Chapter 199


    Chapter 199


    Thaddeus just stood there, taking Evadne’s sharp words like a punch to the gut, unable to fight back.


    Because she was right. He did all those things, didn’t he?


    “Evadne, I have nothing to do with Edith. I’ve never considered her my sister!” Thaddeus was so


    worked up he was red in the ears, his voice turning


    hoarse.


    He wasn’t one to exin himself, but he was on edge this time!


    “Why are you telling me this? What’s it got to do with me?”


    Evadne was done putting up with him, her gaze full of disgust, “Whatever’s going on between you two


    has nothing to do with me. I don’t wanna hear your exnations. Move, I’ve got a fashion show to


    catch.”


    “You don’t care? Then why bring it up? You did at the police station, and you’re doing it now!”


    Thaddeus hated this misunderstanding, his eyes turning red, shoulders shaking, “If you care about who


    I’m with, that means you still care about me! You’re not as indifferent orid–back as you im to be!”


    “I’m not caring. I’m repulsed. I’m repulsed by you, Thaddeus.”


    Evadne looked at him firmly, pried his fingers off her arrn and pulled free, “If I’d known there were other


    women around you, I’d never have fallen for you. Now, I’m d I left you early. But I still feel sick,


    because I once loved a man who’s fickle and can’t own up to his actions!”


    Thaddeus started panting heavier, the pain of being misunderstood choking him.


    So this was what it felt like to be wronged, like his heart was being torn apart.


    Evadne was slightly taken aback by the pain in Thaddeus‘ eyes.


    But she didn’t linger. She turned and left resolutely.


    She thought, “Evadne, let the past be the past. No matter how unbearable, how passionate, and how


    profound that is, there’s no turning back.”


    Just then, Evadne’s phone rang, it was Jason.


    “Jason, what’s up?” she tried to calm down.


    “Ms. Evadne, we’ve got trouble! Check out Twitter, now!” Jason was frantic, his voice going all high–


    pitched!


    Evadne felt a sinking feeling, a sense of foreboding creeping in.


    She quickly picked up her phone and checked the trending topics on Twitter.


    Instantly, her face turned pale, and she cursed under her breath,


    “Damn it!”


    The top trend was the leak of Ada Ang’s wedding design!


    The wedding scene photos painstakingly nned by her and her team were posted all over the


    inte!


    All of itpletely exposed!


    Thaddeus, who was still brooding, heard Evadne curse. He was taken aback at first, and then he


    smirked.


    She had be more lively since leaving him. She was full of vitality, warmth, and way more adorable


    than the cautious woman who used to stick by his side.


    He took steps towards her.


    But at that moment, she took off towards the other end of the hallway in her high heels, leaving him far


    behind.


    Thaddeus instantly sensed something was off. He watched Evadne’s retreating figure, took out his


    phone and dialed Gordon.


    “Mr. Thaddeus.”


    “Is there a problem at K Orld Hotel?” the man asked sharply.


    “Yes, Mr. Thaddeus, I was just about to report this to you!”


    Gordon sounded anxious, “The wedding photos that K Orld Hotel set up for Ada were leaked on


    Twitter! It’s being shared massively and it’s the top trend!”


    Thaddeus furrowed his brows, “Who’s behind this?”


    “It’s a self–media with arge following. They didn’t take the regr route!”


    “This guy dares to expose anything. He has no scruples at all!” Thaddeus’s eyes darkened.


    “Mr. Thaddeus, will this leak affect Mrs. Abernathy?” Gordon asked nervously.


    “Definitely. Or else why would she, who’s always as steady as a rock, just bolt like a rabbit?”


    Thaddeus was still looking in the direction Evadne left, his heart was pounding for her, “If I’m not


    mistaken, Ada and Evadne must have included a use in their contract, no early leaks of any wedding


    details, or it’s a breach of contract.”


    “Breach of contract?! That serious!”


    “Now that the wedding scene is leaked, it’s confirmed that K Orld Hotel breached the contract. Next,


    even if K Orld Hotel doesn’t have topensate Ada financially, I think Ada will choose another host


    for her wedding. But, it definitely won’t be K Orld Hotel.” Thaddeus said grimly.

    It meant that all of Evadne’s efforts were wasted!


    And the prestigious K Orld Hotel waspletely out of the picture!


    “Oh my. Mrs. Abernathy is such a smart and wise woman. She’s always careful. How could she fall for


    this!”


    Thaddeus‘ eyes were sharp, and his fist clenched in anger.


    Normally, he’d be happy about K Orld Hotel’s misfortune, as they werepetitors.


    But he couldn’t find it in him tough at this moment.


    “Gordon, investigate that self–media ASAP. Find the person responsible, and get to the bottom of this


    leak!”


    The leak of Ada’s wedding scene quickly stirred up a storm.


    Everyone at the fashion show heard about it, but the clueless spectators didn’t realize the gravity of the


    situation. They even praised Ada’s wedding in front of her, saying how grand and magnificent it was,


    like a dream wedding!


    However, Ada’s face was getting grimmer by the minute.


    Man, she didn’t even stick around for the whole show and didn’t even say hi to Alvin, just upped and


    left the venue, dodging everyone’s gaze.


    But all this was caught by Edith and Glynnis, sitting opposite the catwalk!


    “That Caroline’s fast on her feet, Edith said, her eyes exuding an ominous air that contrasted with her


    angelic face.


    Seeing Ada storm off, she knew that she had aplished what she set out to do.


    Just because Evadne was the daughter of the richest man in Skyrim, even if she had ten thousand


    pieces of Alea’s jewelry, what good would that do? Edith thought, “In the end, you’ve been yed by


    me, and you’ve failed utterly!”


    “You gotta admit, that Caroline’s really sharp.”


    Glynnis couldn’t help but admire, “She got snaps of the wedding in no time. Is she really a reporter?


    She’s more like a’spy!”


    “For now, don’t reach out to Caroline. Don’t give anyone a handle on us.”


    The determination in Edith’s eyes sparkled. She said with pride, “Hey, Glynnis, I’ve taken care of that


    nuisance Evadne for you. Whether you can win Ada’s heart now is all on you.”


    “Oh, chill, with K Orld Hotel breaching the contract, Ada will definitely choose us, the Abernathy Group.”


    Glynnis puffed up her chest, saying smugly, “Apart from us, the Abernathy Group, and K, who else in


    Elmsworth has got the chops topete? If not us, who else can she choose, huh?”
