Chapter 80
This was the deepest, most painful secret Evadne had ever kept.
Two years ago, she lost her child. For a long time, she couldn’t bear to see baby stores, hear people
talk about kids, or even watch a baby on television without her heart aching unbearably.
She would always remember that Christmas night two years ago. It was snowing, and she was driving
alone to the seaside with her grandpa to enjoy the snowy scenery. But they had an ident on the
way. In order to get her grandpa medical help as quickly as possible, she endured her pain, got her
grandpa back in the car, and drove straight to
the hospital.
At that time, the Abernathy family was vacationing abroad, and Thaddeus was also overseas
celebrating Christmas with Acacia.
Evadne bore the intense pain in her abdomen until Mr. Murray arrived. Finally, her strength gave out,
and she fell to the ground as if she had fainted.
“Mrs. Abernathy! You’re… you’re bleeding!”
In her blurry consciousness, she saw blood constantly flowing from her lower body. The warm, metallic-
smelling blood became a shadow in her memory that she could never erase. It was only then that she
realized she was pregnant, and the baby was already two months old.
But she didn’t even have a chance to experience a day of joy as a mother before she lost the child
forever. This was her and Thaddeus’ child.
“Mrs. Abernathy! I’ll call Mr. Thaddeus right away!”
In the chaos, Mr. Murray pulled out his phone but was stopped by Evadne’s cold hand.
“Don’t… I beg you…” Her heart ached, and she was terrified. Her tears flowed as she pleaded,
“Thaddeus… he doesn’t know about this… it would break his heart… he would be angry at me… I beg
you… Can you keep this secret for me?”
Evadne closed her eyes tightly, subconsciously covering her stomach. Her sadness made her choke
up.
Fast forward to the present, she saw the panic and heartache of Aviana, Myra, and Suri as the four
women held each other tightly.
“It’s all my fault! It’s all my fault! Evadne… I won’t mention it again… I won’t ever bring it up again! Don’t
be sad… please…” Aviana spoke firmly, but her attempts to seemforting felt clumsy.
“The child should actually feel lucky.” Evadne forced a smile. “If the child were born, it would have to
witness the discord between its parents and lose its father’s love. Rather than that, it’s better… It was
better not toe into the world and suffer.”
That night, Evadne barely slept. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would see the blood all over the
ground and the unformed embryo. She curled up in pain under the covers, but she couldn’t resist the
cold feeling.
During the time after she lost her child, her crying was uncontroble. On the battlefield, she was not
afraid of bullets and gunfire, but because she lost the life of that little baby. it felt like her heart was
being torn apart, like her entire soul was copsing.
“My child, I’m sorry. I’ve lost you forever. I don’t know if I’ll have the chance in this lifetime to have you
again.” She muttered to herself in the middle of the night.
In the morning, after a sleepless night, Evadne got up early. When she came downstairs, she was back
to being the radiant and noble youngdy.
“Evadne, I’ve prepared breakfast. It’s all your old favorites. Why don’t you eat before you go?” Myra,
wearing an apron, came up to her and looked at her carefully. She could still see the bloodshot eyes
and couldn’t help feeling a pinch in her heart.
“Myra, can you pack it for me? I’ll eat on the way.” Evadne lifted her delicate lips, hiding her sadness. “I
have a high-level meeting at the hotel this morning, I must attend on time.”
“Okay, I’ll pack it for you. I’ll pack Mr. Jason’s te as well.” Myra smiled gently, like a loving mother.
“Thank you, Myra.” Jason had just walked in when he heard this, and he thanked her.
Evadne left the vi with Jason. At this time, Emeric was still asleep. She didn’t want to disturb him and
nned to quietly return to Elmsworth.
“Evadne, you’re managing such a big hotel in Elmsworth by yourself. If you run into any problems, you
must let us know. If the Abernathy family bullies you, don’t swallow your anger. You must tell us.”
Suri remembered thest time at the auction when Evadne was surrounded by Elspeth and her gang.
She gritted her teeth in anger. “Next time, I’ll make them pay the price, and make them unable to live in
peace for the rest of their lives!”
“Suri, that’s exactly what you should do! Let’s see what the Abernathy family can do!” Aviana cracked
her knuckles. “Dare to bully Evadne? They’re asking for it!”
Evadne couldn’t help butugh.
Suri came from a family of doctors. Severalrge hospitals in Elmsworth and Skyrim were owned by
the Bright group. Suri was also proficient in pharmaceuticals and medical skills, so it would be very
easy for her to hurt someone.
“Actually, I do have a favor to ask of you two.”
Suri and Aviana said, “Sure, go ahead!”
“Actually, it’s…” Evadne cleared her throat. “I want the Dante Chair that Emeric had Suri bid on at the
last auction.”
Suri and Aviana were shocked. “You’re really something!”
If someone asked Emeric for his house, money, or luxury cars, he would probably give them away
without a second thought. But if someone asked for his art collection, he wouldn’t even part with a
single painting, let alone a Renaissance piece worth ten million!
“Emeric might not want to give it to you. What do you want it for? I’ll try to find an excuse to persuade
him,” Suri asked, troubled.
“If I tell you the reason, he’ll be even less likely to give it to me.”
“Evadne, don’t worry, I’ll help you!” Aviana confidently patted her chest. “If Emeric doesn’t give it to you.
I’ll steal it for you!”
Evadneughed.
After returning to Elmsworth from Skyrim, Thaddeus quickly rested for a night at home, then rushed to
work the next day, tired.
During this time, Acacia called twice. He picked up, but his mind was elsewhere. The main things
Acacia was chattering about were some preparations for the wedding, like custom wedding gowns,
limited edition jewelry, a princess-themed wedding venue, and so many other things. After all, next
weekend was Hamilton’s eightieth birthday, and her wedding with Thaddeus was finally officially
starting to be nned.

“Thaddeus, what do you think of my ideas? These are all things that I and the team have been
brainstorming for over a month!” Acacia sweetly showed off her efforts to the man, hoping to show off
her smarts andpetence.
“As long as you like it, it’s good.” Thaddeus replied absent-mindedly, looking down at a broken gem
bracelet in the jewelry box in front of him. His mind was filled with na and the Ashbourne family’s
coldness and rejection towards him.
He let out a deep sigh and forcefully closed the jewelry box.
“Thaddeus, I’ve already picked out your suit, and you need to find the time to meet the designer with
me today. I can handle everything else, but for your measurements, you have to be there…” Acacia
said in a hurt tone. “The internationally renowned designer came to Elmsworth for us, and if we miss
him now, we’ll have to wait quite a while.”
Thaddeus was a bit dazed, and his tone was slightly apologetic. “I’m sorry, I’ve been too busy recently.
I didn’t have the time to prepare for the wedding.”
Acacia smiled gently. “It’s okay, I’m willing to take care of these things for you.”
“I’ll pick you up in the afternoon.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you, Thaddeus.”
Just as Thaddeus hung up the call, Gordon hurried over with a file and ced it in front of him. “Mr.
Thaddeus, we’ve contacted the agent of international superstar Ada Ang. This is the n for Ada Ang’s
lavish wedding. Please take a look.”
Thaddeus flipped through the file with a serious expression. Because of Glynnis’ negative news, the
reputation of the Abernathy Hotel took a major hit. At the same time, the poprity of the K Orld Hotel
kept climbing, and it became one of the hottest topics on the inte.
Although Thaddeus didn’t n to help Glynnis restore her image, as the president, he had to consider
the interests of the Abernathy group. Therefore, he wanted to strive for the opportunity to cooperate
with Ada Ang as much as possible. If Ada’s wedding could be held at the Abernathy Hotel, it would be
a grand event that would be the talk of the town. If the Abernathy group could do well, it would definitely
attract new attention and increase its influence.
“I need to take this n back to study it in detail, and then discuss it with the hotel’s senior
management. This project is very important to us,” Thaddeus said calmly, closing the file.
“Mr. Thaddeus, I have something to report to you. You’d better brace yourself,” Gordon said hesitantly.
“Just spit it out.”
“This time, the onepeting with our Abernathy group to host Ada’s wedding is…the general
manager of K Orld Hotel…Evadne.”
Upon hearing this name, Thaddeus became serious and furrowed his brows.
