His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 52

Chapter 52 The hotel lobby was already buzzing with curious guests. “Dear guest, please calm down. You’re a respectable person. Making a scene here doesn’t look good on you. We can discuss any issues in the meeting room.” The lobby manager was desperately trying to calm down Glynnis. “So, even high-status guests like me get robbed by your hotel? What does this mean for the ordinary guests? They must be having it even worse!” Glynnis fiercely slapped the marble front desk, glaring at the lobby manager. People around were giving sideways glances, some recognized Glynnis. They knew she was the daughter of the Abernathy family, but her current behavior made her look like a low-cla** person. “I didn’t steal anything.” The female waitress mumbled, head hung low. “You dare to argue back?” Glynnis’s sharp red nails jabbed at the waitress’s face. The girl might have been blinded if it weren’t for the manager’s intervention. “My necklace was on the sink. Did it just grow legs and walk away?” “I did clean the room, but I wasn’t the only person there.” The waitress was pale, but she refused to admit to any wrongdoing. “What are you implying? Are you suspecting us?” One of Glynnis’s friends retorted angrily. “We are from wealthy families. Why would we steal your necklace? It was poor people like you who would resort to stealing.” Another friend of Glynnis chimed in. “I thought the Ashbourne family’s hotel would have good security, but the service is terrible, not even close to the Abernathy family’s hotel standards!” Glynnis crossed her arms, sneering. The lobby manager’s face turned grave. The guests of the K Orld Hotel were usually high-cla** people, and he hadn’t seen such a difficult person in a long time. “Glynnis, you’re smearing our hotel’s reputation and attacking our staff before anything is clear. Do you

think that’s appropriate?” The voice was pleasant, like a gentle breeze, cold and elegant.

Everyone was drawn to a beautiful woman in a white suit. Evadne walked in emotionless; in her towering high heels, she exuded an imposing aura. Evadne’s presence took aback Glynnis’s friends. “How are you here?” Glynnis was surprised, and she gave Ilana a disgusted look. Evadne, dressed in a tailored suit and designer heels, sporting a pair of expensive sapphire earrings, displayed her extraordinary status. People around were admiring her quietly. They didn’t know Evadne’s real identity, but her beauty attracted them. In contrast, Glynnis and her friends looked tacky, like a bunch of clowns. At this moment, Thaddeus and Gordon walked into the hotel lobby. Seeing his ex-wife, who had been missing for almost a week, suddenly appear before him, Thaddeus’s heart fluttered, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. His gaze was fixed on her. “Mr. Thaddeus! It’s Ilana!” Gordon was excited, but his expression quickly changed. “Glynnis is here too? Many people are watching them. What happened?” Thaddeus had a bad feeling as soon as he saw Glynnis. He wanted to go over and see what happened, but he suddenly stopped. “Wait, let’s watch first.” The misunderstood waitress, seeing Evadne arrive, felt both heartbroken and wronged. Her tears fell. “Manager.” “So you’re the manager here. Do you miss your life with the Abernathy family?” Glynnis said with a smile. “Is that so? I don’t think so. I feel my life now is much better than before.” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Evadne slightly raised her eyebrows, and her smile held a hint of challenge. “At least now, I live like a human being.” Her words clearly entered Thaddeus’s ears. Thaddeus was taken aback, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. What did she mean by that? Didn’t he treat her well during their three years of marriage? Besides the lack of love for Ilana, he felt he provided her with the life of a president’s wife. In the Abernathy family, she lived a wealthy life with ser vants tending to her, and she didn’t suffer at all, and he even gave her a supplementary card, he was never stingy with her in terms of money. Although, Ilana never spent a penny from that card in those three years, it was much better than when she worked as a caregiver in a sanatorium. How dare she speak like that? As if she had experienced a lot of hardships and suffered a lot of abuse! Thaddeus got angrier. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to go over and confront her directly. “Now that you’re the manager here, I won’t hold back. It would be best if you gave me an explanation for what happened today. Either compensate me with a necklace exactly like the one I lost, it’s not that expensive, just over 200 grand. Or send this dishonest waitress to the police station. And you, as the manager, you must apologize to me in front of everyone. Money is not the issue. What I can’t bear is this kind of occurrence.” Glynnis nonchalantly said, running her fingers through her hair. She wouldn’t let people know Ilana used to be her sister-in-law. She felt that was too humiliating. Now Ilana had to bow her head to her. She had outshone everyone at the charity auction, now, without the halo of being President Ashbourne’s lover, Ilana was just an ordinary employee. She would teach her a lesson this time. “Mr. Thaddeus, Ilana is being bullied!” Gordon, who never liked Glynnis, was now extremely anxious. 11/2 11:31 “Just wait a bit longer.”

Thaddeus patiently waited for Ilana’s response. His curiosity about his ex-wife was much stronger than most people’s. He’d never seen Ilana in work mode before. To him, she was just a stay-at-home mom. Working in a hotel in the service industry was no picnic. He was curious to see if she could handle the problem of Glynnis, now that Cas sius had promoted her to manager. “Glynnis, your necklace is worth over 200,000. That’s more than enough for us to call the cops and get them to investigate this theft. If you really want to recover your loss, we can help you report it. After all, the sooner you report, the greater the chance of finding your necklace. And once the police are involved, all hotel staff, including myself, will fully cooperate. All surveillance equipment and staff’s personal belongings can be checked by the police with a search warrant.” Evadne explained seriously. The people around them started to chime in. “Absolutely, this kind of thing should be reported right away! What’s the point of bullying the hotel staff?” “I think she probably just misplaced it and forgot. Pointing fingers at the hotel staff won’t help.” Glynnis snapped, “What’s the point of calling the cops? The thief must have already moved my necklace!” “I’m not a thief! I didn’t steal your stuff!” The waitress was fuming, her whole body shaking. “Our hotel has high-definition cameras in all areas except the washrooms, bathrooms, and staff changing rooms. And after the incident, I immediately controlled all the room department staff. If someone stole your stuff, the stolen goods should still be in the hotel. That person wouldn’t have had time to move your necklace,” Evadne finished, waving her phone. “And I’ve already called the cops. They should be here in about ten minutes. As for the apology you want, once everything is settled, I’ll apologize to you if it’s our fault.” Everyone admired her handling of the situation. “Ilana’s really something; her situation handling is flawless!” Gordon exclaimed, practically becoming an Ilana fan. Thaddeus gave him a cold look. Ilana’s handling of the situation was indeed perfect.

He had to admit that the Ilana who had just handled the situation was calm, clever, a**ertive, and polite, with a leader’s demeanor. Was this the same timid ex-wife he used to know? “Fine, you said it yourself. I didn’t force you!” Glynnis gritted her teeth. “Of course, as the hotel manager, I should be responsible for my guests, but only if we’re actually in the wrong.” Evadne had a smile on her face, but there was no humor in her eyes. Just then, Jason hurried back with the room department manager. They held a plastic bag carefully as if they were collecting evidence. “We found it! We found the guest’s necklace!” Chapter 53 Everyone was shocked out of their wits. Glynnis and her two friends were also taken aback.
