His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 130

Chapter 130 Jareth asked Thaddeus to meet him at a swanky new karaoke joint in Elmsworth. In the VIP box, Jareth ordered a spread of luxury booze and belted out a series of sappy love songs. Thaddeus perched on a maroon velvet couch. Nursing a gla** of whiskey, he exuded an air of nobility and aloofness, as if his seat was some kind of throne. Under the red lights, he blended into the dark surroundings but still commanded a strong presence. Thaddeus’s face twisted in displeasure, his hand gripping the gla** so tight it might shatter. Just how deep did their friendship run for him to sit through this auditory torture? After Jareth finished singing a song, Thaddeus took a stiff sip of his whiskey. Jareth let out a belch, sauntered over to Thaddeus and tried to sling an arm around his shoulder. “How was that? Still got it, don’t I?” Thaddeus frowned and sidestepped quickly, and Jareth stumbled onto the couch. “Spectacular. You sing like a donkey braying.” “Oh, you’re such a gasbag.” Thinking of Evadne’s harsh words and the sting of her slap, Jareth was hit with a wave of sadness. “Everyone’s talking about Evadne divorcing you, and with your harsh words, living with you must be like going through menopause early! I admit Evadne was the most unique woman I’ve ever met, and I totally messed up. I couldn’t hold onto her.” Jareth took a swig of his drink and slammed the bottle down on the table. “I just don’t get it. What’s so great about you that Evadne would rather hide her true identity and play housewife for three years? You treated her like cr ap, and yet she still put up with all your bulls hit. In the end, you’re the one who kicked her to the curb.” “Jareth, are you done?” Thaddeus’s gaze darkened, his fingers tightening around the gla**. “Of course not!” Jareth’s eyes were bloodshot, his heart filled with anger and resentment. He let it all out with the liquid courage. “I don’t understand! I really don’t! Unless you two knew each other five hundred years ago and this life is a reunion, I just don’t understand why she would put up with so much

for you!” Not only Jareth, even Thaddeus didn’t understand that.

So that day, at the Windermere Estate, he tried to stop her to get some answers. The mystery had become a disease in his heart. Since the night he found out her true identity at his grandfather’s birthday party, he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep. Thaddeus felt a dryness in his throat, and in his daze, Jareth suddenly laughed bitterly. “Thaddeus, I admit I was a pla yboy in the past. I’ve done a lot of irresponsible things, but this time, I’m serious about Evadne. I always wonder, why couldn’t I meet her earlier?” Thaddeus looked down, staying silent. “If I had met her earlier, I would’ve told her not to get close to Thaddeus. That would only bring her misery.” Thaddeus’s gaze hardened instantly, and he felt a strong urge to strangle Jareth. When Nydia saw Evadne, her unhappiness instantly disappeared, and she decided to treat Evadne to a meal. Evadne couldn’t refuse her, so she chose a Japanese restaurant, ordering the cheapest dishes to save money. Although the food was mediocre, the two girls chatted happily, frequently toasting each other. Jason was constantly refilling their drinks, and by the end of the meal, there were hardly any dishes left. When Jason saw the two girls so happy, his suppressed mood also lightened up significantly. After a few drinks, the two girls decided to continue their fun at a karaoke bar. Jason was planning to join them, but as soon as they reached the entrance of the karaoke bar, he received a call from his brother saying their mother was having heart problems and he needed to go home immediately. “Jason, you should go. Don’t worry about us.” Evadne said understandingly, urging him to leave. “Yes, Jason. You should go.” Nydia looked at Jason’s worried face and said softly, “You’ve had a long day. Go home, check on your mom, and get some rest. Evadne and I will sing a bit and then go home.”

“I’m sorry, Nydia, Evadne. I can’t stay with you guys.” Jason said apologetically, “I need to go now, but if anything happens, contact me immediately. I’ll be right there!” “Alright, alright, we get it. You’re even more nagging than my mom. Go on.” Evadne said, giving him a light push. He gave her a long look, then turned and left. Nydia watched their interaction, her heart aching, but she didn’t resent Evadne at all. Because she thought Evadne was the most perfect woman in the world. It was reasonable for Jason to fall in love with Evadne. She herself was ordinary and unremarkable, not worth Jason’s affection. But why would that man be willing to divorce Evadne? Maybe he was seriously ill and didn’t want to burden Evadne’s remaining life. Evadne booked a high-end room, and as they approached the entrance, they heard a wailing sound from the room across. “That sounds terrifying.” Nydia gripped Evadne’s arm tightly. “If that’s called singing, then a donkey could be a pop star.” Evadne quickly pulled Nydia into the room, wanting to get as far away from the wailing as possible. They ordered lots of chilled beer and laid out a feast of fruit and snacks. Both of them were professional level singers. Singing, dancing, and drinking. Evadne was in high spirits because of the successful project. Normally, she could hold her liquor pretty well, but this time she was a bit tipsy. “Nydia. I’m going to the bathroom. Wait for me here and don’t wander off.” Evadne’s eyes were a bit blurry, and her words slurred. Despite that, she didn’t forget to remind her sister, 1/2 16:51 Chapter 130 “Evadne, are you drunk? I’ll go with you.” Nydia saw the flush on Evadne’s delicate face and the glossiness in her eyes, and immediately tried to support her, but she was pushed away. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“I ain’t drunk! I’m your big sis. How could I possibly be drunk? If anyone’s gonna get sloshed, it should be you first. I still gotta drop you home.” Evadne yawned after finishing her sentence. Nydia could only helplessly chuckle. What kind of logic was that? After coming out of the bathroom, Evadne leaned against the wall as she walked back. Her body was just a tad disobedient at first, but by now, she was starting to feel a bit dizzy. The KTV was extravagantly decorated, all glitter and gold, mirrors reflecting light all around, and the rooms weren’t even numbered sequentially, which led to Evadne getting lost pretty quickly. Her eyes were glazed over, unsure of how long she had been wandering around. Thinking she had finally made it, she pushed through the door without a second thought. And bam! She ended up bumping into a strapping man. “Ugh!” Evadhe gave a soft yelp, her mind in a fuzz. She was unable to steady herself in her high heels, and her body started to lean backward. The man’s eyes flickered, and he quickly caught her delicate waist. Through the fabric, he could feel the slimness of her waist. It was so slender that his hand could easily encircle it. The man’s breathing hitched, he adjusted his gla**es, and his eyes gazed at her face, which was as beautiful as a rare gem. “Miss you’ve had too much to drink.” “Ugh. I haven’t!” Evadne protested, her eyes drunkenly fixed on the man. Then, she suddenly smirked, and surprisingly, she reached out and removed his gla**es! The man’s gaze instantly turned icy. The last person who accidentally knocked off his gla**es was nowhere to be found now. “Hey, you’re Little Critter!” The man’s breath hitched, his face turned pale! His eyes rapidly scanned her face, then he abruptly asked in a low voice, “Are you Evadne?”
