His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 559

Days turned into weeks, and Eden couldn’t resist the urge to surface once again!

But Evadne was blindsided when the messenger turned out to be Aviana, not Cassius or Jareth!

Thaddeus realized that Aviana’s abrupt questioning wasn’t without purpose. She knew Evadne too well.

If Evadne caught wind of Eden’s reappearance, she’d bolt after him without a second thought, and no one could stand in her way But someone had to be there to watch her back, right?

“Aviana! How did you find out?! Who told you that?!” Evadne’s heart was pounding with a mixture of excitement and shock.

“It was Lionel Griffith, that old man’s adopted son!”

Thaddeus furrowed his brow in confusion, murmuring, “Lionel is?”

Evadne’s eyes sparkled as she enthusiastically filled him in, “He’s the one who fed Cedric the golden feed. Technically, I should call him ‘Uncle.“”

Understanding flashed across Thaddeus’s face. “A man of talent, indeed.”

“I had him rally all his guys to spread Eden’s photo across Elmsworth’s turf, so as to search for him in the shadows.”

Aviana’s voice shook with emotion, “I just thought I’d try my luck, but it was out of expectation that we’d actually find him!”

Back home, she had discussed this with Suri. She paid extra attention to it and even asked for Eden’s photograph.

Evadne had thought it was mere curiosity, but Aviana had taken bold action, deploying her resources to find him–and she made it!

“Aviana, where did they spot Eden? And where is he now? They haven’t lost him, have they?” Evadne was frantic, gripping Thaddeus’s hand tightly.

“Eden and his boys hit up Elmsworth’s underground market, picking up hot watches and chains and stuff. Lionel didn’t have time to get the details.”

Elmsworth, underground market?

Evadne might’ve been a wild child among the rich and powerful, but even she hadn’t heard of such a place- and neither had Thaddeus, as a local of Elmsworth.

“Of course, now that Eden is a wanted international criminal, the Abernathy group, the Fairhaven group, and the cops are all on his tail. Like a rat that shuns the light, he’s got nowhere to go but places like that.”

Aaron couldn’t help but remark, “The S–Star Group really is the top dog around here–an underground intelligence network!”
