“Rival in love?” Evadne rested her cheek on her palm while casually popping a juicy blueberry into
Thaddeus’s mouth. “You Jareth can have a rival? How interesting.”
Thaddeus snorted. “My sister’s under your overprotective watch like she’s under house arrest. Besides
you and your secretary, who else does she even meet? She doesn’t have a normal social life; where
would the romantic rivale from? In her dreams?”
“Exactly!” Jareth mmed his hand on the table, his voice cracking in agitation.
He rememberedst night, his delicate wife murmuring another man’s name in her sleep “Aaron“.
In her dreams, she was calling out another man’s name!
Jareth’s heart shattered like ss, the pieces scattering across the floor.
“You’re not talking about my brother Aaron, are you?” Evadne’s gaze was icy as she looked at him.
Thaddeus was taken aback, unable to figure out how they were rted to Aaron
Jareth’s eyes widened, his gaze at Evadne was filled with admiration, “Evadne, how did you know? Are
you a fairy?!”
“I’m not a fairy.”
Evadne was utterly speechless. “It’s written all over your face. I saw youst night, standing face to
face with Aaron, looking at him like a jealous rooster. I sensed something was odd. But Mr. Fairhaven,
it seems you’re seeing things. The Ashbourne men are all gentlemen. They would never do something
as disgraceful as being a third party. Don’t treat every man who talks to Mari as a potential enemy.”
“Aaron’s not that kind of people. Jareth, you can doubt anyone but not Evadne’s rtives,” Thaddeus
said, wrapping his arm around his wife, finding Jareth’s thoughtsughable.
Jareth sighed, unable to continue without making himself seem like a jealous person.
“Ah. No wonder you’re in such a rush to get married to Mari. You’re feeling threatened.”
Evadne saw through his intentions. “Really, is this tiny thing making you lose your cool? Are you still a
child?”
Jareth pursed his l*ps in embarrassment.
“On the matter of getting married, let’s think it through carefully,” Thaddeus said, his eyes darkening.
“For now, you need to sort out your family affairs. Once you’ve established yourself at Fairhaven group,
everything will fall into ce.”
Jareth was still uneasy.
His wife could only be Mari. But Mari’s man might not necessarily be him. The girl was so innocent,
that he was afraid that she might be swept away by someone else.
Love, when it runs deep, makes one fret over every little thing.
As breakfast was almost finished, Gordon, who had been sent busy by Thaddeus, returned.

“Mrs. Abernathy! You are truly insightful. Byron was indeed arrested!”
Gordon looked at Evadne with pure admiration. “The media are crowding outside the police station!
They’ve got solid evidence on Byron for assaulting several women, including two who are underage!*
“Disgusting! He’s the worst of the worst!” Jareth mmed his hand on the table in anger.
Thaddeus was also outraged by Byron’s vile deeds.
But beyond his anger, he held deep admiration for his woman, and he pulled her close into his chest as
if she were a precious treasure.
“Evadne, Jareth was right, you’re like a brilliant fairy, as beautiful as an angel.”
“Oh, stop it with the sweet talk.”
Evadne feigned annoyance, but deep down, she was pleased. “It’s just a pity, I heard Byron was
caught n*ked. Some reporters were live–streaming, and they didn’t even have time to censor the
image. Ah, I regret not catching that thrilling broadcast. The uncensored image is much more thrilling!”
Thaddeus, amused by her wild remarks, had grown to love this side of her. A fiery, sassy woman was
exactly to his taste.
“If you want the original footage, I can get it for you,” Jareth offered earnestly.
The couple exchanged a look of disbelief.
Was he being dense on purpose, or just pretending innocent?
“Now, with Bertha down and Byron out, Matthew’s lost two of his arms,” Thaddeus said, his expression
turning cold. “The fall of one will lead to the copse of the other. Matthew must be panicking. Next, the
entire Chambers Group will be his and Avery’s arena. Matthew mayck strength, but he’s
cunning. Watching him sh with Avery will be like watching a snake and a scorpion in the same cage,
quite a spectacle.” Evadne frowned, didn’t show the typical satisfaction of a victor. “Don’t celebrate too
early. Avery is much stronger than we imagined. Yesterday, I contacted my brother to buy up Chambers
Group stock during its plummet, attempting to gain control of thepany. But we didn’t expect there
to be amarket mastermind behind the scenes injecting arge amount of funds to stabilize the
Chambers Group’s precarious situation. As a result, my brother failed to acquire it.”
Thaddeus’s brows furrowed. “This market mastermind is Avery?”
“He has the ability to manipte elections in Helgen. Do you think he wouldn’t have the capability to
control the stock market? After lurking in Helgen for fifteen years, once he returned to Elmsworth, he
must have been well–prepared to seize control of the Chambers Group.”
Evadne closed her eyes and clenched her teeth. “Under no circumstances can we let Chambers Group
fall into his hands.”
“Even if we can’t stop it.” Thaddeus began.
Thad’s eyes shimmered with a soft intensity as he pressed a tender k*ss to her forehead. “Imagine if
the Chambers Group, which he schemed so hard to acquire, turned out to be nothing but a empty shell,
aplete mess; I believe that would be the greatest humiliation for him.”
Evadne’s sparkling eyes danced with agreement, nodding emphatically.
“Oh, right, Mr. Thaddeus, Mrs. Abernathy, there’s one more thing!”
Gordon was thirsty, but he barely had a moment to drink as he rushed to continue his report. “Not sure
if it’s worth mentioning. Avery just got himself a private jet andndedst night at Elmsworth! Wow, I
saw the photos taken by the guys, that jet is pure luxury! It’s even more high–end than Mr. Thaddeus’s
jet. Really extravagant!”
Thad’s handsome face darkened, a shadow passing over his features. “You like big nes so. Well,
why not join him and take his ne?”
