His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1104

“Ms. Alexia has been seen with Mr. Abernathy frequently and quite publicly. Rumors are flying that she’s his new flame!”

“You and Mr. Abernathy just broke up, and he already has a new woman by his side. It seems like a seamless transition. Were they together before you split?”

Evadne’s fingers curled into tight fists. A cold dread, like a venomous snake, slithered up her legs. She forced herself to remain composed, her sharp gaze locking onto the reporter who had asked the question. He flinched under her stare and shrank back into the crowd.

“I will say this one more time, and it will be the last time,” she declared, her voice steady. “My breakup with Mr. Abernathy was amicable and had nothing to do with anyone else. We were together for many years. Even though we are no longer a couple, I still consider him a friend, and I will defend his reputation. I will not allow anyone to slander him or malign his character. No one knows better than I do what a good man he is…”

As she spoke, her eyes grew misty. She fought back a sob, forcing a smile so bright it was breathtaking. “So, from this moment on, if anyone spreads another rumor about Mr. Abernathy, you will be hearing from my lawyer.”

The reporters exchanged uneasy glances. The one who had spoken out of turn was now trembling.

Evadne took a deep breath and tried to push forward, desperate to escape. But the crowd was too thick, and she could barely move. The air around her felt thin, suffocating.

Just then, a low, magnetic voice cut through the clamor.

“Excuse me, please make way.”

Everyone turned, their expressions morphing into shock. Evadne looked toward the source of the voice, and her eyes widened.

Bathed in the brilliant lights of the corridor, Chad Abernathy stood tall and elegant, his handsome face gentle and refined. Dressed impeccably in a tailored suit, he parted the crowd and walked directly toward her.
