Chapter 380

Jareth was summoned to a meeting by Barry Fairhaven, but halfway through, he received a call from Thaddeus, urging him to rush over to Sunset Ridge immediately This caused him to leave the Fairhaven meeting prematurely, under the surprised stares of his colleagues, Jareth raced to Thaddeus‘ villa.

“What the heck!”

Before he even reached the gate, he noticed a thick cloud of smoke billowing above the house, causing his face to turn pale in fear. He sprinted into the house without any hesitation.

Eventually, he found Thaddeus in the backyard, burning items in a metal barrel.

Thaddeus stood next to the flames, his handsome face pale and strained. The blaze reflected off his face, making him look like a desolate statue standing amidst a battlefield.

Jareth, completely taken aback, quickly walked up to him and asked anxiously, “Thad, what’s going on? What are you burning?”

Before his voice trailed off, Thaddeus threw another item into the fire.

Upon a closer look, Jareth realized it was a picture of him and Acacia!

“Did you bring me here after I was drugged?” Thaddeus suddenly asked.

“Yeah, I only knew this place. Didn’t you used to come here often before?” Jareth replied, still trying to grasp the situation, “I couldn’t possibly take you back to Windermere Estate in that state, and it wouldn’t have been convenient to take you to my house either, so I figured this was the best place for you.”

Thaddeus opened his eyes, “Did you call Evadne here?”

“Yeah, when you were delirious, you kept calling out for Evadne. I felt obligated to help, so I tricked Evadne into coming here.”

Jareth looked around, questioning in surprise, “Hey, where’s Evadne? Did she leave?”

Suddenly, there was a loud bang!

In a fit of rage, Thaddeus kicked over the burning barrel, his eyes strikingly red!

Sparks flew, landing on Jareth. He tried to shield his face with his arms, but the hot sparks burned holes into his expensive suit, even singeing his hair!

“What the heck! Thaddeus, have you lost your mind?! Were you trying to burn me as well?! I’m not made of paper!” Jareth exclaimed, trying to put out the sparks on his clothes.

Thaddeus, still not fully recovered, was panting heavily, his shirt soaked with sweat. He glared at Jareth with fury in his eyes.

“How could you bring her here, how could you!”

“What’s wrong with this place?” Jareth asked, confused and oblivious to the severity of the situation.

“This villa was a gift I gave to Acacia. You brought Evadne here. Were you trying to break her heart? Did you want her to hate me?!” Thaddeus was shaking uncontrollably, his voice hoarse with desperation.

This scene terrified Jareth.

They had been best friends since childhood. Thaddeus had never lost control like this before, and never directed his anger at him.

He truly cared for Evadne. All he thought about was her.

“Thad, I genuinely didn’t know.”

“This villa, I had asked Gordon to sell it a long time ago, but it hasn’t been sold yet. The things in the villa, including these pictures of Acacia, I asked Gordon to get rid of them as soon as possible.”

Thaddeus was shaking uncontrollably, his hands tightly clutching his hair. He was filled with regret, “It’s all my fault. If I had known this would happen.”

Suddenly, Thaddeus collapsed to the ground!

All of a sudden, as if the entire energy was drained, Thaddeus‘ straight body collapsed on the ground with a thump!
