His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 177

In three days, Ada and her team were about to hit Elmsworth.

However, Jason got a disturbing piece of news from his agent today: Ada had decided to attend the

welcome party hosted by the Abernathy Group at

the last minute!

In the entertainment room of the K Orld Hotel.

When Jason fumed to Evadne about this, she was leisurely playing pool with Aaron.

They were taking turns, sinking balls into pockets like it was a competition…

“Ms. Evadne! We’re screwed!” Jason blurted out in a rush.

“Shush, it’s match point!”

Evadne lifted one slender finger to her lips, signaling him to keep his volume down.

This game determined the dinner for the night. It was a big deal, and there was no room for sloppiness!

But Jason was on the edge of his nerves, yet he didn’t dare to rush her!

He couldn’t interrupt Ms. Evadne’s playtime!

With the last two balls, Evadne accurately shot and smoothly won the game, full of confidence.

“Yay!” Evadne made a victory sign, clearly delighted.

Aaron sat next to the pool table, smiling at his sister, not minding losing to her in the least.

“Evadne, your pool skills are getting better.”

Evadne leaned elegantly against the cue stick, and playfully stuck out her tongue, “It’s all thanks to

your teaching.”

She was wearing a red satin long dress today. Having just finished the game, the red strap on her

shoulder silently slipped down, revealing a radiant, bare shoulder that was stunningly attractive.

Upon seeing this, Jason felt a rush of heat in his chest, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.

Aaron noticed Jason’s gaze, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

He walked over to Evadne, casually fixing her slipping strap, and coughed lightly, “Even when having

fun, you should be careful. It’s fine when I’m here, but you can’t be so careless when other men are

around.”

After saying this, he shot a deep glance at Jason.

He had been a policeman for many years, and his gaze was naturally sharp.

TH.

Under his gaze, Jason felt a chill run down his spine, as if all his thoughts were laid bare.

He quickly averted his gaze.

“I got it, Aaron. Jason is not an outsider, and I didn’t expose anything, you’re making a fuss over

nothing.” Evadne responded in a sweet voice.

Aaron raised an eyebrow, softened by her intimate way of calling him, and didn’t have the heart to

scold her any further.

“Jason, what’s the matter?” Evadne turned her head to pick up a gla** of red wine, leaning against the

pool table as she savored it, her gaze full of

laziness.

“Ms. Evadne, Ada has finally decided to attend the welcome party hosted by the Abernathy Group! She

stood us up!” Jason said, dry-mouthed.

Evadne took a sip of her red wine, “Hmm, good.”

“Good? Thaddeus stole our guest, and you think it’s good?” Jason’s clear eyes widened in shock.

“Let me guess. I’m sure that in the next three days, the Abernathy Group will send invitations to all the

important people, and they will heavily promote this event. After all, this is the first time an international

superstar is coming to Elmsworth, and they choose to stay at the Abernathy Hotel. It’s like a free

advertisement. It can attract a lot of attention, and it also proves that the Abernathy Hotel’s status in

Elmsworth and even nationwide is unmatchable.. Whether it’s the president of a superstar, they will

choose to stay here when they come to Elmsworth,” Evadne’s eyes were sparkling as she swirled the

red wine in her hand.

“So, Ada choosing the Abernathy Group is a huge loss for us.”

“How boring it would be if everything went smoothly.”

Evadne’s lips were redder than the wine in her hand, “I love challenges, I love turning the tables. It’s

more thrilling.”

Jason’s heart raced, Evadne was smiling like a fox, stunningly beautiful.

“Evadne, it seems you already have a plan, right?” Aaron asked with a smile.

Evadne nodded, “Jason, prepare the dinner as usual.”

“What? Still preparing? The main guest won’t be there, what’s the point of our preparation?” Jason felt

that they had already lost to Thaddeus this time, and he was a bit down.

Evadne’s eyes sparkled with a mysterious smile, “Who said it’s pointless? It’s not yet decided who will

win and who will lose.”

Outside the K Orld Hotel.

On the roadside, Gordon was hiding in a black Porsche, ordered to monitor every move of Evadne.

Almost falling asleep from the wait, he finally saw Jason coming out of the hotel, looking really down.

Gordon had suffered quite a bit from the president these days, so seeing Evadne’s secretary with the

same expression, he suddenly felt very satisfied!

They must have known that Mr. Thaddeus had already managed to invite Ada first.

A few seconds later, Evadne walked out of the main entrance.

Jason, Mrs. Abernathy. Huh? Who was that guy?

Gordon picked up his binoculars, rubbed his eyes and tried to look closer.

It really was a guy!

“Let’s go. I’ll take you for a barbecue!” Aaron casually slung an arm around Evadne’s shoulders.

“Then I want more meat!” Evadne licked her lips.

“Evadne, when did you start eating so much?”

“Haven’t I always been a big eater? Oh, don’t forget to prepare garlic for me. Barbecue without garlic is

missing half the flavor!”

“If there’s no booze on a Friday, then life is boring! Let’s go!”

The siblings chatted as they got into the car, shoulders touching.

Gordon swallowed nervously, he didn’t know how he managed to put down his binoculars.

The only thought in his mind was, “I’m screwed!”

He bit his lip and frantically took pictures, then tremblingly sent a message to his boss.

[Mr. Thaddeus! Bad news! Mrs. Abernathy has a new boyfriend! This one looks like a hottie!]

Thaddeus was zoning out in his office, mindlessly clicking through pictures on his computer screen.

The star of these photos was none other than the lovely Evadne, her eyes captivating and bright.

These were shots taken by Gordon while tailing Evadne, initially to gather information. But Evadne was

a hard nut to cr ack, and all he could capture were scenes from her day-to-day life.

Thaddeus was practically drinking in these photos, like if he looked just hard enough, she might come

to life. If these were physical photos, he’d probably have stared holes right through them by now.

Just then, his phone buzzed on his desk again and again.

Snapping back to reality, Thaddeus picked up his phone. His heart pounded in his chest as he sprung

up from his chair, grabbed his jacket and bolted from the office.

At the barbecue joint.

It had been ages since Evadne last saw Aaron, and they had a lot to catch up on.

After a few drinks, Evadne’s gaze grew hazy. She leaned in toward Aaron and asked, “So, when are

you gonna h ook me up with a sister-in-law?”

“Man, not you too. First Mom and now you, I can’t catch a break. My job is tough and dangerous

enough as it is, why would I want to marry someone in the same line of work? At least one of us should

lead a chill life,” Aaron said casually, pouring out Evadne’s drink and replacing it with bottled water.

“What’s the deal with the men in the Ashbourne family? You’re all getting up there in age, yet no one’s

settling down. No sister-in-law to spoil me, no little nephews or nieces to play with. It’s a bummer!”

Evadne pouted, clearly unimpressed.

“Aren’t you spoiled enough with all your brothers doting on you? Are you sure you want to share us

with sister-in-laws?”
