His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 400

Elspeth’s twenty million was stashed away in the Bank of Country R, a clear indictor that the money in her Country R account was the result of her embezzlement.

To be able to take out twenty million at a moment’s notice meant that she must have embezzled astronomical sums, likely from the Abernathy Group’s various sources and the bribes she received in her capacity as the chairman’s wife.

“Gordon, has Elspeth transferred the money to Ward yet?” Thaddeus asked, his gaze as deep as a starry night sky.

“It’s been transferred.”

“Has he withdrawn it?”

“Not yet. It’s such a large sum, he’d need a dump truck to carry it! Carrying around that much cash is too conspicuous, especially when he’s planning to make a run for it.”

Thaddeus nodded slightly, “Alright, contact the police immediately and freeze Ward’s account.”

“Right away, Mr. Thaddeus!” Gordon promptly stood and left to do just that.

Indeed, freezing an account was something the police could do quite easily.

“Hmph, that beast won’t be able to get his hands on the money and will likely turn against Elspeth out of desperation.”

Evadne’s eyes were sharp and bright, “The focus now is to track down Ward. Once we catch him, he’ll have no choice but to spill the beans on Elspeth’s crimes.”

“That guy, we’ve got a lead.” Jareth casually leaned back, slinging a careless leg over the armrest of his chair.

Evadne and Thaddeus: “What?”

“Why else do you think I came to see you? I’m not here for a social call. If I were, I would have brought Marilla with me.”

Jareth’s left arm draped lazily over the back of the couch, exuding a mafia prince’s dominant presence, “One of our Fairhaven family operatives found a clue at Sunset Harbor. Two fishermen saw Ward sneaking onto a cargo ship late at night. The ship is bound for Country T. It seems he plans to smuggle himself out.”

“Country T? Do you think he might change his course to another country en route?” Evadne frowned, worry clouding her features. “Possibly, but the two countries along the way are pretty barren. What’s he going to do with twenty million there, use it as kindling?”

Jareth continued, “So I’ve sent my guys to secretly follow him. We won’t overlook any harbors in the other countries either. But we need to be careful not to spook him. If he jumps ship midway or switches to a yacht or speedboat, it’ll make our job much harder.

Evadne, Thad, don’t worry. Even if he leaves the country and the police can’t apprehend him immediately, our Fairhaven Group will bring him back, intact.”

Smuggling goods, a skill the Fairhaven Group had perfected, having built their empire on it.

“My older brother has connections in Country T. I’ll get in touch with him so we can work together and catch him unawares.” Evadne was eager to participate, practically itching to get in on the chase herself.

“Oh, if your brother could lend a hand, that would be great!” Jareth said cheerfully.

Thaddeus‘ sharp gaze pierced Jareth’s ingratiating face like a dart.

When had this guy learned to act so obnoxious, flaunting his douchebag attitude like that?

With both Thaddeus and Jareth bringing good news, Evadne couldn’t help but let her happiness shine through.

She had the basic manners of a good host, so she went to the bar to prepare some drinks for them.

Taking advantage of Evadne’s absence, Jareth scooted over to sit next to Thaddeus.

“Aren’t you cold?” Thaddeus asked in a chilly tone.

“Huh? No, why would I be?”

“Then move away. I don’t like the smell of your perfume!

“Tch, so picky! Who cares if you like it or not, so long as Marilla does!”

As he spoke, Jareth’s eyes roamed over Thaddeus‘ face, finally settling on a red mark hidden beneath his shirt collar. Jareth’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a low voice, “Thad, did you and Evadne, you know, last night?”

“How did you know?” Thaddeus‘ long lashes fluttered, his dark eyes rippling with emotion.
