His Ex-Wife is A Billionaire - Season 2 Episode 53

The crowd gasped, followed by an even louder and more excited applause than before! Jareth looked at Thaddeus in shock, worry evident in his gaze. Thaddeus stood still. The cold aura was emanating from his body, as if people touched him would freeze instantly. At that moment, a spotlight shone on Thaddeus, making his pale face even more noticeable. “Acacia and Thaddeus have been friends since childhood, they’ve been through a lot and now they’re finally getting married. We, the Abernathy family, are thrilled and want to share this good news with everyone at this birthday banquet!” Elspeth held Acacia’s hand tightly, her joyful expression and poetic tone made it feel like they were at the upcoming wedding! Acacia blushed with a shy smile in her eyes. She looked lovingly at Thaddeus on stage, thinking his expressionless face was due to nerves. Meanwhile, on the other side… Evadne was busy making cream mushroom soup for Mr. Hamiltion and Marilla in the kitchen. “Oh no! Something’s happened!” Marilla ran in from outside, her face pale and hands shaking. What happened? “Mr. Hamiltion. Mr. Hamiltion has fainted!” Marilla was so anxious that she was about to cry. “What?!” Evadne’s pupils contracted and her heart was hammering., She quickly dropped her kitchen utensils and ran out of the kitchen. In the living room, Hamiltion was lying on the floor. His widened eyes were staring at the ceiling, his limbs twitching weakly, and he was foaming at the mouth! Evadne gasped. It was obviously an acute stroke!

“Mr. Hamiltion! I’ve called an ambulance, hang in there!” Mr. Murray was extremely anxious, almost crying.

“Don’t panic, Mr. Murray! I won’t let anything happen to Mr. Hamiltion!” Evadne clenched her teeth, quickly knelt beside Hamiltion, and started to administer first aid. Mr. Murray and Marilla were stunned. She’s almost a doctor and what she missed was just a medical uniform! “Mr. Murray, is grandpa’s first aid kit still here?” Evadne’s forehead was covered in sweat and her tone was anxious. “Yes!” “Bring it quickly!” Evadne took a deep breath, her eyes full of anxiety, “We can’t wait for the ambulance to arrive. The clock is ticking. I need to treat grandpa and save him during the golden hour!” She was an expert at fighting with the Grim Reaper! At the banquet. Acacia and Elspeth’s actions had pushed the birthday party to its climax! All the ladies at the event were casting envious and jealous glances at Acacia on stage who looked like a princess. “Why does Acacia have such good luck to marry Mr. Thaddeus? I’m so jealous!” “Do you see her loose wedding dress? Could she be pregnant? It’s quite common in wealthy families to get pregnant before marriage!” “Now that you mention it, it’s possible! I thought her wedding dress was a bit loose when Acacia first came out, it’s very likely!” “Pregnant before marriage? How can that be true love? She’s cutting corners, which is really contemptible.” “If playing tricks can get me married to Mr. Thaddeus, then I’m willing! This is really a big win!” Acacia didn’t ignore the whispers of the ladies below the stage. But she still held her head high like a noble swan. She was not angry at all, but more confident. “You guys just keep talking, go ahead! My fabulous life is just beginning, and you guys can only look up to me!” She thought.

“Thad! Look at this!” Jareth stared at the trending topic on Twitter and handed his phone to Thaddeus. The top trend was Thaddeus and Acacia’s engagement. “Thad, I’m totally lost, you know?” Jareth looked shocked and asked anxiously, “Didn’t you tell me you were going to break up with Acacia? How come Elspeth announced your engagement? And it immediately hit the trends! Mr. Frederic doesn’t seem to be against it, so what’s going on? Did you guys break up or not?” Thaddeus’ ears were buzzing, and his back under his suit was taut. The pent-up frustration in his chest was hard to suppress! Suddenly- The huge screen, which was originally a beautiful pink with fluttering flowers, suddenly plunged into harsh darkness. “What’s going on?” “Is it a power outage? Or is the screen broken?” Just as people were puzzled, the screen suddenly lit up. However, what replaced it was a photo of a little girl! The girl in the photo was thin and small, her hair messy, her clothes ragged, and she was crying. It was heartbreaking to look at. “Oh my G od! Who’s child is this? She’s such a poor little girl!” “Yes! Is Ms. Acacia using this birthday banquet to raise charity money? Then I must donate. I’m very enthusiastic about charity!” Hearing the discussion below the stage, Acacia and Una realized something was wrong and quickly turned to look at the screen. “What’s…what’s going on?” Una looked surprised. “Who’s this dirty child? How could such a photo appear at my birthday banquet? Is there some mistake?”

Acacia opened her mouth wide, staring blankly at the girl on the screen. Meanwhile, Una had turned pale below the stage. She jumped up from her chair, pointing at the screen and yelling, “What’s going on?! Turn it off! Turn the screen off quickly!” People around were surprised and looked at her. Frederic and Mr. Stirling were both confused, they didn’t understand why a screen malfunction could cause such an exaggerated reaction from her. “Why turn off the screen?” Suddenly, George’s rough and h oa rse voice came from somewhere below the stage. Acacia looked in the direction of the voice. When she saw George’s face, she was so startled she almost screamed! Acacia broke out in a cold sweat, soaking her expensive designer dress. Her legs were shaking uncontrollably. Her carefully applied makeup made her face look like a stiff mask that was unable to express any emotion. George stepped into the light. Rugged George quickly caught everyone’s attention. “We should be together as a family. While y’all are here, enjoying your fine food and wine, this poor kid is being abused and humiliated in the orphanage, starving and freezing. As her mother, Acacia, doesn’t it break your heart?”
