His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 179

Chapter 179
When Thaddeus pulled up to the BBQ joint, Evadne and the man had already skedaddled.
He clamped his lips together, his face stiff at the memory of that photo of Evadne and the guy getting all cozy.
Standing there, he felt like such a chump.
He was worried, but also doubting himself.
Evadne had been eating at this sketchy place past midnight with a guy who seemed dodgy as hell. Didn’t she have a clue how dangerous that could be?
Suddenly his phone buzzed. It was an unknown number.
Thaddeus exhaled and answered, “Who’s this?”
“Is this Mr. Thaddeus?” Came the female voice from the other end.
“Yeah, it’s me.”
“This is the Eastern District Branch of Elmsworth Public Security Bureau. Is Gordon a relative of yours?”
Thaddeus frowned, “He’s my secretary. What’s up?”
“We need you to swing by our office. We’ll fill you in when you get here.”
The events of the night could only be described as surreal.
As his car sped down the street, Thaddeus’ mind raced. He was unable to fathom how Gordon, who wouldn’t hurt a fly, had ended up in the police station. Thaddeus hurried into the police station, bumping into a tall handsome man in a black leather jacket.
The same guy from the photo, getting all touchy-feely with Evadne!
Aaron also spotted Thaddeus, his eyes practically lighting up, seeing right through him.
A smirk flashed across his face as he asked, “You’re Thaddeus? Here to bail out Gordon?”
Thaddeus gave him a cold look, “What’s it to you?”
“Hah, that’s a funny question.”

Aaron chuckled, “I’m the one that brought him in. How could it not concern me?”
Thaddeus scowled, “Is this some sort of revenge?”
“Revenge?”
“You’re getting back at my secretary because he found out about you and Evadne, right?”
Thaddeus was pis sed. He couldn’t see past the young man in front of him, thinking he was just pursuing Evadne.
Hearing this, Aaron laughed, “You being a CEO with that kind of IQ is a true miracle.”
Thaddeus bit back, “A ‘service industry’ guy strolling into a police station and playing the victim, I really admire your guts.”
Aaron was taken aback.
What the hell was this guy talking about? ‘Service industry’? Did he look that frivolous?
On the contrary, the one who’d hurt Evadne, with his pretty face and buff body, could probably fetch a good price!
Just then, two policemen happened to pa** by, saluting as they saw Aaron.
“Captain Ashbourne!”
“Hmm” Aaron responded with a nod and a smile.
Thaddeus held his breath, staring at Aaron in disbelief.
This young man wasn’t some thug. He was a cop?
Captain Ashbourne? Evadne Ashbourne?
On closer inspection, Thaddeus found those big bright eyes and chiseled nose and jawline seemed oddly familiar.
“Aaron!”
Thaddeus suddenly froze as a pleasant and familiar female voice sounded behind him.
How many sons did Emeric have?
Wasn’t he afraid of a family feud in his old age?
Slowly turning around, he saw Evadne standing a few steps behind him, giving him a cold stare.
“Evadne, why are you here?”
Ignoring Thaddeus, Aaron quickly walked over, “I told you I’ve got this. You just need to rest.”
“No, I have to handle this myself.”
Then Evadne turned to Thaddeus, her cold and distant gaze making his heart sink.
Since the divorce, she’d always been this cold towards him. Before, he felt more resentment, but now, it was fear.
Deep down, he didn’t want to see her treat him like a stranger.
He’d rather she hate him, hit him, bite him, anything but this indifference.
“Evadne.” He croaked out her name.
“Thaddeus, let’s talk outside.”
Evadne shot him a cold look before turning to leave.
Thaddeus’ gaze followed her retreating figure, eager to catch up, but was stopped by Aaron.
“Hey, cold-blooded CEO. I’m warning you, we are at police station. If you mess with my sister, I’ll slap cuffs on you.”
