His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 5
So, the ugly truth of these top executives talking behind the female president is all out in the open now.
“This is way too much! Missy is the only legitimate daughter of the Ashbourne family! What the hell were they thinking?” Jason, the President’s secretary sitting in the pa**enger seat, was so angry that his cheeks turned red.
“Ah, all that stuff about being the legitimate daughter, that’s all in the past now. I don’t care about It, yet here you are still fussing over it.”
Evadne squinted her eyes, reached out, and pinched Jason’s cheek, turning it even redder.
“Evadne, you’re the future President K, can’t you act a bit more like a leader? Don’t treat Jason like this.” Cas sius frowned slightly.
“What’s wrong? It’s okay for male bosses to flirt with female secretaries, but I can’t touch my male secretary’s face?”
Evadne smirked, “Besides, he should be thanking me!”
Cas sius just shook his head, his eyes filled with a doting and gentle smile.
Meanwhile.
The executives gathered around Evadne and Cas sius as they walked into the hotel.
The vice president Keith Porter led them towards the elevator, but Evadne casually said, “I want to have a look at the restaurant first.”
Well, okay! She started inspecting the moment she stepped in, without even saying hello!
Nervously, Keith led President Ashbourne and the others to the buffet restaurant.
Cas sius remained calm, just letting his sister do her thing.
It wasn’t lunchtime yet, so there were no customers in the restaurant, but the waitstaff had already started setting up the food.
Evadne’s sharp eyes scanned the dishes, stopping abruptly at the seafood section.
She rolled up her sleeves, reached into the gla** tank, and accurately picked out a dead shrimp from hundreds.
“Explain.”
“Th-this shrimp isn’t dead…” Keith stammered.
“It’s not dead? Then how about you try it?” Evadne said, smiling.

“President Ashbourne, as you can see, there are many shrimps, it’s normal if one is dead…”
“It’s normal for a shrimp to die, but if a customer ate it and got food poisoning, would you still think it’s normal?”
Evadne immediately dropped her smile, “Also, there are 356 shrimps in this tank, I quickly counted, there are five dead shrimps and at least thirty barely alive. I don’t know how the customers would feel when they find such things in their $30 meal, but my opinion is, I’ll never come to this hotel again! Dispose of all seafood immediately and find a new supplier. If I see one dead shrimp in tomorrow’s lunch, I’ll bring it back for you to taste.”
Keith was scared stiff, and the executives were stupefied.
Only Cas sius and Jason knew that Evadne had an amazing memory, she could remember a lot of information at a glance. When she was young, she even helped the police solve a major crime case with those eyes.
Counting a few shrimps was a piece of cake for her.
After arriving at the guest rooms, Evadne took a white handkerchief from Jason and gently wiped it on the wall and picture frames.
“The cleaning is subpar, there’s dust, redo it.”
The executives were utterly hopeless.
“You must be thinking I’m being overly picky about these details, right?”
Evadne appeared calm, but her tone was serious, “But these minor issues could lead to the downfall of a century-old hotel. If these problems were found by the star rating committee, we would lose our star rating!”
She gestured to Jason, who understood and ordered, “Open the door to this guest room.”
The head of the room department fumbled to open the door. In the past, when bosses came for inspections, they would usually clean two sample rooms for them to check, just for show.
But President Ashbourne completely ignored the standard procedures!
Evadne entered the room, first inspecting the bathroom, then the bedroom, sitting on the bed.
Immediately, her face turned serious.
But she didn’t say anything, just ended the inspection and went to the General Manager’s office with her brother.

“How do you feel after the inspection? Cas sius asked with a smile.
“Heh, it’s a complete mess.”
Evadne collapsed onto the sofa, propping her elbow on the armrest and sighing. “Is Emeric testing me or mocking me? This hotel is the pits! Is this really a property of the Ashbourne family?”
“Evadne, this hotel was founded by our grandfather. The Ashbourne group started with the hotel industry and gradually expanded with hard work, that’s how we got the K Group today.
This hotel is not a disaster, but a place carrying the sentiments of three generations of the Ashbourne group. But because we now have too many businesses, and indeed, the hotel industry has been in a slump these past few years, we all have our own jobs, so… it was neglected.”
Cas sius sighed with self-blame and helplessness, “You’ll have to work harder.”
That’s when Evadne noticed the all-black plano in the corner.
She caught her breath.
“I had it put there. I remember you used to play the piano when you were feeling down, or you’d go to the riding range and have a good horse
ride.”
Cas sius blinked, “I think you’ll be busy these next two months, horse riding is not realistic, so when you’re tired, play a few pieces. You play the piano very well, I remember…”
“Thank you. But I haven’t played the piano in a long time.”
Evadne’s throat was dry, an old wound in her heart that had taken so long to heal quietly opened again. The blood flowing from her cold heart was still hot.
“What happened?” Cas sius was startled.
“I injured my hand while working as a Doctors Without Borders, rescuing casualties on the battlefield. I ruptured the ligament in my little finger, it didn’t break, but it’s as good as useless, can’t play wide range notes anymore, might as well.. stop playing.”
Evadne tried to sound as calm as possible when recounting the story.
Cas sius’ heart ached, he quickly held his sister’s hand.
“Was it… for Thaddeus?”
