His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 383

Cassius and Jason sauntered out, leaving behind a trail of whispers that the CEO of the K Group had dropped by the Abernathy group out of blue, which spread through the skyscraper like wildfire.

Jareth, supporting visibly weakened Thaddeus, returned to the office; Gordon followed them because of concern.

His arm was dislocated, the pain so intense it had soaked his clothes in sweat, yet he remained silent.

Jareth had noticed something was amiss, leading to the discovery of Gordon’s injury. Their staff members took Gordon to the hospital for treatment regardless of the latter’s resisting.

“That Cassius, always so polite and refined, who knew he could be such a boor.” Jareth signed, unable to find the words to describe the shock.

It was terrifying.

“It was all for his sister. I can understand that,” Thaddeus said weakly, slumped on the couch, his neck thrown back in exhaustion.

If someone else had wronged Evadne, Thaddeus feared he would have reacted even more violently than Cassius.

Recalling Cassius‘ words before he left, Thaddeus felt his breath hitch, as if his blood had frozen in his veins.

“Fair enough. I guess if it were Marilla, I don’t think I could have stayed calm either.”

Jareth’s gaze fixed on the knife wound on Thaddeus‘ neck. It wasn’t deep, but enough to stain his crisp white shirt collar a jarring red, “You should get that checked out at the hospital.”

“It’s nothing,” Thaddeus gasped.

“Why did Cassius suddenly turn on you?” Jareth asked, worry clouding his features.

“He found out that Evadne and I’ve been intimate.”

“So it seems that in Cassius‘ eyes, Evadne isn’t just his sister anymore, she’s his daughter. He’s playing the overprotective brother, huh? You’re lucky he didn’t come in guns blazing,” Jareth joked, trying to lighten the mood.

“Anyway, it’s my fault. After the divorce, I shouldn’t have touched her.”

Thaddeus choked with frustration, running his hands through his hair, “But Jareth, I couldn’t control myself, my thoughts, my body That night, she was so close, the temptation was too much. All I could think about was possessing her. I wanted her.”

Possessing her, penetrating her, making her his.

Remembering Marilla’s words, Jareth felt a pang of sympathy for Evadne, “Thad, to be honest, I don’t blame Cassius for wanting to kill you. What you did to Evadne was monstrous.”

“What are you talking about?” Thaddeus asked, his eyes wide with confusion.

“Two years ago, you claimed Evadne as your woman, but you have no memory of it. Aren’t you a beast or what?”

“Jareth.”
