His Ex-Wife is A Billionaire - Season 1 Episode 57

Evadne felt a chill in her heart, watching him lose it over Acacia. “Just now, Ms. Acacia was at home crying your name, her emotions everywhere. The lady wants you to check on her, and she’s afraid Ms. Acacia might do something rash,” Before Gordon could finish his sentence, Thaddeus was already on his feet, bolting out of the dining room. “You heartless, ungrateful brat! If you go after that woman, you’re no grandson of minel” Hamilton angrily pounded the table. But it was already too late. Thaddeus’s proud and distinguished figure disappeared from his view. “Ah, what a calamity! All my countless efforts throughout my life haven’t changed Thaddeus’s mind. It’s all because I’m powerless!” Hamilton hit his chest in pain, feeling more than just guilt towards Evadne. Evadne looked lost. She gave a small smile, her cold hand gently stroking her grandfather’s weathered hand. “Grandpa, don’t say that. You’ve done so much for me, and it’s just Thaddeus and I weren’t meant to be.” Thaddeus was about to get into his car outside the villa, his mind fraught with worry. “Mr. Thaddeus!” He stopped in his tracks, turning to see llana, who had chased him out, her eyes glinting with a cold light under the bright lamp. A pang of guilt hit him. He was about to say something, but she beat him to it. “Your sister insulted one of my hotel staff tonight, causing the girl to have a seizure. Please go tell your sister that I won’t let this slide, and she needs to explain to that girl.” Thaddeus’s brow furrowed and he hadn’t expected her to bring this up. His hopeful gaze faded. “Glynnis might be my sister, but I don’t meddle in her personal affairs.” “I see, so Mr. Thaddeus considers this a personal issue. Got it.”

With that, Evadne gave a cold smile, turned around, and walked back into the villa, not sparing Thaddeus another glance. Thaddeus felt a chill, and his entire body felt cold.

Was she mocking him? That night, Thaddeus went to see Acacia, who was suffering from “severe depression”. He didn’t return until the wee hours. Although Ilana’s matter had put some distance between him and Acacia, when he saw her depression diagnosis report, it still managed to touch the softest corner of his heart. Depression was a knot in his heart he couldn’t untangle. “Mr. Thaddeus, there’s a situation. Do you want to handle it?” Gordon asked hesitantly, phone in hand. “What is it?” Thaddeus closed his eyes to rest. “The video of your sister insulting the waitress at the hotel has been posted online. The PR team spotted it right away. They’re worried it might tarnish the Abernathy Group’s image, so they wanted to know your thoughts.” “Delete it.” Thaddeus slightly parted his thin lips, his eyes narrowing, “Glynnis’s personal issues can’t affect the company. Make sure it’s cleaned up.” “Understood, Mr. Thaddeus!” Back at the villa, Thaddeus was just about to head upstairs when he saw Alva in her nightgown, looking worried. “Alva, didn’t I tell you not to wait up for me? I might be busy.” Thaddeus felt a rare warmth in his heart. Alva had always been like this since they were kids. Unless he explicitly said he wouldn’t be back, she would wait up for him like a mother. But Alva was getting on in years, and her health was not what it used to be. So, for the past three years, Ilana had taken over the responsibility of looking after Thaddeus. waiting for him every night. “Thaddeus, have you eaten? I saved some food for you, and it’s still warm. Could you try to sleep

earlier next time? Your constant headaches might be due to staying up late. Both your body and mind need rest to stay healthy. You may not want to hear this, but I must say it. Because I want you to be healthy, I don’t want you to get sick. Can I not wait for you just because you say so? I’m just a ser vant, not family,” Alva sighed with resentment, “Ah, if only Ilana were still here, I could save some energy as an old woman. She took care of you wholeheartedly every day. I saw with my own eyes how Ilana’s skin was as smooth as an egg when she married you, but she became so thin because of you. It’s heartbreaking. You’re just unlucky.” Thaddeus’s vision blurred, llana’s clear, bright, and slightly aggrieved eyes surfaced in his mind. He might never get such care again. It would be a lie to say he wasn’t sad. “Ilana isn’t my luck, she’s my disaster.” Thaddeus walked back into his bedroom with a gloomy face, only to see a box on the table. He recognized it as the tailor’s box, thinking that the suit should have been repaired by now. He walked over and opened the box. Inside the box, the high-quality suit lay quietly, The shirt was refurbished, and there were barely any signs of wear. Honestly a masterful job. A satisfied smile spread across Thaddeus’s face. “Thaddeus, you still have feelings for Ilana, don’t you,” Alva asked, seeing him look at the suit with such delight. “Things don’t make mistakes, and it took a lot of effort to make, can’t waste it,” Thaddeus replied coldly, his fingers lightly brushing the smooth collar. 1/2 11:25 “The effort itana put in for you is more than just this.” Alva sighed, her eyes filled with sadness, ‘Come with me,” They went to the room Hana used to stay in Alva expertly opened the wardrobe door in the corner, “Take a look.”

Inside the tall wardrobe, shelves upon shelves were neatly filled with boxes of different colors that Ilana had arranged. Thaddeus was stunned, “This is? “These are all the gifts that Hana has prepared for you over the past three years,” Thaddeus trembled slightly as if he’d been struck by lightning. “These are your birthday gifts, Valentine’s Day gifts, wedding anniversary gifts. She even said there’s also a gift for the anniversary of the first time you met. Even if it’s an unimportant day, as long as it’s about you, she’d get you a gift. Even though she knew that you didn’t really care about these gifts, she still insisted on preparing them with att her heart, as if she was trying to make peace with her sell,” Thaddeus tell a sourness in his heart. “I can’t judge Ms. Acacia’s feelings for you, but madame’s love for you is bone -de ep. I’ve always sided with Madame, I’ve never been a fan of 1Ms. Acacia,” Just thinking about Acacia’s pretentiousness pis sed Alva off, “I may be just a maid, but I’m not clueless. I heard that necklace you gave Ms. Acacia is being auctioned off by the Stirling family, is that true? You put so much effort into making that necklace for Ms. Acacia, and they casually sell it off? And Ms. Acacia didn’t stop then?” “Alva, can we not talk about this anymore?” Thaddeus took a deep breath, trying to interrupt her, “Do you know how much madame loved that necklace? Do you know how envious she was when she heard you were giving that necklace to Ms. Acacia? Alva’s voice trembled, as if defending Ilana. Thaddeus stood up abruptly, clutching something tightly in his hand, She cried. That woman cried secretly because she couldn’t get a necklace, Alva took a delicate box from the cupboard and opened it before him. Suddenly, Thaddeus felt as if his blood had frozen, and he was stunned, Every item inside belonged to him, some he’d even forgotten about. The crystal cufflinks he’d lost accidentally, the tie he no longer needed, and the lighter he hadn’t used in ages. She’d collected them all.

“If it were madame, she’d treasure every gift you gave, and she’d even collect things you no longer needed, She’d never easily give up your gifts!” “Acacia didn’t know about the necklace being sold. If she did, she’d definitely stop it.” Thaddeus clenched his fists, his chest filled with bitterness. He didn’t know if he was making excuses for himself or for Acacia, “Hah, you can’t wake a person who is pretending to sleep.” Alva shook her head in disappointment, sighed, and left. Leaving Thaddeus standing there alone with a whirlwind of emotions. Turned out, in those three years she was married to him, her virtuousness, gentleness, and generosity were all an act. She wasn’t without temper, and she cared, and she was jealous. She just swallowed all the pain and unhappiness. She used to care so much. Why can’t he find that in her indifferent eyes now? Thaddeus gritted his teeth, his face full of resentment.
