Chapter 109
Emeric was so pis sed he wanted to p Thaddeus right then and there but what baffled him more was
Evadne.
He had thought of Evadne as a little hell-raiser. Daring enough to risk getting blown to bits on the
battlefield to save others was already over the top.
But to think that after disappearing for three years, she went behind their backs and got married! And to
his mortal enemy Frederic’s son Thaddeus! And it was a contract marriage!
At that moment, Emeric wanted to cr ack open her skull to see what exactly she was thinking!
Thaddeus’s eyes were getting redder and redder, and his chest felt like it was being crushed, and he
could barely breathe.
Now, she was about to leave him for good. Their three years of bond shattered during Mr. Hamiltion’s
birthday party, and everything turned into dust.
But he didn’t want to end things with her in such an unclear way, and he wanted an answer.
“If I recall correctly, we first met three years ago. When Mr. Hamiltion asked you to marry me, why
didn’t you refuse? Why?” Evadne narrowed her eyes into slits, looking at him coldly like a cat. “Since
we’re already divorced, why bother asking these pointless questions? Just a**ume I was bored three
years ago and wanted to experience married life with a man. Fortunately, Mr. Hamiltion gave me the
chance.”
“Evadne!” Thaddeus called her real name with a h o ar se voice, his eyes burning. “I just want an
answer. I want to hear the truth!”
“Let bygones be bygones. Let’s not dwell on it and look forward,” she said, stretching her right hand
towards Thaddeus. “We might bepetitors in the business world in the future, I won’t go easy on
you, and I hope you won’t go soft on me because of our past rtionship, pleasepete with me to
the best of your ability.”
She wanted to say “out of old times’ sake”, but then she thought, he never loved her, so what old
times?
Thaddeus felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out. he tried to take a deep breath, but he
couldn’t shake her hand.
As if by shaking hands, they would be worlds apart, never to meet again.
Evadne shrugged, unbothered, and got into the car.
Just as the engine roared to life and the luxury car was about to take off, she rolled down the window
and looked at Thaddeus with a beautiful face.
Thaddeus’s heart ski pped a beat, but her following words made him freeze.
“See you at 9 a.m. tomorrow, and we’ll go to the courthouse to finalize the divorce proceedings.”
The luxury car smoothly drove away from Thaddeus, and the wheels seemed to be rolling over his
heart.
Behind him, Hamiltion was wiping away his tears secretly, Frederic’s face wasplex, his eyes hard
to read.
“What? Now that she’s gone, you suddenly remember how good Ms. Evadne was? Regretting it?”
Hamiltion sneered.
“I just.”
“Thaddeus’s way of doing things, you don’t need a DNA test to know he’s your son! Can’t tell real from
fake, can’t discern the genuine from the false! Humph!”
Frederic looked defeated, grinding his teeth, unable to speak.
He couldn’t imagine this countryside girl who worked as a caregiver and showed no signs of being
special in the past three years, but once they divorced, she turned out to be the most beloved daughter
of Skyrim’s richest man!
Although the Abernathy family was also a big family in Elmsworth, but if the news of the Abernathy
family and the Ashbourne family’s marriage alliance came out, the Abernathy group’s stocks would
definitely soar!
But now, everything was just a mirage.
The night was as dark as ink. Evadne sat in the car looking out the window, her heart cold as ice.
She reyed Thaddeus, asking her why she married him in the first ce over and over. In her mind,
his eyes were sca ttered and broken, filled with pain and reluctance, as if she had abandoned him.
Evadne clenched her fists, shaking her head forcefully.
One should never pity a man. Pitying a man was the beginning of a tragedy.
Thaddeus could never fall in love with her. If he could, three years would have been enough. The pain
and resentment on his face now was just because Emeric was present, and he was trying to save face
for himself.
“So, why did you marry him?” Emeric gritted his teeth, looking at Evadne, his fists clenched.
Evadne rolled her eyes impatiently, “Enough, Emeric, stop digging into the past. It’s over.”
“Over my as s!” Emeric roared, startling the driver and Jason in the pa**enger seat, “My baby girl
secretly married that Abernathy boy for three years and now divorced! If you didn’te to Mr.
Hamiltion’s birthday party, were you nning on keeping me in the dark forever?!”
“Then why did youe? Did Frederic give you an invitation?” Evadne tried to change the subject.
“Don’t change the subject!”
Evadne’s fingertips rested on her lower lip, and she spoke softly, “Because Thaddeus is handsome.”
“Handsome? Which one of my sons isn’t better looking than Thaddeus?!”
“Which one of your sons can I marry?”
Emeric was choked up, and he continued angrily, “How much money did their family give you? How
much jewellery? How many shares? How many mansions and luxury cars?! Why didn’t I see any
media coverage about you and Thaddeus’s marriage? With Frederic’s personality, wouldn’t he have
been showing off if Thaddeus married a girl of your status? He would’ve set off fireworks walking down
the street!”
“Emeric, you forgot I used a pseudonym during my three years of marriage to Thaddeus. They didn’t
know I was your daughter.” Evadne was originally a bit down but couldn’t help but almostugh at
Emeric’s words, “I never liked to show off, so marrying Thaddeus was pretty simple.”
Emeric was fuming at the thought of the Abernathy family pushing his daughter around, both openlyContent ? N?velDrama.Org.
and secretly. He wished he could bankrupt them tomorrow and kick them
to the curb!

“You’d rather put yourself down, even willing to marry Thaddeus under a false name. Evadne, have you
lost your marbles, gone mad, or been brainwashed? This is totally not like you!” Emeric’s face was
filled with disbelief and confusion.
She wasn’t crazy, and she wasn’t stu pid. She just once deeply loved Thaddeus and sincerely wanted
to marry him.
Biting back the pain, Evadne gave a faint smile, gripping Emeric’s cold hand tightly, gently covering it.
“Thaddeus has been good to me these past three years, and he never let meck anything or bullied
me. We broke up amicably, Dad, don’t worry about me. See, didn’t Ie back safe and sound?”
“What else can we do?” Emeric was both angry and heartbroken, his handsome face suddenly
seeming to age a few years. “Let it be! After all, you married under a fake identity. Thaddeus’s ex-wife
is just that unlucky na, not Evadne! Evadne is still the unattainable queen of the hill!”
“That’s the spirit. Dad!” Evadne hugged him tightly, affectionately leaning on his shoulder.
