His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

At the crack of dawn, Jareth hurried to the hospital after tucking Marilla into bed, meeting up with members from both the Ashbourne and Abernathy families.

Hamilton, being the elderly patriarch,‘was exhausted. Thus, Frederic helped him to rest in a comfortable hospital room.

“Hey Cassius, I just finished questioning that son of a bitch.”

Cassius stepped into the hallway to take a call from Aaron, “I’m a seasoned detective with years of experience. I knew right off the bat that guy was hiding something. But he’s as stubborn as a bull, refusing to confess!”

“What did he say?” Cassius asked, his voice deep and steady.

“He claimed that he attacked Myra because he was once a die–hard fan. When Myra retired from showbiz after that scandal, he harbored resentment, feeling that she had deceived his feelings.

What a load of rubbish! Myra was a stunningly beautiful actress in her prime. He is just resentful when he couldn’t own her!” Aaron vented his frustrations to his elder brother.

Cassius frowned, “Get to the point.”

“Sorry, Cassius. I got carried away by my anger,” Aaroh apologized, then continued in a low voice, “He claimed that seeing Myra in the limelight again reminded him of his past heartbreak, which triggered his impulsive attack on her. But this is utter nonsense. There’s no way I’d believe him. He was definitely instigated by someone!”

“Your overnight investigation aligns with my suspicion.” Cassius responded in a calm tone.

“Cassius, there’s no other way. The evidence I’ve gathered so far only points to this. Besides, this guy is cunning. His phone is ‘squeaky clean, showing no sign of anyone pulling his strings. I suspect he has another phone and has planned everything meticulously.”

Cassius responded, “You need to dig deeper into this man’s background. If someone has bought him off, he wouldn’t have done this only once. There must be other victims.”

“What if this is his first time?” Aaron asked.

Cassius narrowed his eyes, replying coldly, “Then I wouldn’t believe his confession. Everything seems too coincidental, clearly a set–up. Whoever is plotting against Myra, I must investigate thoroughly.”

“I understand, Cassius. I won’t let our family be wronged without reason.”

Aaron paused, then asked hesitantly, “How’s Thaddeus doing?”

“He’s still critical.” Cassius’s voice tightened.

“Oh.” Aaron was at a loss for words.

“But I believe he’ll pull through, because Evadne is performing a craniotomy on him. The surgery has been going on for five hours already.”

“What?”

Aaron almost choked, “A craniotomy? Does Evadne think a human head is as easy to open as a watermelon? Gosh, Cassius, Evadne’s way of getting back at her ex–husband is quite unique!”

“We have to trust Dr. Eve’s medical skills. Opening up a human head probably isn’t much harder than slicing a watermelon for her.” Cassius thought of his multi–talented younger sister and a fond smile graced his lips.

“Dr Eve?”

Aaron was stunned, then exclaimed, “The miracle–working surgeon that’s been featured in papers and magazines multiple times, who’s saved lives from the jaws of death is Evadne?”

Cassius nodded proudly, “That’s our little sister.”

Aaron’s jaw dropped in disbelief.

“Damn, she’s badass!”

The next day, at 9 a.m.

Members of the Abernathy Group gathered outside the operating room again. Frederic was lending support to Hamilton as they both fixated their gazes on the OR’s door.
