His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 702

    <b>Chapter </b><b>702 </b>


    <b>As </b>time marched on, the weekend arrived.


    <b>Tonight</b>, the Chambers Estate was a spectacle of opulence and grandeur. The grand fountain at the heart of the courtyard was restarted with vigor, while the mansion’s halls bloomed with floral arrangements, resembling avish pce.


    <b>Guests </b>converged in the main hall, with fine attire and perfumed hair, the clinking of sses and lively banter filling the air.


    Ever since Bertha Chambers had faced a harsh sentence, and Byron met a grim end behind bars, a series of business blunders <b>had </b>sent the Chambers Group’s stocks tumbling. The entire group was reeling from an unprecedented blow, a shadow of gloom <b>over </b><b>it </b>for <b>far </b>too long. But tonight, the Chambers shone brightly once more.


    <b>Jeff </b>walked among the guests with Matthew and Elva, basking in the adtion that hadn’t graced their ears in a long time, pride swelling within him.


    “Look! Mrs. Chambers‘ gown–isn’t that a Eunice original?”


    <b>“</b>Indeed, it is! Camille’s signature style is unmistakable, it’s absolutely stunning!”


    It’s amazing what the right clothes can do. She used to be just arm candy next to Matthew, but tonight? She’s stealing the show!” <b>As </bpliments swirled around him, Matthew stood tall, a look of smug satisfaction on his face. His wife is beingplimented, which reflected well on him too, and he felt greatly pleased inside.


    “Elva<b>, </b>you’re making me proud tonight.”


    He caressed his wife’s delicate hand, whispering with a chuckle, “Wait until we get home–I’ll give you a proper reward.”


    Elva suppressed her disgust, her l*ps curling into a charming smile.


    <b>“</b>Where’s Avery?<b>” </b>


    Jeff scanned the room<b>, </b>his brow furrowed. “At such a critical moment, how can he be missing?”


    <b>“</b><b>Mr. </b>Avery’s secretary mentioned he went to personally greet a distinguished guest,” Elva chimed in.


    “Hah, <b>his </b>‘distinguished <b>guest</b>‘ wouldn’t happen to be that Ashbourne girl, would it?” Matthew scoffed with disdain.


    Elva bowed her head, staying silent.


    <b>Jeff’s </b>expression darkened, clearly irritated, “I heard Thaddeus has already been on Emeric’s good side, living at the Ashbourne’s Silveke Harbor residence. <b>The </b>Ashbourne family has all fully epted him<b>; </b><b>his </b>remarriage to Evadne is just a matter of time!


    When will Avery <b>give </b><b>up </b><b>on </b><b>that </b>wretched girl? How long will he remain stubbornly infatuated!”


    At <b>that </b>moment, the secretary hurried over<b>. </b>


    <b>“</b>Mr. <b>Jeff</b><b>, </b>Ms. <b>Ashbourne </b><b>and </b><b>Mr. </b><b>Thaddeus </b>have arrived<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    The Chambers men’s <b>faces </b>twisted <b>in </b><b>unison</b><b>–</b><b>equally </b>displeased.


    <b>They </b>had indeed <b>sent </b><b>an </b>invitation <b>to </b><b>the </b>Abernathy <b>Group</b><b>, </b><b>but </b>it was Frederic <b>they </b><b>expected</b>.


    <b>They </b>hadn’t <b>anticipated </b><b>that </b><b>instead </b><b>of </b>Mr. <b>Frederic</b><b>, </b>this notorious duo would <b>grace </b><b>their </b>doorstep!


    A top–tier luxury car pulled <b>up </b><b>in </b><b>front </b><b>of </b>the main <b>entrance</b>.


    Dressed in a sleek ck tuxedo, Thaddeus stepped <b>out </b>first<b>, </b>his striking features andmanding presence drawing admiring nces. But this the esteemed man reached <b>back </b>into <b>the </b>vehicle and <b>assumed </b><b>the </b>role of <b>a </b>servant,


    A delicate, graceful hand as fair as fine porcin reached out<b>. </b>


    With a charming smile, Thaddeus took hold of Evadne, leading her down from the car.


    Tonight, thisdy wore an <b>elegantly </b>simple off–shoulder, figure–<b>hugging </b>white mermaid gown <b>that </b>entuated her mature, enchanting curves.


    “Evadne, are you cold?” Thaddeus whispered close <b>to </b>her ear


    His hand found the small of her back, squeezing the soft flesh <b>that </b>he found irresistible.


    “I’m alright, it’s just a few steps to the door‘ Evadne replied, her <b>eyes </b>meeting his with a warm smile.


    Together, they were a radiant pair, naturally drawing everyone’s attention.


    Thad Evadne!”


    Chapter <b>702 </b>


    Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy turned to look, their faces lighting up in joy, <b>“</b>Jareth, Mari!”


    Beneath the glittering lights, Mr. Fairhaven, impably dressed<b>, </b>approached with his delicate wife, both beaming with happiness. <b>It </b>was clearly a sweet newlywed couple.


    Mari followed Jareth obediently. In a refinedvender gown, she had her hair elegantly styled with the white jade hairpin Jareth had gifted her<b>–</b>a cherished essory she wore almost daily.


    Though still a bit shy and nervous, she hade a long way from her days of retreating into her shell at the sight of strangers.


    Most notably, she hadn’t brought her teddy bear tonight–an indication of her improving condition. It was clear that Jareth’s love and care had given her an irreceable sense of security.


    Jareth’s public debut with his beloved drew murmurs from the crowd.


    “Who’s that girl with Mr. Jareth? She’s as pretty as a doll.”


    <b>“</b><b>That’s </b>Ms. Mari!”


    <b>“</b>Oh, <b>the </b>youngest daughter of Mr. Frederic? One of Elspeth’s girls, right?”


    “Yes, she and the three misses from the Abernathy family are born to the same mother.”


    “Their fates couldn’t be more different, though. Glynnis‘ reputation in the Elmsworth circle is worse than her deceased mother’s. Despite being an Abernathy heiress, no reputable family would court her. But look at Ms. Mari–she’s not only a beauty but also the apple of Mr. Fairhaven’s eye. And he’s set to inherit the Fairhaven Group. This youngdy’s future is indeed promising.”


    These snippets of conversations flitted into Jareth’s ears, bringing a pleased curve to his l*ps.


    Immediately afterward, with no further ado, he hooked an arm around Mari’s waist<b>, </b>pulling her tender form into his embrace.


    <b>“</b>Mmm.”


    Her <b>soft </b>l*ps were sealed by his, eyshes fluttering, breath mingling.


    Her heart tingled, her eyes watery and misted with the reflection of his twinkling gaze, like the a stirred pool of spring water.


    Gasps of surprise sounded from around them!


    So high profile! They were too high profile!


    <b>Jareth </b>pampered Mari! Too pampered!


    The idea that, <b>“</b><b>deeply </b><b>loved </b>person keeps their heart concealed and seldom speaks<b>; </b>someone longed for exists in dreams, not in <b>reality </b>is utter<b>” </b><b>was </b>utterly nonsense<b>! </b>


    True love should be boldly dered, letting the whole world know of her existence.


    After all, they were in public<b>, </b>under the <b>scrutiny </b>of countless eyes, so Jareth kept the k*ss modest<b>, </b>mostly out of fear <b>he </b>might lose control <b>– </b>how could he endure the long hours <b>ahead </b><b>otherwise</b><b>? </b>


    As their l*ps parted<b>, </b><b>Mari’s </b>cheeks were flushed <b>from </b>the k*ss, making her look even more charmingly adorable.


    <b>“</b>Mr. <b>Thaddeus</b>, is there any excitement <b>to </b>watch tonight<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    Jareth asked<b>, </b><b>an </b><b>arm </b>still slung over <b>his </b>petite wife’s shoulder, <b>a </b>yful arch in <b>his </b><b>brow</b>. “I’m here to show my wife the world.”


    Just as Thaddeus was about to reply<b>, </b><b>a </b>beam <b>of </b><b>bright </b><b>light </b>cut across the distance.


    A luxurious Bentley pulled to a stop.


    A dapper young man stepped out, his <b>every </b><b>move </b>exuding <b>an </b>air of <b>elegance </b>and nobility, hinting at his status.


    After standing firm, he adjusted his bowtie<b>, </b><b>then </b><b>gracefully </b>assisted <b>a </b>woman <b>in </b><b>a </b>glittering gold evening gown <b>out </b><b>of </b>the car <b>– </b>who was shining like a disco ball.


    It was none other <b>than </b>Edith!
