His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 92

Chapter 92 Glynnis’s perfectly made-up face froze instantly, her mood suddenly tense. “Whoa, hold on, are we BFFs or something? You just came up and touched me, that’s not cool.” Jareth’s eyes were icy cold, and he slowly but forcefully pulled his arm back. “Mr. Jareth, I’m sorry, you’re Thaddeus’s close friend, and I just treated you like a brother, I really didn’t mean anything weird.” Glynnis was afraid Jareth would hate her and quickly explained herself. “You’re Thaddeus’s sister, not mine. Mind your manners next time.” Jareth answered coldly and turned to leave. He was wearing clothes that Ilana had given him, he cherished them so much that he barely washed them, let alone let unrelated people dirty them. Glynnis clenched her fists in frustration, nearly drawing blood from the pressure! Suddenly, Jareth stopped, one hand in his trouser pocket, squinting at Glynnis Glynnis quickly flashed a bright smile, her heart pounding in her chest! Sure enough, Jareth was a tough cookie with a soft center. How could he not care about her? He must care about her! “Man, I can’t understand girls’ fashion trends nowadays.” “What?” Glynnis was taken aback. “I’ve heard of lipstick, but tooth-stick? That’s something new.” Jareth laughed teasingly and walked away stylishly. Glynnis finally realized what he meant, so she hurriedly rushed to the bathroom and smiled at herself in the mirror to figure out what was wrong. Her normally white teeth were smeared with lipstick! “Argh!” Glynnis screamed in embarra**ment and annoyance, she felt like smashing the mirror. In the study. Jareth walked in and sat on the sofa, looking casual and rebellious. “Glynnis is like a female goon, always touching me without consent. What happened to the notion of women being dignified? If it were Ilana, she’d never do such shameful thing.”

Thaddeus was reviewing documents sent by Gordon and glanced coldly at Jareth. “What do you want?”

“I came to see how you are doing, man. To see if your cold is better,” Jareth squinted, took a cigarette from his pack, and put it in his mouth. “Feeling pretty smug, aren’t you, Jareth?” Thaddeus’s face darkened, gripping his pen tightly. “Eh, I’m okay, at least I can still get in the door, which is more than you can say,” Jareth nonchalantly blew a smoke ring. Thaddeus was choked by these words, frowning heavily. Indeed, as Ilana’s husband, he not only got drenched in the rain last night but also got slapped by her. It seemed that his situation was indeed worse than Jareth’s. The more Thaddeus thought about it, the more ridiculous and angrier he felt! Jareth snuffed out his cigarette in a crystal ashtray, stood up, walked over to Thaddeus, leaned his arms on the desk, and squinted at him. Thaddeus remained expressionless, meeting his oppressive gaze. “Thad, I’m going to win Ilana over, and I’m going to make her mine.” Jareth’s eyes were sparkling like a sharp blade as if he wanted to dissect Thaddeus and see what was so good about him! Thaddeus treated Ilana so poorly, left her alone for three years, and even forced her to divorce. Such a man could be a friend, but definitely he couldn’t be husband. He just couldn’t accept that! Thaddeus’s breathing suddenly became labored, and his fingers gripping the pen turned pale, “Don’t forget, Ilana is with Cas sius now.” “As long as she’s not with you, it’s fine.” Thaddeus felt a surge of blood, his breathing trembling. “Cas sius is single, Ilana is single, an unmarried man and a divorced woman together, what’s the problem?”

Jareth moved closer to Thaddeus and raised an eyebrow, “As for you, Mr. Hamiltion’s birthday is coming soon, you’re about to marry Acacia, and you’re getting soaked in the rain outside Ilana’s house in the middle of the night. What are you doing? Acting? You think you’re some kind of Casanova?” Thaddeus’s heart tightened, “I have my reasons for doing what I did last night.” “I don’t care what your reasons are, you’re a man with a fiancee, you shouldn’t be bothering Ilana anymore.” Jareth was blunt. “I won’t go there again,” Thaddeus took a deep breath, his eyes becoming icy, “But I want to remind you, if you really like her, you shouldn’t add to her troubles. The Ashbourne family all like her, they’re all looking forward to her marrying Cas sius. Your appearance might give her trouble in marrying into a wealthy family.” “Good Lord! The Ashbourne family is wealthy, but so is the Jareth family!” Jareth frowned, exasperated, “I’m telling you; Ilana can’t marry Cas sius!” “What did you say?” Thaddeus caught the implication in his words and immediately asked, “What makes you say that?” “I have my reasons for saying that. The relationship between her and Cas sius is definitely not what you imagine! I don’t think she likes Cas sius and she might just be using Cas sius to get back at you! If I were in her position, I’d also find a new lover to pi ss you off! I’d show you that I’m still a hot commodity after divorce, and there are still people pursuing me!” Jareth’s face involuntarily reddened, and he added, “More than one pursuer!” 1/2 16:45 Last night when he went home, Jareth’s mind was full of Ilana’s words. “Without Thaddeus, I won’t love anyone. Without Thaddeus, I won’t love again!” Why couldn’t she love anyone else, why couldn’t she?! But Jareth wouldn’t reveal that to Thaddeus. After all, this guy was smug enough, and he couldn’t let him ride high! Thaddeus’s heart gave a late jolt, a pain that couldn’t be ignored surged up.

Was that really true, Ilana? Would she rather sacrifice a lifetime of happiness just to get back at him? The hotel business was booming, occupancy rates were up by forty percentage points from before, and the restaurant was packed every day. The staff were all fired up, after all, Glynnis’s public apology last time gave them a big morale boost, making them feel like they were not just lowly workers, that if they were bullied, someone would stand up for them and fight for them. That kind of spirit, that kind of unity, how could they not succeed? Evadne sat leisurely in her office, looking at that month’s financial report, her heart full of joy. After all, only if the hotel did well could she get closer to the position of president. She had always been an ambitious person, once trapped in petty housework, at that point in life she was free again, she was naturally full of confidence and determination. “Ms, Ilana, President Ashbourne is here,” Jason grinned as he led Cas sius in. “Good morning, Cas sius!” Like a happy child, Evadne quickly ran to Cas sius and gave him a sweet hug. “How have you been? Are you tired?” Cas sius gently wrapped his arm around Evadne’s waist, as intimate as a lover. “Not tired. If I think this amount of work is tiring, how am I going to become president?” Evadne finished and covered her mouth with a wink, “Oh no, I didn’t mean that I want you to step down from your position. If you want to continue as president, I’d be happy to be your right hand, I have no other intentions!” “I’m just afraid you’ll change your mind,” Cas sius playfully pinched her nose, “I’m afraid you’ll suddenly want to travel the world, then I’ll have to postpone my retirement.” “No, I won’t,” Evadne pursed her lips with some guilt, “I was too immersed in my own thoughts before, only thinking about my own happiness, not considering your feelings. won’t do it again, I’m part of the Ashbourne family, so I should take on the responsibilities of the Ashbourne family, I can’t be capricious anymore.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

She had already paid for her stubbornness, it was too late to regret. Before she could finish speaking, Evadne’s phone rang on the table. “Hold on, I’ll take a call.” Evadne let go of Cas s ius’s hand and walked to the table to pick up her phone. It was Alva. She hesitated a bit before answering, “Hello, Alva.” “Mrs. Abernathy,” Alva called her with longing. “I divorced Mr. Thaddeus, you can just call me Ilana from now on,” Evadne gently corrected her and instructed her to remember it from next time. “I got used to calling you, I can’t change it, sorry Ms. Ilana.” “It’s okay, what’s up?” “I used the medicine you gave me on Mr. Thaddeus, it’s miraculous, and his headache is really gone! Mr. Thaddeus’s bruises have also faded a bit!” “Is that so? That’s good news,” Evadne didn’t really want to talk about Thaddeus, so she spoke softly, “Alva, I have something to do here, can I contact you later?” “Mrs. Abernathy!” Alva suddenly called her urgently, “Are you really believe that there’s no chance with Mr. Thaddeus anymore?!” Evadne calmly responded. “Yes.” “Since you left, the house has become a mess again. Except for me, Mr. Thaddeus has no one to care for him, he doesn’t listen when I advise him about his health.” “I used to advise him, but he didn’t listen either,” Evadne said softly, “You’ll have to work harder from now on.” “Also, no one is looking after Marilla.” Marilla. Evadne thought of the cute autistic girl, she was somewhat worried about her well-being. “Mr. Frederic is too busy, Elspeth totally doesn’t care, Glynnis has been bullying Marilla, and Marilla is all covered in injuries, all caused by Glynnis!”

Alva was almost crying as she continued, “Mr. Thaddeus is always busy with work and not at home, there’s no one in the house to protect Marilla! Although I feel sorry for the child, I’m just an employee in the Abernathy family, they’re the employers, what can I even say!” After listening, Evadne’s eyes immediately turned red, she couldn’t help but clench her fists tightly.
