His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire Chapter 16

Chapter 16
“Hey, who’s that guy next to the pretty girl? Don’t tell me it’s Cas sius, the CEO of the K Group from Skyrim.”
Jareth raised an eyebrow, “I always heard Cas sius was a high-minded guy who never went to parties like this. I didn’t expect him to show up tonight.”
It’s not surprising that Thaddeus and Jareth got it all wrong.
Because Evadne had four brothers, all quadruplets. Cas sius and Arnold, in particular, look so similar that they’re easy to mix up if you’re not
familiar.
“I’m green with envy. Such a knockout should be mine. What’s the point of being with Cas sius? He’s nowhere near as fun as me!” Jareth was getting carried away.
Downstairs, llana, her smile sweet as honey, directed at that man.
Thaddeus felt a sudden suffocation in his heart.
Once upon a time, that smile was his alone.
What pi ssed him off more was that all the negative news seemed to have no effect on her, she was still in the mood to be happy.
Meanwhile, he was like a walking ball of stress, either busy handling problems or thinking about how to explain things to her.
“Maybe tonight, I’ll sweep her off her feet. I don’t care if she’s Cas sius’ woman.” Jareth licked his lips in anticipation.
“Knock it off. She’s my wife.”
Jareth’s eyes widened in surprise, “What?!”
“Ex-wife,” Thaddeus added, the words felt like a thorn in his throat, causing a painful burn.
“What are you talking about?! She’s your cold-hearted ex-wife?! Are you blind or just plain dumb? She’s a total babe, way better than your Acacia!”
Thaddeus gave Jareth a cold glance, Jareth immediately shut up, “I only said that because I saw her. You never let me meet her before, I thought she was as ugly as a dragon, didn’t expect…where are you going?!”
Before he could finish, Thaddeus stormed out of the door.
On the other side, Evadne and Arnold had already had three drinks, her cheeks as red as ripe peaches.
“Evadne, are you okay?” Arnold asked, noticing her tipsy state.
“Another round! Let’s play dice!” Evadne’s alcohol tolerance was decent, but she was slightly annoyed, hence the quick intoxication.
Just then, Arnold’s phone rang. It was a call he had to take, possibly an important task, so he said, “Evadne, wait for me, I’ll be back soon after this call.”
Evadne waved him off casually, “Sure!”
Once Arnold left, the men around her, like sharks smelling blood, started moving closer.
Evadne lazily surveyed them, as though she was picking out merchandise.
This one’s too short, that one’s too skinny, this one’s nose is too flat, that one’s eyes are too small…
None of these men could compare to her ex-husband.
Pity that the handsome man turned out to be all talk, dashing all her hopes and passion.
Then, Evadne noticed a group of rich kids playing in a corner, one of them pouring drinks for a girl.
The man with the oily face was Acacia’s brother, Ives!
What upset her more was that her sharp eyes spotted one of the men discreetly slipping something into the drink and passing it to Ives.
She was immediately furious and made a beeline for them.
“Wow! A beauty is coming!” The rich kids drooled at the sight of Evadne.
Ives lost interest in the girl in his arms as soon as he saw her.
“You guys seem to be having fun, mind if I join?” Evadne’s eyes were alluring, adding to her charm.
“Babe, I can accompany you however you want to play.” Ives licked his lips lasciviously.
Evadne picked up the spi ked drink, “Simple, drink this.”
Everyone went quiet. Ives’ greasy face darkened.

Everyone knew the drink was spi ked with a strong sedative, only a fool would drink it!
“You don’t want to drink? Then I’ll help you!”
And then Evadne, her eyes sharp, tossed the whole drink at Ives’ face!
Everyone was stunned. The girl squealed in fright and moved away.
“You bi tch! How dare you splash me?! Do you know who I am?” Ives cursed, wiping his face.
“I don’t care who you are. Your mouth stinks like an as shole, you’re getting girls drunk and slipping them drugs, you’re worse than a dog.” Evadne casually brushed her hair back, her gaze cold.
Ives was fuming, this woman had the nerve to say his mouth stinks like an as shole!
If it wasn’t for the crowd, he’d have rushed up and slapped this cun ning woman!
Just then, two bodyguards from the Stirling family appeared. Ives gave them a sidelong look, ordering them to take her away.
He had to punish this woman, but before that, he wanted to have some fun with her in bed, that would be making the most out of it!
Two burly bodyguards lunged at her. Evadne, although slightly drunk, dodged nimbly, leaving them sprawling on the floor.
“You guys are too slow.” Evadne yawned.
“Grab her!” Ives shouted, still wiping his face.
One of the bodyguards tried to grab Evadne’s shoulder.
But then, a tall figure stepped in front of her, grabbed the bodyguard’s arm and flipped him over.
The burly bodyguard was thrown to the ground in a blink of an eye!
“Nice moves! *hic*” Evadne hiccupped, then slumped backwards.
Suddenly, a strong hand caught her waist, she felt the man’s deep breath on her cheek, so hot, so ticklish.
“Mmm…who is it, don’t touch me!” Evadne struggled a bit.
‘llana, open your eyes and see who I am.”
Evadne heard a familiar voice, cold, magnetic, but captivating.
Evadne’s heart raced as she slowly looked up into Thaddeus’ cold but charming eyes.
His gaze was slightly narrowed, deepening in color.
He saw her fiery red lips, incredibly seductive, if not for her clear and innocent eyes, he would hardly believe this was the Ilana he had been married to for three years.
“Ilana, you’re getting bolder, huh? Got Cas sius backing you up so you think you can stir the pot everywhere?”
“Yeah, got a problem with that?”
Evadne, with a coquettish tone, said, “Every time I see someone from the Stirling family, I feel like giving them a good smack. Got an issue with that? Your opinion doesn’t bother me one bit!”
Thaddeus, holding her waist, tightened his grip as if to punish her.
‘Ouch…let go of me…”
Evadne thrummed in his arms, her voice soft because her new anger had made her even more drunk. What sane man could resist such a
situation?
Thaddeus’ eyes darkened.
“Thaddeus? Aren’t you Acacia’s husband now?” Ives was taken aback.
“Mr. Ives, what are you talking about?” Thaddeus glared at him coldly. “One more time, Acacia and I aren’t officially married yet. How could you say something like that? Is that appropriate?”
Ives choked on his words.
Hearing their conversation, Evadne felt nauseous.
She deeply loathed Acacia, and also Thaddeus’ affectionate address.
Throughout their three years of marriage, he had always called her name indifferently, never with any affection.
The more Evadne thought about it, the more upset she became. So she struggled free from his arm with all her might, preferring to stand unsteadily than let this man touch her.
“Apologize to her.” Thaddeus’ tone was completely commanding.
His words were directed at Ives, but his gaze never left Evadne.

After all, her drunken state was quite severe now.
“It was this woman who came over for no reason, splashed wine on my face, and attacked me! She should apologize to me!” Ives retorted, clearly disgruntled.
“Show some respect.” Thaddeus’ eyes suddenly became serious, “She’s my ex-wife.”
