His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 535

As the evening lights flickered to life, the mood in Elmsworth was far from serene.

Evadne and Thaddeus had hastily convened with Jason, and together they raced back to their hometown Jason, in a state of near panic, had been calling Nydia incessantly, only to be met with her voicemail and finally, the stark silence of a powered–down phone

“But Thaddeus. I’m still so scared”

“Don’t be, I’m here for you. We’ll find her together, Thaddeus reassured her, but his own emotions were a whirlwind of concern for Nydia and a strange sense of pleasure from Evadne’s dependence on him.

He didn’t care about how others laughed at him. He only hoped that he could be used by her and reflect his value as a man to the greatest extent.

Upon reaching the Elmsworth Film Academy, they parked discreetly at the back. Gordon, drenched in sweat, approached them with dire news. Mr. Abernathy, Mrs. Abernathy! We’ve turned the school upside down and even had the dorm supervisor check Nydia’s room. There’s no sign of her!”

Their hearts sank.

“And I’ve checked the nearby CCTV footage. There’s no trace of Nydia
