His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 223

in the blink of an eye, it was the day K Orld Hotel hosted the charity jewelry auction

This event being tied to charity, received a lot of attention from the Elmsworth media despite not much prior advertisement from K Orld Hotel and Ethereal Vogue magazine

Ethereal Vogue was an internationally renowned fashion magazine. Countless celebrities had battled fiercely for a chance to feature on its cover, which was a testament to its influence The day was bustling with celebrities. The hotel’s security team was on full alert to maintain order. Celebrities greeted ther fans before swiftly entering the venue to avoid any chaos that might lead to stampedes

The atmosphere stirred again when an impressive, stretched Lincoln pulled up

The bodyguards opened the door, and out stepped Elspeth and Glynnis, dressed in lavish evening gowns

Unlike other wealthy ladies and heiresses who entered through the back door or private entrances, these two were always seeking the limelight, as if they would stop growing if they weren’t caught in the flash of the cameras every now and then

“Hey, int that Acacia’s aunt?’ Someone shouted, the words penetrating Elspeth’s ears across the crowd. Her face turned green instantly

She had spent years shaking off labels like washed-up actress” and “home wrecker only to be associated with Acacia, a notorious troublemaker, and labeled as Acacia’s aunt. Regardless of the fact that the indeed was Acacia’s aunt, it sounded more like an insult now

As more people chimed in, Elspeth’s face turned from red to black. If it wasn’t for Glynnis supporting her, she wouldn’t have been able to walk

Elspeth thought that people would have forgotten about the incident by now. But she realized that some humiliations were etched into her identity. Her carefully protected self esteem had been obliterated by that wretched Acacia

Amidst the jeers, Elspeth and Glynnis entered the hotel, their faces ashan.

“Mom, please try to keep a low profile and avoid public appearances,” Glynnis muttered unhappily. “You become the butt of all jokes, and I become one by proxy. It’s really embarrassing” “Glynnis You ungrateful child! Are you ashamed of your mother? Elspeth snapped, pinching her daughter’s arm hard enough to make her break out in cold sweat once walked into the Abernathy family with you in my belly, endured humiliations and disdain, and didn’t feel embarrassed. And now how can you be embarrassed by me?

I hadn’t thrown away my dignity and fought tooth and nail for your father, would you be the heiress of the Abernathy Group? Could you lead the extravagant life you do now? You ungrateful brat

Glynnis clutched her bruised arm, wishing she could escape from her mother’s onslaught of words

The evening’s event was divided into two parts a cocktail party and an auction. The cocktail party was a dazzling gathering of familiar faces, almost like half the entertainment industry had come to show their support.

Evadne, as the hotel’s general manager and the person in charge of the charity event, was naturally interviewed by the media.

With cameras and microphones in her face, she handled the situation with grace.

President Ashbourne, Ada has chosen Abernathy Hotel as her wedding venue Now, hosting Ethereal Vogue’s charity event, are you trying to compete with the Abernathy Group?” asked a

reporter

Tunderstand why people might think that way, since we’ve always been in competition with the Abernathy Group, Evadne responded with a calm smile. “But Ethereal Vogue chose us for this event. Everything happened by chance

“Why did Ada change her mind about having her wedding at K Orld Hotel and chose Abernathy Hotel instead? Was there a problem?”

“That involves a contract and is a business secret of the hotel, so I cant disclose it, Evadne replied

“Was it because her wedding venue was leaked that Ada decided to cancel her contract with you and switch to the Abernathy Group?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Evadnes eyes darkened, a cool smile on her face. This reporter was quite problematic. Clearly, someone had planted him here.

Meanwhile, in a corner, Edith was sipping champagne, watching Evadne being surrounded by reporters with a malicious smile. The pesky reporter was her doing

Even if it couldn’t shake the earth, but thoroughly annoying Evadne and drawing more criticism her way wouldn’t be entirely fruitless

At this moment, Elspeth and Glynnis made their way over

As the one holding the trump card, Glynnis no longer trembled before Evadne instead she was brimming with confidence

What you said is right, it’s indeed because of this issue,” Evadnes lips curved into a serious expression, her smile vanishing.

Everyone gasped!

Edith frowned. She never expected that Evadne would not make any excuses or evade the question, but instead, would answer it honestly

What kind of tactic was this? She was at a loss!

“Ladies and gentlemen, let’s not make it harder for Ms. Evadne,” Elspeth said, “She’s already up to her neck dealing with the breach of contract issues of her hotel

Glynnsted her chin slightly, a smug smile on her face. However, Ms. Evadne, don’t be discouraged. Try again next time. The issues that you couldn’t handle this time, we, the Abernathy Group, will take them as a lesson, and we won’t make the same mistakes. We will definitely meet the clients needs and do a great job in keeping information confidential”
