His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 209

In the dim light, their intertwined shadows flickered back and forth.

Marilla’s slender frame trembled slightly within his embrace, her innocence proving irresistible to the

Leveraging the courage from his drink, he became bolder.

Suddenly, Marilla’s vision blurred as Jareth’s towering figure pressed down on her

Her petite body sank deep into the couch. She was helpless as a caged canary Jareth’s breath hitched,

yet his domineering lips never left here, twining, tasting

At that moment, the reductive voice of the female einger on stage echoed softly. Marilla, dizzied by

A flame kindled in Jarethe lower abdomen. His eyes darkened with desire and he was like a starving

Despite being drunk, he felt a voice in his head keep reminding him she was his best friend’s sister.

Friends wives were off-limits, and so were their sisters!

Just when he was about to lose control, he reluctantly left her soft lips, a thin string of saliva connecting

them. Marilia’s gaze was unfocused. She was unable to think, let alone speak.

This kiss intoxicated her

f you say

Twanted to verify if your scientific theory is true” Jareth squinted his intoxicated eyes, wiping away the

saliva on her lips with his finger “Didn’t y women are inherently lustful?”

“You took advantage of me

“And you did you confirm it? Do you think I’m made of clay or water?”

Suddenly. Marilia felt an overwhelming sleepiness envelop her

Jareth kissed her forehead gently, whispering in her ear, “Sleep, tell me your answer tomorrow”

The once lively Marilia was now on the verge of sleep.

She faintly heard the enchanting song lingering around her

Bang

Edith fuming with anger, kicked open the door of the private room

The sight startled the disheveled men inside, their faces turning pale, while the women screamed and

hid behind their partners.

“Who the hell are you?” One of the men pointed at Edith and demanded.

Jareth had always protected his sister well, and she had spent most of her childhood abroad, so few

people in Elmsworth recognized her. Edith already furious, stormed over to the coffee table, picked up

an empty wine bottle, and smashed it on the maris head!

Crash!

The bottle shattered, the women screamed, and the men were dumbfounded!

“1m your mother Edith glared at them, her eyes bloodshot, her presence menacing.

“Where did this brat come from? Have you lost your mind?”

Two others stood up to defend their friend.

this fuss about? What are you planning to do to my baby sister?”

Jareth, cradling the sleeping Manila, strolled in from the balcony

Baby sister?

The two who hạt stood up exchanged glances and sat back down

The one who was hit blood trickling down his hair, laughed awkwardly.

vitu Ms. Edith, my apologies?”

“Jareth! What are you trying to do? beeing Janeth holding Manila, Edithis eyes widened with anger

“Edith, what are you trying to do? Jareth furrowed his brows, sternly questioning hay

“Hey you dare question me is it because I messed up your plan? Did I run your fun?” Ediths eyes were

bloodshot with anger

He disrespected you Smashing a bottle on his head was justified”

The three men were too stunned to react, not daring to utter a word ex with blood streaming down their

“But what have I told you? Didn’t I tell you to stay away from Sapphire Nights Club? if you must visit,

you need to inform me in advance, so I can arrange things for you”

Jareth looked serious, assuming the role of a responsible elder brother, “Why can’t you obey? Why

can’t you make things easier for me? This place 15 chaotic. What if something happened to you before

I could protect you?

“Stop pretending to care about me, Jareth

Edith placed a hand on her hip, pointing accusingly at him, “Admit it, you’re just angry because I ruined

your fun! Marilla is Thad’s sister, and you dare to mess around with her behind Thad’s back! Jareth,

you’re shameless!”

“Edith.” His eyes darkened instantly.

Edith felt a shiver down her spine and took a half-step back.

He had never called her by her full name since childhood, it was apparent he was truly angry now.

“Get out of here and go home!” Jareth took a deep breath, harshly dismissing her.

“I can go home, but you have to come with me!”

He looked down at Marilla, who was fast asleep in his arms, “I’m not going home tonight. You go home

now, stop making a scene”

“What are you going to do?” Edith’s voice was high-pitched, making people around wince.

“Lily!”

Jareth didn’t bother arguing with her. He called out loudly.

I’m here, Mr. Jareth Lily hurried in.

“Escort Edith out and personally see her home.”

“Yes.”

As Jareth’s secretary and personal bodyguard, Lily only obeyed him.

So, when dealing with Ms. Edith, she showed no mercy, directly grabbing Edith’s arm and began to

drag her out.

“Ahh! Don’t touch me! Get your hands off me! You’re hurting me, you know?! Get off!”

However, it was all in vain.

Edith didn’t know what kind of beast Jareth had trained. Lily’s grip was as strong as handcuffs, and she

couldn’t escape.

In the end, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Edith was dragged out.

Late at night, Evadne luxuriously applied her face mask, lit her homemade rose aroma candle, and lay

in a bathtub full of rose petals, rejuvenating her tired body.

“Mmm, so nice.” She wiggled her toes, her almond eyes half-closed in satisfaction

A man or a bathtub, one had to choose, right?

The ringtone of Evadne’s phone filled the room, jarring the silence. It was her PA, Jason, on the line.

Her assistant, Lucy, hadn’t returned home with her tonight. Instead, she was working late at the office,

taking care of the little odds and ends to lighten Evadne’s workload for the following day.

*Jason, you can push it to tomorrow if it’s too much. You should head home and get some rest, Evadne

said, putting the call on speakerphone. Her slender hand was gently stirring the rose petals that floated

on the water’s surface.

“Ms. Evadne, there’s something. I just witnessed something I think I should let you know about,” Jason

hesitated, his voice laced with concern. “But you have to promise me that you’ll keep your cool.”

Evadne snorted, “Jason, what haven’t I seen before? Spit it out.”

Jason took a deep breath, “I just saw Jareth with Marilla, the daughter of the Abernathy family. They

checked into the hotel together” Splash!

Like a carp leaping out of water, Evadne sat bolt upright, “What did you just say? Who checked in

together?”

“Jareth and Marilla, Jason repeated, “Jareth handled the check-in himself, I couldn’t have seen it

wrong.”

Evadne took a sharp breath, her heart pounding in her chest.

The next moment, the spacious bathroom echoed with her furious roar. It was a sound that could shake

the heavens and shatter the earth!

“Bastard! Where’s my gun? I’ll make sure that shameless beast Jareth pays for this!”
