Chapter 79

In the backyard, Elvis was briskly heading towards his Lamborghini, his eyes icy cold.

“Elvis!” Evadne quickly caught up with him, tightly gripping his hand. “Where on earth are you going?!”

“I’m heading somewhere far away from here, hopefully never to return.” Elvis spun around, a cold smirk on his face that was marred by a fresh slap mark.

“Elvis, you once said that what you value most are your three brothers and me. We are here, and this is your home. How can you just say you won’t come back and mean it?” Evadne held onto Elvis’ hand, her heart aching as if it was being torn apart.

Elvis stared at his sister with deep eyes, softly touching her tender cheek. “You guys will always be in my heart. Evadne, I’ve fulfilled my promise to you. You’re not mad at me anymore, right?”

Evadne slowly nodded, suddenly feeling tears welling up in her eyes.

“If you truly want to respect Emeric, the best way is to let me disappear from his sight. I’ve got work to do, I have to go. I’ll come back to see you next time.”

“Elvis.” Suri rushed over, holding a bag in her hand.

Elvis was taken aback, then softly called out, “Suri.”

Suri’s eyes were rimmed with red, and it took all her courage to pa** over what she was holding.

“Elvis, in this bag…are some of the new medicines developed by our Bright group. They’re all potent and might help you. There are also some snacks, made by Myrie. She’s worried that you might get hungry on your long journey, and you can have these to fill your stomach.”

After speaking, Suri gave an awkward smile. “These are just small things, I hope you won’t find this annoying.”

Elvis’ eyelashes quivered slightly, his voice sounded gentle. “Thank you. I have everything I need where I’m going. Don’t worry about me. I have to go.”

With that, he gave Evadne a tight hug, then turned around and left. The Lamborghini sped away into the dark night. Evadne and Suri stood dumbstruck in the yard, both letting out a sigh.

“Let him go. Suri.” Evadne comfortingly patted her shoulder. “Elvis has done well. He needs some time to adapt to this way of communication.”

“I know, he’s protecting me.” A hint of pain flashed in Suri’s eyes. “Evadne, he doesn’t need to consider my feelings. I’m fine, really.”

Evadne fell silent.

Two years ago, a plane crash descended like a nightmare onto the entire Ashbourne family.

Suri’s eldest son, Evadne’s half-brother, and the chief pilot of an airline, Hubery, tried to save the lives of 150 pa**engers on flight H676. He made the final decision to guide the aircraft towards the sea when it suffered a major malfunction.

Hubery was submerged under the sea; the day he died was his 27th birthday.

Regarding matters of the heart, everyone had their opinion, but it was undeniable that Hubery was an admirable young man.

The Maybach returned to Elmsworth.

Gordon drove with fear, constantly checking Thaddeus’ expression through the rearview mirror. Thaddeus’ face was as rigid and cold as ice, and his l*ps were pale, as if all his blood had been drained.

“Mr. Frederic, are you alright? You look really uneasy…”

“Just drive.” Thaddeus’ eyes were red and swollen. He took a deep breath.

He arrived infuriated, thinking he had a solid reason, thinking this time he could definitely make Ilana submit. But what awaited him was an even more painful humiliation. The thing that was broken was not just the gem bracelet, but also the dignity he had carefully protected for over twenty years!

“Mr. Frederic, I’ll just say it…” Gordon was angry, but couldn’t help but say, “If you want Mrs. Abernathy to return to your side, you can tell the Ashbourne family directly that you two haven’t officially divorced. She’s still the wife of our Abernathy group’s CEO. I really can’t stand the attitude of those two women. They are not even llana’s biological mothers, what right do they have to boss you around?”

“So, in your opinion, I can only force Ilana to be with me through underhanded means?” Thaddeus retorted coldly.

“No… Mr. Frederic, that’s not what I meant!”

Gordon nervously wiped his sweat. “I just…I just want to say, since you still care about Mrs. Abernathy, why not be straight with her? Wouldn’t it be better to make her understand your feelings?”

“Feelings? Hah…” The man sneered, gritting his teeth. “I’ve made up my mind. I’ll never remarry Ilana!”

“But tonight…”

“Drive!”

Thaddeus’ voice was h oa rse as he yelled. Gordon was scared out of his wits, not daring to say more.

Thaddeus slumped in the back seat, suddenly feeling a sharp pain in his palm. Only then did he remember that he had been tightly clutching the fragments of the gem bracelet. At this moment, the fragments had cut his skin, and bright red blood was slowly seeping out, a shocking sight.

Thaddeus didn’t know what was wrong with him, but tonight, he desperately wanted to take Ilana away, to separate her from Cas sius. He just wanted them apart.

After sending Elvis off, Evadne went to comfort her father with Cas sius and Arnold, then finally dragged her tired b*dy out of the study. She stood alone in the hallway for a moment, then took out her phone and sent a message to Suri, Myra, and Aviana.

(Please come to the back garden. I have something to say.]

Fifteen minutes later, the three ladies arrived punctually.

The three women, who usually couldn’t shut up when they were together, were now completely quiet in front of Evadne.

“Nothing to say?”

Evadne was sitting on a garden bench, arms folded across her chest, looking all serious like a headmistress ready to scold a naughty student.

Suri was silent.

Myra was silent.

Aviana quickly blurted out, “Evadne, weren’t you the one who had something to say? Why are you asking us now?”

Evadne helplessly rubbed her forehead. Aviana’s thought process was even more straightforward than a man’s!

“Have you got nothing to tell me about how you guys lectured Thaddeus tonight?”

“Humph, I guess there’s even less to say about that.” Aviana sat opposite Evadne, looking as cool as a cucumber, like a boss lady.

“That’s why these two had stopped me. If nob*dy had stopped me, by our rules, I should’ve had Rudi severely punish the dude a long time ago,” Aviana said angrily.

“Who’s Rudi?” asks Evadne.

Suri piped up. “That’s Aviana’s pet alligator. It was a birthday gift from Emeric last year.”

Evadne was speechless.

Seeing her unhappy face, Myra quickly stepped in to calm Aviana, “Alright, Aviana, stop talking now…”

“Every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart. We should always be honest with family!” Aviana’s eyes welled up with tears, and she said angrily. “Thaddeus is so heartless! He’s even worse than Rudi! You’re his wife, and you’ve given up so much for him, even your privileged life, to take care of him. But for his own sake, he forces you to divorce and immediately marries another woman! He treats you so cruelly, I wish Go d would punish him!”

“He doesn’t love me, he’s made that very clear. Now, he’s marrying the woman he loves, and it is meant to be. I can only accept my defeat and bow out gracefully. You guys don’t need to complicate things between him and me because of this. It would only add to the trouble.” Evadne rubbed her temples, looking pale. “If I keep clinging onto him, the pain will torment me constantly. So, it’s best to be distant…”

“What are you talking about!” Aviana roared, standing up abruptly and grabbing Evadne’s shoulders. “How could you be distant? You’re the woman who once carried his child!”

Evadne’s face turned pale immediately. Aviana’s words were like a sharp knife, cutting open her heart. The pain started to spread, and it was unbearable.

“Aviana, have you lost your mind? We agreed not to mention this!” Suri yelled out in shock, quickly pulling her away.

“Aviana… can we not bring this up again? Let’s not talk about Evadne’s heartbreaking past…” Myra also chimed in.

‘He doesn’t know.” Evadne slowly lifted her head, holding back her tears. “I’ve never told Thaddeus that I was once carrying his child.”
