His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 606

Chapter 605 

Glynnis’s eyes spun wildly as she staggered to her feet, dusting herself off indignantly. “You’re coming back? When will that be? Are you planning to come back just to get even with Jareth?” 

Edith clenched her teeth with venomous anger. “He made my life a misery, how could I possibly let him have his way? From the moment he slapped me, not once but thrice, in front of Evadne, Thaddeus, and the entire Elmsworth elite at the gala, there was no longer any brother–sister bond between us, only bitter enemies!” 

“Exactly! Jareth’s gone too farl He hasn’t even put a ring on Marilla’s finger yet, and he’s already ditched his own sister and disowned his mother! If those two tie the knot, do you think you and your mom will have any standing left?” Glynnis sniffled, her words laced with malice as she backstabbed Marilla, stoking the embers of conflict 

“Hmph, don’t pretend you’re looking out for me. All this enthusiastic plotting isn’t it just because you want me to return and wield my influence to settle your scores?” 

Edith saw right through Glynnis’s sordid intentions and laughed coldly “Without your mom to back you, what fighting power do you have left? All you can do is watch your dimwit sister marry into wealth and lord it over you” 

The memory of her collection being plundered by Jareth, now soon to be Marilla’s, made Glynnis shiver with rage. She was supposed to be the Abernathy family’s cherished eldest daughter, the apple of her parents eyes). 

How had she fallen from grace to let that simpleton sister surpass her? 

“No way Marilla cannot marry Jareth, absolutely not” Glynnis’s eyes burned with hatred 

“Of course, I feel the same. But you know what Jareth is like, he’ll never give up on that simpleton. We’ll need a meticulous plan to make him give up on her for good 

Edith’s smile was sinister “think it’s time for us to collaborate again. You must have had an epiphany about your mother’s situation by now, right? Pinning all your hopes on someone else is futile. Your own revenge must be sought by your own hands that’s the real satisfaction 

Glynnis understood the subtext all too well Edith wanted her as an additional safeguard someone to drag down with her 

But Glynnis was consumed by hatred, 

If it meant bringing Jareth and Marilla down, she was willing to do anything, even stoop to the lowest!: 

“Ha. All y 

I your talk here is pointless. Let’s wait until you’re back to discuss further 

Thaddeus and Jareth emerged from the grand Windermere Estate, their luxury cars parked side by side outside the gates 

This wasn’t Jareth’s home, but it seemed Thaddeus no longer considered it his either 

“If Marilla liked those trinkets, you s should have just told me I could’ve sourced them for her, as many as she wanted 

Thaddeus’s long lashes cast down as he eyed the hefty bag in Jareth’s hands. “Why bother giving my sister Elspeth’s old things? It’s downright unlucky” 

“We can’t just leave them for that brute of a hen to get her hands on. I’d rather smash them than let her have them!” 

Jareth’s eyes sparkled mischievously. “I get a kick out of imagining Glynnis wielding a hammer, her face the color of liver, in utter humiliation! The frustration of missing out must be driving her nuts, eh?” 

Thaddeus couldn’t help but smile, despite his brother’s outrageous antics. 

“Actually, Marilla doesn’t care much for these things.” 

Jareth’s eyes softened as he sighed. “After she said her final goodbye to Elspeth, she’s been feeling down, even guilty towards you So, I suggested we take Elspeth’s intended gifts for Marilla and sell them to donate to the charity you’re establishing in your mother’s name. It might not be much, but it’s the thought that counts. Hopefully, it’ll ease Manilla’s conscience a bit.” 

– 

Thaddeus felt a sudden tightness in his chest. This was exactly what he feared that Marilla’s goodness would lead her to feel guilty about his mother’s pain, potentially straining their sibling bond. 

The feud between my mother and Elspeth is over, and Marilla wasn’t even conceived when Elspeth entered the Abernathy family. She’s got nothing to do with it.” 

Thaddeus, his heart aching with empathy, patted Jareth’s shoulder. “Find some time to bring Marilla over to our place. Let Evadne comfort her, she’s always been persuasive with Evadne. And it just so happens, I’ve been perfecting a few new recipes. You two can bask in Evadne’s glow and sample my culinary attempts.” 

Jareth’s face had gone the color of wilted lettuce. “Are you inviting us over for dinner, or to be your guinea pigs?”

After some comding, Murtay spilled the beans. 

Turns out, Hamilton had been under the weather for a fule sleeping poly, hantly touching his meals. The family doctor was his bedside daily, but to no avail. He chalked it up to old age and indigestion recommending a duet of traditional remedies 

Hamilton had kept it from the kids, not wanting them to worry 

On the drive, Evarine’s face was as pale The moonlight, ber anxiety palpable 

“Don’t fret, I vadne, Thaddeus said, his hand finding the small of her back, then gently but firmly pulling her into an embrace “The doc 1 hired for Grandpa is top notch.

“Why wouldn’t I? As long as I’m with you, as long as it’s for Grandpa’s best, I’m all in Thaddeus said, a smile playing on his lips. 

“I just feel so guilty” 

She wrapped her arms around Thaddeus’s neck, her face buried in his shoulder, her voice muffled and soft. “Frank said Grandpa’s been feeling rough for a bit now and I hadn’t noticed. Last time at the cemetery he even tried to stand up from his wheelchair. It kills me to think about it, how could have been so careless?” 

“It’s not on you, Evadne, you’ve done plenty Thaddeus soothed, his voice a gentle caress. “We’ll just be more attentive from now on Grandpa wouldn’t want you carrying this burden. If he knew, he’d never hear the end of it.” 

Thaddeus sighed internally. He thought, “The kindest girls in the world–had Jareth and I scooped them both up? Luck was truly smiling on us“
