed his mischief.

"Can't handle spicy food? You should have said earlier...it's quite hot, huh?" Evadne considerately poured a glass of water for Jareth. Just then, the doorbell rang.

"It's so lively tonight. Let me check." Jason went to the door and pressed the video call button. The moment Thaddeus' handsome face appeared on the screen, Jason's heart tightened, and he took a half step back.

"I'm looking for Ilana."

"Jason, who is it?"

At this moment, Evadne and Jareth, who was still coughing and red-faced, came out. Both were taken aback when they saw the man on the screen.

"Did you... Did you tell him?" Evadne reacted quickly, her sharp gaze stabbing into Jareth's face.

"Ilana... I didn't have a choice. Thaddeus threatened me!" Jareth's eyes were filled with tears, covering his chest, coughing, and still recovering. "He said...he said if I don't tell him where you live, he will cut off our friendship. And he also said..."

"What else did he say?" Evadne frowned.

"He also threatened...that he would not divorce you. As long as you two are not divorced, neither I nor Cassius can be with you."

Thaddeus was so shameless!

Evadne was so angry that her eyes were red, and her hands clenched into fists. She stormed over, pulled Jason behind her, and coldly said, "What right do you have to be at my doorstep? Leave immediately, or I'll call security!"

"Ilana, come out." Thaddeus' brow furrowed, his tone somewhat irritated.

Evadne sneered, "Who do you think you are? You ask me to come out, and I should?"

"Jareth, you come out," Thaddeus called out to Jareth directly, his eyes red.

"I'm not coming out." Jareth knew his brother's temper well and was somewhat afraid.

"Jareth!"

"Mr. Jareth is my guest. He came to give me a special gift. Since I've accepted his gift, I obviously won't ask him to leave."

Evadne's voice was deep. "Mr. Thaddeus, you are not welcome here. Please leave!"

Just as Thaddeus was about to say something, Evadne turned off the intercom. The screen went dark, but his angry eyes lingered before her. This man dared to threaten with divorce. He was shameless! Did he think a divorce certificate could control Evadne for a lifetime?
