Chapter 605


    Chapter 605


    Glynnis’s eyes spun wildly as she staggered to her feet, dusting herself off indignantly. “You’reing


    back? When will that be? Are you nning toe back just to get even with Jareth?”


    Edith clenched her teeth with venomous anger. “He made my life a misery, how could I possibly let him


    have his way? From the moment he pped me, not once but thrice, in front of Evadne, Thaddeus,


    and the entire Elmsworth elite at the g, there was no longer any brother–sister bond between us,


    only bitter enemies!”


    “Exactly! Jareth’s gone too far! He hasn’t even put a ring on Mari’s finger yet, and he’s already


    ditched his own sister and disowned his mother! If those two tie the knot, do you think you and your


    mom will have any standing left? Glynnis sniffled, her wordsced with malice as she backstabbed


    Mari, stoking the embers of conflict


    “Hmph, don’t pretend you’re looking out for me. All this enthusiastic plotting, isn’t it just because you


    want me to return and wield my influence to settle your scores?


    Edith saw tight through Glynnis’s sordid intentions andughed coldly “Without your mom to back you,


    what fighting power do you have left? All you can do is watch your dimwit sister marry into wealth and


    lord it over you


    The memory of her collection being plundered by Jareth, now soon to be Mani’s, made Glynnis


    shiver with rage. She was supposed to be the Abernathy family’s cherished eldest daughter, the apple


    of her parents eyes!


    How had she fallen from grace to let that simpleton sister surpass her?


    “No way. Mari cannot marry Jareth, absolutely not Glynnis’s nyes burned with hatred


    “Of course, I feel the same. But you know what Jareth is like, he’ll never give up on that simpleton Well


    need a meticulous n to make him give up on her for good”


    Edith’s smile was sinister I think it’s time for us to coborate again. You must have had an epiphany


    about your mother’s situation by now, right? Pinning all your hopes on someone else is futile Your own


    revenge must be sought by your own hands – that’s the real satisfaction!”


    Glynnis understood the subtext all too well Edith wanted her as an additional safeguard, someone to


    drag down with her.


    But Glynnis was consumed by hatred.


    If it meant bringing Jareth and Mari down, she was willing to do anything even stoop to the lowest!


    “Ha. All your talk here is pointless. Let’s wait until you’re back to discuss further


    Thaddeus and Jareth emerged from the grand Windermere Estate, their luxury cars parked side by


    side outside the gates


    This wasn’t Jareth’s home, but it seemed Thaddeus no longer considered it his either.


    “If Mari liked those trinkets, you should have just told me I could ve sourced them for her, as many as


    she wanted”


    Thaddeus’s longshes cast down as he eyed the hefty bag in Jareth’s hands. “Why bother giving my


    sister Elspeth’s old things? It’s downright unlucky”


    “We can’t just leave them for that brute of a hen to get her hands on. I’d rather smash them than let her


    have them!”


    Jareth’s eyes sparkled mischievously. “I get a kick out of imagining Glynnis wielding a hammer, her


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    face the color of liver, in utter humiliation! The frustration of missing out must be driving her nuts, eh?”


    Thaddeus couldn’t help but smile, despite his brother’s outrageous antics


    “Actually, Mari doesn’t care much for these things.”


    Jareth’s eyes softened as he sighed. “After she said her final goodbye to Elspeth, she’s been feeling


    down, even guilty towards you. So, I suggested we take Elspeth’s intended gifts for Mari and sell


    them to donate to the charity you’re establishing in your mother’s name. It might not be much, but it’s


    the thought that counts. Hopefully, it’ll ease Mari’s conscience a bit


    Thaddeus felt a sudden tightness in his chest. This was exactly what he feared that Mari’s goodness


    would lead her to feel guilty about his mother’s pain, potentially straining their sibling bond.


    “The feud between my mother and Elspeth is over, and Mari wasn’t even conceived when Elspeth


    entered the Abernathy family She’s got nothing to do with it.”


    Thaddeus, his heart aching with empathy, patted Jareth’s shoulder. “Find some time to bring Mari


    over to our ce. Let Evadnefort her, she’s always been persuasive with Evadne. And it just so


    happens, I’ve been perfecting a few new recipes. You two can bask in Evadne’s glow and sample my


    culinary attempts.”


    Jareth’s face had gone the color of wilted lettuce. “Are you inviting us over for dinner, or to be your


    guinea pigs?”
