His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 745

    <b>Chapter </b><b>745 </b>


    Glynnis was ranting and raving in front of Mari like a rabid dog, spewing venom with every word, her actions serving as an unwitting confession of her own downfall.


    For a moment, Mari’s clear, doe–like eyes widened in shock. It was then she noticed the hearing aids hanging on Glynnis‘ ears, previously obscured by her hair, which Mari hadn’t seen clearly.


    “You bitch. I may be deaf, but I won’t let you get off easy before I leave. I’ll make you deaf too!”


    No sooner had the words left her mouth than Glynnis, with a surge of fury, drew back her arm and aimed a wrath–filled blow at Mari’s face!


    Unexpectedly, the sister who had once been her victim nimbly dodged aside. Then with a sharp crack, Mari, in a reflexive move she had never made before, pped Glynnis across the cheek!


    Even the passing servants froze in shock, followed by a surge of secret satisfaction. Ms. Mari Abernathy was finally standing up for herself. It looked like she would be the one calling the shots for the Abernathy family!


    “Ah<b>!</b><b>” </b>Glynnis howled, clutching her face.


    This was the first time Mari had ever hit someone. It might not have hurt much, but her pride was shattered.


    “Sis<b>, </b><b>no</b>, you’re not my sister.”


    Mari curled her fingers and shook her head gently, “The moment you betrayed me, you ceased to be my sister. But I won’t resent or hate you anymore because you’re not worth it. With <b>that </b>p, we’re even.”


    “Even? Ha! Our feud willst a lifetime! I’ll fight you to the end!”


    Glynnis‘ face turned beet red with suppressed rage, and she lunged at Mari again with ws bared!


    This time Mari couldn’t dodge in time. She instinctively hunched her shoulders when <b>a </b>tall, imposing <b>figure </b>stepped <b>in </b><b>front </b>of her, shoving Glynnis away with force.


    <b>Glynnis fell </b>hard <b>on </b>the ground, unable to <b>get </b>up from the pain in her backside!


    “Th–<b>Thaddeus</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>


    Mari gazed <b>up at </b><b>Thaddeus</b>‘ reassuring silhouette, her tense heart <b>finally </b>rxing.


    Glynnis stared <b>in </b><b>horror </b><b>at </b><b>the </b><b>man’s </b>stern <b>face</b><b>, </b>scooting backward <b>on </b><b>the </b><b>floor</b>.


    “A leopard <b>can’t </b><b>change </b><b>its </b><b>spots</b><b>,</b><b>” </b><b>Thaddeus looked </b><b>at </b>her <b>coldly</b>, <b>shielding </b>Mari <b>behind </b><b>him</b>.


    “Thaddeus, <b>why </b><b>don’t </b><b>you </b><b>go </b><b>flex </b><b>your </b><b>muscles </b>with <b>the </b>Fairhaven Group<b>, </b><b>huh</b><b>?! </b>What kind of hero <b>are </b>you, <b>bullying </b><b>a </b>defenseless woman<b>?!</b><b>” </b>Glynnis‘ <b>voice </b>trembled <b>with </b>fear<b>, </b><b>yet she </b><b>couldn’t </b>muster aeback.


    Because her <b>pride </b><b>wouldn’t </b><b>let </b>her <b>swallow </b><b>the </b>insult<b>! </b>


    “I never wanted <b>to </b><b>be </b>a <b>hero</b>. <b>I </b>just <b>wanted </b><b>to </b><b>protect </b><b>my </b>sister; <b>that’s </b><b>all</b><b>,</b><b>” </b>Thaddeus <b>said </b><b>indifferently</b>, his <b>eyes </b>softening <b>only </b><b>for </b>Mari.


    Glynnis watched this bitterly ironic scene unfold<b>, </b>her heart a <b>mix </b>of <b>anger</b><b>, </b><b>jealousy</b><b>, </b><b>and </b>pain. She had never truly epted Thaddeus as her <b>brother</b><b>, </b><b>but both </b><b>she </b><b>and </b>Mari hade from their mother <b>Elspeth</b>, so why <b>did </b>he only care for this fool, never once <b>truly </b>treating her as a sister?


    “<b>All </b>your <b>bank </b>cards have been frozen. <b>Once </b><b>you’re </b>abroad, you’ll receive a <b>monthly </b>allowance of a <b>thousand </b>dors. Don’t even <b>think </b>about asking <b>Dad </b>for more; he <b>won’t </b><b>give </b><b>it </b><b>to </b><b>you</b>. <b>And </b>even <b>if </b>he does, I’ll <b>be </b>monitoring your ounts monthly. <b>Any </b>suspicious transactions, <b>and </b>I’ll freeze them instantly<b>,</b><b>” </b>Thaddeus‘ gaze was icy, crushing her hopes mercilessly<b>. </b>


    Glynnis <b>pounded </b><b>the </b>floor in frustration<b>, </b><b>“</b>Thaddeus, you might as well kill <b>me</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>


    A <b>thousand </b>bucks? What a joke! <b>That </b>wouldn’t even cover <b>one </b>hair treatment!


    Thaddeus wrapped his arm around his sister’s delicate shoulders and turned to leave, “It’s hard to go from <b>luxury </b>to frugality, but you’ll get used to it.”


    “Ha! I might be beaten, but you’re no better off!” Glynnis‘ mockingughter pierced their backs, her face twisted in malice, “Mari, such a pure maiden, yed by your dear friend Jareth until she’s worthless, tainted in body and ruined in reputation at Elmsworth. And after all that, still rejected by the Fairhaven Group as a fool, her dreams of marrying Jareth shattered! What a fool’s errand!”


    Thaddeus‘ features tightened, gripping Mari’s trembling shoulder.


    “She’s been deemed damaged, but your dear friend Jareth is no better off<b>!</b>”


    Glynnis‘ shouts, amplified by her hearing loss, drew the Abernathy family’s servants to watch, “He tried every trick in the book to marry Mari, but in the end, he got nothing, didn’t he?


    Jareth must be furious now! Ha! I wanted him to taste the agony of never getting what he desires. That’s my sweet revenge! What I can’t have, neither can he!”


    Her words, each one sharp as frost and de, pierced Mari’s heart, squeezing it with pain.


    “The current turmoil is only temporary.” Thaddeus‘ jaw clenched, “As long as they still love each other in their hearts, no one, nothing can tear them apart.”


    “Really? We’ll see about that.”


    Glynnis stumbled to her feet, “I saw it with my own eyes, Mr. and Mrs. Bartleying to Dad with a marriage proposal for their son Alston!”


    <b>“</b>What did you say?<i>” </i>Thaddeus spun around sharply.


    Mari clutched the teddy bear in her arms, her brow beading with sweat, her heartbeat thundering.


    “<b>Oh</b><b>, </b>so there are things even the all–knowing Mr. Abernathy doesn’t <b>know</b>.”


    Glynnis sneered with malicious glee, <b>“</b>I said, the Bartley family has taken a fancy to Mari. They don’t mind that she’s a simpleton, begging Dad to let her be their son’s bride. If Dad agrees to this match, and


    Mari marries Alston, then your dear friend won’t stand a chance. Tsk, tsk, Mari, I never realized you were


    <b>so </b>charming. <b>I </b><b>thought </b>only Jareth <b>had </b>lost his senses over <b>you</b><b>, </b>but Alston’s caught your spell too. Quite the <b>vixen</b><b>, </b>aren’t <b>you</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>
