His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 430

Chapter 430 

Though Marilla had been regarded as someone ‘silly‘ by Glynnis from a young age, she was anything but. At the mention of “living together; her lean shoulders twitched, and the sweet taste of her freshly squeezed orange juice turned bitter on her l*ps. 

Jareth secretly held her small, cool hand, gripping it tightly, “Mr. Abernathy, I know I haven’t always been a saint in my personal life, but could you give me a chance to change, to start anew? Furthermore, I might have been a bit of a playboy, but I’ve never been crude. And I never brought any woman to my house before. Marilla is the first, and she will be the last.” 

“Jareth, what I mean is,” 

“I won’t beat around the bush. Now I can’t be without Marilla. 

Jareth’s chest was filled with a profound love for her. He k*ssed Manilla’s hand passionately, his gaze filled with an affection that was utterly captivating. “If I can’t see her for a day. I fear I might go mad.” 

deep, gentle voice echoed in Marilla’s ear, causing her heart to flutter like a feather was tickling it. 

She felt the same way. She didn’t want to be without Jareth. If she couldn’t see him, she couldn’t eat or drink; if she couldn’t hold him, she couldn’t sleep. 

ay these things 

Frederic’s cheeks blushed red. He’d seen all sorts of people in his life, but he’d never met anyone as loose as this! To say in front of an elder, it was far too shameless! 

“There is another reason why I don’t want Marilla to go back to Windermere Estate,” Jareth said, suddenly serious. 

Frederic was taken aback, “What reason?” 

Tm afraid Marilla might be bullied.” 

“What kind of nonsense is that? Frederic’s brows furrowed, adding to his confusion, “Marilla is my precious gem. Windermere Estate is her home. Who would dare to bully her here?” 

“Mr. Abernathy, you’re not often at home, so it’s understandable if you don’t know what’s happening in your own house. But you can’t assume that just because Marilla lives here, she is happy.” 

Jareth didn’t explicitly mention that Glynnis bullied Marilla. After all, Glynnis was also Frederic’s daughter. If Jareth accused her without any regard, he would be dishonoring his future father–in-law, making it impossible for him to save face. More importantly, he felt capable of protecting Marilla himself. 

Even if Frederic know everything, what could he do? He couldn’t even figure out what exactly his bestial wife had done, let alone confronting Glynnis. 

Dennis stood by, his l*ps sealed, his gaze filled with intrigue as he watched Frederic. 

Everyone in Windermere Estate knew that Glynnis had been suppressing and bullying Marilla for years. Even Elspeth, the woman who raised them, knew about it. Only Frederic, their biological father, was clueless! 

“Manila, who dares to bully you in this house?!” Frederic demanded, his gaze fixed on his timid daughter, struggling to contain his anger. 

Marilla’s forehead broke out in sweat. She opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word. 

Jareth felt her hand dampen in his. He quickly comforted her with his soft voice. “Marilla, don’t be afraid. You have me and your dad here. If you have any grievances or hardships, just say it, and we will back you up.” 

He sincerely hoped that Manilla could openly talk about Glynnis’s despicable acts. She should speak up to get justice for herself. 

Two grown men watched her intently. After a moment, Marilla finally managed to speak, “No, nob*dy bullies me.” 

“Marilla.” Jareth felt a wave of disappointment. But when his hand touched her thin back, he realized that her clothing was drenched in sweat. 

Jareth’s eyes darkened, his heart aching as if it had collapsed. He was pushing her too hard. He shouldn’t make her constantly think about her painful past or how to seek revenge. 

The woman he loved didn’t have to do anything. He could handle everything for her. 

“Was it your sister who bullied you?” 

Frederic’s sudden question pierced Marilla’s trembling heart like a sharp arrow. She lowered her head, her hands crumpling the hem of her dress, but remained silent. 

“Is that true? Has Glynnis been bullying you all this time? Tell me, I stand up for you” 

“Mr. Abernathy, you are well aware of Marilla’s situation. She’s not like Glynnis, who knows how to charm you. Sometimes, because Glynnis is family, Manilla is too kind–hearted to confront her. So, she lives cautiously, silently bearing all the humiliation.” 

Jareth couldn’t bear it any longer and chimed in, his eyes cold, “It’s been so many years. There’s no point in bringing up the past. 

Moreover you consider both of them as your precious daughters, don’t you?” 

His words did not blame Glynnis, but they were not far from doing so. 

Frederic’s face darkened considerably, his large hand clenched on his knee. 

Jareth slowly helped Marilla to her feet. His strong arm naturally sl*pped around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, holding her possessively. 

“All the past are behind us. I am willing to let it go for your sake, but the future is different. Now that Marilla and I are together, I will stand up for her in everything. If anyone dares to hurt her, no matter who her dad is, they will pay a bloody price.” 

After Jareth and Marilla left, the atmosphere in the study became stifling. Frederic could still feel the chilling air filling him with a sense of 

uffocation. 

“So, Jareth also knows that Glynnis has been bullying Marilla? Frederic looked at Dennis in bewilderment, his heart tightening,” overheard the servants talking about this. Even they know everything and I didn’t? As her father, I didn’t know.” 

Dennis sighed, “Mr. Abernathy, don’t beat yourself up too much. You’ve got a big house to run, a large corporation to manage; it’s only natural that you might drop the ball every now and then.” 

This was a clear concession. 

Frederic propped his elbows on the desk, clutching his head in anguish, “As a father, I’ve let Manilla down. I didn’t realize she was so unhappy at home.” 

“But that’s all in the past now, Mr. Abernathy, Miss Marilla has Jareth now, who cherishes her and protects her well. You can rest easy Dennis spoke earnestly, “Miss Marilla is growing up, she’s not a little girl anymore. You can’t keep her cooped up at home, not allowing her to socialize, not letting her experience the world. This isn’t good for her condition. And haven’t you noticed? After being with Jareth, Marilla is more cheerful, lively, and bright 

Frederic nodded slightly. Even he realized it had been a long time since he saw his youngest daughter laughing so brightly, Jareth was genuinely good to her, and she was genuinely happy. 

“Glynnis. Ive spoiled her rotten! She’s Marilla’s own sister; how could she act like this!” Frederic remembered how innocent and lovely Glynnis was when she was a child, now he was heartbroken! 

Dennis insinuated, “Mr. Abernathy, you should understand the saying ‘If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas.” 

Frederic’s eyes darkened, his jaw tightened. 

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Glynnis’s coquettish voice echoed, “Daddy, are you in there?” 

“Come in,” 

The door opened and Glynnis walked in with a radiant smile, holding a tray, “Daddy, I made a mistake today, I caused you trouble. I’ve prepared your favorite fruits and snacks as an apology. 

Please don’t be mad at me, okay?” 

Glynnis placed the fruits on the table, and tried to hug Frederic’s n*eck and act like a spoiled child just like the old times. Usually, this would dissipate Frederic’s anger 

However, this time, Frederic raised his hand to stop her, “I hope this is the last time you act out of your status. You are Glynnis Abernathy, not some nouveau riche who treats people like they’re beneath you. Act like you have class, with style. Otherwise, you’re no different from a fishwile.” 

Glynnis awkwardly held her arms in mid–air, forcing a smile, “Yes, Dad, I won’t do it again.” 

Frederic didn’t say anything, nor did he touch the food she brought. 

“Dad, we’re going to the horse racing event in a few days; you said my riding outfit looked good last time, right? I also had one made for you. The designer personally delivered it just now. Do you want to try it on?” 

Glynnis tried her best to appease Frederic’s anger 

“Glynnis, you don’t need to attend this year’s horse racing event, Frederic’s voice was unusually cold. 

“What?!” Glynnis stomped her foot, ranting, “Why won’t you take me? You always take me to the horse racing event every year!” 

*This year is an exception.” 

“Why?” Glynnis’s eyes widened in panic, her face sterling to contort, “All the high–class ladies from the prominent families in Elmsworth will be there; you can’t not take me!”  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“This year, I’ll be taking Manilla, Frederic lowered his eyelids, not even glancing at her. 

“How could you?! Glynnis’s mind went blank. 

“Why not? Manila is also my daughter; she’s also an Abernathy.” 

Frederic finally looked at her, his gaze colder than ever, “And you’ve been going for many years; you must be tired of the socializing. Marilla has never been there, and many people in Elmsworth don’t know her. In the future, I’ll give more of these opportunities to Marilla; that’s only fair.” 

Fair?! 

This man neglected Manilla for over a decade, and now suddenly he was playing favorites and talking about faimess?! 

“What? Judging from your expression, you’re not satisfied?” 

Frederic raised an eyebrow, “As an older sister you should take care of your younger sister, sharing good things with her, isn’t that right?” “No, Dad. It’s just that Marilla has autism; how could you take her to such an event? What if she has an episode? How would she cope?” 

“You don’t need to worry about that, Jareth will take good care of her.” 

Glynnis’s face flushed red then turned pale. She was completely speechless. 

*Leave, I have work to do.” 

Glynnis’s face went pale as sheet, and in the moment she turned around, her eyes were bloodshot with hatred, her teeth gritted.
