His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 240

Chapter 240

Evadne had been enjoying the comforts of home for three consecutive days, her routine consisting of little more than eating and sleeping. She was like a piglet in a pen, nursing on slop.

Her stepmothers were all too keen to pamper her. Myra was in charge of the kitchen, preparing a steady stream of delicious dishes for Evadne.

Three days later, she stepped on the scale and found that she had gained a whopping six pounds!

“I’ll become a pig if I keep this up!” Evadne wailed in despair.

“Alright, alright, we’ll ease up after this meal!” Myra and Aviana cajoled, leading Evadne back to the dining room.

Emeric and Jareth were out of town for an important event, leaving Evadne to have lunch with her three stepmothers.

“Miss Evadne! Good news!” Jason burst in, his eyes sparkling with glee. “Glynnis has been implicated in a business scandal and is now under police custody! Elspeth is running around like a headless chicken, and Mr. Frederic is busy trying to get his daughter out of trouble!”

“Ah, it took them three days to handle Glynnis. The Elmsworth police department could learn a thing or two from our Skyrim guards.” Evadne wasn’t surprised, she simply picked up a napkin and dabbed at her l*ps.

“Well, Glynnis is the heiress of a wealthy family. The police can’t just act rashly.”

Suri placed another pastry on Evadne’s plate. “Here, have another one. Once you’re back in Elmsworth, you won’t get to enjoy Myra’s cooking.”

“Er, I really can’t eat anymore!” Evadne shook her head, covering her mouth as she let out a small burp. This prompted a round of laughter from her stepmothers. Observing Evadne’s adorable antics, Jason couldn’t help but smile. He moved closer and gently patted her back, afraid that she might choke.

“Miss Evadne, take it easy,” he advised.

Suri, ever observant, caught the affectionate gesture. She didn’t say anything, but she noted Jason’s tenderness for Evadne.

“Sure, Glynnis from the Abernathy family is a troublemaker who has repeatedly provoked our Evadne, and deserves punishment. But I think Elspeth is the one who really should be arrested! She needs to be drained of her malicious intentions!” Aviana exclaimed, banging her hand on the table. “The woman has caused nothing but trouble for Evadne, and I refuse to believe that she’s not behind it all! She’s more toxic than a venomous rat!”

Seeing that her husband wasn’t around, Aviana had completely thrown dining etiquette out the window. Myra, whose heart was racing, quickly stuffed a pineapple pastry into Aviana’s mouth to silence her.

Evadne’s eyes darkened upon hearing this. Apparently, there was a deep–seated enmity between Myra and Elspeth,

After lunch, Evadne decided not to question Myra directly, but instead went to Aviana’s room to gather more information.

“Myra did indeed work with Elspeth at NexGen Network for quite some time before marrying Emeric. They were both signed artists of the same agency. However, while Myra was one of the top actresses, Elspeth was often relegated to playing the role of the villain in Myra’s shows.”

“Knowing Elspeth’s manipulative nature and intense jealousy, she must have tried to sabotage Myra’s success, right?” Evadne speculated.

“That’s it. She…” Aviana was almost sl*pped out. “Oh no, I promised Myra that I will keep it secret.”

“Aviana! Elspeth must have been bullied–Myra. Don’t you want to avenge her.”

“Aviana indeed had a grudge against Elspeth. Otherwise; she won’t quit showbiz in her prime time.”

Suri’s cold voice suddenly came, scared the two.

“Suri, when did you get here? I didn’t notice at all,” Evadne said, catching her breath and feeling relieved that it wasn’t Myra who had overheard them.

“From the moment you two started chatting. Do you two have a misunderstanding about the concept of whispering?” Suri glanced outside, closed the door, and walked over to them. “Aviana, there’s no need to hide anything now. Evadne is grown up. She should know about certain things.”

Evadne quickly grabbed Suri’s slightly cold hand, waiting for her to speak.

“Out of jealousy for Myra’s talent and popularity, Elspeth constantly tripped her up and played tricks on her, forcing Myra to be bullied and ostracized by the entire television station. In the end, someone drugged her, causing her to lose face at a major event and almost ruin her reputation.”

Suri took a deep breath, managing to calmly recount this dark past.

“Drugged?” Evadne asked in a choked voice. “Did someone?”

“Not that kind of drug,” Suri quickly clarified. “It was a banned substance that affects the nervous system. It’s no longer found in Windhelm, but it was quite popular in the entertainment industry back in the day. You could say it’s a kind of soft drug that seriously harms people’s health.”

Evadne and Aviana were both taken aback, their eyes instantly reddened!

Of course, Suri was the heiress of the Bright family, a renowned pharmaceutical dynasty and now the leading pharmaceutical corporate group in the country. They would certainly be familiar with such matters!

“So, what happened next? What happened after that?” Evadne asked, gripping Myra’s hand tightly.

“Then, on the day of the NexGen Network anniversary celebration, she wet herself on stage in front of everyone.”

The last words left Suri’s eyes moist.

“Damn it, how could this happen?” Aviana was livid, her fist smashing the vanity mirror into pieces.

Evadne’s slender shoulders trembled, her breath as if put on pause.

Twenty years have passed, yet it felt like she could still feel that bone–piercing humiliation, the painful feeling of being laughed at by others that cut her to the bone! Myra, once a big beauty who was the talk of the town in Hollywood.

However, she left a lifelong shadow on her favorite stage, and she might never have the courage to become the dazzling, alluring Myra again!

“Suri, how can you be sure that it was Elspeth who did this?” Evadne tried to remain calm, asking in a cold voice.

“At the time, Emeric and I found a lot of evidence, but indeed, there was nothing concrete to pin the crime on Elspeth.”

Suri shook her head with regret, ‘Elspeth always used to bully Myra, and she had an unclear relationship with the TV station head. Myra had a hard time at the station and couldn’t break her long–term contract, so she had to grit her teeth and bear it. Moreover, I’ve looked into it, and Elspeth did have her agent purchase that kind of drug from the market around the time of the anniversary. But even so, there was no substantial evidence that could conclusively link her. After all, there were many performers at Elmsworth who were using that drug at the time.”

“That’s enough.”

Evadne slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her beautiful eyes were a bright red, “As long as I believe she’s the culprit, that’s enough.”
