His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 432

Gordon’s booming voice was as strong as a bell tower, reaching even Evadne’s ears.

“Dr. Victor, I have some matters to attend to. I’ll get back to you later.”

Evadne quickly ended the call, her eyes immediately sparkling as they locked onto Thaddeus.

The man smirked, his large hand ruffling Evadne’s hair, “What made him finally see sense?”

“Just last night, Ward was attacked by his cellmate, who stabbed him in the neck with a sharpened toothbrush! Luckily, Ward managed to fight back long enough for the prison guards to intervene and save his life.”

Thaddeus and Evadne exchanged a heavy gaze, “How is he now?”

“He’s been released on medical grounds. As soon as his life was out of danger, he started demanding to see you and Mrs. Abernathy. I guess he’s scared!”

Gordon chuckled complacently, “He’s only been in there for a few days and already someone’s tried to kill him. How’s he going to survive the next twenty years? He’s obviously begging for you two to throw him a lifeline!”

Evadne’s eyes gleamed with delight. She tiptoed and threw her arms around Thaddeus’s neck, planting a sweet kiss on his cheek.

Thaddeus’s eyes darkened, his right arm wrapping around her slender waist, his hand on her haunch behind, effortlessly lifting her up. His masculine strength was a heady, intoxicating feeling.

His left hand was at the back of her head, responding to her kiss with equal fer vor.

His eyes were filled with her blushing beauty, the atmosphere taking on a dreamy haze.

“Classic you, seeing right through your wicked stepmom’s plans, Evadne teased, her nose touching Thaddeus’s, not holding back on her praise.

“Evadne, I could only think of this because I have you by my side, your sharp intellect waking me up. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought of this method.”

Thaddeus pecked her soft, rosy lips, “Elspeth fell into the trap because you used the media to attack her. She had get rid of the evidence. I didn’t expect her to act so quickly. Now she’s under house arrest, and both Alex and Ward have been arrested. She’s still able to pull strings without leaving her house, she must have quite the network.”

Evadne squinted her eyes, “Mr. Thaddeus, don’t forget about your dear sister Glynnis. If we’re talking about ruthlessness, she’s on a whole different level.” “I only have one sister, and that’s Marilla.”

Thaddeus’s voice was husky with desire, his eyes like a predator eyeing its long–awaited prey, an overwhelming presence that made her heart race, “But you, you have quite a few close male friends.”

“Who? Dr. Victor?” Evadne’s lips curved up teasingly, “Are you jealous?”

“What do you think?“–

Thaddeus’s eyes glinted, “Any man who would go to such lengths for you, apart from your father, your brothers, and me, I would never believe that they don’t harbor feelings for you.”

“And so what if they do? I’m the object of many men’s desire.”

Evadne fluttered her lashes, running her fingers through her hair, “If you can’t even handle Dr. Victor, then you’re in for a tough time, hmph.”

Even though Thaddeus knew she was joking, he couldn’t help but feel a stab of jealousy, his bright eyes dimming.

Evadne stopped teasing him, her warm breath tickling his ear, “Out of all the fish in the sea, I only want you.”

Thaddeus’s heart pounded against his chest.

Suddenly, memories of the past flooded back.

Now, he couldn’t even stand the thought of a mere friend being by Evadne’s side. How did she manage to stay by his side for the past three years, going through endless days and nights of torment?

Thinking about his past coldness towards her, Thaddeus’s eyes welled up with tears, his heart aching as if it was being torn apart.
