Chapter 110

After the banquet, Hamiltion worried about Marilla’s health, so he called in his personal doctor to give

her a check-up. Only when he was sure she was okay did he finally relax.

In the corridor, two handsome men were leaning against the window sill.

Thaddeus handed a cigarette to Jareth, who lit it and took a deep puff.

The sparks flickered before him, surrounded by smoke.

“Ilana. Her real name is Evadne, the daughter of Emeric?”

Jareth felt like he was dreaming, this was just too unbelievable.

“Yes.” Thaddeus’ fingers quivered slightly as he flicked the ash off his cigarette.

“Holy sh it. Thad, you’ve hit the jackpot! How did such good luck land on you?” Jareth slapped him

heavily on the shoulder, his eyes glittering. “You’ve unknowingly become the son-in-law of Emeric.

What if you didn’t divorce llana? Oh no, Evadne? With the support of the Ashbourne family, wouldn’t

Frederic and that conniving Elspeth have to dance to your tune? Doesn’t the whole Abernathy family

have to listen to you?”

“Even without Evadne, the Abernathy family is under my control.” Thaddeus blew out a smoke ring,

glaring at him resentfully. “Do you think I’m the kind of man who relies on a woman to climb up?”

“No, you’re not that kind of person. You’re a workaholic, always busy working. I just think it’s a pity. If

you could use this opportunity, you could save ten years of struggle!” Jareth sighed.

Thaddeus extinguished his cigarette, feeling a void in his heart and a sense of regret, but not the same

as what Jareth was saying.

“I don’t understand why she married me in the first place.”

“Neither do I. You have a terrible temper, no sense of romance, have someone else in your heart, and

you’re bad in bed. She’d be better off marrying me.” Jareth said it bluntly.

“Jareth, do you think Emeric would fancy you? Are you worthy of Evadne?” Thaddeus’ eyes were deep,

filled with a desire to choke someone.

“At least, I wouldn’t be as petty as you, suspecting her every time she’s with another man. On this point

alone, I think I score higher in Miss Evadne’s eyes, right?”

Jareth couldn’t help but laugh. “You used to pick on her because she was close with Cas sius and said

so many ugly things; don’t you regret it now?”

“Why did she hide her identity from me? Why didn’t she tell me the truth?” Thaddeus was seething at

the thought.

“You’re divorced; telling you now won’t make a difference. Besides, if you had a shred of trust in her,

you wouldn’t have done what you did. That’s why I say you two wouldn’t have lasted even if you got

married, because you have no feelings for Ms. Evadne, no sense of responsibility, and no trust. She

put up with you for three years; I can only admire her endurance because I couldn’t stand you for a

day.”

Jareth suddenly became a relationship expert, delving deep into Thaddeus’ hidden inner world.

Thaddeus’ thin lips were tightly closed, and the veins on his clenched fists were popping.

Jareth lightly pinched his shoulder, his smile full of confidence. “Buddy, I’ve learned my lesson from

you. I won’t make the same mistakes. Whether she’s Ilana or Evadne, I’ll make sure to win her over.

Wish me luck!”

“Get lost.”

If looks could kill, Thaddeus would have killed Jareth by now.

“Okay, okay, we’re like enemies when we’re close and friends when we’re apart!” Jareth suddenly

stopped before leaving, his eyes full of curiosity. “You’re not just going to let tonight’s incident slide, are

you?”

“There’s something fishy about Elspeth and her daughter.” Thaddeus’ voice was deep, like a rumble of

thunder. “But even if I have evidence, this matter will be suppressed by Frederic because he doesn’t

want to air the family’s dirty laundry. I can only deal with them in other ways; teach them a lesson.”

“Lucky Miss Evadne is okay. If something happened, then the ones taken away by the police tonight

would be Elspeth and her daughter!” Jareth sucked in a cold breath.

The thought of it filled Thaddeus with rage. If anything happened to Evadne, he’d show no mercy!

A dangerous feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

“What about your fiancée? When Ms. Evadne was in trouble, she was the first to come forward and

describe the situation in detail in front of Chairman Emeric. Don’t you suspect her?”

Thaddeus’ brow was furrowed, a mix of frustration and doubt tormenting him.

He didn’t believe in coincidences.

But when it came to Acacia, he instinctively hoped that it really was just a coincidence.

“Mr. Thaddeus!” Gordon ran over panting, handing Thaddeus his phone with both hands. “Here is all

the surveillance of the movements of Elspeth, Miss Glynnis, and Ms. Acacia tonight that you asked me

to check. I’ve got it all sorted out; please have a look!”

“You’re really efficient!” Jareth decided to stick around a bit longer and came over to have a look as

well.

Thaddeus looked closely, his breath tense.

“The video shows that Ms. Acacia not only had frequent contact with Elspeth tonight but also had

private contact with Miss Glynnis. What’s more strange is,” Gordon’s expression darkened. “I’ve

checked the surveillance before and after Mr. Cas s ius and Ms. Evadne entered the room, Ms. Acacia

never appeared in the vicinity.”

“Huh, now isn’t that interesting.” Jareth smirked. “She never showed her face there. Where did she

hear about Mr. Cas sius and Ms. Evadne being together in the room?”

Thaddeus frowned deeply, shaken to his core.

Meanwhile, the Abernathy family had gathered in the front hall, including Acacia.

Glynnis was pale, claiming to be unwell, but in reality, she was frightened by the events of the evening.

Fortunately, Frederic supported her fully, and Elspeth turned a blind eye, which saved her from being a

suspect.

Glynnis was secretly glaring at Acacia, wishing she could scratch that innocent and hypocritical face of

hers!

“Wow, who would’ve thought? A con artist snuck into the Abernathy family.” Elspeth, sitting on the

couch with her arm around Glynnis, couldn’t help but get angry when she thought of Evadne’s antics

tonight.

“Right. She was Thaddeus’s wife for three years, yet she hid her true identity. It’s terrifying to think

about. Did she trick him into marrying her?” Acacia asked with feigned

concern.

“Hmph, you two keep calling Ms. Evadne a fraud. Why didn’t you put on a show for me on my

birthday?” Hamiltion shot them a sharp glance, snickering.

Elspeth and Acacia froze.

Just then, Thaddeus happened to walk by and heard Hamiltion’s comment.

“You all say Ms. Evadne is a scammer. So, what exactly did she swindle from you? Money? Shares?

Property? Ms. Evadne fulfilled her duties as a wife to Thaddeus, treated her elders with respect, was

polite to Glynnis, took great care of Marilla, and even left empty-handed after her divorce from

Thaddeus. So, tell me, what did she steal?”

Hamiltion, though old, was clear-minded and sharp-tongued.

“On the other hand, you’ve been bullying Ms. Evadne for the past three years. I may not live with you,

but I know what’s going on here!”

“We know what kind of person Ms. Evadne is. Elspeth is just worried.” Frederic tried to justify.

“I bet you only got wise after you found out she’s the heiress of the Ashbourne Group.” Hamiltion

leaned back, chuckling at Frederic’s awkward expression. “Too bad it’s too late for regrets. You let a

rich heiress slip away and chose to marry Thaddeus to a woman from a small family with legal issues.

Frederic, imagine how much your net worth would’ve increased if the Abernathy family had tied the

knot with the Ashbourne family. Would expanding your business empire still be a struggle? You lost big

time on this

one.”

Frederic gritted his teeth, his face turning red with embarra**ment.

Even Elspeth could see Frederic’s regret over the marriage, which made her seething with anger.

But Evadne’s status was too noble. She was Emeric’s only daughter from his first marriage, and the

Stirling family was nothing compared to the Ashbourne family. Acacia and Evadne weren’t even in the

same league.

He had really landed himself in hot water.

Just as Thaddeus was about to speak. Acacia angrily said, “Mr. Hamiltion. I know you’ve always looked

down on me and the Stirling family. But how can you measure love with money? So what if the

Ashbourne family is rich? Thaddeus and I truly love each other. We grew up together, and I was there

with him during his tough childhood years. Evadne can’t replace our love.”

Acacia nervously ran over to Thaddeus, anxiously tugging at his sleeve. “Thaddeus, can you say

something?”

Thaddeus lowered his head, looking at her with a coldness she’d never seen before.

He tried hard to recall their shared childhood but all he found was a blank space in his mind.

The cherished memories he kept in his heart started to blur and gradually fade until they turned into a

gray void.

In the end, the light in his eyes died out. His low voice was full of exhaustion and disappointment.

“Let’s put our wedding on hold for now.”
