Chapter 219

Jason please let this bottle of Lafite breathe a bit.” Evadne said with a slight frown, passing over her phone.

Jason fet a pang of disappointment. He knew Miss Evadne was asking him to leave

1 know what you’re thinking Jason, While Thaddeus and I did have a failed marriage, and yes, I did replace him distasteful, it doesn’t mean we can’t ever interact

Evadnes beautiful eyes curved into a comforting smile as she patted his shoulder, in the future, if I want to make my mark in Elmsworth, I can’t avoid dealing with him. Well just haveto play it by ear *

But, Miss Evadne”

What are you afraid of? That hell eat me alive? If he dares lay a finger on me, Cassius won’t even need to do anything Elvis could make Thaddeus disappear from Elmsworth without a trace” She snorted dismissively

No, that was not it

He thought, deeply admire you, and I wouldn’t hesitate to risk my life for you. What I’m afraid of is old feelings being rekindled between you and Thaddeus. I can’t bear to see you jump back into the fire pit

Jason let out a despondent sigh, picked up the wine, and left.

Evadne noticed her phone was still vibrating in her palm, persistent as hell, which was completely in line with Thaddeus’ stubborn nature.

“Mr Thaddeus, what can I do for you?” She answered, her tone as cool as ever

“Thank you for the cake, it was delicious.

Evadne’s breath hitched, her long lashes drooping

In the silence of the night, Thaddeus voice was low and magnetic, the slight hint of a lit in his tone effortlessly beguiling.

She used to love calling him, just to hear his voice. Even if he was cold, she would get excited and roll around in her bed But now, her heart was calm

She had always had great self-control. She could quit any addiction, including love

“You’re welcome I hope that after eating it, you have learned something. Next time you want to meddle, remember the true meaning behind the bulldog cake” Evadne’s voice was cold, her eyes filled with chilliness.

dont think I was medding” Thaddeus voice became serious, “Your business is not trivial”

Evadne laughed mockingly, completely unimpressed, “Indeed, it’s not trivial. After all, to kill a pig, one needs a butcher’s knife I can help you cut down Glynnis pride. After all, if Glynnis seizes this opportunity to become the general manager of Abernathy Hotel your stepmother will be busier than ever. You certainly wouldn’t want to make your position in the Abernathy Group more difficult.”

Thaddeus was silent for a moment, his brows furrowing deeply

Tana cared for him deeply, looking after him meticulously and genuinely

But now Evadne was cunning and hard to read, always plotting

Yet, he couldn’t forget her and couldn’t let her go.

So, how many steps did it take to go from being a jerk to being pathetic?

Tvadne, do you think I care about Elspeth and her daughter? They can’t make waves under my watch Otherwise I would have wasted all those years as CEO”

Thaddeus fell silent, wanting to say something, but holding back

Evadne clenched her fists, her knuckles cracking. Thaddeus, I suggest you stop interfering in my affairs from now on. This is the last piece of advice I give you as your ex-wife. When I get serious, even mosquitoes will steer clear. If you get involved and I take you down with medont blame me for being ruthless”

“Do whatever you want.”

Thaddeus voice was magnetic and pleasing, like a night breeze brushing past her ear can’t control everything, but with me at Abernathy Group, who can hurt you?”

Evadne frowned, his words sounded weird.

The air was suddenly quiet

Both of them, surprisingly in sync, fell silent

After a while. Thaddeus cleared his throat and hastily ended the conversation, Thave nothing else to say goodnight.”

“Hey!”

Before Evadne could finish, he hung up.

“What kind of nonsense was that? How much did he drink?” Evadne looked at the dark screen in confusion, shaking her head

On the other end, after ending the cak Thaddeus realized his palm was sweaty, his mouth was dry, and his heart was beating erratically He closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

Caroline was in a severe car accident and had fallen into a deep coma. She showed no signs of waking.

Glynnis heard from the doctor that Caroline was now in a vegetative state and the chances of her waking up were slim to none

This was a blessing in dsguisel

Otherwise her scheme of bribing Caroline to leak the K Orid Hotel contract would have been exposed!

With this problem solved, Glynnis’ situation was still miserable

Ada’s stance was clear last time without Thaddeus involvement, she would not sign a contract with Glynnis. And apparently, Ada’s team was already scouting other hotels, it was clear

she was not bound to these twol

One afternoon, Glynnis went to the Fairhaven family again.

While she was running around like a headless chicken, Edith was calm, sipping her afternoon tea from a delicate cup

“What do you plan to do about Ada?

Previously, that woman made a ridiculous request, asking Abernathy Group and K to replace her top tier jewelry! Thaddeus has been trying to get Alea to come out of retirement, even going abload to persuade her, but to no avail”

Wick Edith heard this, her eyes glinted

It was because of this that Evadne was able to captivate Ada at the banquet with just one brooch!”

Glynis stomped her foot in anger. “Damn it, just thinking about it makes me angry! If I had Alea’s jewelry, I wouldn’t have to deal with all these problems!”

But you do have. Who said you didn’t?” Eddh said mysteriously

Glynnis froze in surprise “What on earth are you saying, Edith? You mean you’ve got your hands on Alea’s jewels?”

“As far as I know, Alea is very mysterious, and she’s never shown her face to the public. No one knows if she’s still alive, and only a few people have ever seen her jewels. So, why don’t you just make a replica and give it to her in private?” Edith suggested in a languid tone

What? You want me to give Ada a fake?” Glynnis was stunned, her eyes wide open, “What if we get caught? Wouldn’t I be utterly humiliated?”

Come on, how could we possibly get caught? it’s hard enough to tell the difference between a real and a fake painting at an auction, let alone a jewel Unless Alea herself was present, who would be able to tell?”

Edith leaned forward slightly and whispered, Plus, when I was studying in Aetheria, I met a jewellery designer. You might not believe it, but he was actually Alea’s apprentice. I can have him make a replica of Alea’s jewel for you. You can give it to Ada, and she be over the moon and willing to cooperate with you.”

Glynnis was still skeptical about her plan.

But time was running out, and she was desperate. She had to roll the dice and hope for the best. It was a case of door de
