His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Evadne felt as if she was so pi ssed off that she couldn’t even breathe. Grandpa’s keepsake, her favorite thing, was destroyed so easily by Acacia! In a split second, anger surged in her heart like a flood. She wished she could break Acacia’s bones inch by inch, just like this bracelet! “Acacia!” Evadne’s eyes were red as she yelled at her. Acacia was taken aback, but soon a vicious thought surged in her heart: Ilana, so what if I broke the bracelet? It’s just you and me here. If I said you were trying to harm me. who do you think Thad would believe? Acacia sneered, picked up the remnants of the bracelet from the washbasin, and extended her wrist. Evadne immediately realized what she was doing and tried to stop her, but it was too late. “Ugh!!” She watched as Acacia cut her wrist with the sharp part of the bracelet. Perhaps it was her first time doing such a thing, and although she avoided the arteries, she cut it quite deep, and blood dripped down. Even Acacia was scared by what she did, but she knew that since she decided to put on a show, she had to go all the way. Otherwise, this injury would be for nothing. So she cried and screamed as she ran out of the bathroom. Evadne stood there for a moment, then picked up the remnants of the bracelet, her eyes red. Just as she left the bathroom, the door of the innermost stall was quietly pushed open a cr ack. Acacia ran down the hallway with her bleeding wrist, crying out in pain. She looked like she was running wild. The auction had ended at this point, and guests were leaving the venue one after another. Seeing this dramatic scene, many didn’t stop to watch the commotion but instinctively backed away, thinking this woman was mad. *Thad, Mom, Auntie. Save me!” Acacia trembled as she spoke incoherently;

Sure enough, she became the center of attention. This was exactly what she wanted: Ilana, if you dare to sow discord, I’ll make sure you fall from grace. In Thad’s eyes, you’re just a jealous bi tch! Elspeth, Una, and Glynnis rushed over. All three women looked panicked, like chickens being scared. “Acacia! My precious baby! What happened to your hand? Who did this to you?” Una’s face was filled with worry and fear. Her performance was very natural.

Because she knew as soon as Acacia and Ilana left the venue that her daughter was going to deal with that bit ch, she immediately reacted and cooperated with Acacia. However, she remembered that her daughter was very afraid of pain. When she was a child, she would cry endlessly just from getting a shot. But this time she dared to harm herself. She’s really becoming more and more like a young Elspeth. Back then, Elspeth used this method of playing the innocent and self-harming to successfully capture Frederic’s heart, snat ching the position of the CEO’s wife, which should have been Thaddeus’s mother, causing Frederic to be completely disappointed in Thaddeus’s mother. The path Acacia was taking was the same as the one Elspeth took before. She’s almost succeeded. At this critical moment, there can’t be any new problems. Ilana, this troublemaker, must be completely defeated! Seeing people around her started to record with their phones, Acacia cried even harder, perfectly playing the role of a victim. At this moment, Evadne walked towards them expressionlessly, shining like a beacon in the chaotic night. She was unbelievably beautiful. A layer of frost spread on her beautiful face, making everyone hold their breath. She had a sense of justice. Coincidentally, Thaddeus and Jareth, two handsome and tall men, were also walking towards them. “Thad.” Acacia cast a pitiful look at Thaddeus. Thaddeus saw the horrific wound on her wrist, immediately furrowed his brows, and quickly walked over to her. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Una’s lips curled up slightly as she pushed Acacia hard, directly pushing her into Thaddeus’s arms. “How did you get hurt like this?” Thaddeus asked anxiously. “Thad. My wrist hurts so much. Am I going to die?” Acacia cried in the man’s arms, looking like a frightened bird. “You won’t. Don’t scare yourself.” Thaddeus lowered his head and looked at the horrific wound on her wrist, frowning. Evadne watched coldly from the side and couldn’t help but laugh. A great drama was about to unfold. There were already people stealthily recording with their phones. Jareth reacted quickly and immediately sent his bodyguards to disperse the crowd. “Acacia, Thaddeus is here to protect you now so no one dares to harm you!” Elspeth asked anxiously, “Acacia, how did you hurt your hand? Tell me!” “Yes. Acacia, you don’t have to be afraid. Tell us who bullied you; we won’t let them go!” Glynnis was also adding fuel to the fire. “I ran into Ms. Ilana in the bathroom.” Acacia panted weakly in Thaddeus’s arms, looking at Evadne with hatred in her eyes. “I know Ms. Ilana doesn’t like me so I took the initiative to greet her, hoping to reconcile with her. But Ms. Ilana didn’t accept my goodwill, and we started to argue.” Evadne crossed her arms and sneered. Thaddeus saw her laughing and felt displeased. “I wanted to leave later, but Ms. Ilana wouldn’t let me go. I was anxious, and I accidentally broke the bracelet on her hand. Ms. Ilana got angry because the bracelet was broken. No matter how much I apologized, she didn’t accept it, so she.” Acacia stopped talking, letting everyone imagine what happened next. Evadne laughed even harder. She was about to applaud Acacia for her acting skills. “So, did Ms. Ilana give you this wound? How could it?”

Elspeth covered her mouth, looking unbelieving. In fact, she was just trying to disrupt the harmonious atmosphere. “What? You dared to hurt my daughter?” Una was fit to be tied. She pointed at Evadne’s face and blurted out, “You’re such a heartless person! Can’t you just talk things out? Why do you have to resort to violence? My daughter’s hands are the hands of an artist! She’s won countless piano awards! To her, the piano is life! If she can’t play the piano because of you, it won’t matter if you’re part of the Ashbourne family or some other high society; we will not let you off the h ook!” Una’s words left Evadne choked up, breaking down her defenses. She remembered her pinky that could no longer play beautiful melodies on the piano due to Thaddeus, and she took a deep breath. They angrily sought her out for accountability but who should she seek out? “Hold up! That’s not how it went!” Seeing Evadne under attack, Jareth hurriedly stepped forward to try to help her out. “Even if Ms. Acacia feels wronged and pitiful, that’s just one side of the story. We should also hear what Ms. Ilana has to say. The bathroom isn’t monitored, but there might have been others present. We can ask them to confront the situation, and then we’ll know the truth.” Seeing Jareth, Glynnis was completely smitten, her mouth agape as if her soul had left her body. Evadne paused for a moment, finally lifting her eyes and gently glancing at Jareth. 1 Just that one glance made Jareth’s heart bloom with joy, and he felt a surge of happiness. Their silent exchange of glances, in Thaddeus’ eyes, was evidence of their mutual flirtation. He didn’t show any emotion, but his fingers clenched tight. “There were no witnesses so it was just the two of us in the bathroom.” Evadne said it languidly. “Um.” Jareth frowned, looking a bit troubled. “Who else could it be? My daughter would never hurt herself! Acacia has always been very afraid of

pain!” Una cried out in anger. Acacia sobbed in Thaddeus’ arms, feeling secretly relieved. “Ilana.” Thaddeus lowered his voice and asked coldly, “So, did you do this?” Evadne’s heart sank and she clenched her fists tightly, holding back the urge to cry from the feeling of being wronged. Jareth wordlessly put his hand on his forehead, thinking that Thaddeus was better off not saying anything at all if he was going to be like this. Thaddeus saw the redness forming around Evadne’s eyes and felt a pang in his heart. He felt like he might have been too harsh. It’s not that he didn’t know right from wrong, but the necklace auction matter had deeply humiliated him, and he had some personal grudges against Ilana. So, his attitude had involuntarily become cold and hard. Evadne took a deep breath and smiled slightly, her smile radiant. “I did it, so what? You want to take revenge?”
